tripadvisorSo many strobes - and no warning for ADA compliance, they said it was ‘in the program’ and ‘on the front doors’ - but when I had to walk out at intermission because of the continuous strobes - I saw composting on the door. Do NOT GO if you have migraines, epilepsy or any condition triggered by extensively long blinking light sequences.
MoreWe have been going to the theatre for more than 30 years, by ourselves and often with a group of friends, and always recommend it to other people. Only once we missed the show and tried many times to exchange for other performances and had no luck. After only a few weeks the overdo administration did not give us seats for other shows. They did not talk nicely to us. It was a very unpleasant experience!
MoreLocated in the Chelsea neighborhood, I had a chance to see Pilobolus, a premier dance group that started in CT way back in the 1970s. Their playful and athletic movements doesn't disappoint.Joyce Theater is well laid out and getting tickets through them directly is the best way to go. Staff was efficient and friendly.
MoreJudging by its unassuming exterior, one might mistake it for a local neighborhood theater, but upon stepping inside, you discover a vibrant community powerhouse for dance and music. Nestled in an upscale, progressive-chic neighborhood accessible via MTA A and C trains and the M55 MTA BUS, it proves to be a gem.The neighborhood itself boasts a safe environment with numerous bars and eateries. Accessibility is commendable, especially for those in powerchairs or using a manual one. The theater's staff is exceptionally accomodating. The wheelchair access includes a flat roll-in, security-manned entrance, and both ticket usher and box office window are easily accessible.While the lobby is on the smaller side and can feel cramped, the seating options are accommodating. With in-place or removable accessible seating on both wing sides (right and left), the theater strives for inclusivity. Restroom accessibility remains uncertain as I haven't utilized it, but is available.The performance hall is impressively spacious and comfortable, adorned with pleasant lighting and colors. Accessible seats in the sixth orchestra row offer an unobstructed view. Over time, I've had the pleasure of witnessing performances by local, regional, and internationally acclaimed companies, making it a versatile and enjoyable venue.
MoreThis was only my second visit to this wonderfully intimate dance performance venue. (My first visitt was x years ago!). It looks like they have a constant programme of excellent, varied dance. We were treated to a captivating, sophisticated show. Five pieces by very diverse choreographers/dancers - all to music from Phlip Glass's piano Etudes. All accompanied by live piano. The highly acclaimed pianist exponent of Glass's piano music, Maki Namekawa, was the passionate accompanist. Performing from audience level at a corner of the stage, she was arguably the star of the show - living, channelling, mouthing, eating, loving every note. Her piano solos began and ended the performance – accompanied the dance - and provided interludes between pieces. Fabulous. This is just an example of what the Joyce Theater presents. I'm sure I would have waxed equally lyrical about another performance here. What was also great was to see a just-about full house for such a sophisticated product on a Sunday afternoon in NYC!
