131 W 55th St (btwn 6th & 7th Ave) New York , NY 10019 United States
Coat check available for a small fee. Resfreshments and snacks available for purchase before and during intermission. Great plays and musicals and comfortable.seats .
Arrive early if you are seated in the balcony . Long walk upstairs and if you are in the middle its a hike past lots of people.
Great sound for music performances . If the showtime is listed as 8pm, it means the show starts at 8pm. Get there early if you're seated in the balcony .
Really nice intimate theater . Can feel a bit crowded , particularly toward the back. If you get the chance to sit up close, take it.
alvin ailey 's revelations should be mandatory in december for everyone who lives in NY. <$30 for a ticket on a weekday and saw 4 original choreographed pieces from the 60s!
A beautiful space, but like many old theaters , it's not as handicap accessible as it could be. And mid to rear balcony is definitely an obstructed view , so keep that in mind.
Beautiful giant theater with cool architecture features and great to watch dance .
Very nice and accessible theatre . Although the fact that they make you purchase a cup to put any drink you buy in is lame
Former masonic hall. Now a theatre and dance complex.
Nice theatre with comfortable seats . Saw Alvin Ailey-no bad seats in the house!
Always a great place to see the great sites and galleries , culture, diversity! ♡♡♡
Nice theatre space for larger productions up toward Carnegie Hall. Decent leg room... Unless you are well over six feet tall.
Love going for aliey dance performances ????????seating is good wherever you sit
Fantastic theater space. Check out their “Encores ” series!!
Love it! One of the oldest places in the City where you watch dance .
Balcony affords nice view of Near East architecture , if not the stage.
Whether I catch a show solo or with my company I always enjoy it here!
Beautiful venue! Every seat has a unique view , loved the show
This place is just getting worse and management is apathetic or missing the mark. Staff is mindless and rules supersede crowd management and comfort. We were told re entry was ok then gave us trouble.
my mezzanine seats were good... but the balcony seats are also very decent... especially if you sit near the front of course.
Gorgeously refurbished. Balcony sight line is very steep so not recommended for something you really want to see.
Going there for alvin ailey dance performance each yr is fanrastic theater is nice consession stand is pricey as expected
Great restaurant s and in the area!!!!
Beautiful! Wonderful theater in a great location.
Don't use your phone during the show - the ushers will call you out!
Balcony seats are worth the $$, especially for ballet .
Great place to check out revivals of musicals .
We have a subscription to City Center's Encores , which is excellent if you can get seats.
Always great performances with affordable tickets.
Something you don't hear about large venues much... The balcony has TONS of leg room!
Big River is soooo good!
Good venue for various performances
Get a drink downstairs before your reach your seat. There are no bars upstairs.
Great for watching dance--saw Alvin Ailey there!
The seats are very spacious !
#COMEDY in a bag! #suttonfoster #CheyenneJackson #Michaelurie #MusicTheater #Broadway
The seats on the very outsides don't offer a full view
This was recently renovated. Beautiful
#encores keeps #Broadway alive in this enormous space.
I went to see Spirit Control, and it was pretty decent. The story was a bit convoluted, but the lighting design was lovely and the acting was pretty good.
Tha accessibility is fantastic!
Grand Tier has the best seating fir musicals .
Bring a friend. You'll be glad to not be there alone
Many nice dance programs for old and new fan
If you find yourself at the entrance at 130 56th St, you can walk through the adjacent building's lobby to reach 55th St. The 56th St entrance is not for ticketed guests.
Great selection of plays.
Sit mid orchestra for a wonderful view !!!!!
For the annual Fall for Dance Festival , go online for tickets an hour before they go on sale to get online. The online system works really well .
Great Venue!
They won't let you bring drinks into the theater , but won't tell you when you buy them two mins before showtime
