The John F.Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Review

Amazing facility.
I hope to perform here one day.

Lovely place. There are concerts held every day almost. The ticket price varies but there is one free concert for public at around 5:30 pm EST everyday. Check on internet before you go. I attended one "The Italian Band" and it was amazing. The ambience , the atmosphere, the Kenedy center is next to Potomac river so view of river and Georgetown waterfront is mesmerizing. But concert is really nice one should attend and especially when you get a chance to check it out for free.

Fantastic performance! All star cast to include Patti Austin Bebe Winans, Freddy Cole, Dulel Hill, Eric Benet, Terri lyne Carrington and Freddy Cole.

Russian lounge with white interior is amazing. Especially beautiful enormous painting! Ladies were so helpful and answered questions regarding design and other questions about Kennedy Center.

Great place to see musicals Broadway shows alot of great performances

Art is abound at the Kennedy Center with it's new Reach art center it just keeps getting better.

National Symphony Orchestra in the Concert Hall. Wonderful evening!

The pictures of the stage, the side-scenes, the orchestra pit and the loading area give a unique insight behind the scenes.

The Kennedy Center is magnificent. Pure Class.

If you take a cab or ride share to the venue they will open the car door for you when you arrive.

There is parking under the center if you are driving.

All employees are super helpful and very courteous.

Somewhat decent food is avaliable, and there are a few gift shops inside.

My first time at the Kennedy Center was for my high school graduation in summer of 93. Since then I have seen many shows here, my all time favorites being Nas performing Illmatic with the NSO and Kinky Boots.

It doesn t matter how many times I come here I get amazed and impressed over and over again.

I wish it had better food options.

Another amazing experience . I had a great time once again , the entire team is fantastic . The parking is kind of easy compared to other centers.

Been to several shows here and each one has been great. I really wish I had the money to go to more of them. I don't normally buy anything in gifts shops, but the one here has some really unique Christmas stuff which was cool.

Excellent venue for theatre. Check out the daily performance at Millennium stage to try it out for free!

The concert hall here is very beautiful and all of the shows and concerts are great.

Every visit is different and exciting. Quality programming with an entertaining twist

It was a my 1st visit to watch the sleeping beauty ballet. The people were nice and helpful.

It was super good. I loved the show and the Kennedy center. I enjoyed myself today. Thanks to my daughter Monica.

Wonderful place for the arts. The original show date was cancelled but the Kennedy Center in a less than an hour reschedule d the show

Parking is $23 dollars for a week night event but it was quick in and out of the under ground parking garage so you are protected from the weather and the performance was excellent! As you would expect, the drinks are expensive but they sell a lidded reusable plastic cup that you can bring back and buy discounted drinks at future events; very green! The staff are plentiful and very helpful in finding your way around and to your seats.

I love that this place is easily accessible by public transit....and that there are free shows DAILY at 6pm.

Great venue, especially the free shows that they put on. There is a free show every single night if the year at 6pm. They are great! Admittedly, most of there acts are local talent, but I have never been disappointed by what I have seen! The other shows are even better! I have not seen them actually there, but have seen the same shows at other locations. Would love the opportunity to see more here.

Very nice faculty. I have no complaints. The entire staff was friendly.

The free performances are wonderful! We really enjoyed them. Great place to take your family if you're not looking to spend a lot of money. Warning, you may end up standing if you don't get their early

I saw Hamilton, it was excellent. You could take food and drinks in with you, which I was pleasantly surprised by.

Enjoyed the view, coffee, food, and the performance

The center is nice. The seats are uncomfortable unless you're very thin.

One of the best performing arts centers in the country only second to the great Lincoln Center in NYC.

World class arts and entertainment to experience at this venue.

Even if you don't attend an event, be sure and take the doecent tour. The building history is educational, the building is stunning, and the information you receive on how the system operates is amazing. So much history just oozes out that you move this up to a top 10 stop in DC. PS......metro to Foggy Bottom stop and free suttle put you right in front.

Beautiful Opera house. Watching Hamilton in the nation's capital was amazing.

I have always loved coming to see shows here. The Kennedy Center is like no other. It holds magic!

Beautiful memorial to JFK but it's alive with performances, education programs, and beautiful art from around the world.

What an incredible gift inspired by the Kennedy Foundation! There are multiple theatres varying in size, and special rooms dedicated to other countries. You can take a self-guided tour, but I recommend contacting your senator to schedule a guided tour. Aside from the rotating shows, they offer complimentary concerts most evenings also. It's easily accessible from the Metro and offers stunning views from the rooftop.

What a wonderful experience with the family, enjoying a play at the Kennedy Center

Honestly, it doesn t always feel that DC even deserves the Kennedy Center. It is consistently able to put on Broadway scale productions and draw world renowned talent. Millennium Stages offers free shows daily. The space is massive and it s just cool to be there in an indoor space as physically large as it is. Nothing quite like it.

Great venue with scenic views. The top shows/performers play there. The building and garage are getting some much needed updates.

Lookout for free shows at 6 pm everyday. Amazing building and various shows throughout the year. Free shuttles from Foggy Bottom Metro Station to the Kennedy center.

The Kennedy Center provides the Washington, DC community with excellent access to all forms of performance, particularly music. Hosting both one of the nation's best symphony orchestras and opera company, a Saturday night here will infuse your soul with culture!

Phenomenal performance of "The Book of Mormon". I was truly amazed at how under dressed some people were at this beautiful facility. Restrooms were clean and easily accessible. Drink prices were on par with most theaters. Overall a wonderful evening.

Great place for orchestral concerts and opera performances.

Bellismo auditorium, free shows by emerging artists in the evening.

Fantastic place to see live performances. Everyone is extremely helpful.

Awesome place. Tickets can be pricey but the place is an experience itself. I love the rooftop views!

The venue is great! Well done, inviting, great seats everywhere. Tonight we saw Aladdin. The show was amazing. The set was incredible and very well done, the costumes were outstanding, and the acting and singing were very good as well. My only complaint about the show was that it felt like the first half was a little drawn out, and the second half a little bit rushed. I would have liked to have seen the part at the end where Jafar gets turned into a genie to have a little bit more depth to it. But all in all it was an excellent show and if I were Cisco and Ebert I'd give it 9 out of 10. Go see it you'll enjoy it!

CATS, CATS AND MORE. CATS, ALWAYS SOME CATS TO SEE.

It was a full house the night of Ina Garten's book interview ! The valet parking will save you time and oh they're fast and efficient! I loved this venue

Beautiful theater with fantastic acoustics for live performances.

The JFK Center for Performing Arts is as good as it gets when it comes to a world-class venue. It s centrally located, accessible by public transport/bikeshare, has great views over the Potomac, and has impeccable interiors.

If you have an event, come early and come hungry. The cafe/lounge is lovely and the view from the terrace is to die for. Don't be afraid to ask for help finding your theatre. There are a few and the signage isn't great.

Great place for arts. Saw a show and loved it, activities on the weekly.

Went to see San Francisco ballet. Great show! Yoh should go see it while it's still here.

Everything was amazing with one exception, the docents have a holier-than- thou attitude and behave in a manner that implies that the act of doing their job is actually doing you a huge favor.

I love the new and diverse direction in programming at the KC. I saw two phenomenal shows this summer featuring Gregory Porter and then Raphael Saadiq and Ali Shaheed Muhammad brought their magic to the stage.

Historic and elegant performance space featuring several different concert halls in one building. On site parking.

Suggestive the two halls with all the flags hanging Nations .. Worth a quick visit if you are passing through Washington

Beautiful venue. I watched Hamilton in the Opera House and it wonderful! Seats were roomy and very comfortable. If you luck out and are on the end of the seat groups, you get extra arm space.
