I love this theater. They have very affordable events here. I've been here a few times and it's always been a great experience. It very nice inside. I like how the seats are placed at levels. It's very roomy and the comfortable. They don't offer any food, and I don't blame them because you're never really there that long. I say check out the website to see what they got going on. It's always a fun time. Thumbs up and Happy Yelping! read more

My son had a cello recital here after months of cello lessons under the harmony program. This location is easy to get to and a very nice size. The restrooms were clean and the people here were nice and helpful. Be careful walking down the steps, i almost fell but it is because i am clumsy. I've also come to several concerts here like the salsa one and freestyle. Great local location for concerts and shows read more

I recently attended a show while recovering from surgery and using a crutch, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. Johanna and Kevin were incredibly kind, making sure I had everything I needed at my accessible seat. One of the things I love about this theater is that there's no bad seat, no matter where you are, you get a great view and sound. Another big plus is how well they run their shows. They start on time, and everything is very organized. The venue also has amazing partners and sponsors, so even the snacks and drinks are a nice touch to the experience. Whenever an artist I love is performing here, I don't think twice about going. The combination of great acoustics, friendly staff, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it one of my favorite places to enjoy live music. read more

The show was a hit! The place was fully sold out and the vibe was outstanding. We enjoyed drinks and free Goya treats. The venue is outstanding with great service and really well organized to handle the crowds. Seating is comfortable and the view is great from wherever you are seated. Lehman College is a great place for educational excellence in the Bronx and giving people from the city a place to elevate their place in our society. I graduated from there many years ago and I teach there now, my alma mater continues to make me proud. read more

It was my first time going to the Lehman Center for performing arts theater. I had a wonderful time at the show. The ambience was nice. The performers was excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing my next show. read more

The venue was okay, I had fun, but no security onsite while walking to car a few blocks. I didn't feel safe at all, the lot where my cousin had her car, they too had no security. I won't be going back. read more

Some friends and I came here on a Friday night for a tribute to hip hop's 50th anniversary. This was my first time at this venue and I really enjoyed the entire experience. Everything was organized and clean including the bathrooms. We had the cheap seats all the way in the balcony but we were still able to see everyone good on the stage. The seats were comfortable and I like that you didn't feel smothered sitting to the person right next to you. The acoustics were good and I truly enjoyed the show. There was sufficient street parking and I also saw a parking lot where you could park for $10. I would definitely check out another show at this venue. read more

I was super bedazzled by the Drum Tao Performance. We came to the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts with no expectations and were definitely impressed by the performance and would definitely watch another one of their show. The performance consists of combine music and dance that reflects Japanese tradition, and also incorporates Korean, Maori, and Indonesian influences. read more

They need to upgrade the Ladies Restroom on the main floor. It is outdated and doesn't look like it is cleaned on a regular basis. Free parking on a weekend night if you arrive early for off-street parking. Otherwise, the parking lot is closed on Saturdays and Sundays. read more

I am done with Lehman Center. The first show I went to there was okay (Taj Express), but not great. The second show was mediocre (Ballet Hispanico) and featured multiple ridiculously long intermissions. The third show (Currents) was okay and would have been fine, except the actual show differed very much from the description of the show on their website! That was the last straw. I would not have bothered to attend this show if I had known this to be the case. Also, their programs always seem to start late, yet they're still seating people through the first 15 minutes of the show, and they don't wait for a break between acts to do so, so you have people walking all over the place while you're trying to watch. It's not worth the two hour roundtrip schlep from Manhattan to go to a place that can't even get a program description right and seems to have a pattern of booking second-rate shows that wouldn't cut it at a more well-known venue. I appreciate the diversity of their offerings, but seriously, book better shows. read more

This place is a rip off. They refuse to refund me money for a concert that was cancelled due to Covid over a year ago. I have emailed them several times but they refuse to refund me. I would assume they spent or stole the money and that is why they refuse to refund me. I have made it clear to them even when safe to do so I have no intentions on attending any concerts. Their lack of response and refusal to refund me makes me very suspicious!! read more

Totally appreciate this venue. Not only are the shows awesome, but they display the diversity and culture of the Bronx. I've seen better shows at Lehman than at Madison Square Garden. A true Bronx treasure! read more

Attended the Forever Freestyle concert with my mom. I only had two concerns - the seats are way too close together, and it tends to get very hot up in the balcony/mezzanine sections since it gets crowded, and it was almost IMPOSSIBLE to find a vendor who was selling something to drink other than alcohol. I ultimately found a water fountain, but it was a hassle to keep getting up from my chair to keep myself hydrated during the show due to the heat. Overall, great show, took me back to being a child in the 90's. read more

They took my money by canceling the Celia Cruz Musical on 11/16/19 and no refund was made $146.00

I saw Diego El Cigala on 4-14-18. Lehman announced that it would close during July and August for a million dollar make over which is great. Diego's performance- he bickered with the pianist during the whole performance because the instrument drowned out his voice somewhat. That was rather entertaining. He also walked off stage to address a lighting issue and within minutes a spotlight was shining on the diva. The audience was also treated to an ongoing range of unusual gestures, grimaces, and sounds. The opening act, Alex Conde and his band, were a shining example of being hungry and passionate at the start of a musical career. After Conde closed his set, the evening took a surreal turn. I won't go see El Cigala again but once was ok, for laughs. read more

Excellent shows. In my experience shows always start on time with good sound and lighting. Parking is not an issue and ticket prices are better than in NYC. Bathroom accommodations remain a problem because they need larger bathrooms for large crowds. By an large Lehman Center is one of the gems of the Bronx!!!! read more

As good as it gets! I'm a FAN of this place for a GREAT price & EXCELLENT shows.

I went to Lehman College Center For the Performing Arts to watch Patti LaBelle live in concert. I enjoyed it. The venue is very nice. The only downside was a slight issue with the sound system. After the issue was fixed the volume became much too loud! It was loud enough that one would have needed Ear Plugs. Patti must have sensed this because the sound system was altered. The restroom was clean. Thank goodness there were no unnecessary, annoying restroom attendants. It would visit again for another concert. However, I will ear plugs in case I need them. read more

One of our favorite places to see Salsa in the Bronx! Great performers, next up Los Van Van from Cuba. Beautiful campus with lots of security (had to add that for safety concerns), a parking garage & street parking! Come enjoy some food from HavanaCentral, buy CDs & tee-shirts of back in the day salseros! read more

Lehman center has provided some great show's over the year's usually at great pricing. I mostly attend the salsa show's and try to get front row seating to see my favorite Artist. But My recent visit to see "la India" and friends perform was not quite exciting. I had VIP tickets and great seat's, But to my dismay La India's performance was dismal at best, She arrived late and seemed distracted doing cover song's which I found unnecessary because she has plenty of her own song's to sing. The first half of show had Ray de la Pas doing his thing and lot's of social intercourse. A forty minute intermission and then the intro for La India, Who later has Eddie Palmieri playing keyboard to the few song's that La India performed. Lehman is a nice venue for concert's and show's and recommend it. read more

Three stars because the venue needs some major overhaul. A number of years ago, at a concert an announcement was made that a major grant from NYS had been given to LCPA to achieve this goal. You can still see a drawing in the lobby of what it was to be. What HAPPENED? Five stars for the salsa concerts. read more

I have been to Lehman center for many performances. The prices are affordable so get your tickets early for the good seats as they sell out fast. I love the salsa concerts keep them coming!!! read more

We paid for tickets and at 8:28 the line is so long that we are missing the first 45 minutes of the concert. This is an incredibly disorganized affair. It may be cheaper than Madison Swuare Garden but you have to be ok with missing most of the first act. read more

salsa events are great,prices fantastic....but ada is not implemented a federal offence, there security and police officer don't care and accuse you of been a trouble maker, they have done it to me. that is wrong and inhumane. to make more inappropriate. i promoted most of the concert under leo tizol............. read more

I have been to several shows and had a great time in all of them. How one thing didn't enjoy is the VIP offers. The food that they offer isn't worth it (roasted veggie) the drinks are very small and I found myself frequently up at the bar. Any seat you get you will be able to see the stage just well. read more

This is a great venue! but I miss the artists that i saw there some years ago, like Johnny Mathis, Kool & the Gang, Smoky Robinson, etc. We need more Black acts and mainstream music. WhileI LOVE Latin music, it seems that my culture is being overlooked. One of my favorite performances was Peter Nero. I took my three grandchildren to see him and they asked "Why is this old man here?" Once he started to play, they were mesmerized! Thanks for fabulous performances!!! read more

Lehman is convenient to where I live; that makes it possible for me to go in person when the series first opens and individually pick out seats for each and every show; the ladies at the box office are so patient with me and help me choose from the map Lehman presents affordable ticket prices for every performance and a variety of shows to meet each and every taste in the world. There are musicals, musicians, singers, acrobats, etc so everyone can pick his or her favorite dress is casual transportation is easy with subways and various bus lines, including the Westchester bus line Now us Bronxites don't have to take long trips to Manhattan or Brooklyn to see great performances I usually pick at least 6 shows out of every season also they have plenty of shows geared toward children with children's prices, too so Ms. Eva thinks of everything(Director) Priscilla T read more

I've been to Lehman Center for the Performing Arts for freestyle concerts and Latin concerts. The performers were great as expected. The seats I have had were perfect. The age range of the audience was one that made me feel comfortable and enjoy the concert to its fullest. Only problem we had at the last freestyle concert was the parking. We had to drive around Jerome avenue to find a parking lot. Overall great experience. read more

I purchased 2 tickets for the Andy Montanez concert on April 18, 2015. Each ticket was $25 each through groupon. I gave it to my parents as a gift. On the day of the concert my parents went to pick up the tickets and were given two $12.50 tickets. Basically I was ripped off because I paid double that on groupon. My parents did not know this until I told them after the concert. They really enjoyed the concert but I don't appreciate being swindled by Lehman College. read more

There are waiting lines everywhere. The show is announced at 8.00pm and starts at 9.30pm with another band that it wasn't even on the program. Very inconsiderate for the audience. They told me that they do always the same and how I'm going to know that I need to wait one hour and a half to see the show. read more

terrific programming a new york space that should be on your list of things to keep an eye on.

A great venue for concerts and shows. This gem of a venue has a world class sound system and great sight lines. The place is well run with great parking options. read more

I love supporting Lehman's Performing Arts Center especially, when they have Salsa bands performing. The venue is clean and aside from the occasional drunken loudmouth the place is pretty safe. The two reasons why I don't rate them a five star place is the sound and the ticket purchasing process. The sound is ear piercing to the point that at one point I needed to cover my ears for half of the show. The fact that no one picked up on this concerns me because the people hired to do the sound check up should be there for the entire show. As we were leaving several people were discussing this on their way out. The second reason for not rating this venue five stars is the fact that you cannot choose your own seats. In this day and age people should be able to select their own seats. I don't like the fact they they give you a choice of Orchestra but, don't tell you what seat you'll be sitting in. Are the good seat held for family and friends? It should be a simple first come first serve basis and allow the ticket purchaser to pick the seats they want. read more

I love this place, I am a bronx resident and I am constantley referring other people to come here.

I have been to Lehman center for many performances. The prices are affordable. I especially love the salsa concerts.

Agree with Rosa S. Nice venue, good crowd(s) and atmosphere, and also love the selections of artists they bring in to perform. However, the sound system could be better. read more

I went to Lehman for the Freestyle so call concert the WORST EVER!!!!!!. The singers that showed up "Busted and Disgusting" It is a Over sized Auditorium not a STADUIM The seats are so small and uncomfortable. They over charge for their concerts and should not be allowed to. The charge for beers and drinks like if they are a big event again they should not be allowed to. I will NEVER GO Back my worst experience ever. read more
