I love this historic theater! They get top music acts (for my taste) like Todd Rundgren, the Jayhawks and Nick Lowe and will continue to come here even though it's a hike from Manhattan. read more

Last night I went to Tarrytown Music Hall for the first time to see Kathy Griffin perform. It was a great show and I had a good time. I'm glad I got to see her at this historic venue. However, I wish I had read reviews about the seating before I bought my tickets. We had two balcony seats. The view was great, but the seats themselves were uncomfortable. Sitting for 2+ hours for the comedy act was tough, especially towards the end. I wasn't affected too much, but I felt bad for my husband because the woman seated in the row in front of him kept whipping her hair back and it hitting him. It wasn't intentional on her part, just the situation. The seats are very close together, even row to row. The marquee from the outside looks great, and the inside has a charm with framed posters of past performers on the walls, antique furniture, and the cut-out wall decorations lining some of the walkways, etc. Bar is upstairs. Bathrooms are ground level. The woman who directed us to our seats was friendly. Overall, most staff were pleasant and helpful. Earlier, there seemed to be a little confusion with the crowd when doors opened. It was nice that staff let people into the lobby since it was cold outside, but there wasn't clear line control. You could sense some of the crowd was a little put off waiting in close quarters with one another. But once doors really opened, it was all good. read more

My wife and I had the pleasure of seeing a comedy show here on a Saturday night. The venue is located in beautiful and charming downtown Tarrytown which has lots of shops, restaurants, and fun. Neither one of us had been to this venue previously and we both grew up in Westchester County. First and foremost, if you are a current or retired law enforcement officer or agent, they will not allow you to bring your firearm inside the venue. I voluntarily told security before they used the metal detector that I was carrying but I was denied entry, and had to secure it somewhere fast. I was not happy but it is their house and their rules. I found a place nearby to secure it. The venue is a very charming with lots of history and character. It's not a large theatre but every seat is good. The acoustics are excellent. The ushers are pleasant and warm. At least at this performance, security came around during the show to ensure nobody was on their phones taking photos or videos. Security was very vocal and visible throughout the show about not being on your phone at all. It did not happen to us. There are public parking lots in the area. Lots of well known artists and performers come here so we will be back....unarmed. read more

Pretty nice small town music hall. Came here on my birthday to see a Pete Davidson show and had a great time. First off, very walkable to restaurants nearby as well as parking; there's nothing like seeing a show and walking around the corner to your car. Getting in was a little melodramatic as they were bagging everyone's phones however they were at least fast about it. Theater is dated however in that old timey way where it ends up being charming. Seating is typical. If you've gone to an old Broadway theater, you know what to expect. Downstairs only had a snack bar, with the bar being upstairs. Bar line gets long however is worthwhile, as they have a legitimately good selection of beer/wine including local craft beers as well as some canned cocktails. Ushers generally do their job which was good as there were some unruly kids and dumbasses who tried to sneak in phones. Ticket prices were fair and there's some good acts, so will definitely be back. read more

This review is for the Theater, not the performance. First of all let me say that me and my gf go to a ton of concerts and love the different theaters to see a show. (mayopac, count basie, bergenpac) etc. NOT HERE. Disappointed. Seats need some renovating, chipped and missing paint. While the seats have good leg room this place looks like its going to crumble at any moment. There needs to be some kind of maintaining here. The ushers are a bit rude at times running up and down the isles yelling at people to put their phone down. Not one person could use there phone to text or check something if they need to. This is unacceptable. No other theater does this. If i get a text from my kids i need to respond. These are volunteer ushers, not police, get over yourselves. Do you not realize you are ruining the experience for us. If you have to use the bathrooms get ready for the nightmare of your life. Mens room, in a basement dungeon. 3 urinals, wet urine all over the floor, very disguisting. Now they seem to like to say the theater is 140 years old but you cant use this excuse for the horrible experience people are getting.. read more

Historic theater from 1885. A real bonus to the community and the arts. I know the exterior had major renovation work, and hopefully, the interior is soon in the making. No doubt it will be a major undertaking and at a hefty price. Loved the concert experience and the overall vibe. read more

Tarrytown Music Hall is a very old yet charming venue. The Volunteers Do a wonderful job moving the lines continuously, as well as assisting with seating. We saw 2 different Shows on separate days, Lorie Burkner Band and The Nutcracker ballet. Both very lovely and fun. They are very serious about certain shows not being photographed or videotaped, and the venue is accessible only on the first level. They will however have someone assist if you call ahead. Bathrooms were not ideal for handicapped fyi. I planned my son's care before and after showtime, plan accordingly for this Old Historical Site Venue. read more

I visited Tarrytown for the day yesterday specifically to see Haunted Objects Live at the Music Hall. The show was fantastic! The space is very cool with a quaint, vintage vibe. The staff were very kind and helpful. But above all the show was phenomenal & they should definitely have Greg & Dana Newkirk back again in the future. I paid the extra fee for the meet & greet after the show and was not disappointed. Greg & Dana were unbelievably kind and gracious. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely return again in the future. The town is adorable and fall is the perfect time to visit to see the leaves changing. I cannot recommend the experience highly enough. read more

Wonderful place to see a concert. It's historic and feels like stepping back in time seeing a show here. They feature a mix of local and big name acts. From rock to blues to children's shows to comedians and more they have it all here. We did a day trip over the weekend to walk around town and grabbed two tickets to see Eaglemania when passing by. Had a nice dinner close by and then enjoyed a great show. The acoustics and air conditioning here is terrific. Good sighting from most seats. Concessions are only $3 for pretty much everything except alcohol which is a lot cheaper than Broadway theaters. It's a very community place and those working here are volunteers who are really nice. Seating in the orchestra area is super affordable with comfy seats and a ton of leg room. Balcony seating is tight from what I viewed. Splurge for orchestra seats! Take a walk around and check things out before the show. It's old and shows it, but there are some cool things to view. read more

This review is for the theater, not the performance we saw last night. We haven't been to this theater in over 15 years and were shocked at the shabby condition it's in. Even Colin Quinn (who was great) made a comment at the start of his act regarding the condition. The stage looked awful in terms of the lighting and curtains...drab and dingy. Why couldn't the crew add some colored lighting to the curtain behind him? Everything was grey and dark. There's peeling paint on the walls and ceiling, all in various shades of brown. And if you ever decide to see a show here, DO NOT buy seats in the balconey unless you're under 5 feet 2 inches. There is NO room - at all - front, back or sides. I shudder to think how people could get up and out quickly in an emergency from the balconey. Whomever is managing this theater needs to hire someone that knows how to raise money or get grants for much needed improvements to what was once a lovely theater. read more

Total disappointment. I booked this tour about 5/ 6 weeks ago knowing that events book up. We arrived at Tarrytown and had out tour booked at 12 noon. Excited for out first tour of our visit, I received a call telling me our show was canceled due to double booking. This definitely ruined our plans and left us with no tour until later that night. We wanted to be busy and we were left scrambling for stuff to do. read more

Great venue, If you ever really want to enjoy a favorite band or comedian and by chance they are scheduled there Dont miss out ! There is just no place like it. Its small feel enough that if provides an intimate vibe and really offers the sense that you part of small private event for a few select fans. read more

What a fantastic place to see a show! We were impressed with this intimate venue and had a blast seeing The Real Housewives of New York, countess Luanne De Lesseps cabaret show. If you have the chance to see a show here, I definitely recommend it. Friendly and helpful staff& volunteers who help you find your seat, etc. will be looking for more shows to go back! read more

The people that run this place are ruining this place. It was once a beautiful venue but it's so run down and visually rotting away. From the visible black mold to the dirty crusty seats or the bathrooms that might give you an infection. It's sad what a dilapidated state this landmark has become. A bunch of aged out artsy boomers that forgot all about the peace, love and happiness stuff and replaced it with bitter, angry and selfishness are running it into the ground. Been here a few times but the last and final time was a comedian trying to perform and the sound of the heater and pipes was so loud that every time it kicked on it would ruin the setup or punchline of the jokes. Threw the whole set off to the point he just started making fun of the place instead of doing his act. Hopefully they turn this place over to individuals that actually know how to run and care for a venue that was once historical and relevant. read more

Beautiful Old timely music hall with several obvious renovations. Makes me wonder what it look like in its heyday. It's in a nice area of town where there are lots of restaurants and other venues to enjoy before or after any performance. My friend and I came on a Friday night after work to see Maria Bamford, the comedian. We took Metro North and it's just a short eight minute walk from Metro North Tarrytown station to the music Hall. There's a bar on the second floor that's a little hard to notice. It's a nice intimate venue with pretty nice acoustics. At least for watching comedy. I would definitely come back again. The seats are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean,ushers are nice. I hear it's a nonprofit so I gave five dollars to support the theater. Note: Maria Bamford is super talented and sweet to her fans. read more

Tarrytown Music Hall - Beautiful painting of Hudson River on ceiling - Performing Arts Near Me - Tarrytown, New York

Lived here in west Chester for 25 years and this is my first time at TMH? Old school charm mixed with very good acoustics for a music concert. Sat in row L on the aisle so the sight line was great. Walked to the balcony and seems to be an decent view there. Beer and wine selections are good and reasonably priced. Hopefully will be back soon for a show or movie. Update: went to see Alan Parsons Project and sat in nearly last row in balcony (row L) the sound was quite disappointing, and these bright lights from the side were on for the first few songs, light were blinding and distracting from the show. They would then continue to come on to encourage the audience to applaud or such. Had to put my hand over my eyes. The sound? Bad. I went down to the back of the orchestra and was much better. I don't recommend sitting up in the balcony if you can avoid it. Sight line is fine though. read more

This review has to do with the The Music Hall Shop. Horrible experience if you are ordering online. My order never arrived and it is impossible getting in touch with customer service. Sent many emails, no replies. Do not order online from them. The Shop could very well be a reflection of the way The Music Hall is run. read more

Great venue however if you are a good sized person I recommend sitting downstairs where there is much more room when you sit in the seats. The upstairs balcony seats were close together. If you are plus sized and must sit upstairs then try to get an aisle seat. If I go back I will not sit upstairs, it was even tight for my wife who is a small person. read more

Great 800 seat venue in downtown Tarrytown. Plenty of municipal parking lots and restaurants to suit every taste and wallet size. I love the old theatre feel of the place and for me being over 6' tall, the extra legroom! Nice staff of volunteers who understood that The Mavericks were not a sit down and listen crowd but a " get up and shake it" bunch of fans who were very enthusiastic as was the band. A fun night was had by all. Thank you Tarrytown Music Hall for a job well done. read more

We love having the ability to see top music and other entertainment acts at a smaller, local and more intimate venue. This 1885 historic landmark building is conveniently located, surrounded by a bunch of terrific restaurants and routinely hosts terrific acts. It has been operated by a non-profit since its closure and renovations in the late 70's. Tickets are reasonably priced and there is convenient pickup at the window. We popped in to see the Cowboy Junkies. Had great seats, and the band was terrific. Only nit pick is that the seating is tight, especially when compared with the Paramount in Peekskill. And another touch up is probably overdue. read more

Was very disappointed in the way the Music Hall handled getting into the theatre. It was disorganized and shoulder to shoulder crowded. They needed to first check your Vax status and then instead of making it clear that there were ticket takers, they had tables to take your phone and bag it. If you questioned what was going on they just asked you to leave. Very unprofessional and inefficient. Last time I go there for any event. read more

A nice, nonfussy, noncity venue to enjoy some live music; it used to be a place just for the cinema and apparently has undergone some renovations. I was pleasantly surprised that they have some more known headliners. The seats aren't super comfortable but good enough, and more important is that it's not a huge place so you get a clear vantage point from the orchestra or balcony. The volunteers were very nice and helpful. They only serve soft drinks and candy on the orchestra floor and beer/wine on the balcony. Unfortunately, we were seated next to folks who had to get up every few minutes, but that's just our own bad luck! There's street parking and metered parking lots. If you drive around, you'll probably find something. A plus is that there are a bunch of restaurants on the same street and on nearby streets, so you can make a night out of it. read more

AWESOME VENUE!! Read the reviews before heading over and was scared. Instead I found the most friendliest staff, comfortable seats and no problems or inconveniences. We had an amazing time at the concert. It's a small, very intimate theater, located on Main St and surrounded by many bars and restaurants. read more

What an awful night I had in Tarrytown. Had an awful meal at Bistro 12 across the street and it was a mess at the theater. I bought a ticket at the box office at 5pm day of show and the barcode on the ticket for some reason was not working. The ticket taker sent me to the box office and it took 10 minutes to fix. Not even an apology. I was so exasperated from this, I had my mask off for 2 seconds and a Tarrytown cop yells at me to put my ask on. I've been to all the small theaters in the tristate area; the wellmont, the Bergen PAC, the palace in Stamford, CT. They all treated their patrons better than this dump did to me read more

What an amazing venue! I am a huge Michael Franks fan and when he plays anywhere in the area, I will travel. I saw two of his concerts at the Tarrytown Music Hall and I always leave with such a good feeling. Did you know this historic 843-seat Music Hall is on the National Register for Historic Places. The Hall was built in 1885 by chocolate manufacturer William Wallace and is the oldest theater in Westchester County as well as being one of 6% of theaters in the United States built before 1900. Well chocolate my chocolate! Great acoustics, its a theater folks in Tarrytown should be proud to have for many years to come. read more

Great theater hall with iconic ambiance . From wall art, lighting fixtures, and glass door marquee, Tarrytown Music Hall IS the real deal. You couldn't ask for a better location as Main street and the surrounding blocks are filled with great restaurants and cafes. This is a historic hall in a historic town, definitely go! Some Wiki Facts: -Tarrytown Music Hall was built in 1885 and has served as a venue for great musicians such as Dave Brubeck, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Tony Bennett, Dizzy Gillespie, Branford and Wynton Marsalis, Tito Puente, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen and James Taylor to name a few. -The Music Hall has been the site for several films, documentaries, TV shows and commercials such as The Preacher's Wife starring Whitney Houston and Denzel Washington, The Impostors starring Stanley Tucci and Oliver Platt, The Secret Lives of Dentists starring Dennis Leary & Campbell Scott, and The Good Shepherd directed by Robert DeNiro and starring Matt Damon. read more

Went for my first time recently for a fun comedy show. It's so easy to get to and they have pretty good acts. I honestly don't know what took me so long to get here. I had my tickets at the Will Call. Showed up early to pick them up before grabbing a bite. No problem getting the tickets. There are a ton of places in the area to eat and have a drink. Went in about 15 minutes before show time. Easy entry and led right to my seat. The seats are ok, a bit dated, but offer nice leg room. The sound and lighting are good, except a couple times the comedian's mic died, it was played into the act though. Clean and beautiful, the historic nature of the theater really shines. read more

Tarryrown music hall is terrible! They throw you out the door the minute the show is over even if you ask for two minutes to find your spouse or you party. the security over feels their authority. It's completely ridiculous and I will never spend my money on a show again . I don't care who it is. They should consider themselves lucky to have an audience given the current times. A little risk it or someone to stand still for one minute to locate their party!! Never again ! Do not donate to this entity!!!! read more

My favorite place to see music. Draws big talent in an intimate setting. Highly recommend.

Very good show but some of the workers were very rude. I bought and I underline Bought a water for $3.00 and put $1.00 in jar for donation as I was walking away they kept calling out miss miss I didn't look back because didn't think anything of it one of the men touched my arm and asked me pretty loudly if I had paid for the water I was very embarrassed and spoke very loudly at the man who looked at me and said oh she paid Did not appreciate the scene it sort of felt very bad No special apologies just one of the men said about the other one he's an idiot to which I replied yes he is other than that show was very good But do not recommend workers not very professional read more

I have been to Tarrytown Music Hall several times to see The Mavericks, who perform every year around Halloween. But, that's beside the point. They're always great and the theater is wonderful. What I didn't like when I went last Friday (10-26-18) was the security trying to take my water and suggesting I buy a 3.00 bottle of water or dump mine and refilling in the ladies room. I understand security these days, but. The second thing I don't care for are the rude people who stand in front of you, blocking your view of the stage. People are told in the beginning to be courteous of those behind them, but it wasn't happening Friday night. I realize this has nothing to do with the venue but this has to be enforced somehow by TMH. We lost seeing most of the show because of this. I paid for tickets, it isn't fair I couldn't see the show. So, if there is one thing that I would ask TMH, is to try and stress to the audience that they cannot stand during the show. I know people are people, but TMH needs to be more vocal be a bit more vocal about this. Otherwise, love this venue an the ease of finding parking and great restaurants! read more

This is a historic theater with great architecture and charm. However, it's in need of some updates. The seats in this theater are extremely cramped, at least in the balcony where we were sitting. It really detracted from my enjoyment of the show as my knees were hitting the seat in front. It could also use some aesthetic renovations as paint is peeling in some spots. read more

A great job was done on the restoration of this old theatre. It's a perfect size for the neighborhood and I've seen some really great musicians here. Most recently was a very memorable Todd Rundgren. I would give it 5 stars if there weren't to few bathrooms for the capacity size of the theatre. Apparently, they are working on this. I already have a few more events lined up here for the summer. read more

Tarrytown Music Hall - The incomparable Todd Rundgren - Performing Arts Near Me - Tarrytown, New York

Still like this venue a lot, but one thing I have to comment on - the etiquette of the people who attend shows here is very often outrageously bad. Screaming out songs they want played, talking during the show, screaming at the musicians *while they are in the middle of a song* - just terrible. It really detracts from the experience. Seen it happen at a few different shows now, from Robert Cray last night, to Brandi Carlile a few years ago, to Los Lobos last year. Hate to blame the venue, as it has more to do with the fans, but I have never seen it with that kind of regularity at any other venue in the New York area. Maybe there is something the Music Hall can do to discourage that behavior. read more

Unfortunately the Tarrytown Music Hall has seen much better days... Can you still enjoy a show there? Of course as Chazz Palminteri's A Bronx Tale was terrific - but that's another story... The theater looks tired, worn and beaten with cracks and chips on it's walls and ceiling. No question - work needs to be done here. Loose seats and a horrible men's bathroom with a sink that's way too close to the urinals. Shame as there's beauty here - from another age - that can resurface with the proper detailed renovation. With the handsome Capitol Theater in Port Chester as well as other nearby competitive venues the Music Hall's survival may depend on it. read more

Tarrytown Music Hall is one of those places that you want to tell the world about but you also want to keep it a secret for fear of it loosing its old charm beauty. My first visit, and hoping it will not be my last, was on January 21st. My husband surprised me with tickets to Citizen Cope concert. It was an amazing surprise and a very special night. The hall is warm and inviting with silhouette images decorating the walls and red velvet covered seats. The concert was acoustic and sounded great throughout the hall. Upstairs you can find a small bar that sells beer and wine, but cash only. The staff was very friendly. There are yearly events posted on their website. I believe during the Christmas holiday that just passed the movie White Christmas was playing at the hall. So if you are looking for a cozier venue to either see your favorite artist or band or just want to watch a favorite classic movie, Tarrytown Music Hall is the perfect place, all year round. I have added their websites to my favorites and will be checking for new events throughout the year. read more
