This world class venue (excellent acoustics) is close to Barclay Center, Brooklyn Flea, public transportation, Fulton, Atlantic, and Flatbush Avenues. Nearby Fort Greene area is worth the short walk.

Going to BAM is always an experience, as they attract productions that just don't make it to the big Broadway houses. Sometimes for $20 you can see major Broadway and Hollywood stars. I saw Kevin Spacey last year and Kate Blanchett the year before. The Opera House is a vast space (2200 seats I think) but has amazing acoustics, so... More

We attended two operas here last weekend, seated in the mezzanine both times. Seats towards the sides of the rows have better sight-lines than more central seats and seats in the first three rows, out from under the shadow of the balcony, are cooler. I am inspired to find out more about the history of the buildings as the theatre... More

I have seen some wonderful shows here. They have a great lounge, cafe that has great entertainment on the weekends, all kinds of genre's of live bands. I've come here for some great book readings and they have the fabulous and very famous "Dance Africa" here every memorial weekend. It is a huge 4 day festival featuring some of the... More

This is the only part of BAM that I've visited. As in many older theaters, the acoustics and sight lines are not on par with newer venues designed for sound. But it's not bad, and I only had an obstructed view for one of the three performances I attended.

I just went to the theatre last night to see The Suit at BAM. I've been to a number of performances here in both theatres and always find them to be top-rate. I love the size of Harvey theatre as it feels intimate. Generally, the cost of performances is reasonable and I always feel like it's money well spent. Thanks,... More

Not only is BAM (as the Brooklyn Academy of Music is known) the best theatrical presenter in NYC, I truly believe it is THE best in the country if not the world. It focuses on avant-garde theater, dance and music bringing to the U.S. the very best in the world - they helped introduce and/or present some of the most... More

I performed in the Harvey Theatre @ BAM with the 2010 Next Wave Festival. Performing on that stage was a joy and i got to see how much the people who work there really care about those spaces and the production quality. I was so busy while we were there that i never got to see any of the other... More

The play was absolutely wonderful but the seats in the theater were not. While I did not have trouble, my husband and son are over six feet tall, and they said they were never go to another production at BAM because they were so uncomfortable they could not enjoy the play. This means I will have to go with my... More
