Brooklyn Academy of Music

Nothing to complain about. This is a beautiful music Hall, it's like walking into the past. Staff was friendly and efficient. Easy to get to by train. Seats we're tiny, leg room tight, and cushions uncomfortable. But the show was so good, you don't even think about it.

MLK Day Event 2025 - the event focused more on political speeches than music. Beautiful choir and dance performances. Amazing speech by Carlotta Walls LaNier of the Little Rock Nine. I was on the 3rd row of balcony seating. Good view but it's hard to see the centre of the stage if someone's in the seat front of you.

I visited this historical theatre in Brooklyn for an outstanding production of A Streetcar Named Desire starring Paul Mescal. I loved the lobby which also hosted an art gallery. The theatre was intimate and rich with historical details. The neighborhood was rich with restaurants and shopping opportunities.

Went to an interview with Daniel Craig, and this is my last time in life I will go for balcony seating. We could only see forheads of the actor and interviewer, very poor sound(humor was lost altogether so balcony did not laugh))). I barely could understand and anything and it was money wasted. I did open BAM for myself though, and see many exciting events on schedule. Should just book in advance and get good seats.

Hey friends! This review is about sustainability only. ☺️ It saddens me to see you all of your concession drinks wrapped in single use plastic. Especially when options like aluminum cans exist for both soda and water. By 2050, there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. And over 95% of the plastic that we produce and consume, does not get recycled, but rather ends up in landfills, incinerators, or in our waterways, breaking down into micro plastics that are making us sick. I would love to see more entertainment venues in our waterfront city better serve and connect to the local environment by not trashing it at every turn. Perhaps the leader ship at Brooklyn Academy of Music would consider more sustainable options for its patrons. By transitioning to canned water, canned soda, and by butter promoting and highlighting your water bottle refill stations, I think you could make great headway in mitigating the theater’s contribution to the plastic waste crisis. Because there is no need for a patron (who is coming in to see a two hour film) to consume and discard a bottle that will take over 400 years to break down (into tinier plastics…( Thank you for considering, and thank you for this wonderful space.
