Beaumont Theater / Seating Chart

Special Event!

Award-winning comedian and storyteller Mike Birbiglia returns to Broadway this fall with a tale of life, death, and a highly chlorinated YMCA pool. Birbiglia takes the stage at the esteemed Vivian Beaumont Theater at Lincoln Center to chronicle his coming-of-middle-age story that asks the big questions: Why are we here? What’s next? What happens when the items at the doctor’s office that you thought were decorative become functional?

The Old Man and the Pool, which played to sold-out houses in Berkeley, Chicago and Los Angeles, resonates with audiences ages 12 to 112. It’s a hilarious reminder for all of us recovering from failing bodies and a flailing world that laughter is indeed the best medicine.

Get tickets now, and remember: Mike’s here for a good time, not a long time. Head over! This strictly limited Broadway engagement has been extended through January 15!


Masks are optional in the lobby and theater of the Vivian Beaumont for Mike Birbiglia: The Old Man & The Pool. Concessions are available for sale, and food and drink are permitted in the Beaumont Lobby. View full Covid safety policies for LCT here.
