Reviews of Jack H. 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.

Barney Simon

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.

Larry Mantrone

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

Jerome Espinosa Baladad

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?

Very nice yet very simple theater behind Washington Square Park, where I saw Ailey II this year, just after my 30th birthday. Amazingly, I was able to drive and find free street parking spots that were available. As I was walking, two ladies were around, trying to find supporters for their blood drive - true college/community atmosphere but it was still quiet and calm outside on this Saturday afternoon. Inside, the place was packed without feeling overcrowded. I appreciated that I had elbow room in my seat.

Siavash Golkar

A great venue for many fantastic performances. Buy your tickets early as the good shows always sell out. Pro tip: there aren't any bad seats in the house but the best ones are the center seats in the 4-6th row.

Pinky Chan

Awesome venue for any show. The place is a nice size with a grand staircase to go towards the "theater". The bathrooms are clean and spacious too. I approve and look forward to coming to more shows at this center!

Carl Adams

Truly a wonderful resource for the Washington Square community! This center within the NYU Kimmel Student Union complex is ideal for a variety of events: film, theater, lecture hall, exhibits and so forth. We have attended more than a dozen events here and have nothing but praise for the venue and it's staff. Past year's artistic direction is just complete first-class. We urge more of the same for joy and delight all around...

Anita Bušić

Great acoustics, nice atmosphere, polite ushers, beautiful place. Went to hear the Songs of the Soul Concert dedicated to the music of Sri Chinmoy, a Bengali born composer of amazing spiritual music. Really enjoyed in the sounds of various instruments and beautiful voices. Only one thing which is good to know, the hall is under ground - meaning, no cell phone signal while you are down there. If you are meeting someone and they are running late, you will need to go up all the way to the entrance to speak with or text to them.

Johny Bloom

I saw the Bloodlines by the Stephen Petronio Company and it was breathtaking. The choreography, the music, the costumes and the performance was outstanding. The staff was helpful and kind. We had the best seats available. It’s conveniently placed next to a train station.

Ryan Watts

Awesome venue. I saw Daniel Tosh live at this venue. Regardless of where you are sitting in the venue you are almost guaranteed to get a great view of what is happening in stage. It’s a great location as well very easy to access and get to via the train.

David Spence / דוד ספנס

A fine theater, well-designed, excellent acoustics, yet the soundman failed terribly with lackluster audio for such a decent compliment of audio monitors/speakers. For lectures/speaking/talks etc., it's superb, yet considering today's standard, multimedia, audio needs - perhaps the current audio system requires some fixes and upgrades to add a touch of fidelity, effects and bass for events which use a lot of either music and/or audio elements. I'd give it 5 stars, but the audio simply sucked for the 1st part of the event last Monday. I told the sound/audio guys to add fidelity and bass. They listened, happily obliged and the second-half went well (much better,) yet still lacked the heart, punch and fullness it needed... Perhaps it may have been the audio guys....? IDK but they better get on with exceptional AUDIO....! Lastly, I really loved the interior; it's simply beautiful with an elegant, minimalist, American design and feel...

Rizwan Ali Shaikh

Great Hall...and event was also good..nice arrangements..

Erela Portugaly

The theater is nice (the show wasn't great). There is plenty of bathrooms (gender neutral) and they are located near the entrance to the theater which is helpful. There is no WiFi anywhere in the center.

J B

Great performance venue with an awesome, well-curated alternative program that spans all genders, ethnicities, nations, and many experimental art forms. It's refreshing to have this kind of avant cultural option in NYC.

SÉRGIO PARREIRA

Haven't been lucky with the shows... Absolutely hated the last three I saw here. I am tho very excited with 2020 program and already bought tickets for two performances, we'll see!...

YJH

The space was open. Lots of windows so lots of natural light. The interior was do nicely designed too. The acoustics in the hall were great.

Mara Hagen

Beautiful and cozy space to watch shows, great location

Aenne Brielmann

A nice little theater building that hosts talks, theater, dance performances and more. The deals for NYU students are amazing and the program does contain true gems.

Chris Quartly

Pretty steep view from the balcony but nice theatre

Lawrence Chan

I haven't had the pleasure of watching a show here yet, but I hear that they are good. However, as a student of NYU, I have been to the top floors of Skirball, which offers an amazing view of 5th Ave., Washington Square Park, and the Empire State Building.

John Kim

The theater is actualy really spacious. However, be careful about sitting in the back during lecture. YOU WILL FALL ASLEEP. No doubt about it. Get there early and sit near the front. I'm serious.

Karyl Ann

I really like this venue. Its not too big. Its one of those, every seat is a good seat kind of place.

Angel Centeno (Angel)

This auditorium is better than some Broadway theatres out there. The staff is great and their invited speakers are always fascinating.

Mary Carpenter

This is a truly professional theatre with excellent sight lines for the audience. I took away one star because their wine choices at the concession bar was awful.

Crystal Butler

A large, modern space with stadium seating, a raised stage, and screen, the Center has good sound and line of sight for events.

Marc Donner

Ailey Ii dancing was a revelation. We had seats way up front, which was great for seeing, but tough for exiting.

Audrey Becker

Google maps asked me to rate this but I only go there for my biology lectures it's fine I guess good acoustics

Loved the venue and the performance, Bill T.Jones Trilogy. Never experienced anything like it. Hope to get to this theater again.

Damian Driver

Very nice theater at NYU. We went there in June of 2019 to see a National Dance Institute performance.

Brien Ling

Beautiful place but too small to congregate after show. 200 or less. Major construction on street causing traffic headaches

For the first time I went to see a show at NYU skirball, I thought it was fantastic, the kindness at the box office, the theater in general magnificent, I was amazed to see a translator in sign language in the right corner, a thousand and a thousand applause for such a GENTLEMAN I wanted to greet him at the end of the play (MEXICO CITY GAY CHOIR) but they didn't let me in, I'm sorry they hadn't taken him to the center of the stage to receive the well-deserved applause, which I mentioned to one of the ushers, I felt very comfortable with the chair I could get .Sec O boxes....Row OB...seat 9 . I congratulate the organizers for having someone like the KNIGHT of sign language, since although it was not this day, my partner is deaf... Here's a greeting of APPLAUSE for him....
