The Egg Performing Arts Center Reviews

Very well organized. Easy parking. The bathroom, however felt like it was in a dollhouse- small, cramped should be updated.

Great time, great staff, comfortable chairs, nice inside.

Wow! A awesome underground experience. If you have never been to The Egg in Albany New York I highly recommend it.

Excellent venue that doesn't seem to have a bad seat in the house. The process to get up to the theater from main concourse is a little bit of a burden and time consuming especially after waiting to get into visitor parking lot. Would park on Street and walk into when but hard to manage with 2 little ones and temps in the teens. The venue is worth the wait in line and provides a great overall experience, just factor in extra time for parking and to get into theater.

One of the best places to see a concert - and fair prices too.

Great place, I've been bringing my family and friends here for years, from ballet, to mermaid theater, to the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. Always a great show. Wish there was a bit of signage on which side was left vs right side of Hart theater. But always a great experience.

Not a bad seat in the house. No open drinks in the performance hall good parking lot. Another performance was being held in the building, but did not I interfere with my program

Went to a great concert there. The Egg always has good shows. Good sound.

If you don't know where you're going, easy to get lost. Nice venue, kind staff

Very big place, but after U park your car, U have to remember where U park.

Saw Tim and Eric 2020 Mandatory Attendance Tour. It was hilarious. Great show and venue.

Saw Mutts gone Nuts. Was enjoyable and the place was very clean.

Show was great, but it was a kids show and started late which is tough for the little ones.

Went for my DIL's graduation. Impressive building! If you park in ANY of the nearby structures, take pictures, write down your structure name, streets it's on...do whatever it takes locate your vehicle after!

Great venue that is not too big. They have events frequently.

Walked in and asked if they knew anything about a lump on my back. They thought I was being funny, like pop up improv. Grand but that improv group wasn't great

Great place to see a concert, all seats give you a good view & sound

The "Egg" was very clean. The seats we had were great. I would have to say there wasn't a single bad seat there. I would go back again.

Always wanted to see the inside. Glad I got the chance!

I love seeing a show at the egg. There's not a bad seat in the house. When it's a musical band Acoustics is excellent. Parking is reasonably priced. Take the elevator and you are there. Always a great experience

We Hav the best entertainment and capital in the u.s.a.thanks to our governor

As with any venue, a lot depends on the show you see there. The egg this a good venue though.

The interior isn't too bad, but the outside is downright hideous. It deserves being called the Egg.

Fantastic venue, design gives an intimate feel for their concerts

Great job and venue superb - Bravo Peter Lesser and Team!

What a wonderful place designed to delight the eyes and the ears with perfect sound. What a magnificent space.

One of my favorite places to see music/comedy/ANYTHING! Beautiful building? was to get in and out of, right in the heart of downtown Albany!

A place of history, great, they have to visit it, enter the museum I recommend it.

Been going here many years and this place has amazing sound and great seating no matter where you are . I was there to hear a band called the Suffers. I think the sound was just amazing but wish there was a little more promotion of the band. Small venues are great like this because you can interact more with the artist. Will be going here again.

Great place to see a show. Not a bad seat in either theater. Be prepared to see the artist solo though.

Great staff, helpful and friendly... weird place but cool with excellent acoustics

USUALLY GO THERE 2 SPEAK 2 elected officials and 4 LUNCH! It WAS VERY SPECIAL AS WELL EXTREMELY cold weather ! I had 2 brave IT THOUGH!

Very nice room with a sound of thunder to see Tommy Emmanuel.

I saw a comedy show here and parking was easy and the building was first class.

Great small venue. Loved the projector screen for the far side. We had L orchestra seats, last seats in the row...part of the stage is blocked off by the speakers, but the screens take care of that! Just have. I had a hard time not dancing... that's the only real downside to this venue in my humble opinion.

We Just saw The Egg from outside. But gotta Tell you, don't forget to click pictures at I Love NYC

Great place to see events and shows!! It's also pretty amazing to be in the egg and under the plaza.

Great and happening place. Always have different kind of activities going on for kids and everybody.

Great quirky venue as you're quite literally in a giant cement egg. I've seen two shows there now and each time finding parking was a breeze ($5 for events), the staff are friendly and helpful and there isn't a bad seat for either stage (the big stage or smaller stage). Do be mindful of what elevator you take though as getting back to your car can be a little confusing.

The two venues here are superb. 450 or 950 seats and the sound quality is great. My favorite Capital District venue. Highly recommended.

Beautiful place! A smaller more intimate setting. We saw the Chris D'Elia comedy show (as you can see from the picture, we got to meet him!!!!!) and it was great! We sat in the "pit" about 5 rows back from the stage and it was amazing seats! However it seemed like all the seats would be ol considering it is a smaller venue. The only negative part is how they get you to the correct floor of the Egg, we had to wait in this huge line to be put on an elevator packed with way too many people to get to the correct floor. Rumor had it there was an escalator somewhere that you could use, If so definitely use that. Also the very small Bar there only serves a small selection of beer and wine, as well as a few candy treats. The bar is cash only so use an ATM..... they dont check anything so bring in your own alcohol.... nips!!!

Great venue that feels small and intimate, but brings in big acts. Parking can be a pain, but it's one of our favorite venues in the Capital Region.

The egg is beautiful both inside and out! A great experience

I purchased tickets for go see Burt Kreischer for 1/23, it was icey out that night, multiple winter weather advisories, and completely unsafe to drive, they refused to switch my tickets to the next day or issue me a refund. I will never let these people take my money again, 80$ down the drain.

The unique architecture is appealing though it does lead to a little confusion. I've had many friendly and enjoyable experiences here for concerts, comedy, and children's programming. Parking can be difficult and /or expensive, but that's downtown Albany. Very friendly staff, from ushers to elevator operators and at the box office.

I see my granddaughter's dance recitals there every year I really enjoyed the place

Intimate venue allows for unique experience. Acoustics are the absolute best for a concert.

A really neat place that is deceptively large. A good mid-sized venue with super friendly staff.

It's a convenient venue with decent leg room, but it's in need of updating and additional bathroom stalls.

Very nice place for a graduation! Only downside is finding parking when not familiar with the area.

It s really big on the inside and nice but be ready to walk. The elevator operator is really diligent and very sweet.

My own experience at this place was quite good. We were there for Adrian Belew's performance. In terms of being a performance center, it's way above average - acoustic, spaciousness and lights are better than expected.

Very cool place. Would recommend taking a look if you re in the area.

Love concerts at The Egg. Great acoustics in a surprisingly intimate hall (the wood makes it warm and cozy, physical & audio) I have never had a bad seat here no matter how far back. Very nicely designed performance space.
