No matter where you sit you get a great view of the stage. We saw Gladys Knight show. She was fabulous 👌🏿
This is a great venue for a concert. Seems like every seat has a clear view. I must say though that the VIP / Lounge area is a bit disappointing. The service and staff were very friendly but the choices of food items were slim. Reheated frozen pizza, chicken nuggets a very non appetizing charcuterie board. IMHO I would not again go the extra expense. Think they would do well with a kitchen that at the very least provided burgers and fries.
Awesome experience. Just saw Fred Hammond and Hezekiah Walker. Boy did they jam it up. Outstanding! God truly was glorified. Also, the staff were so helpful and friendly too. My whole experience was magical. Loved the night. If you have yet to be blessed by Fred Hammond and the rest of the Praise and Worship dynamos, please go see them. You will truly be blessed.
It was LEGENDARY.. the Queen Gladys Knight hit the stage and showed out as expected.. Its a small place but the seating was amazing as I was literally close to the stage.. I will be going there again.. I strongly recommend this place. And that depends on whos gonna be performing..
I love the freestyle concert. It is a great venue. All the seating is upclose to the stage. Great drinks bur expensive. Clean bathrooms. On the particular night the venue was very hot. I guess the AC was not ready to be turn on
Amazing venue for concerts and comedy shows (keeps them on their toes). Saw Tom Sigura thus past weekend. Great staff and generous bartenders!
Had a great time at the Freestyle show, The Cover Girls had the best set. The prices are out of control $40.00 for a Corona and a mix drink. They should be wearing skie masks when there serving you.
NYCB is a theatre that has been open since the seventies and has show placed a variety of musicians from all genres and all listings. Every seat is personable and the vibe is always positive. A friend of mine and myself were fortunate to see Buddy Guy a true classy act and major contributor to American and European music. Long Islanders are fortunate to be within driving distance of this American classic theater
I went to see George Lopez.... every seat here to stage was perfect
Love this venue, have seen lots of greats here.. very cozy and intimate space in contrast to other popular/mainstream arenas.... will give 5 stars after they update common areas.
I saw Chaka Khan perform here on 6/1. She did a great show...her band and background singers were flawless. This is my 2nd time coming to this venue...its a nice place.
Went to the Chaka Khan Concert at NYCB Westbury Theatre June 1st 2022, she was FABULOUS. We had VIP tickets and had close to the stage ticketsWe smoozed with other VIPs in the VIP Lounge...excellent decor drinks and food
NYCB. Great place. In December of (2019) I purchased two tickets from (MyTickettracker.com) for the Tommy James concert scheduled August 2020.The concert happened in May 2022. In between - no communication from (Boxoffice-Tickets.com.) or (MyTickettracker.com)After researching in my own, I found out the scheduled event.My wife and I went to the NYCB ticket booth, presented our purchase receipt and NYCB had no record of our purchase.NYCB stepped up and without hesitation, gave us two tickets (in a different location) but equal in quality.In my opinion, (MyTickettracker.com) is a low quality company and NYCB is first class!Thank you NYCB Theatre at Westbury.I will be back because you know how to run a business and put your customers first.Thank you! Frank.
We saw George Lopez and he was hilarious. More importantly the staff that worked there were very nice and helpful from the moment we entered to the time we left.
Ive only been here twice but I can honestly say that Ive had a great time both times. Coliseum seating makes for a more intimate setting. The stage sits in the middle and rotates to give the entire crowd a chance to be in front of the performer. Comfortable seating and helpful staff makes for a more pleasurable experience. I will say that the bathroom area could be bigger to deal with the larger crowds. The drinks cost about what youd expect. Also, theres plenty of FREE parking. And getting in and out is easy.
Very ni e venue as always. Went mothers day weekend. Great show, nice place, plenty of free parking. Will be back.
Great location. Well kept secret because every seat is a good seat except the far corners behind the stage.
Nice intimate place. The perfect venue to see your favorite artist / performer up-close and personal. I was lucky enough to see the legend Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. What a spectacular show. And again, the size of the arena lets you see the artist really close so we were literally only steps away from him. Nice place
My new favorite venue. Although it is a little dated the seats are comfy. I ran around and sat in alot of different seats and they are all the same 17 inch size in width. Which is excellent compared to the 15 inches offered by large arenas that are all about packing in people not comfort. I did not experience any dirty bathrooms or venue. Like I said dated but not dirty. The staff was very friendly. The concession stand, which offers popcorn, drinks, and snacks, had a small line that moved quickly and I was greeted with a smile. The ushers showed us to our seats and was also very pleasant. I loved the security. I do not mind waiting 5 minutes to get wanded and I already had my purse unzipped ready to get checked. I liked the peace of mind. Great job everyone! It is a round venue with the stage in the middle. Every seat is terrific. *TIP*: I tried the very last row against the wall and the seat width was still good but no leg room! I am 5 foot 8 inches tall and I was in discomfort with my knees in the back of the seat infront of me. I asked my friendly usher about it and she even said they have alot if complaints about that rows leg room.
Went to see Ledisi her voice is Amazing! They made the theater smaller and the stage does not go around anymore I was disappointed 😔 because when it use to go around every seat in the house was a good seat. The D section was packed. They made sure everyone had their covid shot. Also there was another young man with Ledisi, King Williams, I think he too have a nice voice. But please bring back the revolving stage!!
This is a wonderful venue to see world class performances. The seating is stadium style and the stage revolves, for many shows, in the round tent structure. There’s really no bad seat even if you’re sitting all the way in the back row.Over the years I’ve seen Ray Charles, Tony Bennett, Dionne Warwick, and Smoky Robinson perform. Last night I saw the Fab Four, considered one of the greatest Beatle tribute bands. I was sitting in Section B, Row R (all the way back) and the seats were great as you can see from the photo. I was able to get $20 tickets at the last minute through Live Nation‘s National Concert week.There are refreshment stands in the lobby including wine and beer and servers go up and down the aisles with lighted trays if you want to order something during the show. You can also upgrade your ticket so you can sit in privacy in their cocktail lounge before the show. There’s also plenty of parking including handicap.My only criticism is that the theater could use some TLC. I don’t know when the last renovation was but it could use some updating. Other than that I feel lucky to live only 25 minutes away from this wonderful performing arts theater. Can’t wait to see another show there!
Good, intimate venue, although since part of seats closed for this particular show, it would have been nice for cameras/tvs to show more. Decent bar. Parking needs to have better direction by crew as spots were empty in rows and some places cars were over 2 spaces
2500 seat theater in the round, revolving stage. Easy parking, no bad seats, good sound.
It is a very cozy theater with no bad sight lines. Sound was good.
Love going to see events here. No bad seats, Sound is amazing. Staff friendly, the building is clean. Bathrooms clean and smell good. Prices totally affordable.
Zebra was amazing, The sound board Crew not so much. The feed back half way through the show was insane and I sat in front of the sound board , Row R. Get it together Westbury.
I can’t begin to tell you how many shows i have seen here. It is my favorite indoor place to see a show. It is so close and intimate, plus they attract so amazing talent.
We can only give this 3 stars. My wife and I attended the Saturday night disco music concert and really enjoyed it but the sound system was horrible at times. If it was one or 2 singers, the sound was okay, but groups of 4 or more singers it was loud, unclear and unbearable.
This is a great venue! There is no way to get a bad seat here. Back stage is pretty cool too! 😉😜😎The sound and lighting is great. The staff were on point and the food and drinks were great too. I like the menu being on the tv screens (but they flashed too quickly so I was darting my head back and forth just to read the options. Its a quick fix on their end and it didnt completely ruin my experience.) we had a great time & let me mention the parking lot is huge!
Josh Gates was awesome!
Had a good time, Freestyle show. The Cover Girls had the best set.
Great venue, comfortable seats but some seats have someones head right in front of you. Getting out of the parking lot after a show is painfully slow.
Love the show... 1 of my favorite singer was there DFace aka Baby Face...love it until a Karen jumped on stage then they asked every1 2 have a seat.
Great local venue for entertainment. Good seating and the staff is very attentive. I enjoy going there.
The Venue was a great size, and there was not a bad seat no matter where you sat! Absouletely loved it and the staff working was incredible. Couldnt have asked for a better first concert for my niece - The Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle Tour!
The venue is the best to see a show but they really got to do something about the time it takes to get out of the parking lot. They have people who direct you to park and should have them direct to exit too. After all these years and still no better exit plan.
Great Venue. Its small so even the back row is still within a couple hundred feet of the stage. If you are in the first few rows you are literally within speaking distance of the band. The concession stand is adequate for a concert venue and there is a small side section you can step out and smoke on.Parking is good and its right off the Northern State highway so travel is easy.I saw Collective Soul play during a snow storm. It was sold out show but only the hardcore fans showed up due to the weather. We all sat up front and the band did a Q&A with us since there was so few people. It felt like we were personally hanging out with band and getting a private show. Awesome experience! The most expensive tickets only cost about $80 so it was a good deal too.
Small local theater located in Westbury NY. Don’t expect much then you will enjoy. It is a good size for a stand up comedy or smaller concert with no fancy.Parking control needs improvement, especially after the show. Stuck in the parking space because no one was yielding and leaving the parking lot took additional time.Food and Beverage was too expensive for its quality. Menu selections were a little better than expected but after tasting one, I was glad I didn’t order more.Round stage that spun was interesting but that was it.
There is no such thing as a bad seat at Westbury! Ive been seeing shows there since 1983 and always have a great experience. Since it is a small venue, the artists and audience can really connect. In addition, the parking lot is big enough for the crowd, but you wont spend an hour trying to get out after the show. You might spend a half hour, but thats only if youre polite.
The NYCB Theatre is in the round with a stage that slowly rotates. I cant imagine there are any bad seats. There are a few concession stands so theres food, candy, beverages, and alcohol available.The sound system seems good, and the smallish size of the venue makes it an intimate setting that both artist and audience seem to really appreciate.
Great theater ! No bad seats . I have seen alot of good shows here !
Great place to see a show due to the small size and rotating stage in a theater in the round format. Even the last row is a good seat. The space between rows is very tight though and should be remedied. Also some better traffic flow to get in and out of the show would add to the experience. Overall two thumbs up!
We saw The Mavericks. They were reliably great and engaging. The venue staff was helpful and sweet. However, despite requiring masks at entry, there was no enforcement once you passed the ticket screener. Throughout the show, most of the audience was maskless. It diminished the experience. On recent trips to Broadway, the ushers were very strict about masks. Wear it properly or be asked to leave. Theres no good reason that Westbury could not say the same.
Not a bad seat in the house. The rotating stage makes sure everybody gets a great view. Very intitmate. One of my favorite venues.
Great small venue to watch a concert. Their parking lot needs resurfacing
Had a great time seeing vic d
I came here to see KEM he was amazing, we sat all the way in the front and we highly enjoyed ourselves. They have a lot of parking, which is wonderful. But my only issue was the restrooms, for a venue to hold so many popular events, they should really invest in updating the restroom.
Clean nice atmosphere. allows artists to be free and gives a great show.
Nice little theater (quite a ways from the city unfortunately). Small (🙁) but novel (🙂) selection of refreshments (Liquid Death, churros, and pretty sure they had hard seltzer). Seats and roof and stage are impressive quality for so small a venue (given that it has been around for a while). Nice intimate setting, can get close to performers.
Not a bad seat in the house. One of the great gems of this venue is there lounge for drinks prior to events.
Me and my wife had a great time at a La Oreja De Van Gogh concert. The way the Theatre is set up, practically any seat has a great view of the stage. You feel right up in the action as well.There are a few restrooms for convenience, and plenty of food and drink stations. Prices are too be expected venue pricing, but they have a little something for everyone. Staff was also friendly and helpful.Only downside is the place seems a bit...old. The theatre itself had a hazy look to it, like it crawled out of an 80s Planetarium in NYC. Could use a refresh.
Great venue for shows. We got excellent seats. Il Divo gave an emotional and heartfelt show. It was amazing.
Excellent venue. Amphitheater style. All seats are good. Excellent sound I was there for an awesome Steve Hackett (Genesis) show.
The sound system was off tonight. I could not make out what the lead singer of Air Supply was saying. The vocals were too low. There was a groan coming from the bass players guitar. Whomever was handling the balance wasnt getting it right. The show was great but the sound could have been better.
The acts were fabulous. The sound not so much. None of the performers could hear their cues or the music while performing so ultimately the performers as well as the audience received less then what they paid for. Fortunately the 70s band had their equipment to ultimately save the show but again even the acoustics for them was challenging as well.
I love this theater. Anywhere you seat,you wont be disappointed
Jamie Boy , Wifey and myself enjoyed an extremely fantastic laser light show of Pink Floyd in 3d. Blew my mind. Everyone acted accordingly. Lots of smiles 😁
The evening was awesome.The lovely woman sitting next to me was a version of Heaven on Earth.I snuck a peek at her every other moment until Babyface stop singing.What a blessing Dec 10th was.
Great place for a concert Zebra was awesome
This show, The Mavericks was 5 stars in everyway, the music, the stage, the sound, the energy, left the theater on a high note for days.However, we returned on Saturday for the Jingle Bell Disco which was a disaster. The MCs were vulgar, not so much Joe Cosi, but this other night club owner should not have had a microphone in his hand.Then the sound person should be fired or go back to school. There were moments where the music was so loud it was distorted. Then there was repeated screeching feedback while Harold Melvin and th Blue Notes were playing. Then again with The Tramps. Unacceptable in this day and age.
Good view from entire location.
Always a good time
Great experience love the seating how there is no bad seat
Great venue for concerts and is in walking distance to the Viana hotel.
Great place for a fun night out. Not a bad seat any where.
Amazing show. Great seats for great prices
Always enjoy a show at Westbury...the concessions stand could use some help. Cocktails are expensive and they make them weak. They had no straws or tops for the drinks. There arent cup holders so you can only put your drink on the floor and pray theres no bugs crawling. The pretzels were stale and the cheese was nasty. We threw out the pretzels!! As far as the seating ..every seat is basically a good seat. But the usher was more confused finding our seats than we were. She said she was used to jones beaches theaters seating!!
The seating was great for a low price. Felt like Judy Torres and the Cover Girls was up close to me. Will be back for the Wiggles Tour :)
Cool place in a nice open setting with plenty of parking and i like how its surrounded by trees. The inside is pretty nice, and has an outside deck. The theatre itself is ok. Pretty standard. The place overall seems a bit aged, but not too bad. One thing I wasnt too keen on was the cost of refreshments. I knew theyd be expensive, but DAMN. Still had an awesome time though at Roger and JPs Comedy Riot.
The theatre was great, made even better for having my favorite musician, Joe Bonamassa! Just saw him for the first time in concert. Wonderful experience!
It is a great concert venue, ♥️ love it!...very cozy for a concert, great sound & seats. Wow, we had a great time at La Oreja de Van Gogh concert at Westbury...it was perfect, we saw them up-close & personal. Great memories from the concert.Staff was very professional & COVID-19 proof of vaccinations was uneventful.
Great Styx show... love the intimate setting. Really got to see the band members and not from a screen.
Nice concert venue. Prices are decent and the views of the stage are great. Very convenient location as well. Staff are courteous and helpful.
Not a bad seat in the place! Great for seeing a show!
The stage didnt rotate at the Baby Face concert so that wasnt good.
Variably comfortable, in comparison to newer venues like NJPAC & Hard Rock theatre in Atlantic City.
Hmmm. Kinda disgusting but a fun Easy venue.
Had A great time at Westbury..I throughly enjoyed Chaka Khan!!
Went to see George Lopez. Very nice venue
Took my daughter to see Bryan Setlzers orchestra x-mas show and the man did not disappoint, Staff was incredibly helpful and Pete at the snack bar did a great job with the crowd. Class act all around
Big scammer of a place. Purchased tickets did NOT GET A REFUND. When you call nobody can answer due to covid. Money was stolen by these creeps with no way to contact anybody. What is with all the good reviews? Are they fake?
A great venue that has a giod view from all sections.
Great small venue with not a bad seat anywhere. 😊
Nice small venue for entertainment, many musical events and also comedy. Very enjoyable experience.
It was so hot inside. Terrible. The show was fantastic.
Very few circle theaters in the U.S. but I definitely recommend this one. Staff and stagehands have this place down to a science
Great Gospel concert! All seats are good!
Ive been to this theater two times and its very nice! The stage is small which provides a very intimate feeling, but its wonderful. The seating arrangement is different than most other places in that the rows surround the stage in the shape of a C. The chairs are comfortable but arent very spaced out. in the lobby is where food and drinks are and is very easy to access. The place is decently big yet easy to navigate. Definitely would recommend if youre looking to see any performers!
Not a bad seat in the house. Usual issues with this venue...people sing along, lol. That I can take, but when they stand for prolonged times, it obstructs my view and enjoyment.
Over priced tickets, small crowded seats and a concession stand that closes with an hour of show left.They are also requiring proof of vaccination, even though there is no mandate to do so in Nassau county. I will not be back.
Real good experience. Seating layout was very good as the layered style allowed a good view throughout the entire theatre
😉 enjoyed the concert
Great place for intimate concerts. Ample parking but its a nightmare traveling from NJ to there.
Saw some great bands here. Sound is excellent and seating ensures theres not a bad view in the house (its a round theatre). The parking situation is a little weird and you might end up parking far away, but its free and there are free shuttles that make it incredibly convenient. 10/10 would recommend this venue.
Why isnt the box office open?, so you can purchase tickets, Things are much better now, yet the phone message says-Due to Covid restrictions, the box office is closed I think this is a scam so you have to buy your tickets online & pay a (Minimum) $15 per ticket fee & they split it with Ticketmaster. Total B.S.
Excellent concert. Staff was very professional
Great place for shows any seat is good
Anthony Rodia and Goomba Johnny were amazing!!!! Great seats, Great show, Great night!!!!
Me and my sister had an amazing time at the lesi concert in Westbury theater.
Super fun show! Parking came be a bit insane, so give yourself a little extra time to get there. Great venue and truly no bad seat in the house.We had a great time seeing an Elton John and Queen cover band.
Drinks were great , place is clean . Very professional service
Love it... it doesnt matter where you sit, the show is very close to you... no seat is too far!
Love the rotating stage..It gives everyone a chance to see them up close no matter where they are sitting..Cozy plaze..
Great place to see a concert or listen to a comedian
The ladies room so clean.Perfect drinks 🍸 👌
Great venue where there is no bad seat in the house. The theater is comfortable, the sound is okay, and the view of the stage is from everywhere! The ushers and security guards work hard and they are helpful from escorting people to their seats, or directing traffic outside after the show. They have terrific amenities like a bar snacks and facilities that accommodate everyone. They even broadcast the theater when youre in the restroom so you miss very little should you have to leave briefly. Overall, its a great place to see a terrific show!
Good place to see a show.. good viewing areas.
Went to see Keith Sweat. Loved it. Stage goes around in circles so anywhere you sit you can still enjoy the show.
Great and cozy. Every seat is good.
I love this theater!! It spins so you can see everything and it is a small theater so there are no bad seats. We have been to concerts, comedy shows and the acoustics are great. Theres no fee to park, the food and drinks are a bit expensive but what you would expect for this type of establishment. Theres always staff to help you find your seats and the bathrooms are always very clean. Great place to see a concert, stand-up or really anything for that matter.
WE HAD A GLORIOUS TIME NEVER STOPPED DANCING AND WORSHIPPING
Comfortable venue yo enjoy music.
Holds about 1500, great place to see a show. Not a bad seat in the house. You get the benefit of seeing many smaller musical and comedic acts without having to trek into the city. Additionally you can get a ticket for virtually everyone who performs there for less than $100. Only drawback is that the food and drink options are limited.
I had a good experience here. Front row seat to see a retired Navy Seal give a lecture I will never forget. The staff was friendly and the arena had an intimate feel - there wasnt a bad seat in the house. My only complaint was $5 for a bottled water after I took a bus and walked a mile to get here.
Such a nice and cozy music hall
Had a great time. Gladys Knight was amazing 😍
Ive seen many shows here and I was very pleased each time! There is no bad seat because its not that huge like a stadium. The seats are nice and comfy and the sound quality is very good! There is food and drinks and bathrooms here. Always a good time with a great show! Check it out when you can
The venue is good, seating is tight. You can bring your food and drinks back to your seat. Stage rotates so you get a view from anywhere in the place. O dont know if it was for this show I saw but the sound system was terrible for most of the acts
I have seen many shows here, not a bad seat in the house.
Always a pleasure attending events at The Theater at Westbury... ESPECIALLY when the bar is open and theyre serving food!!! The staff and crew are always kind and helpful too!The crowd are pretty fun as well!This time we attended The Price is Right Live!And had a great time!
EXCELLENT concert venue. The back row is 60 ft from the stage and it is very much like a small club atmosphere. It had been MANY years since Id been there and I never appreciated the intimacy when I was younger. If a band you like is playing here...BUY TICKETS AND SEE THEM.Bonus points for no fee parking on the premises with the option to pay an extra $20 for VIP parking (very close to both the entrance to the building AND the exit from the parking lot).
Great concert venue. Theyd sell a lot more beverages with less exorbitant prices
Jason Bonham did his all LED Zeppelin performance with nice tutorials from him between songs.
Not a bad seat in the house. Most of the time, the stage revolves. Sound is pretty decent. Parking is ample. The lines for the female bathroom are very long though, especially at intermission and at the end of the evening- even with two bathroom. Havent ever had the food, so I cant say how good or bad it is. But I would definitely recommend this venue.
Very nice theater although it is not very big. I have been to a few events here and the size of the place makes any seat a good seat so that is a plus. The food is pricey and can get expensive if you have kids. The staff is nice and organized. I would recommend this place for concerts or events like the price is right.
Love this place easy to park, getting out is a little backed up. Almost any seat is a great seat. You can still buy the cheap seats and get a great view. I still prefer to sit as close as I can. The VIP room is nice but priced high to upgrade.
What a great place to see a show. 2nd row with excellent views. Anywhere you sit is a good seat. A show here is very intimate. The staff are pleasant. This is my favorite place to see a show. Cant wait to go back. Perhaps they should cut off selling drinks to people who are belligerent and stumbling, though. I do appreciate security telling people not to block the aisles, but drunk people dont listen.
This was a great concert Venue for the old school hip hop concert. You gave a great view if the stage and performers regardless of where youre seated. Ive attended other events here and this was the first time I didnt pay for preferred parking and it was much better. Dont waste your money on the preferred parking.
Long standing performance space. Amphitheatre seating of approximately 20 rows total. Good sight lines to the circular center stage. Nice facilities and ample parking. A few bars with good service and reasonable club prices. The place is clean and modern. I would definitely come back for performances here because you are never too far away from the stage.
Its a theater with really good acoustics, because of the small size all the seats in the house are great! The stage is always rotating so everyone in the audience will have a direct view of the band for some time. Food is a little expensive but quite decent for arena food. The staff/usherer was very helpful!
Mo matter where you sit, you will enjoy the show
Always a great experience.
Great venue. Comfortable seats and a round theater with a rotating stage!
Parking great. Security check and tickets in smooth. Babyface Awesome beyond expectation!!!
Fairly small theater with not a bad seat in the house. We have sat 5 rows back from the stage, and five rows up from the back wall, and we enjoyed both shows. Place has a funky smell, and sometimes the AC is not working, but its a good theater to see people close up.
Great view and all seats are Great
Went to see Air Supply last night. They did a real nice job, would have enjoyed the concert except for 3 couples sitting behind us. The men just talked over the music, clearly they just didnt care. Went to security, did absolutely nothing. Several people sitting in the surrounding seats tried to politely look at them , signaling they , were being rude. We have been to NYCB Theatre in Westbury many times over the years. Sadly it has come to an end. How can one attend a concert to enjoy a performance while people talk. Shame on Security. Security probably was afraid because the group probably had to much to drink. They had 16 oz cans of beer. Thanks Westbury for a night will hope to forget.
If you get the chance to go here - GO! The staff are pleasant, there is plenty of free parking + VIP parking for $20. The venue itself is AMAZING! No matter where you sit in this venue, you are no further than 60 feet from the stage (which rotates) and the view is not obstructed from anywhere. My husband and I have been to a few shows here and we are always on the lookout for others because the venue is so great. Trust me, youll love it.
Comedy Fest was a great event, it also raised money for cancer research. All the comedians were at their best. The theater is a perfect size to have small events. Every seat in the house is great you see everything. I had a great night out, and I laughed all night.
A nice intimate venue.. nothing fancy.. one of the last theaters in the round with a rotating stage. So no matter where you sit, at some time youll be center stage . Really not a bad seat in the building since its so small. Parking fee is usually included with the ticket price, so no extra charge... a rarity these days. If theres a show you want to see and its playing here, make the trip.
Truly one of the premiere venues in the USA. Ive had the pleasure of performing here about twenty times through the years. Its a beautiful theater with a revolving stage. Seats about 2500. There isnt a bad seat in the house. The sound is great, and top notch acts perform here. A must attend venue. Lots of parking...
Great venue for a show or concert!
This place is always great .theyre nothing but a class act ..everybody is just nice, they take good care of you..Theres a Bar & food counter,Theater is just beautiful ,there is no seat in the house that bad,its a very intimate concert ..The sound is incredible there..people around you are just a good class of concert goers...If youve not been here my recommended highly ..its a must go...
The theater is small and cozy. The size and the design of this theater unfortunately forces everyone to stand up to really enjoy the show. This is true to any music concert and when performers are hitting a climax. The best thing to do is stand up as well and hope the folks in front of you are either shorter or the same height as you. I decided to hang out on the walking aisle to enjoy the show. Overall I like the theater but hopefully they can update the interior sooner than later. Can’t do anything about the audience getting up to block your view but prepare yourself to stand up and adjust your location to get the most of the concert experience.
Great little venue, with a circular stage. Most performances involve a revolving stage. Not a bad seat in the house.Albeit, exiting at the conclusion of any event is always a challenge born in Hell. Everyone must expect to jockey through a maze of automobiles, as theres one means of departure—one exit.
Wow waited so long for this really had a great time with my wife. This one was really special The roof The roof great memory brought us back to our youth ...so good...
Considering Covid...It was extremely comfortable they checked for proof of vaccinations.Ledisi was exceptional!!..I would definitely recommend this venue..
Happy Together 2022 Tour. Wow
I am very frustrated with this venue. My show was canceled due to Covid and rescheduled twice. Ive been trying to contact them to find my tickets. There is no response.
Small venue, good view from all seats. The concessions were run very poorly. They need a more organized approach to the flow of people. Also, they have TVs in the food area that are not utilized or helpful. 40 min to buy popcorn is not acceptable.
Nice venue. Love how the seating is amphitheater style. Stage in the Middle and the seats wrap around. Just make sure to get there early if u want a good parking spot up front. At least a hr. They have concession stands. Drinks and snacks. First in first out
Temps and Four Tops...sold out crowd. Last time I was at this venue I saw Geo. Carlin.I was taken by the incredible staff...from parking into security. Each person was friendly, helpful and could have been nicer..especially with the cold temperatures and crowd. Great rotating stage not a bad seat in the house.
We saw Yes, in concert. It was their 50th anniversary and they were great. The venue is unique because the stage is in the center and it rotates. So everyone has a good seat, plus the venue isnt as big as other places, like stadiums. We had a Fantastic time, we sat in the second row, AWESOME.
There isnt a bad seat in the house at this theater. The staff at the concession stands are friendly and make good drinks. They also have a bistro sandwich menu, I just wish there was a vegetarian option.
Just an ok venue.The stage setup is interesting and different and theres some beautiful outside seating as well. The staff in my experience is pleasant.However, a lot of details are overlooked here. For example, the bathrooms are always gross. Never clean and very outdated in the times I have been there. I dont feel as though a venue placing themselves in an upscale tier should have toilet seats that are so old the coating is peeling off. Just seems like laziness on the part of management for an easily fixed/not expensive issue.The last show I attended here also had audio problems so bad that the performers had to ask if they were doing something wrong due to painful sounding screeches coming through their headsets throughout the entire show, had multiple issues with microphones, and called out how poorly the audio was handled at the end of the show.It would be a great venue if management could fix the outdated portions of the venue and work out any performance kinks.
The theatre is a great venue due to its size. You will never feel far away, no matter where you are seated. The Old School Hip Hop show was great! I thought i would never return after the R Kelly fiasco! Be prepared to spend at least $12 for a drink.💃
Saw Josh Gates from Expedition Unknown here. Acoustics were great.
Disco fever Westbury theater was awesome great time
My favorite venue for concerts. There are NO bad seats. Seats are tight so be mindful of the coat you wear. May be a bit uncomfortable if you are big and tall. Ample parking. Generally a smooth in and out process. Lounge 360 is nice to have a drink and appetizers before the show. The main area has several bars and some snack foods. I would recommend eating before you arrive.
Havent been here in over 26yrs, very intimate setting and I did remember the unique rotating stage. Got a chance to chill in the lounge after the Heart of Hip hop show on Saturday. Great show, good drinks, good time and memories created! !
Great venue for live performances. The stage is round and rotates, so there are no bad seats. With a maximum occupancy of less than 3000, you can stay for the encore and get out of the parking lot in a reasonable amount of time.
This is a good theater where basically all the seats are pretty fair as long as the performers rotate through the sides. The acoustics are decent, too. It is easy to drive to, though a bit tougher via mass transit depending on your needs - the nearest train station, Westbury, is 2 miles away. The food and drinks are decent, though they take a long time to make (a sign says theyre made fresh on-site). Also there are no cup holders in the seats, so it is pretty awkward to eat at your seat.
Nice theater for a more intimate show setting. Plenty of parking easy in and out. They try to charge more for VIP parking, not needed. Drinks and snacks are good but pricey. Show tickets range in price but overall not bad. Use Groupon or box office and avoid ticket broker fees.
I really love this venue. Generally any seat gives you an unobstructed view of the stage. Ive been to this venue many times. My last visit on November 29th 2018 was the first time that they did not rotate the stage. They were known for rotating the stage and it was a great feature so that at some point during any concert you had a frontal view of whoever was performing.
Went to see Joe Bonamassa. Unbelievable talent with a very tight band. Just the best. Ive been to NYCB many, many times and as always the stage spins and everybody always thinks the other side is seeing most of the action. The sound system was very good and of course there isnt a bad seat in the house. Good place to see a show.
Top service, super friendly staff and amazingly clean, organized and I think one of the best theatre to visit. The stage circle around in the middle while everyone around are enjoyingI attended a stand up comedy for Jacki Mason and i spent a wonderful time. The Parking lot is huge and free.
Love Trevor Noahs show. Great seats.
Great food very friendly staff with great service.
Saw Kem last night, my first time seeing him in concert. Hes an excellent singer and I love his music but his performance last night was lack luster. He did too much talking and not enough singing. It felt like this was more rehearsal than his concert. His band , the backup singers and the dancing girls were phenomenal but I doubt if Id ever see him in concert again.
Went to see Sinbad. Great show! The theater is cozy which I know will say I actually mean small, but I dont. It was cozy. The stage felt so close that I felt Sinbad was looking right at me at times. That made it feel personal & therefore caused me to enjoy the show even more. My daughter used the restroom & said it could use some attention. Other than that, I look forward to enjoying more shows at NYCB Theatre.
The theater being small and in the round gives everyone a good seat. Plus the seats are roomier than most venues. The sound is also good. However if you arrive early, they ask you to upgrade your wait by paying $10 to stand in the lobby where concessions are open. Ridiculous. We werent going to pay and had about 1/2 hour until official door time. Then they opened 10 minutes early. We would have been pissed if we paid.
Great venue, with free parking and plenty of bathroom stalls. Like the revolving stage. Ticket prices were very reasonable, but service fees added were ridiculous. Saw Gary Lewis, the Association, and Peter Noone. It was my first and last time, as coming here from NJ is a long trip filled with traffic.
Always great shows here.Only wish the staff wouldnt be so demanding of the artists. I have seen them telling the performers to cut their show because of time restraints. Sad when the artists want to end with their biggest hits and they cant because time has run out.Like if you dont get off stage you wont be paid!
It was a really nice time. Lots of fun
I like this venue and it has FREE PARKING!
I went to see Whoopi Goldberg there recently. Ticket prices reasonable. I love that wherever you sit you have a clear view of the stage. Seats are comfortable. Rows are a little narrow. Drinks are a little pricey. Plenty of parking spaces
Live near by, have been here many times. Its a great venue, it is big enough to feel like you are going out on the town. But small enough to have a great intimate performance. And to top it all off it is on historic musical grounds, what once was the Westbury Music Fair is not NYCB Theater at Westbury.
We visited for ABBA: The Concert. The venue is relatively cozy, which makes for excellent views of the stage and fantastic acoustics!Parking is pretty adequate in respect to the number of spots, but the lots can get cramped causing long lines to get in and out, so plan out additional time to wait for cars to enter the lot before your show.Concessions stand - both the drinks & food are pricey as expected, but theres a Subway with seating less than a mile down the road if you want to grab a meal before your show.
Not to big, not to small. Great older singers and bands. Have seen comedians here. Watched Grease at Westbury a few years back. Ticket prices vary, but even the seats furthest from the stage arent bad. I enjoy coming here at least a few times a year.
They did a great job with the renovation. Seats are much more comfortable. All the seats in the lower ring are great. The upper boxes suck though. Full ring shows are great, the stage rotates so most people (except for the upper boxes) get a 20th row or better center stage experience. Be careful with buying tickets for half ring shows. They are more like 3/4 ring and the seats in the far side sections are bad as you only see the back of the performance. Groupon deals give you the worst seats. Bar / Food / Drinks are way over priced, bathrooms are horrible and in need of expansion and desperate updating. Parking lot is horrible. If you dont skip the encore be prepared to wait an extra hour to get out of the lot. Good thing is once you are out of the lot its a quick jump onto northern state or wantagh parkway. Parking is free but not good for tailgating.
Very cool venue. The stage slowly spins so every seat is a good one. I know its been around a while but it was my first time. We saw REO Speedwagon and the still put on a great show!
The sound system has been upgraded which is great. There still long restroom lines and the prices of snacks and drinks are absurd.
Had a great time, saw KANSAS !Sitting anywhere in the theater is a great seat in the house. Sound was great ! They have waitress Service so you dont have to leave your seat to fetch a beverage. The place is clean, bathroom was clean, and parking was FREE !!!! unlike the Coliseum !
Expensive for really tiny seats not made for Americans even for average size people
Free parking, seats were comfortable, acoustics good. Reason for 3 stars is - we bought 2 beers prior to the show $25, after the show we went to the lounge attached to the theater, and they charged $34 for the same 2 beers. OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Great venue with free parking an great talent. There isnt a bad seat in the house, and the acoustics are tremendous. The prices on concessions are ridiculous, even for a concert venue, but otherwise its all good.
Great place to see a show. Make sure you dont over pay for your tickets.. especially for shows that been there year after year. Live Nation trying to ripped you off with there high price seats. Extra 20.00 to sit on an aisle..Over priced platinum seats. If you see an event you like and its over priced. Stay home
Ive been to this venue for 2 different types of shows. The first was to see apocalyptica which was incredible, the sound was great. The second time was a lecture with Jordan Peterson, both times were great and the seating arrangement really gives this place a personal and intimate experience. Its nice that theres a place in long Island besides Jones Beach
Had an amazing time! The place was quite clean, and the staff were friendly and kind. The food and drinks were expensive, so I would not reccomend buying it. A cup of iced tea was six bucks, and it was not a very large cup. The popcorn tastes good, but I ordered a rice krispie treat, and that was a bit dry and hard. Alcohol is about 11 to 13 dollars. The seating was great! You could see everything from anywhere in the theater, and even in the farther back seats, the view was unobstructed.

2022-04-01The event was Awesome. Fred Hammond and Bishop Hezekiah Walker never disappoint Gospel message. However venue will need updating to keep up with some of the newer stadiums. Sound of my video highly distorted. My seats were close 2 rows from The Everyone Can See and Get Their Pic, Adorable Rotating Stage. Love It!

2021-12-17The Theater at Westbury is a music venue located out in Long Island with ample parking. It is a small venue with good acoustics and its small enough that it has no bad seats no matter where you are located you will have a great view of the performance.I have been there before to see Ringo Starr and the All Star Band and on this occasion I took my son to see Almost Queen. Fun night and a great place to see a show.Lastly proof of Covid vaccinations where required for admission.

2021-11-23It was a great seat and like someone else said “THERE IS NO BAD 💺 SEAT” in every angle is a great view to the show. I sat on row E and I enjoy a nice time with my family watching Air Supply. Can’t wait to see my next show

2021-11-18The place is nice we did the VIP before the show which did not offer much seating but was a nice and relaxed environment so everyone was able to mingle social distance style. The auditorium was a reasonable size and made for the perfect intimate setting for the concert. The only slight negative was the bathroom... I dont consider myself to be a Big Girl but if you are at any point over the recommended BMI scale for your size or over 5 8 the designated disposal zone is not your greatest friend especially if you had a drink or two. Lol

2022-05-23What a great venue. Our first time in NY and had a great time. I was worried because the tickets said obstructed view... But the only obstruction was the piano!!! The slow rotation of the stage makes it great for everyone.

2022-03-16Let me tell you that this theater is amazing in its ability to give you some of the best seats in the house that you will ever have. I could have literally run up and punched any number of celebrities in the face but the beauty is this venue gives you such a great experience you dont feel like flipping out and killing people after spending $4,000 on front row tickets. You know it is a little disconcerting that as youre sitting there watching the show after paying $4,000 for front row tickets that the stage slowly but surely circles away from you it does circle back but this could be the worst venue for sound that Ive ever been in. Im not sure why but I have never heard or I should say I have never missed hearing so many frequencies in my entire life. At first I thought I was having a stroke and was slipping towards the great unknown because I just could not hear any middle and low to Middle frequencies. The lower end was made up of an overdriven cacaphony, just completely distorted pierced with intermittent crackling like an elephant stomping on bubble packing. And as if these loud sudden bursts of popping werent enough to aggravate you, like needles piercing the eardrum, the cacophonous blast of distorted low end was starting to actually tickle the part of my spine that controlled my bladder and I almost made a whoopsie. It was starting to make my ears feel as if somebody was pouring battery acid mixed with rock salt into the irritated, freshly torn open wounds in my already bleeding eardrums, yet every time my head begged me to get out of there and stop this I just yelled, What?! I cant hear you!! My ears are bleeding and my vas deferens have exploded!!! before I relented & silently subjected myself to more torture.... Because it was zz F+ingTop. Even my Emotional Support Emu Tedward Livingstone the 9th was upset and clawed the living death out of a lady in the cheap seats.

2021-11-12I been to NYCB theater a couple of times, mainly for Spanish shows. Recently for La oreja de Van Gogh. My old time favorite was IL Volo. The theater is great, the round shape is great so everyone can have the same visuals. Its always clean, including the restroom.

2022-06-14They make it easy and enjoyable to see music here. Great sound system, great acts.The short walk from the huge parking lot and easy entrance to the seats makes it accessible even for seniors who have trouble walking.I loved seeing Tommy James there with my son, it was one of the best shows weve seen together. TJ joked with his senior citizen fans yeah, we used to take acid, now we take antacid. After he was done joking, he and his big band put on one hell of a great rock show.
