"The Gershwin Theatre because it's the home to WICKED. The seats are comfortable an there's the giant dragon that's so beautiful. I just love everything about this theatre" @charlotte_rose1
"The Lyceum Theatre holds a special place in my heart because it was where I saw my first Broadway show (@BeMoreChill btw). Its balcony was so high that I can see everything onstage." @royandoyanc
"The Palace. It's where I saw my first musical (Beauty and the Beast), and then Aida. Not to mention the history that's tied to it with Judy Garland. It's just a gorgeous theater (painted with gold leaf)." @CovergirlChase
