NYU Skirball Center for the Performing Arts

The auditorium has seating in ground level, boxes, and a balcony. Excellent atmosphere, lighting, and acoustics! I enjoyed the Hindustani musical concert of Zakir Hussain on tabla and Niladri Kumar on sitar here last week.

This modern theater is a great place to see live acts. The view of the stage was great and they have a very good sound system. It is extremely well kept, has a very polite and helpful staff. They do have a bar area that has alcohol which you can not bring in the theater but bottled water is allowed in. They also have gender neutral restrooms which is a great move forward but for some it could be uncomfortable. No one honestly seemed to care at the show I attended.

The Skirball Center at NYU holds a beautiful auditorium with a bar if you're so inclined. The seats are comfortable, the views of offer stage are great from pretty much anywhere, and the sound quality is great. My experience here is mostly with the annual World Science Festival, which I highly recommend you attend!

We went here for a NYU presentation that was more than worthwhile. If you're going to compare universities, be sure to check out NYU first, then see how the others add up. We still haven't decided, but NYU is certainly a top contender.

I've been here a few times to see talks during the World Science Festival, and also once to see Brian Cox. It's a great venue, not too big, not too small. The staff not sure if they're students or not are incredibly friendly and attentive with helping you find your seating area based on your ticket.

Having seen many shows in this venue, I do not think there is a bad seat in the house. They have a diverse menu of programs. Developed to enhance the university and neighborhood community. The new seats are great.

This is a wonderful venue for all sorts of entertainment and educational events.

We watched a dance performance by a group from Europe and the members were mostly Belgian and mature looking but very agile. The cello musician was French. I didn't read anything about the show nor the material. I just saw it because I love anything by Bach. And I wasn't disappointed. It was fantastic, to say the least. I didn't realize the stage was really that big and wide, since the last time I was here was years ago to watch a play on an entrapped miner, which was not a disappointment too. I am sure I will be back if there's another show worth watching according to my tastes and preferences. It has been worth venturing here especially when you have a lot of options to choose from in NYC when you like live performances.

We went to attend a tabletop Shakespeare play, which was fun and unique. The venue seemed nice and intimate and the event was well organised

What's not to love about this place? The space is large, accommodating, and as good as, or better, than some Broadway theaters. Their programming is excellent as I've yet to see a bad performance here. Even the unknown shows, like the one currently running, "Hot Brown Honey," are always absolute gems. From a location standpoint it's near public transportation and across from Washington Square Park, which makes for great strolls before or after the show. There are also tons of nearby places for pre or post-show dining. Inside, the seats are spacious and accessible, and the bathrooms are spotless. Their lighting and stage effects rival anything on the Great White Way and they can do any production justice. Best of all, the staff are always helpful and friendly, from the ticket booth people to the ushers. Like I said, what's not to love?
