SoHo Playhouse

Experience the original political machine and cast your vote at Tammany Hall.

SYNOPSIS: A new, site-specific, immersive downtown theater experience takes you back to the legendary Election Night of November 5, 1929 for an intimate experience of the corruption, scandal, and romance that brought New York’s most notorious political machine crashing down.

Cast your vote and await the results of the night’s major mayoral race while exploring 15 rooms spanning 7,500sq/ft of Soho Playhouse, one of New York’s landmark Jazz Age hotspots. Rub shoulders with some of New York’s most legendary politicians like Jimmy Walker and Fiorella Laguardia, showgirls like Legs Diamond and Betty Compton, and a host of nefarious gangsters and molls, all in the very rooms where it all happened during the Prohibition Era.

Observe political plots in the club room, spy on trysts in the penthouse suite, peek in at Follies rehearsals on stage, and maybe even knock back libations while conspiring with henchmen and government spies in the underground speakeasy
