Triad Theater, Entertainment venue in Upper West Side, Manhattan, United States.
The Triad Theater is a small theater venue on the second floor of a building on West 72nd Street in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. It seats around 130 people and hosts mainly comedy shows, musicals, and cabaret performances.
The space opened in 1984 as a supper club before being converted into a theater. Over the years it went through several name changes and shifts in focus until it settled into its current role as an Off-Broadway address.
The Triad Theater is a place where performers often try out new material in front of a small, attentive crowd. That closeness between stage and audience creates an energy that is rarely found in larger venues.
The theater sits in the Upper West Side, a busy neighborhood with many restaurants and shops close by. Because the room is small, buying tickets ahead of time is a good idea, especially for popular shows.
Lady Gaga performed here early in her career, long before she became known worldwide. The theater also hosted private performances by Neil Diamond, who once owned the building.
