As You Like It Tickets

If you're looking for As You Like It tickets, you're planning an evening around one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies — a witty, romantic journey from courtly exile into the restorative Forest of Arden. Performed worldwide for more than 400 years, As You Like It remains a favorite of theater companies, Shakespeare festivals, and regional stages, with the Shaina Taub musical adaptation adding a joyful folk-pop reimagining to the play's long performance life.

This page covers everything you need — from what the show is and what to expect, to finding the right seats and buying with complete confidence.

Show Information

As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare, written around 1599 and believed to have been first performed around 1603. The play is loosely based on Thomas Lodge's prose romance Rosalynde from 1590 and has become one of the defining works in the global Shakespeare repertoire. A well-known musical adaptation by Shaina Taub premiered in 2017 as part of The Public Theater's Public Works program at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, New York, with music, lyrics, and adaptation by Taub and direction by Laurie Woolery.

The production is performed as both a Shakespearean comedy and, in some settings, as the Shaina Taub folk-pop musical adaptation. It is staged by theater companies, Shakespeare festivals, and regional theaters worldwide, with the musical version continuing to receive regional productions. Running time is typically about 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on the staging and whether the performance is the play or musical adaptation, and productions usually include one intermission.

The play is widely regarded as one of Shakespeare's finest and most beloved comedies. It contains the famous “All the world's a stage” monologue, one of the most quoted passages in English literature, and features Rosalind — one of Shakespeare's richest and most celebrated comic female roles. Notable modern stagings include a 2019 Royal Shakespeare Company production, a 2022 National Theatre production featuring Jonathan Groff as Rosalind, and Kenneth Branagh's 2006 film adaptation.

Story Summary

As You Like It begins in an unspecified French duchy, where Rosalind is banished by her usurping uncle and flees the court with her devoted cousin Celia. The two escape into the Forest of Arden, where Rosalind disguises herself as a young man named Ganymede. In the forest, she encounters Orlando, the man she loves, and uses her disguise to test, teach, and tease him in the ways of courtship.

The play's comic world grows through a tangle of lovers, philosophers, fools, and exiles. Touchstone brings clownish wit to the countryside, Jaques reflects on the stages of human life, and Duke Senior's forest refuge contrasts sharply with the politics of the court. Around Rosalind and Orlando, mismatched romances and shifting identities explore love, gender, self-discovery, and the healing power of nature.

The story ends in reconciliation and a joyful quartet of weddings, making it one of Shakespeare's classic comedies of renewal. No prior knowledge of Shakespeare or the source material is needed to enjoy As You Like It; the play and its adaptations are designed to stand on their own, with themes of love, belonging, and transformation that land across ages and backgrounds.

Story Highlights

These signature moments help explain why As You Like It remains so enduring on stage:

• "All the World's a Stage" — Jaques's Seven Ages of Man speech is one of the most quoted passages in Shakespeare. The monologue maps human life from infancy through old age, giving the comedy one of its most reflective and memorable turns.
• "Under the Greenwood Tree" — Sung by Amiens, this is one of the best-known songs woven into Shakespeare's original text. Its pastoral tone captures the forest's sense of escape, refuge, and communal life.
• "Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind" — Another enduring song from the play, this moment reflects on friendship, ingratitude, and the emotional chill of human betrayal. It adds a lyrical, bittersweet counterpoint to the comedy's romantic energy.
• "Rosalind's Disguise as Ganymede" — Rosalind's decision to dress as a young man drives the central comic conceit of the play. Her disguised conversations with Orlando let her shape the romance from the inside while revealing her intelligence, wit, and emotional depth.
• "The Quadruple Wedding Finale" — The joyful ending unites four couples and restores harmony to the fractured world of the play. It is a classic Shakespearean comedy resolution, bringing love, forgiveness, and celebration together.
• "Will You Marry Me?" — In Shaina Taub's folk-pop adaptation, celebratory ensemble numbers transform the forest reconciliation into an uplifting communal finale. The Public Works staging is known for blending professional actors with community performers, giving the moment a broad, joyful spirit.

As You Like It Seating Guide

As You Like It is performed in theaters of varying sizes, from regional stages to Shakespeare festival venues and larger professional houses. Where you sit shapes how you experience the language, comedy, music, and ensemble staging.

Best Seats for As You Like It

The best seats depend on whether you want close-up character detail, a full view of the stage picture, or the strongest overall value.

• Best value: upper mezzanine or rear orchestra sections — These seats typically provide a clear view of the stage while keeping you farther from premium front-section pricing.
• Closest to the stage: front orchestra sections — These seats put you near the actors, making Rosalind's wit, Orlando's reactions, and the play's physical comedy feel especially immediate.
• Best overall experience: mid-orchestra or front mezzanine sections — These areas usually offer the strongest balance of proximity, comfort, and full-stage sightlines.
• For families with young children: aisle-access seats can make arrival, intermission, and exits easier. Because productions typically run about 2 to 2.5 hours with one intermission, planning around the act break can help younger theatergoers stay comfortable.
• For groups: coordinate contiguous seats early, since blocks in popular orchestra and mezzanine sections can sell through quickly for in-demand dates.

As You Like It Seating Chart

You can view an interactive seating map for As You Like It productions directly on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com while browsing available listings. The map lets you compare sections, check row depth and distance from the stage, and see real-time pricing for what's currently available — all before committing to a purchase.

Can I See Where My Seats Are?

Yes. The interactive seat map on BoxOfficeTicketSales.com shows your exact section and row placement before you buy. Use it to understand your angle to the stage, your distance from the front, and whether you're in the orchestra, mezzanine, or balcony — so the seats you choose match exactly what you're looking for before the curtain rises.

Getting Ready for Show Night

Once your tickets are confirmed, a little preparation makes the full experience run smoothly from arrival through the final bow.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Cell service around the theater can be congested on busy performance nights. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before heading out so you're ready at the door without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard at most theaters. A portable battery pack is worth having, especially if you're combining the show with dinner or other activities.
• Arrive at least 30 minutes before curtain. Theater doors open well before the show begins; arriving early gives you time to find your seats and settle in before the house lights go down — and avoids the disruption of late seating, which many theaters restrict.
• Plan for the intermission. As You Like It productions typically include one intermission, so expect concession and restroom lines to build quickly once the act break begins.
• Know the venue's phone and photography policy. Professional productions generally ask audiences to silence phones and refrain from recording or photographing during the performance.
• For families: The play is a gentle romantic comedy and is appropriate for most ages, while the Public Works musical adaptation is designed to be family-friendly. If you're attending with younger children, review the runtime in advance so everyone is ready for a full theater outing.
