Brooklyn Academy of Music Reviews

This building has beautiful articture. The movie theater seats are a little close to each other.

A amazing place of art and culture. LOVE BAM ever since school trips there and now Dance Africa

Exciting! Beautiful African dance, apparel & marketplace.

BAM is a cultural hub for Brooklyn & NYC. Offerings include theater, music, opera, movies,& dance.

Great location for Brooklin 's residents, good acoustic!

n: it was very disappointing to see Mariinsky Theater yesterday.performance was very short . The tribute to greatest dancer in the world was not announced and no one sad word about Maya Plisetskaya The music was not playing expressive and it was to slow

Recently used my BAM membership to get half off movie tickets. Not a bad deal at all! The movie theater had a good sized screen, but it relatively small and was very packed, so we were forced to sit too close to the screen, which kind of damaged the experience (room number 3). It is good, start the movies on time, and might be the cheapest option of you are a member.

Great theater! Very well organized, restrooms are very clean, chairs are not the worst i have tried in a theater. The view from seconds level is very good. Only odd thing is that the sell you snacks but tells you can not eat them inside the theater when you are walking in...

Place is beautiful but dated. Chairs are not the most comfortable and the steps are very steep when up in balcony. Last step to front row also very awkward.

I am in love with the BAM, during the summer months there are many different performances that happen at the space. It is also apart of a beautiful history within Brooklyn.

My daughter went to this school and now she is a successful artist. The programs that she was introduced to has helped her to further her art. And she has now become a successful entrepreneur

It's the staff that make this place as good as it is. (And it is GOOD.) They deserve a union!

Really nice theater. Get there early if you want a good seat. There is no middle aisle so if you show up at showtime you will have to climb over some people for a decent seat.

The Dance Africa performance was amazing as always.

A beautiful building. Informative events and some great cultural shows. Check it out.

I highly recommend showing up early as the theater fills quickly. Overall this is a small theater with a decent hipster crowd and a good selection of movies. While it is not the same experience as a big box chain, it will provide a good night out.

The BAM Festival was Awesome as always I really enjoyed it.

Cattle car seats. I'm 6' and I barely fit. My shoulders go over _both_ handrests!! Wife on one side and very thin woman on my other side gracias a Dios. After decades of attending concerts here I sure don't feel like returning.

One of my favorite theaters! I wish they allowed online purchases, though.

Neighborhood Vibe and amazing good talent coming out of here!

One of the best theater/space for the arts in NYC/Brooklyn.

love the movie selection. cozy seats and lovely staff

This is one of our favorite places to catch a movie. There's a liquor store next door that has screw top bottles so if you're slick about it you can enjoy a dope movie in a beautiful theater with some tasty cheap wine! They also have plenty of events, and a theater for live shows, including things that are for kids and families.

Can't ask for a better space for performances. Love the variety and different levels of acting. Located in a very vibrant neighborhood with lots of options for food before shows. The cafe also offers small bites and a full bar. Will recommend everyone to visit at least once, the friendly ushering staff will make sure of that

Great place to watch a film. A bit of the old time picture palace in feel.

Went there on a school trip and we had a great time watching the African show.

Beautiful atrium, friendly service, a fun place to see limited release films

Great spot to see indie movies! The theatres aren't large so get there early to pick your seats. The concession stand offers a bit more upscale choices in addition to popcorn like fresh cookies and brownies.

Went to an amazing event in the Opera building portion and had an amazing time.

Love to see movies at this venue.. It's cozy and the view and sound are amazing.

Enjoy all the shows, movies and events I attend at BAM in Brooklyn. Great venue.

A short film of mine was premiering there, the seats were a little tight and there are no center isles so to get out of your row you have to wiggle your way through about 30 people or so. But from all the seats you can see the screen perfectly and the bathrooms are really easily accessible.

Home to one Of my favorite summer festivals Dance Africa!

Smells like mold in here and very bad smell in the rest rooms

IT WAS GOOD BUT WHEN WE GOT INSIDE SOME OF THE WORKERS NEAR THE ELEVATOR ACT LIKE THEY WERE COMPLETELY CLUELESS ABOUT THE COMIC BOOK CONVENTION UP STAIRS.THE ONES NEAR THE DOOR WERE NICE

So looking forward to a Jan. 18, 2020, show that was cancelled without notification. When I called to speak with them about rescheduling, no apologies, no sorry for the inconvenience. Agent simply said we sent you an email. We did not receive one, otherwise we wouldn't have driven 40 miles to Brooklyn and 40 miles back. What would most businesses do in this case? Say sorry, and mean it. Go an extra step to show empathy. How about "sorry you had to drive all that way, we'd be happy to upgrade your seats for the next available show. Would you like that?" That would be going above and beyond for your customers. Truly disappointed.

I went to a show here and it was wow. From the outside it looks ok but when you go in wow. It looks like you was taking to a far away place. The box office is on the first floor and so are the doors to the hall. Ones you go through the doors the hall is there. The bar is on the second floor they have some food to eat but remember this is a hall not restruaunt. The seat are a little small if you are a big and tall person. If you are, get the last seat on the row you will thank me.

Howard Gilman Opera House. Beautiful theatre. I saw Madonna here in sept 2019, and the sound wasn't as good as I'd hoped an opera house would be. I'm sure for non-concert type events it's a perfect place to see a show or opera.

I was there for Dance Africa, and I go every year. Nuff said

Cool theater to check out the latest arthouse films

It's a very nice place to see live performances. Is convenient to public transportation.

Nice theater but dated and very little leg room in the seats.

Just watched Miles Davis:Birth of the cool..exceptional

This does not concern their programming or content, but consider this:
You are disabled and 57
Your income is below poverty level
You are a student
You require an aisle seat and an elevator

You want to see a certain performance

You must be under 29 to use the student rush tickets
You cannot see the performance from the balcony seats ($35)
You cannot pay $65 or $115 for an aisle seat

You cannot walk up those stairs anyway

You want to attend with someone else who meets one those qualifications

There are many seats available (294) for a performance in question-but only for members at the patron level when you check

When you become a member to get 50% off same day tickets your new membership flag says you have exceeded your number of tickets purchased for this discount (you have never purchased any tickets at all!)

What does this tell you about policies regarding education and funding being discriminatory in order to fix ticket prices for certain events? A lot about the administration of the Met and BAM and so-called non-profit organizations getting funding when they openly discriminate and are ageist.
