Reviews of Newark Symphony Hall

Lenst-skay Villard

The inside is so beautiful, there are a lot of chairs for the audience/spectator's to even there is so different doors out there where you be confused about the entrance at least you still will be in .

Wendell Collins

This the place to be on a Friday also we work our company and the line dance was the best see you next month

K Lor

The theater is beautiful, the bathrooms were small for the audience size, but it was doable. The issue is the feeling of safety in the neighborhood and the parking. The area felt a bit empty and we were not completely comfortable. There was a building next door that was empty.

Alma Stone

My daughter graduation was held here.. I'm glad it's reopening. A very special landmark in the city of Newark

Andi Sjamsu

Love the details of the architecture. Reminds me a bit of scaled down Radio City Music Hall. Not quite sure about all the posters of former Mayor Ken Gibson in the entrance hallway. He was Mayor decades ago when I went to college at NJIT.

Doris Nicholson

Danced all night, line dancing and meeting new people 😀 …

Stephanie Hall

Venue was nice but needs some renovations cosmetically and update their mics/amps . Nevertheless, the concert was an amazing experience!

S Alexander

Went to soul line dancing for the first time. It was amazing. I loved it. The instructors were great and the other dancers( beginners, intermediate, and advanced) were all nice. Its held once a month, they had food, beverages, vendors. The flyer posted was handed out for other events.

Shalonda Jakes

Very nice place for events.

Pace Won

I saw Biggie and WuTang here bac in like 1994.

Lovely Makeda

It seems as though the building has been neglected, my seat was on the balcony, first row..... what a knee killer, seats are very compact, notwithstanding; the experience of being in such an awesome place where all the great performers once mesmerized audiences was amazing. I went there to see the the McDonald's Gospel Fest, it ran late into the night, but it was worth it. A good times was had by all.

Alicia Sills-Franklin

My baby sister graduated from high school. Only thing bad I got a ticket from Newark Police we was at a graduation.

Yvonne Jackson

Marie Widley Dance Studio in East Orange have their annual recital at Symphony Hall every year. The performance are ran very smoothly. On hot days, Symphony hall accommodates the patrons with air conditioned halls. I always have a great experience while there.

Habeeballaah Taahaa

Newark Symphony Hall is an iconic place in the city of Newark NJ. Anyone who was anyone in the music industry had a show there. Its architecture is fantastic and has stood the test of time. Nowadays it needs renovations but for the occasional show , plays and graduations it's a nice upscale place to go.

Anita Reed

We went to a play for our nephews. All the children did a great job of Wizard of OZ. We loved it bathroom was good and clean there was an attendant. It was nice.

Phillip Battle

Soul and Spirit uplifting. ❤🖤💚 …

George Younger

Aside from seeing the r&b group Blue Magic here back in the day,it sure looked good seeing my son march across that stage and graduate from the 12th grade! Great Oaks Charter Academy High School...

Kwame Baptiste

A beautiful and historic space. Attended a wedding there and both the main hall and the reception space downstairs were amazing. Great wedding venue. it can accommodate a large crowd too.

Petrina Baerga

Theater is lovely, needs an upgrade but I guess it’s an historic building so it serves its purpose, even though we didn’t get to see the show because the venue canceled

Tylow Lowman

Don't think it compares to any of the surrounding venues. But they tried hard

Steve Joyce

We saw the Vice Ganda show on 5/17. The ticket booth is a few doors down on the right(if facing the Newark Symphony Hall). I forgot our tickets back in Albany, NY so I switched to will call using the Ticketmaster app. Pickup was easy with valid driver's licence. The ushers were nice and the hall is not massive. The seats were ok, but I pulled a muscle earlier in the day so sitting for 4 hours was uncomfortable. Legroom is not great. (I'm 5'5). All in all a good time.

Ta-Tanisha Harrell

Could use some updating. The place has been the same since I was a child, and I'm 47. Carpets are not even clean. The deep red looks really dark and blackened in some areas.

Cora Beauty Agency

It's ok. It needs to be renovated. We (the McDonald's Super Gospel Choir) sing there sometimes as well as other enrertainment such as Hezekiah Walker, Melba Moore & The Dutchess of Gospel Cissy Houston to name a dew.

M P

Newark Symphony Hall is in need of Renovations.....The City of Newark,NJ should be able to help fund theae most necessary Renovations.....the walls and ceilings look.as though they are about to fall apart. This is an Historic Building that still have events taking place,but parts of the building really are in dispair! Also the surrounding areas around the perimeter of the building also needs to be cleaned up!.....I was was disappointed with the building and the area......the shows that took place there where amazing alot of hard work.with all people.involved!

Linda Toscano

I have fond memories .. as a young girl I was in an accordian concert on stage with Major Music studios (Circa 1956?)... then on the tv show Junior Frolics....then tv show Uncle Floyd show maybe 1982. Wish we had it on video .

djmikealba

The history within these walls must be amazing. I'm really pulling for them that they restore it to its former self by the centennial anniversary in 5 years!

Sean Walker

Graduation ceremony for my little girl very nice...

Padmini T

Beautiful Historic building in desperate need of repairs. Wonderful staff, very polite and helpful. Hope the much needed repairs and restoration are in the works! Convenient parking! (Y)

Mary Fayton

Not a bad seat in the house. Enjoyable show - Festval of Praise

Angel Torres

Nice auditorium that can be used for a variety of events. The pageant I went to here was managed well and was a fun event overall. I'd come back to check out any future events

Vanessa Williams

My neighbor's son graduation it was nice

Shikira Scott

The event was a 10 but the venue was a 3 It needs to be renovated.... 💺 was very uncomfortable it felt like we were setting on each other laps …

Jeniffer Sumner

Excellent play, reasonably priced. Parking across the street is $5 but usually a long line. There's also parking around the corner.

Shonda Barker

I went to a show here the building is very old needs to be fixed up New carpets and curtains also but the show I went to was very nice and tickets is reasonable...

Ms. Angela Mason

Such a family friendly atmosphere! Soul line dancing/country line dancing is fun! What a great way to meet people!

R Scott

Been there a couple of times Nice venue for a show but not in the best area.Could use a little updating inside.

Cynthia Almodovar

It was clean and seating was comfortable

Charlene Simmons

Had a wonderful time awesome

Carl Beltran

A cultural landmark in Newark's Broad Street area that could use an interior upgrade. Event paid parking is available directly across the venue but impossible to cross the street without vehicle traffic control by city police. Loading dock entrance is on Chestnut Street.

Jennell Jackson

I saw the Nutcracker there and it was amazing. I am not fond of the seat as the rows are close together but it's a very old theater.

Emma Barnes

How can you improve? The ballroom next door needs remodeling the walls next to the ladies!? omg! the ladies room is a mess, the carpet is dirty and old...hell everything needs to be gutted.

nurah Johnson

it changed very sophisticated

kevin boykins

Historic building needs a make over..... New rugs, paint, dance floor, lighting,etc.... Still a great place for a performance

no name

The establishment itself i saw no problem with. The place looked well-maintained and pretty so it was an overall good time

Andrea Mason

Soul Line dancing on every 2nd Friday is the highlight of my month. I enjoy the outing and I cant beat the price of $5 or $8 for 5+ hours of fun.

Daryl Johnson

It's a Historical Landmark of Newark where many greats have crossed that stage. Needs some updating but still a great place to go!

Salhah Muhammad

The lobby of this venue is a nice place to have a private event. It will accommodate 100 people comfortably.

Patricia Hargrove

Love this place great dance floor. The ladies room is always clean and well stocked.

Sruli Bard-wigdor

the hall is a bit dated, but it is still nice. We had a great time visiting.

That venue should have two bathrooms for females¹ but the one they have is always clean

Monica Reese

My daughter and I attended the Black Film Festival Award Show. The event was pleasantly organized.

Awning needs to be replaced. You can't even notice the place w/o it.
