Radio City has very good acoustics; the sound was great! Not a bad seat in the house for the music. The lighting design during the sets were good also. Security personnel were very professional but also friendly that night. The ushers also were very helpful with directing people to their seats. The man who helped me at concessions on the lower-level was cool too, friendly and made jokes with me and my husband (I bought us beverages only - waters and diet soda). In addition to your concert or show, spend some time looking around Radio City Music Hall and all the design details inside the hall. It's beautiful and a NYC landmark.

It's Radio City Music Hall--everything you'd expect from a grand New York City landmark. I was…read morefortunate enough to see Gustavo Dudamel conduct the New York Philharmonic on opening night, and the performance was spectacular. Dudamel was absolutely AMAZING. The venue lived up to the occasion, with excellent sound (thank you, Mr Dolan), spacious, comfortable seats, and great service. The food selection was surprisingly decent, and there's always a hot pretzel if you just want a snack. My double cocktail came to $34 plus tip, hardly surprising for a major NYC venue these days. Everything felt polished and well run, and the strong security presence made me feel safe. Between the magnificent setting and the unforgettable performance, the evening was worth every penny. If you have the opportunity to experience Radio City Music Hall, take it.

LaGuardia Performing Arts Center (LPAC) is located within LaGuardia Community College in Queens and…read moreis easily accessible to visit via the E, F, M, R, G & 7 trains at various train station stops and walking to the place. LaGuardia Community College is a spacious educational facility and one has to walk to a specific part of it to gain access to LPAC. There are Security Guards and you have to show Identification upon entry. I have been to LPAC twice to see Soh Daiko both in 2019 and earlier this year. Due to the COVID Pandemic, we were required to show our vaccine cards as well as Identification before being allowed to go upstairs to LPAC. LPAC is a clean, nicely-sized venue with comfortable seating. Papers were posted on specific seating in order for us audience members to practice Social Distancing. LPAC engages in partnership w/ institutions that include Carnegie Hall & Queens Theatre. Soh Daiko is a NY-Based Japanese Drumming Group/ Collective. We saw Soh Daiko at LPAC as part of the Carnegie Hall Citywide Concert Series. Soh Daiko gives fantastic performances and they were electrifying on the LPAC Stage. Soh Daiko's Show includes drumming, playing flutes, etc. w/ great choreography that included some acrobatics, the waving of Soh Daiko Flags, etc. Soh Daiko is energetic and vibrant and the audience gives them standing ovations at the end of the performances. Soh Daiko is also such a lovely collective that does meet & greets w/ the audience after the show to take pictures, talk,, sell their Soh Daiko Merch, etc. LPAC has bathrooms within walking distance from the venue area. The bathroom areas are clean, neat and organized. LPAC also allows individuals in the public to engage in LPAC facility rental opportunities if one want to use the venue for shows, etc. LaGuardia Performing Arts Center Information: Instagram- @lpaconthemap Websites- lpac.nyc. & laguardiaperformingarts.org Twitter- LPAConthemap Please also check their Facebook Page for more info.

They were so good, I became a fan of Emmet Smith and Daniel Fredrick. The way they portrayed their characters perfectly. Tom even did an amazing job. It felt complete watching him in movies and now seeing him in perform in person. It was perfect. The whole production was amazing. Beside the production, the theatre has no bad spots. Despite me sitting near the back in the middle section, i still was able to see the whole play and Tom. Not clearly, but good enough. I even love that the production included the audience in pieces of the show. Ovetall, i HIGHLY recommend visiting Lyric Theatre to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child even when Tom Felton isnt in the show. Everyone did such an amazing job and the theatre did such a great job keeping us on our toes. Only complaint is intermission time is a bit short. Had people rushing due to the long bathroom lines, but thats show business.

I purchased one theatre ticket for an extortionate price $150.00 "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" for a August Sunday matinee. Seating is laid out across three levels: Orchestra (raked view/ sloped), the Dress Circle aka mezzanine (stadium style), and the Balcony (accessible by stairs; no elevator access and steep theater rake view). It contains 1,622 seats total and is operated by ATG Entertainment. From my seat, I had a full scale perspective view as I was equipped with my prescription eye glasses for distance. It was sufficient leg room. I always have a penchant to purchase my ticket in-person at the Box Office and there are no frivolous surcharge or additional fees. I was able to obtain a flyer advertising "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," Broadway play. All bags will be inspected upon arrival which I have grown very accustomed due to a prior employer. All patrons are subject to enter a metal detector for safety and security like courthouses. There is no traditional stage curtain, but the show did start and end on time. The theatre marquee signage discreetly displays Lyric Theatre in whimsical celestial moon and stars. The acoustic was very good quality overall as the spatial sound to ensure balanced audio distribution across the Orchestra, Dress Circle, and Balcony levels to project clear vocal delivery with clarity. Lyric Theatre has been fully redesigned specifically for the production of "Harry Potter And The Cursed Child," Broadway play. Yes, there is fire, small water tank, hidden rigging for magic duels, and Dementors float hovering over the audience, trapdoors for character swaps, characters and stage hand in dark clothing swirling in long dark robes transition moving props and set design, hidden rigging, across the stage in darkness. I have a great admiration for the effects for the Time Turner Effect use of projection mapping, precise lighting, and audio-visual ripples to make objects look like they are floating while warping the room. WOW! The stage was renovated to custom built a rotating turntable which is not as famous as Richard Rodgers Theatre for "Hamilton," the Broadway musical. The theatre ceiling does not have the standard circular dome painted mural or lighting chandelier unlike most NYC Broadway theatres from my seat perspective. The ceiling and balcony facade is equipped with projected background lighting for aesthetically pleasing interiors. How did the special effects crew make all this happen? The lobby contains the iconic red British telephone booth. The lobby contains the Company cast names and standby for any lead actors' scheduled absence. The lobby ceiling contains a gargantuan oval mural of whimsical celestial sun, stars and moon in ornate with lighting. I entered the theatre half hour early and was able to utilized the facility which were abundant and functioning. The hand dryer was very weak as it is not a Dyson brand. After being settled in my seat half hour in the show, I was deeply freezing from the brutal artic cold air conditioning which I did have a sweater as defense. The gift shop features my default Harry Potter items: chocolate frogs and jelly beans. I purchased from ATG Lyric Theatre's website and the theatre staff was very helpful to assist which cost less than the gift shop extortionate price and further beneficial, my order was delivered to my seat pre-show. Every seat back contains a QR code enabling patrons to purchase gift items, themed drinks, Harry Potter snacks, or souvenirs which can be delivered directly to your seat pre-show or during intermission.

So much is hosted here, it's hard to imagine there's no review for the building itself. The center…read moreis a converted old public school building. Upon entering on Suffolk St. only, you must always sign in and out at the front desk. Though a tad annoying sometimes, you get over it cause the gentleman who's there (at least on Monday nights) is friendly and will learn your face, if not your name too. As mentioned, it's an old turn of the century building, and I of course don't mean the 21st. So, expect creaky wooden floorboards, blackboards everywhere, kiddie-sized bathrooms, and gated stairways. The 2nd floor is primarily dominated by Teatro Latea in the center. If you're like me, who generally has choir practice in the smaller rooms on the north side of the building, you think it makes absolute sense to cut thru the Latea theater. When they have a performance, however, you're forced to ascend to the 3rd floor to cross over and come back down. Through the drab hallways and stairwells that would be utterly frightening if the lights weren't on, and past the sometimes odorful Capoeria center, which reminds me of a gym locker room sometimes since socks and shows are parked along the hallway. Secretly, I'm just jealous of all the people clearly getting their exercise flow on more than I do. Though I emphasize the ancient-ness of the building, there's certainly a charm to it, the most noticeable being that they're assumedly quite affordable for many, small and varied art groups. We're a choir who rehearses here, there are dance groups, and other auditions held here too. And the rooms (at least 2nd fl north) hold at least 40, and also include air conditioning plus large windows for the summer and good 'ol fiery NYC radiators in the winter. The building is what you make it. Beautiful structurally on the outside, and beautiful inside in its soul because of the service it provides to city and neighborhood art groups. Stop on by sometime. There's a lot to see!

This is one of two ice skating rinks I've visited so far in NYC and it's my favorite (for now!)…read more I've been twice - once on Christmas Day (was EXTREMELY crowded) and again on January 4th. The most recent visit was much more pleasant as it wasn't crazy crowded with tourists. First, if you are an NYC resident, GET YOURSELF A LIBRARY CARD! Either the New York Library, Brooklyn or Queens - doesn't matter as long as you have a physical copy of one of these. If so, you can buy same-day tickets at the ticket booth for $16!!! This includes your skate rentals and you also get a cup of hot chocolate with this price. Such an incredible perk for those of us who live here! **If you have your own skates, you're allowed to bring them in! Not sure how that affects the library card price, but I do know that it does decrease the regular price cost as you can skip the $12 rental fee. As for the rink itself... This is the biggest one I've been to so far! Which I find to be important as it's easier to dodge the people who don't know how to ice skate when there's more space to move around. There are lockers for rent where you can put your stuff which are $8, however they're a bit small. I was able to stuff our backpack, two pairs of women's shoes, a metal water bottle, one of my husband's Timberland boots and one of our friend's sneakers, but it was a TIGHT squeeze. All of this barely fit. **We put one of each of the guy's shoes in the locker because who would steal one Timberland boot without the other one? These lockers are first come, first serve and it is an absolute NIGHTMARE to find an empty one on crowded days... However you are not allowed to have a purse or backpack on the rink, so keep this in mind if you're planning to come on a peak day! The staff was always very helpful, which we appreciated. Also, I want to make note that one of the staff members told me that they don't sharpen the blades of the skates, which makes them VERY slippery if you get on the ice as soon as the Zamboni finishes up. Besides hot chocolate, they have hot apple cider, coffee beverages and an assortment of snack food you can order if you need to refuel after being out on the ice. They even have some vegan options, which was great to see (as a vegetarian, we love a good vegan option)! When planning your visit, I recommend checking their website to see when they will be resurfacing the ice rink. The first time we went, we did not take this into consideration so we only got about 30-ish minutes of skating before we had to hop off the ice for them to resurface it. However, the second time we went with local friends who suggested we show up right as they were finishing resurfacing the ice. This was absolutely perfect! We got about an hour and 15 minutes or so of rink time before hopping off for them to bring out the Zamboni again. I know that we will definitely be back in the years to come! I love ice skating and this outdoor experience was the best one I've had so far.
