The Shed has great shows. Always. The show are well curated and the pieces are properly displayed. I recommend allocating more time than a standard gallery. Artwork there is always engaging and has an extra layer of philosophy that you may need to spend sometime reading , watching, listening... I’ve seen 4 shows so far and all are very memorable shows to me.

Enlightening exhibitions here that otherwise might not be seen in New York.

The structure is really interesting, if not a bit cavernous. Have a drink on the first level in the swanky lounge. Programming is really hit or miss, but that’s performance art, isn’t it? Membership has its privileges - consider signing up for the email list at least. There are free ticketed performances offered but you have to know to look out for them. Take the alpine elevator if you take the 7 train - that’s my extra little tip.

The new state of the art Performing Arts Center in New York City is now open.The Shed is an extraordinary place full of exemplary interior design, architecture and style. Loaded with technology. This place promises to bring cutting edge performances to life. Here you can see many different expositions that have been commissioned.The place is visually exciting and groundbreaking. Located right in the middle of the brand new Hudson Yards area.This is a must see in New York City.#hellohudsonyards#performance#arts

Amazing! A unique copper sculpture which doubles as a viewing platform and wonderful place to climb and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. The views over the Hudson River are spectacular, and the perspectives down to the center and up to the buildings above make some wonderful photos. its free but you have to give a ticket which are issued on the side and the tickets are for a certain time slot sometimes as long as an hour or two later. Thats not a problem if you just take a walk down The High Line Park and come back.

The Shed.A futuristic looking structure that apparently, or at least seemingly, rolls along some track as some sort of moving sun roof or something.Im not sure, Ive not been in it but just marveled at the design.Only in NYC will you fund unique, challenging, and daring designs.Im sorry I cant say the same thing for Los Angeles...

So thy god ahem.Its me deaf go NY Hudson st last on feb/ 2020. So what said its me said do my phone picture there build up bigger stairs people ignore serious that yours. So what. Oh l see regret there people see hide walk tht away. So are u said see there new bigger build up stairs like it. Tell u how build up stairs oh l see there upgurad he told must pay hell bigger build stairs tht. Oh my god ahem.

What an extraordinary performance venue.And if half of the performances are as good as “A Quiet Evening of Dance”, then this place is going to be incredible.Aside from all the modern and expected amenities of a hall, and the beautiful art that surrounds it, and the exceptional staff, there’s one more thing that sets this place apart—you can bring your drinks in to the show!Enjoy

This place is absolutely beautiful. A great addition to Hudson yards on the West side. Make sure you buy your tickets online ahead of time (they are free but you need to just RSVP tickets to walk around inside). The sunset is on the west side too, so you can get some great photos of the sunset if you go at the right time.

Loved the performance space and this was my first visit after the opening. Watched dragon spring phoenix rise. The hostess was very friendly and actually assisted in selecting good seats. Worth a visit to see this new architecturul marvel in New York

The Shed is a newly opened (April 5, 2019)Gallery for contemporary art. The building, along with its location along the high line is spectacular. The exhibition rooms are spaceous and ideal for showcasing artworks of many categories. The Shed specializes in comissioning work from contemporary artists. So a visit here will also bring you up to date to some of whats going on. I was lucky to see the huge Agnes Denes exhibition, featuring both older work and two commisioned installations. Inspiring!

Various artistic and theatrical performances occur in this building. It is also called the Bloomberg building and is located at 535 West 30th Street in New York City. Its less than a year old and is part of the Hudson Yard Development.

Free art installations/exhibits worth checking out. Requirement is to get tickets, but no charge. Head up the escalators to view various art spaces on different floors. Some artwork is incredible others are too contrived but for the most part its a quick stop to see the interior of the building, as well.

Beautiful place both inside and outside! I was attending Dragon Spring Phoenix Rise musical and it was really good. The theatre is not very big and the stage is rather small but well-equipped. There were fire and water effects on the scene, actors were coming up and down from the ceiling on the straps. Sitting so close, on the other hand, has its advantage of being able to see actors’ faces and emotions.There is also a bar-restaurant at the very lower level. Didn’t not visit it and cannot say if it is good but looks very cosy.

Beautiful location. I got lost twice lol. I was here on a gig with On The Move Entertainment as a Vocalist. The ambiance of the gala was beautiful, but the location itself has amazing architecture. Its a great place for photoshoots.

The Shed was awesome! The Open Call exhibits were great pieces of art with meaningful messaging behind them. They also have a great book selection in their store right next to the bar where you can grab a drink and meal. The area outside of The Shed is great as well with The Vessel right in your view. The Hudson Yards shopping mall is right behind it and they have all the great stores such as Zara, Neiman Marcus, Sephora, etc. as well as places to catch a meal.

Awesome place in the hudson yard area. Truly a new landmark in NY

This place should not be allowed to hold performances during the virus. That is irresponsible.

My favorite art center ever.

This is a really nice theater. Me and my husband stumbled on this place and ended up seeing a really nice play here. It also has several art installations you can look at before or after the show. Just another cool place to visit in NYC.

Such a cool and beautiful new place. It gets very packed but if you want to walk up The Vessel, you need tickets (theyre free and timed) so thats not bad because not many people are on it at a time. So many places to eat, the mall is very nice and beautiful and theres an access to the Highline Park.

The Shed is a nice venue with quite a bit of potential. Im not sure of the current state of it in terms of a final vision, but its got lots of open space, good for any variety of shows, installations, exhibits, etc.. I didnt spend too much time here - just an hour or so for the Reich Richter Part exhibit, but I thought it was really nicely done. The ticket cost wasnt crazy and it was the perfect setting for both the music and the artwork.Although Im a little sad I didnt get to see Bjork here, Id be happy to come back whenever something fun pops in.

Amazing visual art! Definitely worth the time!

What an amazing space with such lovely staff. I came here with my job and they even took the time to customize the menus! Such a quaint lower level. Perfect for grabbing a snack and a drink after a long day of shopping at the nearby stores. Also - they probably the cleanest public restroom in history!

Big train wheels that move it.

Its definitely a worthy addition to New York Citys attractions. You can reserve the time online and visit for free. They have some charge once the daily free quota is filled (prob by 6/7 pm).The views from the top are spectacular and the modern architecture is very unique and appealing. You can see the Hudson river, New Jersey, Trains arriving in the Hudson Yard, and more. There is an upscale mall next to it which would soon have an observatory. Visit the adjoining Historical HighLine park which is a one of its kind elevated botanical garden.

This trendy museum is the perfect place to spend a few hours in the Big Apple. The exhibits are well kept, engaging, and thought provoking. Staff is helpful and considerate.

My husband and I went for a walk on the highline ands experienced these beautiful pieces of art along the way. It was a great time, great walk and great communication.

Experiencing the action of a fabric being woven or coming to being visually and symphonically.

Went to a open house event it was engaging

Attended a private holiday event at the top floor at the Tisch skylight space. It was a beautiful venue with an amazing view of The Vessel.Ive also watched a horrible Kung-Fu musical at The Shed back in July 2019. The musical was one of the worst pieces of theater Ive seen in NYC but again the venue was great, acoustics are good and it is a huge space with many floors/stages and spaces for events.

Never been inside yet, just walked around. The outdoor space is beautiful.

OLDISH MONEY, NYC STYLE,is behind this dazzling arts complex in dark interior colors that is part of the generally meh-meh Hudson Yards megaproject on mid-Manhattan’s west side, to judge from the brag listings on The Shed’s ground floor. (Look up for details near the welcome book stall.) Many of the non-government benefactors are 20th-century wealthy, with money made over decades in media, finance, tobacco and lodging; it’s not Astor-era cash. That said, The Shed has a rumpled roof very unlike NYC’s older arts institutions and a silhouette nearly feline, which is playfully apt for an enterprise dedicated to disruptive art and performances. The theatres and exhibitions venues are stacked along West Thirtieth Street and are reached by escalators smartly positioned for cityscape views. (Please see video.) There is also a handsome bar and cafe, most directly reached from Thirtieth Street, rather than the Hudson Yards plaza.LOO REVIEW: Sparkling men’s rooms that are tiled and lit subtlety and with many stalls on a theater level, ready for those intermission crowds.

This is a magnificent venue. Amazing sound, great lightning. The only area that needs to be fixed is access to seats, it remains cumbersome and slow.

It looks good new some more finiso touch which they are doing

What an amazing piece of architecture! Brilliant in design and located just off the skyline so is absolutely worth the work. Check out the wheels the Shed is on...does it move?

The Maze at the Shed in the Hudson Yards was a performance that tells the history of the African American experience in America without uttering a word. The movements of the performers were crisp, evocative, and built a raw energy that was sustained by the brilliant structure of the show. Not to mention the fact that they had a live band, which added another layer of experience to the performance, and then you have the significance of the interplay between light and shadow to further broaden the visual experience. If you dont see The Maze then youre robbing yourself of one lifes cultural treats.

4star worthy tourist attraction, no handicapped access to the Beehive adjacent, the shed is an art gallery but the main draw is the stairway structure next to it from which to take pictures. Very active in the evening, the nearby high-line attraction draws a crowd but is for walkers.

Must seen. Amazing Denes exhibition was amazing

Beautiful addition to Nycs skyline! Amazing architecture!!

Sound, space and design is top notch for a multitude of performance art and gallery displays.

Free art exhibitions worth going. beautiful!

Very nice place for walking around and enjoying viev . A lot of boutiques there. But you have to buy tickets before going there on site . Vessel is not free.

Iconical but nothing more. Long queue to enter and go up to the top, from which most of the view is occluded by the skyscrapes nearby. A quick visit anf s single picture from ground floor are enough for this landmatk.

Really cool and constructed place!

Wonderfully crafted cocktails inside open art space at the Hudson Yards. The manager and other leadership staff were on hand to greet me and my guess. A server spent a great deal of time explaining their curated beer selection. I opted for the G & tea which was an EXCELLENT beverage! The turkey sandwich on Hawaiian sweet bread was messy but delicious. Heading back there again soon.

State of the art architecture, an educated and helpful and very pleasant team of guides/guards make for a very warm visit (unlike some of the mega-watt museums in NYC where the crews can be as friendly as a prison riot response team) and the last show I saw there (Agnes Denes) was STUNNING. I rarely use that word.

I went to The Shed for Soundtrack of America and it was amazing. I loved the set up of the venue. Its extremely spacious and the acoustics were crystal clear. I was surprised by how high the ceiling was. What a beautiful space. I cant wait to come back for many more performances!!

Ugly place too cold but amazing concert and director

I have been visiting New York since much earlier and this was a new addition so that itself makes it worth while because after some time one gets bored of going to all the older places like Rockefeller Centre, Times Square etc. This is definitely one new place for just hanging out. The place is pleasing to the sight and the modern architecture is aesthetically pleasing. If one is staying in New York for more than a week or so then definitely worth a visit. Best is to combine the visit with a trip to the highline park if one has the time and energy.

A big performing art venue where is not well utilized.

My very first time in this cinema was at the Premiere of film: 6 Underground, I like it, the theater is huge, the staff friendly and professional

Opening programme was fantastic. Norma Jeane Baker of Troy was phenomenonal!

Absolutely LOVE this venue! The place is actually very spacious with interesting and experimental shows starring some pretty important people. We saw a Renee Fleming and Ben Whishaw play, and it was really cool. The stages are very modern and well equipped. They do late seating until ~15 minutes into the show.

Say what you will about Hudson Yards *proper* (and, yes, Ive said a lot, some of it not repeatable here), The Shed is quite another thing...which is a combination thats not altogether unique in the modern world). Forget the oversized pine cone a short distance away: this is *much* more worthy of your time.

Nice place to spend time. Art exhibitions, restaurant, great views!

Strange building- but very cool!

Big but cozy. No bad seats. Not over priced like most of New York Citys performance spaces. Found it a bit confusing once inside the space. It is hard to know where you are at and where you need to go. There are people helping, but, it is easy to get turned around

Amazing artists! I was so pleasantly surprised here and I will definitely being going back for a second look at the exhibitions.

Amazing new futuristic venue at the Hudson Yards. Relatively intimate main venue (the McCourt) has nicely banked seats for good views. Friendly efficient staff. Cedrics in the lobby is a fun no-tipping bar/eatery - get there early, gets crowded near showtime. Tips - hail your ride from the rear plaza entrance. Going to a music show with overhead video? - take a cap with a good visor to give you the option of blocking the screen. The stunning musical rendition of the Requiem I experienced last night was wrecked by the appallingly inept, overbearing and irrelevant accompanying video.

Its a nice place to tour around besides the mall that has lots of stores i never heard of.

Made it all the way to the top without a dizzy spell. Fantastic view of NJ. A must see before they build over the rest of the yard with more high risers. The most memorable part for me was when I was volunteering to take pictures of the young couples and families that rarely are in the same image anywhere they go.

Too crowded, couldnt get to the food stations, valet parking is a disaster . Stay away. To the owner of the Shed, we were there Saturday night, while it is a trendy arts center it is not a good location to hold fundraising events. Bottom line you need to get the act together...

Great place to see up and coming performers. You can tell that they use this free platform to test out their materials. Another best kept secret in NYC ️

I thought I was not going to make it to the top but I surprised myself. It was beautiful but I took plenty of pictures because I will not go up there again.

It was fun to go to a play here, was able to get last minute tickets, afterward sitting at a communal table in the bar downstairs one of the actors from the play sat down right beside. He (Ben Whishaw) is one of my favourite actors so that was very exciting for me. However, even if it is architecturally interesting (free space à la Cedric Price Fun Palace), the project is rather disappointing given the budget and the stakes for a major new cultural centre for New York City. Doesnt help things much that you have to walk past horrible window displays in Hudson Yards. And overall just grim that the newest addition to the pantheon of NYC cultural institutions is excreted out of a condo tower.

The building is pretty spectacular, but this place doesn’t seem well run. I stood for a few minutes just inside the entrance waiting for some friends to arrive, and I noticed that they were having everyone who entered throw the food and liquids they had from other places in the garbage. And I mean they searched peoples bags and were taking out the food and water. Not only did it feel like they were intimidating their visitors, but it felt super unethical to me to have people throw away food and water. When I asked whether they thought this was really the right thing to do, the guy just smirked at me like I was something he scraped off his shoe. The crazy thing is, once the people at the door have searched your bag and taken your water, the first thing you see inside is a drinks stand.Once inside, instead of being able to go to your seat, as you would in a normal theater 10 mins before the show, they have everyone wait in the lobby. But instead of organizing a rational line, they let things run themselves. Meanwhile, ever the watchful gaze of a crazy number of security guards everywhere, whose sole purpose seems to be to try to be as intimidating as possible.Isn’t this a cultural venue?? It felt like the headquarters of an evil corporation to me. Nothing cultural about it.

The mixed media performance in two rooms of outstanding works by Gerhard Richter with beautiful choral music performed my youngish singers walking through the crowd for Estonian composer, Part, followed by full orchestral performance of a piece by Steve Reich was transcendental.After the performance it was a delight to walk up the Trellis in a driving rain which kept the fair weather inclined, away!

The Showtime performers were so wonderful!

It was an open house..fairly busy but New York has other great museums. In comparison this one was ok. I didnt see all the exhibits. I enjoyed the pyramids the most. It may just be my own personal preference. It didnt cost much to get in- so it was worth the price.

Newest place in city. Exciting to see. Can save $10 fee by booking 2 weeks before. Worth the money

Great place to visit

Saw Bjork perform here the other week. Performance was amazing. The sound, lighting, and stage design were top notch.I had to leave a 3 star review however over the seating. The seats are hard plastic. Not the worst but fairly uncomfortable. It was very hard to see over the people sitting in the rows in front of me and I’m a tall guy. Ticket prices were not cheap. I was expecting a bit better seat situation for that price.

I loved the show, Maze (great show!), but the venue itself is also fantastic! Waiting for your show to begin in the lobby area is comfortable and you can have seat and order a cocktail or snack. Theres a small book store in the lobby and the staff is friendly and professional.

The shed is an extraordinary new performance space - excellent sightlines from all seats and fantastic stage and sound systems - 5 stars. The performance I saw Dragon Spring Phoenix Rise there which was worse than amateur high school singing, dancing and individual performances. Sorry 1 star - dont waste your time.

It is a really beautiful place. I love the view, the people from all over the world and the nice places to buy and eat.

Interesting space and show. I love that its a new type of multimedia experience. It changes the possibilities of what art can be. My only complaint is that the seats need a back. Its hard on your back otherwise. Probably a difficult space for the elderly to enjoy.

Spacious, great for pics. Never been at a concert in the actual shed but I have taken some awesome pics there.

Just gearing up but so far, so much fun on multiple levels. Mezzanine bar with comfy couches, generous drinks. 2nd floor art gallery and a full theater with interesting blend of artistic talent.

The innovative building art makes big changes around the area. Many people should be attracted by the amazing art.

The Shed is very millennials generational but, fun and edgy for young adults. They have live performances in the theatre; there is also a very modern art gallery. A range of activities in performing arts and pop culture. In the lobby theres a bar area you can have drinks and I believe appetizers or a small meal. Outside, to the side of The Shed, is the new structure: The Vessel, great backdrop for pictures. Within the same area (HudsonYards) an upscale mall. Great place for tourists and NYC residents if you dont get out often.

Attended a private party here. Although what will eventually be housed in The Shed is still a bit of a mystery, the views are gorgeous and the space is vast. Saw a private dress rehearsal (actually, it was a technical lighting rehearsal), and the performance space is jaw dropping.

Action plaza outside.how many languages will you hear? Plenty. Nice bar/restaurant/lounge on lower level. We sat, no charge in stuffed chairs as the restaurant proper opens evening. So we sat and chatted and caught up on old times, drinking seltzer - yes, the bar was open. Then the event that day on the auditorium began…

The first night opening went well. It was a fun concert. I am legally blind, so I wasn’t sure how I could get around in the space. The staff was very helpful! A lady escorted me in an area it was too dark for me to move around, then they offered me a chair if I wanted one. This was a really enjoyable experience.

I signed up for membership at The Shed even before it opened as I was excited by their mission and vision. I have attended two performances.Unfortunately, I learned that Steven Ross, who was the money behind the shed is not only a Trump supporter but had a major fundraiser for him. Ross maintained that he accepts views on the Right and the Left and doesnt wish to take sides. I therefore am waiting for him to conduct a fundraiser or two for Democratic Candidates.Until that happens, I requested a return of my membership money which I had wished to send to the Democratic Candidate of my choice.Alas Membership funds would not be reinbursed!I wont be attending any performance there until Ross walks his talk and gives support to Democrats whose ideas he likes.What a shame.

ISSUE! The street food vendors by the 34th street - hudson yards station are overcharging customers as often as they can as they are tourist traps! Beware! Please dont get food from them!

Great experience

The experience there us amazing! I saw Dragon Rising. Excellent play. The light effects and stage performance was amazing!

Very interesting theater. We saw him excellent show dragon. I would highly recommend to everyone.

A new art centre in the hudson yard precinct.Box office, bookstore, bars and restrooms are all on the ground floor when you enter.Entry to the theatres and galleries are via the escalator. Lift access is also available. The building has many levels so if you are not sure what floor your event is on ask one of the staff and they can direct you. There are plenty of eating options near by.

Cant wait when The Shed opens, this seems promising. And Ill be there to write a detailed review with things to know!EDIT: The employees were nice during my first visit in The Shed on April 18, 2019. Coat check is complimentary, entering from Hudson Yards Public Square (my photo of the entrance is shown). The inside of The Shed is organized, though it does not appear to be completed.

Nice place. Huge, inspiring and comfortable spaces in this building.

Wonderful place to see a concert [I saw Björk] and the waiters at Cedrics on the lower level took special care of us. Also, everything inside and outside looks beautiful as well and everything has a nice feel to it. Service was very helpful all around as well.

New venue, matinee shows also serve only cocktails in the lobby (not coffee). Entering the performance was odd because the theater was almost completely dark. Also, the main entrance is up on the high line but the exit is down on the street.

I simply love The Shed, the newest art center in the city. We went to see an exhibition and the place is so great. It adds up to the nee Hudson Yards.

Will have time for this next time, no Doubt

A total place anyone should discover. Nee exciting different stop by now. Or later. Enjoy the view.NYC. The best

This is a disappointing place to see a performance. Just getting into the hall is a chore that requires you to line up in a overly long queue which snakes through a dark and chaotic lobby, just for a chance to ride an escalator up to the main level of the theater. This is a lengthy, unpleasant, and poorly managed procedure. It is unclear why The Shed seems to have so much more trouble seating patrons than any other venue in the city.Once you are in your seat things get no better. The seats are uncomfortable and resemble nothing so much as an airplane jump seat. Also, the upper tier of seats sits upon movable metal risers, meaning every footstep echoes loudly throughout the concert hall during the performance. A concert hall which has all the aesthetic charm of a mid-sized cities convention center.On the plus side, The Sheds exterior is architecturally interesting, and it is pretty close to the 7 train.

Great serviced. Friendly, fast and great bar food too!
