This page covers everything you need to know before you go — from finding the right seats to getting there, navigating the venue, and buying with confidence.
Westside Theatre Upstairs is an off-Broadway theater located inside the Westside Theatre building at 407 West 43rd Street in Manhattan. The building originally served as a church before being converted into a theatrical venue, and it has operated as an off-Broadway house for decades under Westside Theatre. The Upstairs Theatre seats approximately 270 guests in a single auditorium, creating a smaller-scale setting than many Broadway and larger off-Broadway houses.
The venue hosts off-Broadway theatrical productions, including plays, musicals, revues, and solo or limited-run performances. Its intimate scale is especially well suited to dialogue-driven plays and small-cast musicals, where audience proximity matters. The Westside Theatre building has long been associated with popular off-Broadway runs, including the long-running musical revue “I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change.”
The Upstairs Theatre is known for its single seating section, roughly 17 rows, relatively low stage, and comfortable legroom, all of which place patrons close to the action.
Westside Theatre Upstairs is located at 407 West 43rd St, New York, NY 10036 — on West 43rd Street between 9th and 10th Avenues in Manhattan's Hell's Kitchen and Theater District area.
Transit: Transit is highly practical for Westside Theatre Upstairs. The Times Square–42nd Street subway hub, served by the 1/2/3, 7, N/Q/R/W, and S trains, is a short walk east, as is the 42nd Street–Port Authority Bus Terminal station for the A/C/E trains. Numerous crosstown and avenue bus lines also serve the surrounding Midtown and Hell's Kitchen area.
Driving and Parking: On-street parking is extremely limited and difficult in Midtown Manhattan. Several commercial parking garages operate nearby in Hell's Kitchen and near the Theater District, with premium Manhattan pricing typical for the area. Because of the venue's strong transit access and dense Midtown traffic, driving is generally less convenient than taking public transportation.
Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are widely available around Hell's Kitchen, but Midtown traffic and theater-district congestion around curtain times can slow pickups. After the show, walking a block toward a quieter cross street can help make pickup easier.
Nearby Accommodation: Lodging is abundant in the Theater District, Times Square, and Hell's Kitchen. Options range from luxury hotels to mid-range and boutique properties, with many within walking distance of the venue.

Westside Theatre Upstairs ticket prices vary significantly depending on the type of event, the production, seating section, and demand — which is what you'd expect from a venue that hosts everything from off-Broadway plays to in-demand limited-run musicals and revues.
For off-Broadway plays and musicals at Westside Theatre Upstairs, tickets typically fall in the mid-range off-Broadway price band, often roughly $49–$125 depending on the production and seat location. Premium seats can be higher for in-demand runs, especially when a production is popular or availability is tight.
Price drivers include the specific show, the popularity of the run, the performance date, the day of the week, and seat location within the single section. Center seats a short distance back often command stronger demand because they balance proximity with a full-stage view.
For popular limited runs, buying earlier generally secures better seat locations and stronger availability. As inventory shrinks and the performance date approaches, the best remaining seats can move quickly and prices may rise.
