The Egg Performing Arts Center Review

Loved it. Better leg room than most. Great, unobstructed views of the stage (from where I sat) and helpful staff. Architecture is delightfully whimsical and a breath of fresh air to the mediocre cattle boxes we re herded into for entertainment.

Look forward to every opportunity to see a performance here. Building is cool and unusual. Not a bad seat in the house. Saw Lisa Lampanelli and David Sidaris here, both great shows. Ticket prices reasonable, seats comfy, drinks before show fair selection and price.

I have never attended a bad show or event here, the employees are always professional yet friendly and the venue is always clean and kept up well!

Excellent venue for small acts. Acoustically well balanced. No bad seats. Will definitely be back.

Easily my favorite music venue in the capital region. Only downfall is the crowd tends to be a little stuffy but not enough to take away a star. I love The Egg!

Almost Queen was great. Always an awesome seat at the Egg.

Michael Schenker Fest was fantastic.... Can wait to see what rock band comes next to the egg. The venue let you be up close and personal with the artists.

Great venue, friendly staff and comfortable surroundings.

Excellent venue! First time for me at The Egg. Every seat in the house is close enough, and very good acoustics. Pat Metheny, as usual was great!

Always see great shows there. This time was a Cream" anniversary show. Ouststanding!

Terrible place to see a rock show of any sort...no food or drinks allowed in venue, no outdoor area for smoking, and it's a really stuffy environment (like being in a govt which it is).

This is an decent venue. Some people got nauseous at this venue due to the layout. Poor parking for most events.

We saw Almost Queen and the sound was excellent. The theater is really nice and we had plenty of leg room. They have free parking. You can park and walk to any restaurant before the show or just check out Albany. We ate at Jack's Oyster House before the show and the food was great. I am looking forward to seeing other shows there.

Not a bad seat in the house but you have to stay in it. No standing and/or dancing.

Fantastic David Crosby concert with the lighthouse band.

First time. We always drive around
Had lucheon there. Beautiful. My back was to the screen. Viewing screens should be all over.

New York build some weird stuff back in the day, but this is good weird

The egg rocked Melissa! Wish there wasnt 1 elevator and 1 staircase to get in and out...

Pretty cool place, 1st time there and was impressed!

It's a great place to see a show just wish they had some restaurants open.

Enjoyed the facility and the Gordon Lightfoot concert

Went to see a concert.. Great seats and the sound was awesome!

Capital
Albany New York
Nice place for visit

Lobby of small theater is cramped, building itself is stuffy and looks hideous

Great seats...lots of leg room, ushers to help . Dont think there is a bad seat in the heart theater. Found easy peeling but website didnt tell you much about the parking availability. Will only go to the egg. Will never spend another penny going to the times union center again
TU seats are narrow and you kiss your knees the whole time. The egg had comfortable seating with great leg room.

The architecture in Albany is something to behold. Make sure to take a walk around the Plaza.

Great shows, friendly staff, easy access, plenty of covered parking

Went to see Kevin Smith for the Reboot Roadshow. Easy to get to, parking inside in bad weather. Nice theater!

Went to an event for my grandson and staff was very friendly and helpful.

This is a wonderful auditorium to see a show. They have great deals for kids performances.

Show I saw here was phenomenal. To quote the person on stage "the worst present you can get for someone who just got an abortion is a to go box." It's a nice small space and all seats are fairly close to the stage. I drove two hours to get here and was not disappointed.

Great venue to watch a performance, tons of stairs if you are a performer- from dressing rooms to backstage or the house

Great venue that didn't have a bad seat in it. We saw a cirque-style show which was entertaining and it was close enough to stage to really enjoy the show.

The "You Shall Overcome" Performance was awesome!!!

Went here for an animal exhibit. It was a great time for everyone!

Beautiful place, contemporary and classic architecture at the same time.

What a comfortable space to see a show! Lots of leg room, and if you're short, as I am, you'll have no trouble seeing. Architecturally, It's one of the finest examples Brutalism I've ever seen.

Great King Crimson concert! The Egg is the perfect venue, every seat is good, the sound is great and parking is super convenient.

The building itself is very nice and fairly easy to navigate. I didn't particular like the way they run the parking garage. My daughter attended a 2 day conference and they charged us the parking fees when we dropped off and again when we picked up.

Shoot dance shows in the egg from time to time. Good place for festivals and dance shows. Surroundings are really famous for wedding/romantic shoots.

Great time seeing American Girl Live. Cozy theater.

Great performance by John Pizzarelli Trio and Catherine Russell! The Sawyer room provided an intimate setting for another of John's consistently high energy performances. He knows his music !

What amazing architecture and acoustics in the Egg! The lineup getting into the venue was confusing though, and everyone was milling around asking where to go and what to do. Other than that, it was a really great evening there!

The Egg is such a fabulous venue for entertainment! It is located in downtown Albany and is recognized by its shape: egg-like. My husband and I have seen many groups perform and gave always been delighted by the variety and musical excellence of the performers. Tonight we heard Marty Stuart and his band. We saw Marty Stuart on the PBS series 'Country Music' and were impressed by Marty's contributions to the documentary. The show was very well-done. Marty and his band were well-rehearsed, played brilliantly, and sang with excellent harmonies. I am not a country music fan, but the music and stories were more than country; they were engaging and impressive. If Marty Stuart is coming to your town, but a ticket and enjoy the show!

This morning, I brought my grandson for his first "cultural" experience. He'll be 3 this month. The hour long performance in children's theatre was, I thought, an excellent initiation to live performance. The venue was great also.

The egg is so cute, and it actually looks like a huge UFO if you see it from the highway or the bridge. It is extremely beautiful when it reflects the sunlight!!!!

Not a bad seat in the house. An excellent venue for concerts. In and out of parking quickly.

The Egg is an Albany landmark, currently being fixed up. The auditoriums are not open to tourists; admittance is granted with an event ticket only.

It is a giant egg in the middle of Albany. If you don't like this place you're just a grump.

Old and unusual. One of only a few remaining egg - shaped spaces. Even with the troublesome roof and bizarre interior, the acoustics are good and the acts that come here are enjoyable. We love the family and children centered shied shows most!!

Good place for conference. Felt very safe in the area

My favorite place for concerts. There isnt a bad seat in the house. The whole building is work of art.

The stores closed so early. Before it was even 5:00

Best place to see a concert..You can see from anywhere.Not a bad seat...just saw Johnny Lang he was incredible the sound was great.
