5th Row Center
/c/5th-row-center
5th Row Center with Roma Torre is a television series dedicated to making Broadway and live theater more accessible, transparent, and audience-driven.
Hosted by three-time Emmy-winning broadcast journalist and theater critic Roma Torre, the series brings fans inside the world of live theater with clarity, context, and perspective. Torre’s signature and trusted reviews, recognized for their intelligence, fairness, and plain spoken insight, help fans decide what’s worth their time and their ticket money in an increasingly expensive and crowded Broadway marketplace.
Beyond reviews, 5th Row Center is built around conversation. Its marquee segment, BROADWAY unScripted, is a live-to-tape roundtable that brings together an eclectic mix of theater journalists, artists, producers, and industry voices; while uniquely inviting fans to join the discussion in real time live on YouTube. By opening the table to the audience, the series reflects how theater is actually experienced: communally, passionately, and with many points of view.
Designed for viewers who love theater but want smarter access to it, 5th Row Center blends traditional broadcast journalism with modern technology to create a show that is informed without being exclusive, critical without being cynical, and always rooted in the audience experience.
