Nokia Theatre Times Square Review

#KeepThatSameEnergy #TeyanaTaylor #LaterThatNightTour

This theatre has been called several names. I would say it's a good medium size venue to see shows. Im not that impressed with the sound there. If you looking for loud that's the venue for you. Bring earplugs.

Can't say anything about the theater itself, but their box office outside is fast

Kim Walker brought the holy spirit all up in that theater that night, which made it Amazing.

Caught a show here while in NY last week (saw the Japanese band SCANDAL). Not bad, but the staff were pretty poorly organized. They were lining people up on the street, but with no rhyme or reason to it, then taking people in groups to lines more interior to the venue. And whichever random logic they used would either jump you 100 people ahead of where you had been (very important in a general admission venue), or put you 100 people behind where you had been. They only had 2 working metal detectors which they were putting everyone though, which also slowed things down. Once inside though, the venue was fine. Good feel, good acoustics, and good stage. Only weird note was they had two raised balconies for "VIP" seating on either side of the venue facing the stage, but nobody had any idea what was going on with them. That confused a lot of people who tried to upgrade, pay for tickets, etc (that wasn't how the venue was running it). But, overall, good venue to see a good band :)

You might think a music venue right by Times Square would be a nightmare but this place is sublime. Very clean, very professional. The stage is humongous, there is so much space and the sound and lights are top-notch. Whenever an artist I like plays here, I can count on it being an absolutely fantastic time. Strangely, even the crowds here are always very good but that may just be artist-specific. The alcohol is expensive, but the bathrooms/coat check/everything else are pristine. Love this place.

Bigger than I expected! Held a decent amount of people with plenty of booze and a pizza/snack stand. Within Temptation was fabulous!! Would definitely come for future shows~

It's a cool place! I liked that there are seats at the back so if we want to enjoy the concert but are not in a standing/jumping/dancing mood, we can take one of the comfy seats while listening and watching.

Great place to see show. Not the best atmosphere and the outside carpeting van get dirty, but they have GA and Seating, which satisfies everyone

Out of nowhere, you have this underground theater. Where you will be shocked to see a show here. This place doesn't have a bad seat in the house and the staff just is outstanding. If you have the opportunity to see anything here jump on it.

My favorite venue. Comfortable seats, good sound system, ample clean bathrooms, and super convenient.

The show we went to see was excellent! The bar service was extremely slow which meant that people were coming in and distracting from the stage for a long time after the lights went down. It's a good theatre though and the seats were pretty comfy for the duration of the show!

Great venue. Spacious and clean, security keys people know where everything is as soon as they get in. I had to sit by the speakers and security have me earplugs. Where else does that happen?

Amazing space to have the final class session. Gorgeous and welcoming with high ceilings and sparkling chandeliers. Would love to visit again. Thank you very much!

Good venue for smaller shows. Def get there a bit early to get good seats

Intimate! Great sound! Not a bad seat! Wheelchair accessible...

The venue is a nice and comfortable size, the concert and music was good, however there was constant cigarette smoking, electronic cigarette smoking, and weed usage by concert attendees. That should not be permitted at all in any theater, that's why you go outside to do those things. Not very happy with my first experience at PlayStation theater.

Pathetic customer service. Get your sh** together!

Awsome venue. Saw. KWS. EVEN BETTER ATMOSPHERE. THE HOLY SPIRIT WUZ FLOWING

Awesome venue. Comfortable for everyone. Bathrooms were even great. The only downside is the drinks. Plan on $25 plus per drink per person unless its soda.

Really nice theatre. I went there to the Sunday celebration of Hillsong United. Amazing. Simply amazing. One of the best moment of my life. So blessed to be there. Only remembering that moment I got shivers on my skin.

Friday Night Tailgate party. Fun, entertaining, informative. Not what is usually filling the space.

Not a bad venue, just wish it was all standing GA and the lobby is pretty cool as well. I recommend it.

Great theater with some really fun bands/ acts that come through. inside there is not a bad seat or place to stand. Which is really saying something. overall I enjoyed my experience there except for how long it takes to get inside and then to leave. but that's only a minor annoyance and things can always be worse. Also the drink prices were high but what are you going to do?

Went to Hedera Hashgraph launch here. Fantastic venue for 1000ish people. Great and friendly staff.

I saw Nightwish, albeit for the first time, at this venue this past March for their Decades World Tour, and I had the time of my life. The venue was spacious and well-kept, and I even saw a PS4 demo booth while inside, though I never found the time to mess around playing some game demo. Getting the newly-released Decades compilation as soon as I got in was a nice surprise, too.
10/10 would attend a show here again.

Great place, nice people, awesome concept. Very big space even if you want to sit down there are lots of seats.

Loved it helpful staff clean facilities and a Amazing Show.

Best church experience, right in the heart of Times Square!

Great sound and great sight lines for a venue this size (2100 capacity). Only downside of my most recent experience is venue staff need to be more wary of smokers inside the venue. There were literally people lighting up cigars (very strange) and/or cigarettes every time the lights went down for the next band to play. Bummed me out and was hard to get away from. I did like that the pizza they were selling was a normal price ($3 each or 2 for $5), and not inflated venue/festival rates. I always like attending shows at this venue - definitely moreso than Terminal 5, Irving Plaza, or Hammerstein Ballroom...

Pleasant place to visit. Perfect visit can be in weekends

Staff here was amazing. Place is well maintained and clean. Will definitely come back.

Mid-sized venue- my one gripe is that you actually have to leave the main space to get a beverage (even water).
Bathrooms are clean with ample facilities for the size of the venue.
Coat check can take some time.

Just left from a Sabaton concert and it was the best concert from Playstation Theater yet.

One of my favorite spots to see a live show. Good sound and there's always a fun crowd there.

Awesome. Concert. Venue. I went there for the very first concert that I saw, which was an All Time Low concert, part of the Spring Fever tour, and it was really good.

Not really a theater. Mostly standing space. Nice view of stage and acoustics. Very sleek and new. Bottle of water is five bucks...

Ok but dated place. Bad pizza, bad cel reception. Crummy seats but the acoustics are good. This is NYC so no parking.

Saw Monsta X tonight and they were phenomenal but I wish it was somewhere else. We were standing in line for an hour and a half snaked around the building and down 3 more blocks. With that many people they had 2 people checking bags. We got in just in time to find our seats and then they took the stage so I was thankful for that. I really expected it to be a lot bigger with how long it took us to get in. I'm used to the Times Union Center in Albany which is easily 4 times the size and I've never had an issue with insane line times. We were sitting in the mezzanine and could see the stage fine if we were standing but not at all if we were sitting because of the people in front of us. And what gets me is there was a nice big display overhead that would have been PERFECT if it were used to show the stage to those who couldn't see it as well but it was not turned on. So yeah the concert was great but I am going to avoid that place like the plague.

Clean bathrooms (rare for most music venues)
Also love how the stage is desperate from everything else. The merch tables are by the bar so the stage and dance floor is less congested. Got through security quick & easy and they were still diligent in checking bags as well. Great venue

A great place that is so on the ground it s almost deafening. What a gem in Times Square!

Went to visit Hillsong church here it was fantastic

Wonderful venue! Loved the venue, but the show I saw was mediocre.

Excellent venue for Letterkinney Live. Would have given 5 stars, but the bar and merchandise area being opposite each other made for a very crowded section. Especially those trying to juggle drinks back to their seats.
I would definitely return for another show.

I don't even have the words to express how good is this place

Nice big hall for concerts but security Is very tight

Underground venue in Times Square that was found to be a surprisingly pleasant and well designed space for music concerts.

very good place whenever there is a show of people that I am a fan of, and the people are very organized.

We could see a concert, it's nice and above all extremely well positioned.

Most of the staff was kind and the bathrooms were clean so I have no complaints!

Great cool venue. Bigger than I expected. Times square location is phenomenal.

I ve been seeing shows here for over ten years. It s a great NYC venue, intimate and classy with great sound and a good view from anywhere in the house. sad that it s closing but hopefully will reopen soon.
