Named for America's greatest playwright, the Eugene O'Neill Theatre has been home to The Book of Mormon since 2011. Originally the Forrest Theatre, its intimate size belies its outsized impact on the American dramatic canon.
Acoustics, seating, and what to expect
The Eugene O'Neill Theatre's curved walls, coved ceiling, and plaster decorations contribute to good sound quality throughout the venue. The Orchestra section provides an immersive auditory experience due to proximity to the stage, while the Mezzanine offers clear acoustics with excellent sightlines.
Center Orchestra rows A-D offer the most intimate and detailed view with excellent sight lines. Rows E-H provide an ideal balance of proximity and comprehensive stage perspective while maintaining strong acoustics.
