Symphony Space Reviews

Comfortable! Saw a super show with a Gambian FEMALE kora player, Sona Jobarteh. Gotta her this artist and when in NY see what SymphonySpace has to offer.

A classic when it comes to venues for hosting various events especially any of a theatrical or musical nature.

Went to see Patti Smith speak for One Book One New York 2019. The ushers were knowledgeable and courteous. The seats packed VERY tight so I was glad I was the 3rd seat from the aisle.

Clean bathrooms. Clean floors. Good views even though I was sitting in the back (row R) and I was able to see Ms. Smith without craning my neck and the acoustics were good. What more can you want from a performance venue?

I love the events they host here. The theater space isn't glamorous, but it's not bad. But any event they host is great.

I go there on tested occasions for Unity Church on Sundays. Fantastic experience each time.

The food is excellent The place is not real big so it gets crowded

Hey brah! I go here every year for my annual Warren Miller ski season kick off movie in November! Great place! Little bar/snack area to pre-game a bit before seeing some tubular shredding!! Woo Jackson Hole! Kinda bummer that it gets so cramped in the theater area (where they squeeze all the sponsor tables). Also. Hint: Dont tell anyone. But there is a bathroom near the snack bar in the lower level that doesn t get so un-awesomely crowded.

Love the variety of shows this theater offers. Went to see rainbow fish with my 3 yo and was so impressed!

An amazing experience at a small, unique, classic theater. Perfect for the entire family.

There are a few theaters in this building. We went to the one downstairs. It is a more compact theater but not tiny. The stage is a decent size - the dance troupe was able to perform no problem. There is a lighting booth and dressing rooms in the wings. There is an exit that leads directly outside.

Great space. Wonderful accoustics. Exceptional programs.

The performances were lovely and the actors, dancers, singers, and instrument players did GOD'S WORK!!! P E R I O D T

My friend's homegoing service was done here. The sound was excellent. The staff was helpful. She would have been proud for such a wonderful send off.

Lovely small venue and interesting performances. Quite varied offerings. We saw a tribute to Irving Berlin, which was excellent.

I had a great time the show was very nice as well as the music

Oklahoma-Sing Along.
Sooo much fun.
The room has a great sound system and there is not a 'bad seat' in the house.

If you like to hear Classical Music played by an Orchestra ??? This Symphony Hall is for you...
Enjoy !!!!!

Saw Lightwire Theater here. They're awesome. This was a good enough venue to see them in as any. Long live electric dinosaurs.

This is one of the best theaters in NYC to see a movie/performance...anything. It was designed with human beings in mind. zI love it there!

Idk. It's a theater not really something I would think to rate. But it had a floor a ceiling. Some lights, pretty much everything I could ask for.

Excellent theater, comfortable seats and easy to reach also has several function rooms, I love that place

Great venue! Awesome atmosphere! I was sitting at the last row and still felt so close.

Fitting place for the CBS Follies Show that occurs twice a year. Backstage spaces are well equipped and spacious enough for a 100-person production.

It's a lovely place, can seated about 600 plus people

Projector failed, and they couldn't offer reimbursement because they don't sell the tickets.

Had a few beers, met Neil Gaiman, had a comfy seat, who could complain?

My Sunday community go to place! 9:30 am, the Quest. Bring your breakfast or something to share "How was your week?" discussion. 11 am service begins. Inspiring music provided by Broadway & off Broadway per- formers. Speakers on self realization. No Amen corner here. Life is what you make it. Think positive. Believe in yourself. DON'T start your week with out it! Cordially invited to coffee & conversation at Whole Food or a tea/coffee/hot chocolate bar after service.

they only had tickets for close to the screen..To.much NOISE***

Performed here today! Very good employees and very Professional !

Went to see Fally Ipupa preform live here. It has an awesome and kind staff. The balcony seats are great, in my opinion, for viewing the stage unobstructed. They have a bar (Bar Thalia) down stairs and a smaller that closes early on the same floor as the stage. The Symphony Space is conveniently located at the 96th Stop of the 1, 2, 3 train.

I was happy leaving the house tonight with my husband to attend and support my friend, the founder of the Strawberry One-Act Festival, when the rude and condescending ticket/door woman ruined the night for us. She impatiently yelled at me just because my phone screen was not bright enough for her to scan.

"Turn the screen brighter! Brighter!!! Brighter!!!!!!" She yelled to my face as if I don't understand English.

I paid less money to see shows at the Carnegie Hall and yet the workers are much more pleasant and accommodating.

I dragged my husband after the first play because all I could think of was the nasty woman at the door. She ruined the whole experience for me.

It was my first time at the Symphony Space and I'm never coming back!

This is a branch of the actual legendary Coney Island food shop. Along with the hot dogs and fries, also has fish and chips, which can be hard to find in this area.

We went to see Emeline Michel perform and it was great! We sat in orchestra row K, in the aisle and we could see the stage very well. The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of legroom for most. The sound and lighting was perfect and didn't disappoint... just wish the show was a little longer!

A great venue, wonderful stage visibility, good acoustics, comfy seats, easy to get around in.

THE SEATS WERE CRAMPED AND THE UPPER LEVEL IS NOT VERY COMFORTABLE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU WITH SOMEONE ELSE. GREAT SHOW THOUGH!

A beautiful space where to catch some of NY best performances.

Saw a show here with my boys, they loved it. Seats were comfy, lighting and sound excellent, would go to another show here anytime.

It was the first time that I ever attended to an or hestra.. I m speechless with how skillful these young adults from Columbia University Orchestra are.. Woww!!! I really enjoyed this event.. Had a really great time... I must also give props to Jeffrey Milarsky( Conductor of the orchestra) which did a great job!!!

They have a lot of positive energy, they were exceptional dancers and I hope to go again very soon.

Sweet Honey In The Rock Was Magnificent! This Is Sweet Honey's 45th Anniversary Concert and Regina Carter Joined Them. Symphony Space Rocked Tonite!

Cute theatre space. Not too big, so feels small and intimate. The chairs are just moderately comfortable, if we had attended a show that was over 2 hours, it might have been too long for those seats. Otherwise, perfect for an enjoyable and intimate show. Plus, there are plenty of food options within one block of the theatre AND the subway is right across the street - both of which make this a very convenient location for a fun night out.

Secret Science Club North presented David Spergel's captivating survey of the current state of astrophysics.

Clean and comfortable seats Harriet spacious with a beautiful atmosphere.

I visited Symphony Space a year ago to see Sweet Honey In The Rock; acoustic was excellent. Yesterday I taxied friends, and this was a pit stop on the tour of NYC.

Wonderful theater !! It's very convenient to the #1 train - really nice place.

So glad you have Capitol Steps performing there! They are hilarious!

I like the show that took place but at the end before the show officlly ended people just got up started leaving and acting very rude that really ruined the moment

Wonderful theater and very well organized, the attendants are very polite and helpful.
The armchairs are very good and have access to wheelchairs and clean bathrooms.
Congratulations on this Theater.

Conveniently located near the subway station. Well run facility. Enjoyable time.

Great venue for live music. My seat was fifth row, second in from the outside row, but my sightlines were still excellent.

Nice events here. Comfortable seating. Could use more bathroom capacity.

Really nice place, seating charts for balcony were off from what I choose, but overall I had a good time.
