Beautiful big theater that brings some of the best performing arts groups in the world to BKLYN. Good bar on the 2nd floor as well.
Omar HarounNovember 3, 2013Coolest opera house I've been to. In general shows at BAM are half the price and twice as good as most things in manhattan. Get more BAM for your buck- Nadine CampbellJune 1, 2014Saw John Legend Live. Great acoustics. Get Orchestra seats .. Any of rows A thru F , treats you to the best view .
Be careful when buying tickets. There is the front row A, which is very close to the orchestra, but sometimes they add even more rows closer, CC, BB, and AA, in increasing closeness to the orchestra!
- Fathima DadaFebruary 19, 2017What a beautiful performance art centre, in Brooklyn. Gorgeous architecture and live music cafe upstairs.
Jacqueline ToddApril 15, 2012If sitting in left or right balcony bring a sweater/scarf....the A/c vents are blasting to keep the whole place warm. Even the men in front of me had jackets on with hoods up!
Kate WillskyMarch 18, 2016Very pretty theater. Got an "obstructed view" seat that wasn't obstructed at all. Reeeeeally minimal leg room tho.
Katherine LaniganFebruary 22, 2012If seeing a foreign language opera, avoid sitting on the outside seats of the 4th and 5th orchestra rows... You will not be able to see the translation screen!
Alejandro RicoJune 26, 2013Don't get seats next to the speakers :S I know why this front line seats where cheap :S I'm here to have fun tho :)
Trae FJuly 3, 2015Gorgeous theater. Saw Into The Woods reunion with the original Broadway cast here. What a treat!
Dr. Michele IveyOctober 20, 2017wonderful place for concerts... Great sound 🎼..balcony seats however are Treacherous!!! Absolutely a danger ... no railings with the possibility of completely killing yourselves falling over ❗️
James John (Jay) Cudney IVFebruary 11, 2018A few shows have been quite good. Nice views to stage too.
Mezzanine or Balcony seat? Sit back in your seat like a proper homo sapiens. Sightlines here are such that the idiots who hunch forward like apes totally block the view of everyone behind them.
Peter NeufeldMarch 23, 2012The film membership for two is a great deal. See all the first release films with a guest all year.
Village VoiceApril 3, 2012Did you know BAM won a Village Voice Obie Award forAs You Like It in 2010? Can't wait for this year's ceremony!
EatMeDrinkMeNYCJune 10, 2013Here for a show? Stop by the 2nd floor for a glass of wine Pre-show. The prices aren't bad !
Wearing a hat? Consider taking it off for the performance.
Become a member, and you'll have better seats or first crack with the tickets
DavidSeptember 20, 2012If you're in the nosebleeds, elective amputation may let you fit in the seats better.
