Katsura Sunshine's Rakugo
Japanese comic storytelling offers a different kind of New York theater night.
New World Stages is one Off-Broadway building with several distinct auditoriums. That makes the stage number an essential part of your booking: a seat map for one stage cannot be used to assess a ticket for another. Use the public theater entrance at 340 West 50th Street and keep the production title and stage together in your plans.

SHOWS & PERFORMANCE DATES
Find the production you want to see, then choose your date.
View shows at this venue →One building, separate performances
The Gazillion Bubble Show is listed by the operator in Stage 2, The Play That Goes Wrong in Stage 4, and Jamie Allan’s Amaze in Stage 5. Check your current ticket for the stage, date, and performance time. A shared address does not mean the productions share an auditorium, schedule, or seating arrangement.
For family or group outings, agree on a meeting point and identify the show before joining a line. If you are comparing two productions for the same day, choose on content, suitability, and actual availability rather than assuming similar logistics make the experiences interchangeable.
Find your stage before choosing a seat
New World Stages houses multiple auditoriums, so the stage number is as important as the building address. Match the show on your ticket with the correct stage-specific seating chart. A good seat in one auditorium tells you little about the same row label in another, and a booking for one show does not establish the arrangement for the next.
The complex has elevator access, but the seating areas differ. Stages 2 and 4 have steps between rows; Stage 5 has a step-free Orchestra but steps in the Mezzanine. Confirm the location for your actual stage, then make sure everyone in the party knows the show name when arriving at the shared venue.
SEATING ADVICE
Where to sit at New World Stages
Stage 2: The Gazillion Bubble Show
Start with the Stage 2 chart. Compare family seating needs and the actual offer, then ask about any necessary access arrangement before purchasing.
Stage 4: The Play That Goes Wrong
Use Stage 4’s own layout and restriction notices. Do not transfer row or seat recommendations from Stage 2, even where the auditoriums appear similar.
Stage 5: Jamie Allan’s Amaze
Compare the Orchestra and Mezzanine using the Stage 5 map. Check which level the offer covers and whether its route suits your party.
How to book tickets and choose your seats
Choose a show at New World Stages above and open its performance calendar. Select the date and time, then use Book Tickets to see the available options. Some shows offer individual seats; others offer a seating section or price band. Review the seating details, total price, and any conditions about sitting together before you book.
Use the seating guide to narrow your search, then read any restricted-view information attached to the actual ticket. For a last-minute booking, confirm the performance time and ticket-delivery instructions while leaving enough time to reach 340 West 50th Street. Calendar availability can change until your booking is confirmed.
For a wheelchair space, transfer seat, or companion arrangement, confirm the specific location and access route with the venue before purchase. These are different requirements, and an ordinary aisle seat may not meet them.
Accessibility and getting there
The box office is reached without steps, and the complex has elevator access to theater levels and accessible restrooms. Individual auditoriums differ: Stages 2 and 4 have steps between rows; Stage 5 has no steps between Orchestra rows but does have steps in the Mezzanine. Confirm the designated location for your stage.
