David H Koch Theater Reviews

Went ti see Shen Yun.. amazing. The theater is easy to get to.. just a few stops on the subway from Penn Station.

Sleeping Beauty was a great way to spend Valentine'sDay with this beauty.

Things to like: world class ballet, wonderful theater architecture, amazing musicians playing the scores.

Things not to like: the name.

Beautiful place and excellent presentation of Nutcracker!

The Nutcracker never disappoints! Beautiful music and ballet. Love it.

This theater is BEYOND beautiful. Saw this year's Nutcracker extravaganza, which was beautiful as well, if not especially well danced

No sooner did the curtain come down and rude ushers at the end of tonight's performance shooing everyone out saying "the theater is closed." Guess they weren't used to all the encores.

Very nice room right next to Central Park and comfortable

Only reason for not giving 5 stars is the coat checkin line is way to long.

Beautiful theatre! I always enjoy seeing the New York City Ballet here with my family. The staff is helpful, although we have encountered a man directing people to their seats on the upper row to be a little irritable but the rest have been nothing but polite.

Watched the Nutcracker on Dec 27th. The venue was beautiful and the 3rd ring seats perfect to see the whole production.

It s a good building. But please choose the show wisely. Not everything worth of your time and money there.

An amazing performance a welcoming staff in a beautiful theater such a wonderful evening! Thanks!

Seats on the fourth floor is surprisingly good, giving you a good view of the overall choreography, and the stage actually doesn't feel very far away. They often hold pre-show talks on this floor, giving you nice introduction of the history and also shows a couple of their beautiful costumes. I'd recommend coming early and joining one of those talks. I do hope they consider lowering ticket price for the back half of 4th floor or start a "rush ticket" program, since it's entirely empty when we came on a weekday night for Sleeping Beauty. If they were $35 instead of $89 perhaps more people would come! Such a waste for a great performance.

Theater is stunning with 2500 plus seats. Views from any seat are amazing. Acoustics are unreal and staff is extremely polite and very customer oriented. Extremely clean theater LOVED IT!

Such a beautiful theater. I flew in from Saint Louis just to witness the beautiful Misty Copeland dance for the first time. I was concerned not being from the area that our view would be bad since I purchase seats in the third ring. Not at all! I could see the expressions on the dancers face. I was in third ring, row B, seat 18. My only issue, there was not a restroom for both genders on each side of the theater on our floor. The long walk to the other side with heels on was a chore, especially when you're trying to get in and out between curtain calls. I wish I captured more pictures. I took video but the artwork and detailing was breathtaking. It's nearby subway stations, which I took. The area was well lit and clean. Lincoln Center gorgeous in itself. Attached is the view from my seat.

go every year to see the Nutcracker based on Balanchine's production.

We enjoyed the Nutcracker here at this nice Theatre

You can pick up Web ordered tickets from the official site at the entrance.

It was great! What an experience we had! There was even an after party in the lobby. Eat before you come here lol

Convenient to all transportation, great performances, reasonable ticket prices and a pleasing place to visit.

A beautiful house of spectacles, impressive architecture and good structure. Here you can enjoy various classics of music and dance. It's worth the visit.

This beautiful place is a notable concert and ballet hall, passionately populated by the fervently unaridated souls of NYU and the NYC art world. In a whirl of motion and a whisk of color, you will find yourself caught in the contagion of music, effusively consumed by the undeniably evanescent, ethereal notes, and the soul-rendering pliae of the far too modest dancer. It is a place and thing of veritable beauty, in its very truest form.

This place is absolutely awesome. I went to watch the Shen Yun Performing arts show and it was amazing. The sound quality from the orchestra pit is very nice and the size of the stage make it very easy to see everything.

This was my first time at the theater. Clean welcoming environment with beautiful art which helps bring the pre- show atmosphere to life.

Nice theater but above all excellent orchestra and quality modern and contemporary dance

What professionalism this N Y City ballet
Superb staging

Last night's ballet of 'The Silk Road' by the Lanzhou Dance Theatre was beautiful. I desired more dancing in the first half; it seemed like more of a musical than a ballet. There was more dance in the second half, and so my thirst was quenched. The costumes also were more colorful and appealing.

Of course the heroine and the hero were fantastic; they were very light on their feet and very agile.

In all, it was a delightful show.

The wat the seating is set up, visibility is good fron all the seats.

I got cheaper seating for there being an "obstructed view" but it ended up being fine. I saw the Nutcracker for the first time, which was fun and beautiful! The food/drinks at intermission were expensive, but that was expected. Very clean and pretty space.

Went and saw the Japanese rendition of Macbeth. Stunning theater and night out.very impressive

Street parking was ok. Plenty to eat in the area. The facility was clean and staff was friendly. I would go back there for another event.

Best ballet of the nutcracker I've seen. Very great job!

Great theater with wonderful acoustics. Went to go see Shen Yun here. Surprised that lincoln center would put on this show. It is touted as a chinese cultural experience but it is clearly propaganda for Dalun Gong. It is creepy and I would not recommend this show. It did feel awkward and cultish.

Nice, but the upper seats have no leg room to stretch.

The ballet and their modern dancing performances are just fabulous

Very nice location. I was very impressed. Next time I hope I find better seat next time I visit.

saw the NYC ballet. I would imagine evert seat oa great sat first ring. Was able to see everything.

I loved the New York State Theater, the City Opera, and George Balanchine. All are gone, alas, but their work lives on.

Last night's performance by the Paul Taylor American Dance Theater was memorably great.

City Ballet has some of the best dancers in the world.

The theater is very nice but I have 4 stars because from the company I expected more

I compare everything with Carnegie Hall, which I don't like. This place is compact, all the seats are pretty good in terms of view and comfortable.

Special, elegant, comfortable seats and great entertainment.

I had an amazing experience at this theater. I was surprised on how good the view is from the third ring, from where you can distinctly appreciate the facial expression of the dancers, together with the details of their movements. The chairs are comfortable enough to seat for a couple of hours in a row. Also, the process of ticket pickup was extremely fast and efficient even in a busy night.

Beautiful Theater, good view of the stage from all seats.

There are more and more rules which make it a VERY unfriendly place. After 62 years of attendance I will no longer be renewing my subscriptions.

Go see the Nutcracker! You will love it! Beautiful theater!

Love the atmosphere and the auditorium is majestic, wonderful experience

We went to see the Alvin Alley ballet. Just spectacular!!

Simply incredible!!! I saw the swan lake and the truth is that the level is impressive. If you are in New York do not stop booking tickets either for the ballet, opera or watch the Philharmonic.

Went to see The Nutcracker, which is an unavoidable experience while you are in NYC. The theater itself is awe inspiring for its sheer size and beauty

Amazing performances, the ballet and music quality were very high. It is very entertaining for the whole family and also for business men (It is worthy to notice that my boyfriend did not fall sleep... against his own will, because he had a blast). If you like classical music and ballet the Nutcracker is a must

I used to think (a couple decades ago) that the entire Lincoln Center was a monument to 60s "bad architecture". But now . . . it's kind of iconic NY. And the Koch Center, to me, is rivaled only by the opera house for interior beauty. Plus, there isn't a bad seat in the house.

Staff is very efficient and pretty friendly. Easy to navigate the place. Sound is extraordinary.

If you're reading this May-summer do definitely check out Ballenchine and Justin Peck ballets. They are extraordinary!

It was a beautiful experience. The Nutcracker was magical.

Like much of NYC itself, the theater is a blend of modern with classy. It doesn't overwhelm you like some older more elaborate theaters in the world, or even the city, but you know you're someplace special from the moment you walk into it. Seeming a lot smaller than you would suspect from the look of the outside, every seat is probably a good one.

Beautiful theatre. We were in 4th level 5th row and it was easy to see the stage but everything looks tiny.

Wonderful day!! SHEN YUN a Show all must see. All about Dance/ meaning . Smiling!!!

Fantastic viewing from all seats! Great acoustics. Stunning promenade.
