Symphony Space Reviews

Beautiful place very cozy and mut staff attentive and professional

Nice local gem, great music and celebs next to you. Very decent pricing

Venue is fine, process of security and entry caused the show to start over 30 minutes late while they tried to get people inside.

The barman downstairs need a course on customer service. He was rude and no manners.

The ushers have no idea what's going on. You'd be better off putting on a blindfold and finding your seat yourself because it will be more effective than asking someone. Also the interior is really old and the "bar" is cash only.

Amazing!!! I got to meet my favorite author here so it's the best place for me

Really big house and great stage with lots of lighting resources.

A real gem of a place, great live performances and films in a unique and historic setting. I hope Symphony Space, the Peter Jay Sharp Theatre and the Thalia keep thriving in the midst of encroaching development and big box monoculture and gentrification.

Very clean and spacious. Nice little bar area. Might come here again.

A great venue with comfortable seating. A little bit on the smaller side for a theater but it's very interesting that there is a little store in the lobby.

Good theater. I went there for coverage of a movie premier . Good place for media point of view . Press gallery is well equipped with all the facility fir video and audio equipment.
Also good for public point of view . Enough space , seats are comfortable, audio system works good . Convenient location.

Very nice venue, nothing to complain about. Right next to a Starbucks.

Went here for a book event at the a Thalia Theatre. Easy to get to on the Red line,

Fantastic free concert last night! This place is so amazing to have on the UWS.

A really nice, comfortable performance space with a cool bar. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the place seemed well-run. We did not care much for the "Selected Shorts" show we saw, but I would happily go back to see something else again at this venue-- nice to have a spot like this in the Upper West Side.

Great location. They have seats and bathrooms. Everything else bring your own

Symphony Space is a New York City treasure! My wife and I have been members for 15+ years and have enjoyed Selected Shorts, movies and concerts there. They have really expanded/broadened their offering and you see a lot more younger people in the audience. Definitely worth checking out their programming.

Great event space where many NPR broadcasts are performed.

A small theater where you can find performances of different cultures.

Nice theater with side mezzanine levels and bar in basement.

My son Graduated from Symphony Space in Junr 2018, Outstanding.

Great exposition from the best classical Music take place live in this reconditioned theatre... love it.

Great place, I was there for the mayoral state address.

Loved the atmosphere and the show was "Sounds(?) of Sinatra.
Had VIP tickets and sat at a table. Excellent show, great food.

Cool performance space but the procenium arches flanking the stage seemed to block more than expected. Hopefully the folks take that into account when staging their shows there.

The seats in the balcony were angled for optimal viewing. And acoustics were good (although I couldn't tell you if it was amplified).

It it was great until dr. Ruth came on... That brought the whole show down... Matthew is so contemporary and dr. Ruth is so in the past... Matthew doesn't need any help... He was fabulous on his own and his body language showed how uncomfortable he was as the show was not going in the direction he wanted it to go... Beginning video at the start of the show was great! Video on his Resort needs to be updated as it did not seem as professional as one would expect it to be... Needs new marketing team! Keep up the good work Matt... You're helping so many people!

It was my first time in the stage area of Symphony Space. I was impressed that the seating and the climate control were comfortable and the acoustics were quite good.

In the George Harris Show, Venezuelan comedian, excellent room, the sound very good, spacious and organized.

It was my first experience attending a show at this venue and I absolutely loved it! The atmosphere was amazing and during intermission, you can mingle with other attendees as well as purchase wine!

I like that this performing arts center is on the small side but it's big enough for what you need and not so overwhelming. The space is clean, inviting and even has a little lounge area if you need a drink and bite to eat. I love that the bathrooms are clean and spacious and there is a Starbucks next door.

It was really nice. The seats were comfortable and the coordinators were very proffesional. Also the bathroom was not as terrible as I thought it would be

Amazing, amazing,amazing! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Upper West side venue for eclectic mix of performances. The acoustics for live music are not very good.

Matthew Hussey's Myths of Love was held here. What a wonderful evening. What a beautiful old theatre.

Very nice venue, easy to get to, clean and friendly. Worth going uptown for.

A good space to have musicals recitals and the such, but the concession prices are very high.

There are many great performances that are held at Symphony Space. My wife and I recently went to The Best American Short Stories Of 2019 where three actors read three stories that were included in a recent anthology. The theater was packed and I sensed that the majority of the audience were frequent attendees of other events at the theater. Check out their website!

Small, but intimate theater. Not a bad seat in the place.

Beautiful theater, great sound system, nice place to see a performer or play, nice staff overall

This is a cute little theater. We sat in the balcony. While some of the seats have a limited view up there (you get a warning before buying a ticket), ours was perfect. Great sound quality. I especially like this venue for a kid's show, it is large enough to feel like a big show, but small enough to feel intimate. My only real criticisms would be, consider where you put the merch table- it jams up the door. Also, I think the meet and greet space was oversold.

We performed our Stage Play "The CheckList "here. Great experience. Sold out crowd. Loved it.

The venue is clean, a decent size, and staff was very professional. Highly recommended!

Pretty nice place, convenient location for public transportation, Performances take place in the 760-seat Peter Jay Sharp Theatre or the 160-seat Leonard Nimoy Thalia. Programs include music, dance, theater, film, and literary readings. In More

Interesting events held here. Wait line is outdoor so depends on weather

Under 30 tickets for 20 bucks, for the same price of a movie we had a really fun night listening to kyle maclachlan read short stories. Seats were Row F. Small venue, everyone has a good view.

The Magnetic Fields were fantastic! The seats, not so much, uncomfortable....

Small intimate setting. Great place to hear live acts. We go to see Glenn Alexander and Oria Aspen Alexander every time they are there.

Wonderful music. Sound was good and bad at various parts of the songs. But wonderful execution (Orchestra Now).

Great venue. There's also a bar downstairs, and great pizza and bar options nearby

A beautiful large multiuse theater, music, and dance space in New York City.

I love this place even know i did notcome yet but it looks amazing.........also i go to success academy crown highs

The symphony space has always been a great place to enjoy the best quality art and music.
