I took the Intro to Stand Up Comedy class with Chis Griggs. I thoroughly enjoyed the class. I learned how to structure jokes. I am a natural storyteller and very verbose, so learning to edit down was hard. However, Chris is skilled and masterful at what he does, and I was able to get it done with his guidance and support. Who I was at the start of the class and what I presented at the grad show, night and day. Lastly, I love how he avails himself to the students and helps us to build friendships outside of the class. Thank you to the PIT for creating a safe space for me to explore and thank you Chris for being amazing. image: taken by my friend Dionne at the grad show

I had a wonderful time enjoying Byun Jip-seop's performance with a large audience in a beautiful concert hall.

I've been here a couple times. It only holds 450 people so all the seats are good, really. I have to say the aisles are a little close together. It doesn't seem to have a sense of modern luxury. My knees were crushed against the seat in front of me. On my recent visit I forgot to wear my hearing aids, but like most places these days they have some sort of device. The device they have is slightly bizarre. Kind of like a stethoscope. Spring loaded into your ears and hanging under your chin. The sound was TERRIBLE. All I could think was that no one had considered the sound in a long time. I could only hear the piano. The sound cracked a popped and went in and out. Like a short circuit. It was unusable. At the Met opera they have 2 different devices. One actually plays thru your hearing aids, the other is just normal headphones. The staff was cheerful . The girl that helped me apologized for the bad sound and said others had complained. I didn't have a terrible time. But it could have been better.

Wonderful space with excellent children's show! Show up, kids! Was a great interactive, fun, and unique show! Highly recommend taking your young ones to see it. Tickets are only $10.

Last week Friday, I visited this theater to see Kpop boy group Ampers&one on their current tour. The show was incredible; the boys had so much energy and the crowd made the show all the more exciting. My only gripe was the long wait and all of the standing around. I arrived around 12 p.m. and there was a long line of people that still haven't gotten checked in. By the time it was my turn to get checked in with my number, it was almost time for the fansign event to start at 4. So, I had to wait until afterwards to get merch. It didn't help that it started raining. A staff member that works for the theater explained that the tour staff were not being communicative so there was a lot of confusion. The tour company, LeoPresents, needs better organization and more staff to help them out. I am not faulting the staff at the theater, but something seriously needs to be done with how poorly managed these Leo tours are.

Sleeping Beauty in lights was great and the theatre is fine but there were kids screaming and running up and down the aisles all performance which was quite distracting. It's open seating with ticket purchase of section. Good area.

I came to see Satre and Simone, and it was great! I hadn't been to this theater before, but I am very glad that my girlfriend found it and got us tickets. Everyone there was very kind and professional. Plus the actors were great! Will definitely have to come back and see another show sooner than later!

Went last night w my sisters & our girls to see the beautiful Freestyle: A Love Story. We had an amazing time along w a bunch of other beautiful, grown minded folks..It was a really great time Looking forward to more events

What a wonderful experience! The pasta was delicious, the sticky mango rice was absolutely amazing, and the live jazz music created the perfect atmosphere for the evening. The combination of great food, relaxing music, and a warm ambiance made this a memorable visit. Everything felt well thought out, and it was the kind of place where you can truly enjoy your meal and unwind. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great dining experience. I'll be coming back again!

Hadn't been to this den of dancing and liberation in YEARS but went back last weekend for what was supposed to be a The Blessed Madonna dj party. The Blessed Madonna had to cancel last minute but I was still down to check out the vibes and scene to see how much or little had changed since the last time I went to the club. Glad to say that not much that I can see has changed as far as HOY being the most inclusive, fun, free, lit up dance-floors in the city. There was a security guard that approached us as my friends and I were leaving and I guess she spotted me in my wheelchair and wanted to help show us to a different dance floor around the corner out back. Wherever that was reminded me of the magic of House of Yes because it was a totally different dj and vibe. All in all, the club is still alive.

Absolutely awesome venue! A great place to hear music and a fab spot to play a show. The on-stage sound was killer; we were able to play at a comfortable volume hear each other clearly, which allows us to enjoy the set and just make some music. Backline is thorough and as advertised (rare these days) and the staff, from sound to FOH are friendly and helpful. There's a great greenroom upstairs for performers as well.

West Village, Manhattan · 67 reviews

Great small venue for intimate performances. It's what you imagine when you want to go see an off Broadway play. The seats are comfortable and dive in a stadium seating style. The only negative is that the bathroom is on the rear left of the stage. This means is impossible to go without interfering with the flow of the post. Luckily the play I saw was more casually telling stories so the interruptions were made into part of the play, but I can see it being a problem if a play is more traditional.

Chelsea, Manhattan · 66 reviews

The play The Audit & The American Dream were performed. I didn't stay for the 2nd play The American Dream, but The Audit was AMAZING. It was brilliantly written and performed. I've never seen nor read a more perfect 2 person show that fluidly wove the stories is adequately discussed and engaged the audience with. If you want to see a performance done right, this is a must see. I met the writer and composer and their presence is electric. I could have talked with them for hours about the play and their perspective. It allows the viewer to connect with the subjects at your exact awareness and understand the plight of the character. Bravo to Urban Stages and to the company that worked on The Audit. I can safely assume the American Dream broke legs too.

I was there today to attend a show. I was greeted by a nasty lady with no manners, worst communication skills. She chased away a lot of people and was very rude and disrespectful to a gentleman from that building management and a young lady. This was my first time there and surely my last. Mind you, I did not get to attend the show because she refused to escort me upstairs because I came five minutes after the scheduled showtime. I was inly there to show support

Fun time for all. If you are looking for a fun interactive night out, Murdered by the Mob fits the bill. From the moment you walk into the club to the time you leave, the actors never break character and involve you right from the beginning. We spent the whole night laughing with the actors, at the actors, at each other and at ourselves. All in all everyone had a fantastic time.

Nice small theater for performances of NYU students. Members of the NYU community can also get discounted tickets to their shows!

Tribeca, Manhattan · 627 reviews

Today I saw The Amazing Sex Life of Rabbits by Michael Shaw Fisher at SoHo Playhouse, and it turned out to be much smarter and more touching than the provocative title might suggest. The play uses absurd humor and bold visual metaphors to explore very human themes: relationships, intimacy, vulnerability, and the ways we try to understand each other. It's funny, a bit daring, and unexpectedly emotional at the same time. The actors perform with great energy and self-awareness, making even the strangest and most comedic moments land perfectly and genuinely funny. Beneath the humor, there are surprisingly sharp observations about modern love and human nature. It's one of those rare cases where experimental theater still feels accessible and alive. Bold, witty, and truly entertaining.

Tribeca, Manhattan · 53 reviews

It does not live up to the name, wow. You need to access it by going up four flights of stairs and you are on top of other neighbors here. Overall the space was very shabby and poor in terms of air quality and space. Would definitely recommend it be renamed to barely access theater as it is not ADA accessible whatsoever!

Zone 1 at elsewhere is a pretty small room with good sound. Enjoyed seeing my first show there.

Came by for a live dating show, Love Isn't Blind hosted by my comedian friend Alli Goldberg and was impressed by the space and staff. Littlefield was packed to the brim Saturday night and I can see why, The Love Isn't Blind team have figured out something unique about dating these days. Men need to talk less and let the women take the lead (sometimes, they're smarter). But back to Littlefield - they did a great job managing the large crowd as the bar stayed busy as well. The team had a spot ready for my wheelchair thank goodness which made the experience all the better.

Part of the Brooklyn academy of music family and otherwise known as the Harvey theater . My wife had been here before from Brooklyn she has experienced some fabulous places and this is one of them . Walking in here you are taking a tour to the past and what a sight ! While watching a new performance it contrasted with the rusted elegance of what once was . Our first stop was the Adam E. Max gathering space otherwise known as Bam Cafe we had beverages while we waited to enter this great theater. It's a non-profit and can be rented by community groups , commercial and non-profit groups.

This was the best couples night out experience I had in NYC. My boyfriend and I always wanted to see a burlesque show and this was the second time we've been to the cabaret show in New York. The food was delicious and we loved every aspect of the experience. Everyone was super friendly and I could not have asked for more. Highly recommend

Now THIS was the definition of a small, intimate comedy theater. The Vino was our landing spot to see Dylan Adler and his comedy set a few months ago and we had a great time. I didn't realize how small and intimate-feeling the theater would be but it works to really witness talent on stage without paying high prices. Seating was cozy and the stage crew did a great job amplifying the performance. The theater itself seemed a bit older than usual and could use some work, particularly the bathroom and perhaps offering some sort of drinks for sale. I know they advertised as BYOB but sometimes a guy forgets when they're getting off the train in Brooklyn and staring at their maps app to find the spot.

I couldn't have asked for a more enjoyable time than I had performing at BBPAC for their main stage show. I thoroughly enjoy the range of productions Matt continues to select. A valuable company to work for, no matter your level of experience.

Nederlander presents: Schmigadoon Bright, buoyant, and bursting with theatrical joy, Schmigadoon! delivers a high energy evening that never lets up. Packed with laughs from start to finish, the production leans fully into its musical comedy roots, creating an experience that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly playful. The cast is a major highlight. Alex Brightman brings his comedic precision and charisma, Sara Chase proves to be a scene-stealing delight, McKenzie Kurtz shines with vocal clarity and character charm, and Ana Gasteyer anchors the show with seasoned wit and presence. Each performance adds a distinct spark, elevating the already lively material. The choreography is sharp, polished, and perfectly in sync with the show's upbeat tone, adding momentum to every number. Meanwhile, the ensemble proves to be a powerhouse, fully committed, tightly coordinated, and essential to the production's infectious energy. Overall, Schmigadoon! is a thoroughly entertaining theatrical escape, funny, lighthearted, energetic, and filled with standout performances that keep the audience smiling throughout.

Tomi Jazz in NYC was such a cute date night spot. Just know before you go, they don't take reservations, and the place is small. I had seen reviews saying the average wait was around 1.5 hours, and that was pretty much exactly how long we waited. Honestly though, it was worth it. Once they led us downstairs and inside, it felt like we had stepped into this cozy little underground Tokyo jazz bar. The whole place had such a warm, intimate vibe, and the live music was actually so good. Very cozy, very date night, very much worth the wait. We ordered the omelet rice with demi-glace, cod roe spaghetti, and some sake. Everything fit the vibe perfectly, comforting, flavorful, and fun to share while listening to the music. Overall, Tomi Jazz is a super cute Japanese jazz bar and I'd definitely recommend it for a date night. Just be ready to wait, and keep in mind there's a 2-hour table limit. Live music times: Sunday to Thursday: 6:00pm to 8:30pm and 9:00pm to 11:30pm Friday and Saturday: 5:30pm to 9:00pm and 9:30pm to 1:00am

We recently attended the 2026 Radio Mercury Awards at Sony Hall, and it was an outstanding venue. The location is convenient, the space is beautiful, and the overall experience was first class from start to finish. What stood out most was the staff. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and professional, helping the event run smoothly. The stage, lighting, and production capabilities were impressive and created a great atmosphere for an awards show. If you're attending an event here or considering it as a venue, you're in good hands. Sony Hall strikes a great balance between elegance, technology, and hospitality. Highly recommended.

Such a gem! Love this theater, went the first time to see The Counter and it was such a great play, so well produced. The quality of the show was top notch. The staff there were so professional and accommodating (sometimes a difficult balance to hold). It was sincerely an incredible theatre experience. I will look to see whatever show they have here to come see.

Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan · 26 reviews

I have seen so many shows there, both put on by the theater company itself as well as outside production companies, and it's been amazing. There is such good theatre there! On Sundays they have a regular reading series that's free to the public as well as periodic 3-Day readings that are free. Once a year they have a Shakespeare festival (on the Bard's bday week) of scenes and sonnets that is wonderful. The space itself is great and handicap accessible.

Grungy Greenwich village hole in the wall joint with a good sound system, very friendly staff and reasonable drink policy and prices. Saw guitar phenom Stanley Jordan reimagining what Hendrix would be doing if still alive. Good show and historic venue.

A nice older theater good acoustics but the seats are on the smaller side. The biggest problem is the washrooms. They are in the basement and if the theater is sold out there can be a backup. On operation Mincemeat, I would say if you enjoy old musicals it may be for you but my wife and I walked out at intermission. Talented preformed but it just didn't click with us.

What a discovery for us, both as music lovers and healthy but fun foodies. Five Spot Jazz offers a great space for live music, especially jazz. The setting is very well designed, efficient yet elegant, and intimate with a great view of the stage. The cover charge for music is $20, next to nothing relative to the quality of music that is offered. The food is excellent, mostly Japanese inspired, with a great sense of flavors and variety. Really a gem in East Village. Highly recommended!

Grew up next to this place. Who can forget " The Vampire Lesbians of Sodom"! One of the longest running Off Broadway plays right behind The Fantastics. Hope Acting 101 goes well here! Great theater. Take care of it NYU.

Every time that I have the honor of being a judge of the Miss Panama USA ( wish is going on my fourth year), I am excited to know the legacy of the Kumble Theater has been to the Miss Panama USA organization, which year after year it has been a staple to Panamanian American community of New York. We look forward to attending the Miss Panama USA election. I had the pleasure of walking around observing the rooms available for the performers and they are decent, spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff has provided us with excellent service and support

Beautiful ambience. It's a gorgeous establishment and we got wonderful front row seats to the stage. The cocktails were delicious and quite strong, but the dining service is where the evening quickly went south. An hour and a half for an appetizer that never came out- a server came by twice to ask us about it, and each time I said it hadn't come out. A completely different server came a third time to ask about it, when I eventually told them to just forget about it. Tried to order something different only to be told (an hour and a half into our wait) that the kitchen had closed 30 minutes ago as food continued to be brought out to other tables. A lovely shoutout to The New Wonders, who were an incredible band tonight. The singer/trumpet & trombone player came up and complimented how the folks at my table and I were dressed. Eat at any of the other incredible restaurants in the city, then come to St. Mazie's for the jazz and the drinks and save yourself an evening of disappointing service.

Visited from out of town and wanted to visit a jazz supper club. Smoke did not disappoint! We ended up with late show tickets so we arrived early to have dinner. I am pescatarian and they had several options. I ended up with salmon which was delicious! They have a great selection of cocktails and wine as well. They offer outdoor seating and were showing the World Cup which was great. The space is sexy and the staff is very attentive and kind. The music venue is intimate and every seat is a great seat! We were seated next to the drummer which was quite the experience. The Emmet Cohen Trio was great! Overall it was a fabulous experience and I highly recommend visiting. I know I'll be back when I'm in town again!

The first time I went to Lips Drag Show was about 10 years ago for my sister's birthday, and I had so much fun. I recently went again, and it was as amazing as I remembered. The decor, vibe, and overall energy are still on point. They really put on a full show for you with great performances and music. You will be laughing, cheering, and dancing throughout the show. The food was good and had options like wings, shrimp, salmon with rice, and chicken with mashed potatoes. I recommend Lips for birthdays, bridal showers, or any special occasion. They'll even bring you on stage for photos and a cupcake to make a wish.

Went for Praise the Disco and it was a lovely vibe. The staff from the bouncers to the bartenders to coat check were all very very lovely. I was delighted to see Presidente beer which I have yet to see in a non Dominican bar/club in nyc or Brooklyn :) The interior decor is gorgeous with such lovely visuals and lighting, whoever set it up and designed it are some very talented people!! Lovely to be surrounded images of Black music legends among others my only critiques are that the setup of the location, while I understand may be to maximize how many people can fill the space, doesn't flow well to me. This is important to me in a club I go dancing in. When u enter it is through a wide staircase, a bar is immediately to your right alongside the wall and you're already on the dance-floor. The entrance is parallel to the stage and the hallway to coat check/bathroom. Across from the side of the main bar is the dj booth, then a staircase up alongside the stage , leading to the upstairs/second bar. The dancefloor got cramped , and because of all of the adjacencies there were always people coming in and going out from every direction. If you know what I mean. I found it difficult to dance truly comfortably and completely freely with it being so hot and packed. I opted to dance on the upper bar level, which was a nice relief from the crowding but the sound system for the dj doesn't reach so well up there. Overall such a lovely space and vibe though :)

Times Square, Manhattan · 2,202 reviews

PlayStation Theater is a great venue! I like that it's tiered so you can see the stage even if you're farther back in the crowd, and they also have TVs set up hanging from the ceiling so you can watch from the seats in the back as well. It was a perfect sized venue for the concert I went to. The drinks are a little pricey, but that's true anywhere you go to a show in my experience, so it didn't put me off the venue. They also sell fresh pizza by the outside bar. The restrooms were super clean as well.

My family and I went for the Peanuts' Christmas performance on December. The place is very small and cozy, it was a very entertaining and catchy play; what left me a negative experience was the staff in the theatre. They weren't courteous, the 2 gentlemen were inpatient and seemed to be confused about how to distribute the seats. It wasn't my first time there, I usually go with friends and our kids, but every time I go there's always a feeling of confusion among the staff.

Harlem, Manhattan · 143 reviews

Great sight lines and sound. Most importantly, generous seating that comfortably accommodated my 6'3", 250 lb frame... much better than major broadway theaters. Great staff too, most helpful for disabled patrons.
