Watched The Devil Wears Prada and the whole experience was just great. Staff was friendly and accommodating from start to finish. The food and drinks were a highlight too -- I had the pear infused ginger mule which I highly recommend: well balanced, not too sweet, just right. We also got sweet potato fries and chicken nachos for sharing. The nacho portion was generous -- we couldn't finish it. IPic already sets a high bar for the movie theater experience, but this location clears it. Looking forward to many more movies here. Also, there is a parking lot across the street. Prices are already low but you can validate the ticket for up to 4 hours in the lobby of the theater. Free parking is a treat these days, especially if you drive from Manhattan.

Small black box theater with modest sound board and lights. It does the job and provides a home to many small scale plays, performances, and single-person productions. I came here to see Waiting for Show and XY(T) but I've previously performed at Rivers of Honey, which is a queer women and trans people of color variety show. I love that WOW Cafe Theater's mission is to provide a space for lesbian artists to produce their work. Even more awesome is their acceptance of trans people in their mission statement - that they are open to also providing a home to trans people who identify as lesbian or queer, especially people of color. I don't know if they have a license or not, but it's pretty awesome that they serve cold beer right inside the theater.

I had the great pleasure to see a performance by the internationally-known American Ballet Theatre (ABT) as they opened their 2024 summer season at The Metropolitan Opera House. In years past, ABT came through Los Angeles but now went directly to Costa Mesa's Segerstrom Center For The Arts. With a storied history dating back to 1939, ABT has collaborated with the world's foremost choreographers, integrating tradition with modernity. The Company has showcased masterpieces created for their dancers by luminaries like George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins, Anthony Tudor, Agnes de Mille, Kenneth MacMillan, and Twyla Tharp, alongside pioneering works by contemporary visionaries such as Alexei Ratmansky, Christopher Wheeldon, and Wayne McGregor. In 2006, an act of Congress recognized them as America's National Ballet Company. Though located in New York City, ABT annually toured the United States - performing for 300,000 people annually - and is the only major cultural institution to do so. The Company has made more than 30 international tours to 45 countries. Now that you've had a brief history lesson, how was the evening's experience!? PURCHASE Tickets/Seats ($205.00 x2): For reference, ticket prices ranged from $50.00 - $250.00. Located in the Parterre Rear Level Section 21 Seats 7 & 8, these were in the 2nd level above the orchestra, the 2nd of three rows within the section, provided excellent sight lines that were just off stage right, and comfortable individual seats. Honestly, there weren't any bad areas in the house. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=M9NZEudqTDXq7bIoKrQSiQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw Ticket Service Fee ($2.50 x2): This was unimaginably low and greatly appreciated! THE PERFORMANCE This was the opening night of both American Ballet Theatre's (ABT) 2024 Summer Season and the performance of "Onegin", a three-acts two intermissions ballet with an estimated run time of 2 hour 20 minutes. The story's about "a young country girl, Tatiana, who is introduced to a worldly aristocrat by her sister's fiancé. Onegin instantly becomes Tatiana's heart's desire, though, in his eyes, she remains naive and uninteresting. Thus begins the tale that leads to a tragic duel, a royal marriage, and personal redemption. Based on the verse-novel Eugene Onegin by Alexander Pushkin, John Cranko's majestic and astounding ballet allows the strength and agency of our romantic heroine to shine through." This evening's performance featured Principal dancers Christine Shevchenko (Tatiana) and Cory Stearns (Onegin), and conductor Charles Barker. Everything was beautiful and captivating. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=mFz8jR9GUutvhsLGHpCYcQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw SERVICE None to speak of as it pertained directly to ABT. As for The Met, the online ticket purchase was seamless, the check-in line inside the venue went swiftly, there was no line when we bought our champagne, and security was chill. One cool thing to point out was a unique system of real-time translation called "Met Titles", which appeared on individual scenes mounted on the back of each row of seats for those members of the audience who wish to utilize them, but with minimum distraction for those those who do not; titles are provided to all performances in English, Spanish, and German, and are also provided in Italian or Italian-language operas. Everything was easy-peasy! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): We took a Lyft there ($49.00) and a bus back ($2.50 x2). Otherwise, located underneath Lincoln Center was the public 24-hours self-parking Lincoln Center "park and lock" Plaza Parking Garage, with varied rates ($28.00 - $63.00). Buses and subways were also cheaper and efficient options. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE In this case, The Met's capacity was 3,800 patrons with chandeliers throughout. There were several bar locations to get your drink on with short lines, special areas for members only and such, and the requisite souvenir shop. Plenty of natural lighting shone through the large tall glass windows and doors into the lobby, while the aforementioned eclectic ceiling chandeliers lit up the rest. I didn't notice any monitors nor any background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=BJ1FyjTluTgTWgcn9UElJA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE In general, it was a business affair with a suit, tie, and dress shoes. However, I jealously observed many men casually dressed in my favorable t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops - dammit! OVERALL I loved that I was able to see American Ballet Theatre perform in their own backyard - a quasi travel bucket list item. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $415.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tips). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 5.0 STARS

Went early and there was a line waiting to get it. Not crazy. The show actors came out to greet us. After the wait we got let in and assigned a color. Took a picture and then we waited in the lobby for the show to start. Bought some trinkets and other items. Got called to go to a door. The arena was cold, so bring a light sweater. Walked to our seats and the server introduced herself. She told us what to expect and when. The show and food started. The food was good, no memorable. Show was also entertaining. Server was efficient. Overall, a well managed location, good, clean and friendly service, fun show you end up cheering for your color. Make sure to tip your server well if you think they did a good job. Had fun and won't wait again for many years to go back.

Thankfully, once the knight tournament started, the entire atmosphere changed. The jousting matches, exploding lances, sword fights, and audience interaction made the second half incredibly entertaining. I thought the last hour alone was worth the ticket price. The food was definitely the weakest part of the experience. Since dinner is included, I wasn't expecting anything amazing, but it was still below average. Even the fountain soda had almost no carbonation, which was a little disappointing. One tip: arrive at least 30 minutes before the show starts. The earlier you're seated, the closer you'll be to the arena, and it's absolutely worth it. I'd happily come back for the performance, but not for the meal.

We purchased tickets online before coming, but we saw that there were a decent number of discounted tickets on TKTS on the day we went. The theater is small and felt very intimate, and we had seats in the 3rd row. They have an opportunity to get a photo inside a bubble for $20. It turned out ok; in the future I'd probably just upload a pic to chatGPT and ask to put us in a bubble. The guy who hosted the show holds a few guiness world records (largest bubble made and most people in a bubble) so he had some solid bubble master credentials. His uncle also provided some comedy. The last portion there was a really random laser show that a women did; it was high energy and lots of strobing lights (so be warned if you're sensitive to lights or loud music). The best part was the audience interaction and our family was able to go up and participate, which totally made my kids entire NYC trip (especially when they gave each of them a bubble toy afterwards as a thanks for participating). LOTS of bubble opportunities and you will get wet just from sheer bubble volume (hence the "gazillion"). A fun, memorable show for everyone!
