Loved the little bit of time I was able to spend here for a summer intensive 3 years ago! I would love to return and attend a performance here one day.

Experiencing Ailey was breathtaking. The dancers are absolutely phenomenal and the New York City Center is beautiful. This a true gem in the city and I am extremely happy I made the trip.

Im the Head director to the Federal Beuro of the Informative Investigations in North America. I was born in Garden City Muchigan on August 17 1980. My mom was born in JORDAN amman and my father was born in Jaffa Isreal. I was raised in Southern California

Amazing place, most vibrant city Ive ever visited.

This is one the premier locations for great performances in NEW YORK CITY. It is in midtown which is always busy. It is also near Central Park. I most always attend City Center to see dance concerts. The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater has a month long season here every year. It’s great to attend, meet friends, and have a great night at the theater. City Center is well maintained, clean, and a grand theater experience.

Perfect size for performance! Lovely and cozy. Sit on the first tire made me really focus on the show

A beautiful architectural treat! We saw Alvin Ailey’s performance. The theatre is spacious with plenty of leg room. There were no lineups in the bathrooms during intermission(s) unlike in most NYC Broadway and off-Broadway theatres.

Beautiful theater!! The sound was great, saw Mack and Mabel and loved it!!! Thank you for your Encore series. If I lived in New York, Id get season tickets.

Holy smokes dude my cut is insane, shout out to my barber dawg

The building is excellent. Theres not a bad seat. The Flamenco Festival with Sara Baras was excellent. The bathrooms are gender neutral which I really liked. Very clean facility. Excellent sound.

It a nice theater. Im there often to see The Alvin Ailey dance company.

A beautiful place to see a musical or a ballet...Ive had many a great experiences here.

People are good or more organised. I want to go there .But Im not konw that can I go there?

This building was donated to the city by mayor LaGuardia. 2010 celebrates its 75th year. The building is beautiful and well maintained. Seats are comfortable and have great views. Performances here are supported with excellent acoustics, staging, sets.

Great interior and sound systems. The height difference between rows is minimal (at least in the orchestra section) so take this into account when reserving seats if you are short. Instead of getting seats in the front, I chose seats in the middle row thinking they would give a better view of the whole stage. However the view was partially blocked by people seating in front rows because the floor was minimally sloped. The spacing between rows was also narrow and people seating next to me complained about that.

Great benefit show for Patrice O Neal with his friends, family, and fans. Even had a surprised visit from Louis CK who got a standing ovation. A+ comedy lineup sides one, but we all have different taste. Cant wait till next year.

Had never been to a dance show before and had no idea what to expect at all. We went for my mother in laws Christmas present and saw an Alvin Ailey show that was performed originally in the 1960s and it was really really good. I would go back and watch it again. Might even look for some if the shows in the area that I live to see them more often with the wife.

Not much going on right about now not a good time for visiting

I just saw Matthew Bournes SWAN LAKE here tonight. Aside from the ballet performance being wonderful, the theater is lovely and quite easy entering and exiting, despite the crowds.

This is a nice large theater that doesnt house a resident Broadway show. They did a fairly recent renovation and made the seats in the balcony comfortable with lots of leg room, but theyre just one long row with no aisles down the middle. In row A (the front row) there are 62 seats. Also, the balcony is REALLY high. It was mostly fine in the front row, but get back a few rows and youre way above the performers. The two attached photos are of the full balcony section and the view from my seat -- A 121.

I really like talking to her. I think we two really click.

I love City Center. Ive been coming here for literally 35 years! Its beautiful, both to look at and to see performances in. This one was swan lake.

Beautiful decor, roomy seats,good ventilation and more important, outstanding show.

New York City hosts infinite urban adventures: You can wander through Central Park, tour the exhibits at the Met, catch a Broadway show or peruse SoHos stylish boutiques. And at night, admire Manhattans glittering skyscrapers from the top of the Empire State Building or the rooftop bar of your trendy boutique hotel. Foodies will also appreciate the Big Apples endless restaurant options. If you want to sample a bit of everything, consider signing up for a food tour.

Went to see Alvin Ailey. Went last year to see Alvin Mitchell. Both great shows. The theater is easy to get to by transit. Elevators for elderly or handicap. Like any theater you need to sit in the middle section or your view from either wing side can be limited. Overall a great show and modern theater.

Wow Wow and Wow on everything associated with this venue. Thanks for a great experience over the weekend. I will return, and will highly recommend for others.

I am a 163 lb 58 guy. We sat in Row H in the side orchestra and I had an unubstructed view. The mens room line went fast, but the ladies room line was much longer. They did not have a real concession stand. Just a man with a small cart and bottled water, soda and some candy.

Hi my name is Kabiru I live in Africa I am looking for work in New York I am ready to do any job for you thank you my Gmail [email protected] my WhatsApp +229 63 28 78 71 Thank you for your help

Really enjoyed Alvin Aileys 60th Anniversary show from beginning to end. I even enjoyed my balcony seats. I had a good view and LEG ROOM. I didnt even need to move when people passed. My only regret was that they didnt do Revelations at the show I saw but what I saw was so good I didnt care especially ELLA, it was off the hook!

Seatings are very comfortable. The hall is not big but cozy, views are great from any seat.

Watched Lazarus and Revelations as part of the Alvin Ailey program. Spectacular! The City Center has a good view no matter where you sit. Seats are comfortable; restrooms/food/souvenier stands are all convenient.

Loved the show. I have great respect for the actors that can excel in this fast paced environment!

This theater is absolutely amazing. Ive been here for Alvin Alley and Swan Lake. The seats are wider than normal Broadway theaters so thats the best treat.

Recently attended the closing show of Evita. Amazing cast and crew. A beautiful theater with caring staff that make you feel welcome. Cant wait for my next trip to N.Y so I can have the opportunity to attend another production.

Nice theater, we where in the smaller of the two. Its very intermediate with decent views to the stage from most seats. The seats are a little uncomfortable compared to come other theaters but thats just the way it goes in the smaller sized places.The staff are great here from the bar man to the ushers everyone was so friendly and helpful. The theater was not that full so they where moving people around to make sure everyone had the best view.Pricing for food and drinks is as expected, inflated but not outlandish.The strange thing here is you cant take snacks into the theater, only drinks so eat quick or just dont even bother.I will definitely be happy coming back here to watch shows.

Efficiently organised theatre venue with an excellent progressive programme.

Dont shy away from mezzanine seats. The view was great, although the legroom was wanting. Its a beautiful venue.

Stage 2 is terrific. It feels like watching a play in your living room. Very intimate feel. Only minus is it is a bit challenging for folks with mobility issues to access.

Alvin Ailey dancers were phenomenal its so nice to sit in that theater not a bad seat in the house its wonderful experience to be able to sit next to your daughter and have a great night

I learned that this was the place New Yorkers went way back when, before Lincoln Center was built! It is a beautiful theater. The ceiling itself is a work of art. They have terrific shows that are a little bit away from the craziness of times square

Saw Bat Out of Hell: The Musical at this theater. Its big enough but has a very intimate feel. From what I observed there probably isnt a bad seat in the house. Staff was friendly and accommodating. They just need to mark the bathrooms a little better.

It was well organized. Seating was good. The show was good. The staff were resourceful and kind.

New York is a state in the northeastern U.S., known for New York City and towering Niagara Falls. NYC’s island of Manhattan is home to the Empire State Building, Times Square and Central Park. The Brooklyn Bridge connects Manhattan with the borough of Brooklyn. The iconic Statue of Liberty stands in New York Harbor. To the east, Long Island has beaches, the Montauk Lighthouse, the ritzy Hamptons and Fire Island.

Saw Alvin Ailey Dance Company there. Great venue. Great seats.Comfortable. Good acoustics. Pit for orchestra.

Love seeing shows there. Saw Swan Lake there tonight and it was incredible.

Beautiful theater! Always have kind people to help you find your seat

Went to see Alvin Alley dance company️️️️

Wonderful venue for the preforming arts. Always a special experience whether its a concert, musical theatre or dance performance. Innovative programming at its best.

We went to see Swan Lake. Beautiful venue, great performance. Cant wait to come back for more!

Gorgeous, large venue with three different theaters. Pay attention to your ticket so you know which theater you need to be in, as this will affect the entrance location and amount of time for security. Helpful staff and high quality productions.

The play was great. Ushers very accomodating. Theater very comfortable and appealing. Staging very well done.

Elevator to balcony! Nice to not walk all those stairs. Beautiful decor. Production we saw was fabulous but sadly the acoustics up in the cheap seats made it tough to hear all the lyrics.

New York City Center is a beautiful theater. The balcony is very steep so you have an unobstructed view of the stage regardless of the height of the people seated in front of you. The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of legroom. I would definitely see another show here.

Absolutely beautiful theater. Went there to see the Bat Out Of Hell Musical. The design of the theater is just magnificent. Sound carries great from any point of the theater

A New York City Cultural gem. Catch an Encores production or off center if you can. Fall For Dance is also amazing. At City Center you really can’t go wrong. Also look into the history of the building it is fascinating.

This theater is gorgeous! Its also a really perfect size that allows for intimate-feeling closeness to the stage while being able to host famous names and shows.Ive seen several shows here and havent had a bad seat yet. I love this place.The variety of shows provides something for almost everyone and the schedules make it easy to find showtimes that work for me and my family/friends.The location is convenient and, because its not in the theater district, there isnt a constant mob on the sidewalk.

One of NYCs larger theaters. Beautifully restored facility. A great variety of shows through the year. While most known for the main stage, there are also two small theaters in the building with their own schedule of plays. Everything done is quality. In the main theater, the upper balcony is far from the action.

Amazing venue. Good view from ALL seats, including the cheap ones at the top. Sound is great too. Bar is expensive, though.

Beautiful venue right in the midtown.

Nice space with good acoustics, pretty good wheelchair accessibility, and better legroom than many venues.

Stage II is small and a perfect spot for an off-broadway production

Amazing venue. Very well organized, clean. Friendly staff.. great acoustics.

Beautiful historic venue. Worth looking up the history of the Moorish architecture before you come here to fully appreciate the details.

Beautiful historic theater whose scale seems similar to Radio City theater (its large so keep in mind). Often has unique shows from theater to dance.

I went to see multiple Alvin Ailey shows and they were magnificent. Student rush tickets at the box office are $15 for great seating. Also make sure to how many seats are available for that day depending if its a big production. This is how they detail where theyll seat you. Other than that it a great place to visit and its beautiful inside. A lot of history behind it.

Easy to get in and out. Balcony is actually a third level and to high and very steep. The website doesnt illustrate this well at all. The grand tier is what you would consider the balcony. Your view is blocked in the front row by the rail.

I saw Mathew Bournes Swan Lake.. absolutely spectacular ballet in a beautiful theater.

In awe of the dance skills and stamina! Energizing at the end of a stressful week.

Staffers were very courteous. The venue was aesthetically pleasing. The Production was amazing.

Great theater, seating great, plenty of room.

What a lovely theater, gorgeous and not a bad seat to be seen. Loved my show and the place looks amazing. 75 years young !!Not to mention larger rows and seats. Very enjoyable night !!!

Had a great time watching Alvin Ailey performance here. Helpful and respectful staff.

Amazing! We were traveling from Boston and stumbled upon this spot late at night, the lady took us in even though it was near closing hour. We ordered to go. The quantity on those trays were insane. This place rocks and definitely worth taking time to give it a good review.

A great place.....

I thoroughly enjoyed the space and the Ailey performances.

Beautiful place. Small and cozy. Has a lot of stairs and elevators. Took one star off for Only 2 baristas. Huge lines to get a drink or snack, impossible to make during intermission

Beautiful theater. Well laid out. Parking garage with valet parking right across the street. Deli nearby to eat lunch. Great place

Beautiful theater with comfortable seats and a great show!

Was on swan lake . Was amazing. The place is very very nice

Holiday crowd was unbelievable. Could not move around Saks 5th Ave. Because they had the theme from FROZEN playing in lights on the building. It was great .

Easy to get to. Good prices.

A good newyorkal cultural landscape thats a must to visit once in a while

Beautiful theater, convenient to subway. Attended performance of Matthew Bournes Swan Lake.

A great place to see live theater especially anything from Encores.

Beautiful spacious theatre, immaculately maintainedStaff friendly, attentive and efficientToilets spotlessly clean, and they welcome guests to use whichever toilet that they best identify withSeats spacious and comfortable with great views of the stageSound and lighting system excellentStage door comes out on the next street along fro the writers room

This is where we go to see Alvin Ailey every year during the Holiday season. No disappointment at all.

Nice theater and Bat Out of Hell the Musical was phenomenal!!!

Beautiful Middle Eastern/Moorish Spanish decorations. We saw Sara Baras Shadows flamenco show, so the decor matched the show nicely. Food was also good (they had Spanish tapas dishes available). Show was great. At the end we were admonished by a staff member for not vacating the theater quick enough, which was the only dampener on an otherwise nice night out.

My 3rd visit and its always a wonderful experience seeing Alvin Ailey here. One can see the stage at any angle from any seating in the Center. It has splendid decor, comfortable seating, clean bathrooms and nice souvenirs. Most importantly, the NYC Center staff is phenomenal - very pleasant and accommodating. My only unfavorable comment is that the one elevator that travels to the different levels is slow so be prepared to wait a couple of minutes or so during intermissions. I highly recommend you visit New York City Center to experience this NYC treasure.

Went to see Alvin ailys show awesome. Nice ushers and staff.

Tremendous performance by Alvin Ailey dancers! Didnt even mind the tight seating.

Seats have adequate legroom, excellent acoustics, great staff a very good venue.

This review is for the theatre, not the show. Nice building, seating is well designed with good views from everywhere.. Bar menu indicated 7.59 beer price, but when I got there they charged 13usd for drinking inside, that price duplication was not mentioned in the menu. That is the most expensive beer I ever paid and I have had world class beers in world class places. The beer was far from the best or the biggest I had. Call it misleading information or plain theft. I already paid the show ticket but they think they still have to rip you off at the bar. That is enough to earn and deserve 1 star. Besides of that, the seat files are very close to each other which make very dificult and uncomfortable to leave your seat unless everybody else left theirs. This means, no restroom at will but only in the breaks.

Beautiful theater. Very intimate. Clean bathroom.

Loved the center. And loved Swan Lake

Love the theatres interior architecture ! watched a dance performance here.

Beautiful old theater. Good stage viewing from most seats.

Absolutely beautiful center and great show. Easy to navigate and clean bathrooms! thank You!

Beautiful theater. We were at a masters degree graduation, not a play or dance. I would think a play or dance would be fantastic as line of sight was very good
