I'd looked at the Shed from the outside several times (kind of hard not to stop and take a picture of its exterior architecture when you're passing by), but I hadn't visited it to experience a program it offered until last weekend. So what's the Shed? It's a cultural arts center. It hosts a wide range of programs - performing arts, visual arts, and more. And why have I stared at it so many times? The Shed's building has a shell - weighing eight million pounds!!! - made of a fluorine-based plastic. The shell can open and close (it takes five minutes), meaning the building can become an open-air plaza depending on the needs for the program (I've never seen it open). It retracts on eight 6-foot wheels, and the shell looks like a plastic comforter. It's hard to explain. When I just visited it was to experience Viola's Room, one of their current programs. Viola's Room is even harder to explain than the Shed's architecture (go to their website and read about it if your interest is piqued), but I'll just say that it was one of the most unique and interesting immersive/sensory art experiences I've ever taken part in. The feeling of "WHAAAAAAAAAAT" lasted well after the one-hour experience was over, and I called someone right after to tell them everything. New York is one of the world's great art cities. It offers so much to residents and to visitors - performing arts, visual arts, public art... The Shed offers something new and different to the city's art landscape. But even if you're not coming to experience one of their programs, stop by to take in that shell.

The Shed is located near the Hudson Yards. The building is a housing for innovative art, and performances. The bubbly structure is unique in that it has wheels on the outside and can be moved. Street and lot parking. I suggest you use public transport, rideshare or taxi.

Hudson Yards delivers once again with the Shed!!! It's a beautiful performing arts avenue which is focused on generosity, creativity, equity and diversity! It has this beautiful pillowy roof that is actually retractable to become an open air venue!! They have lots to offer performance , musical , visual art and with we visited they had this huge installation dedicated to immigrants !! Highly recommend and look forward to going back !!

This review is strictly for Luna Luna. What a beautiful, one of a kind, and quirky art show. Luna Luna is the world's first art amusement park with attractions, rides, and games. It includes the artwork of Salvador Dali, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and many more. The art exhibit is trippy and lively. 5 stars - for Luna Luna

Arrived at The Shed yesterday afternoon to check out the Luna Luna Forgotten Fantasy exhibition. It was awesome. Learned so much from this exhibition, the space itself was huge and showcasing what we could see and experience the Art and music come together. It was peaceful and fun. There is a café on the first floor before you go up the escalators. Then another café on the 4th floor too. The Luna Luna Forgotten Fantasy exhibition ends on March 16th. The Shed is a great space to check out and see what else is next to exhibit.

Great space. Helpful and friendly staff. Went to Luna Luna at The Shed. First time there and really enjoyed my.time there. The Shed is located at Hudson Yards and holds art exhibits / art installations, current one being Luna Luna.

We went to The Shed to see Sir Kenneth Branagh's King Lear. From what I understand, The Shed is a mixed-use space for art installations, showcasing new media and artists, and more. Finding where to go for the play was a bit confusing. We were just told to go "downstairs." After that, I went to the box office, showed my tickets, and explained that we'd been directed "downstairs." The person at the desk confirmed our tickets were valid and directed us to a line for the sixth floor, but she seemed to assume we already knew the layout. As a first-time visitor from out of town, I didn't. If you arrive early or want to stay after your show, there's a bar in the lobby--a nice touch for a pre-show or post-show cocktail. The venue itself is large, with elevators and escalators. We used the escalator to reach the sixth floor for the play, where there are also restrooms--convenient! Seating is pretty good no matter where you are, but bring a light jacket or pashmina, as it gets chilly inside. The play was outstanding, and it's a great venue. I became a member to get first dibs on good seats for King Lear. If I lived closer, I'd definitely take more advantage of the membership, as there are a lot of cool things happening here. Plus, the surrounding Hudson Yards area is impressive, with The Vessel right outside.

The Shed is an art / cultural institution in Manhattan that showcases art exhibits, concerts, plays, musical theater productions, etc. I have been to The Shed on numerous occasions over the years to attend multiple events. The Shed is accessible via 7 public transportation that includes the 7 train to the 34 Street Hudson Yards station. The Shed is within walking distance from the Vessel, Dining / Rooftop Restaurant Electiric Lemon athe Equinox and from the Shops & Restaurants @ Hudson Yards. The Shed has a couple of floors along w/ a giftshop, elevator accessibility, clean bathrooms, and a casual / trendy dining establishment named Cedric's on the lower level. Highlights at The Shed have included the following: 1. Tony Cokes / Oscar Murillo Collision Coalition Exhibit. 2. Open Call 2022 & Open Call 2023 Group Art Exhibitions - had new works of art created by emerging NYC artists. 3. Activist/Artist/Professor Howardena Pindell's "Rope/Fire/Water" Exhibit (video works presentation). 4. Workshop w/ Artist Ladisasha Jones. 5. Tionna Nekkia McClodden's "The Trace of An Implied Presence" - video/art/live dance & performance presentation. 6. My favorite thus far has been the "Dragon Spring Phoenix Rise," which was a martial arts musical. Absolutely Fantastic! I look forward to returning to attend other wonderful exhibits/ events. The Shed's Upcoming Exhibits / Performaning Arts Events include: 1. Frieze NY 2024 - Contemporary Art Fair - 5/1/24 - 5/5/24. 2. Summer 2024 Open Call Exhibition - will display art from 8 new emerging artists. 3. Play - Shakespeare's King Lear - 10/26/24 - 12/15/24 Website - theshed.org Instagram - @theshedny

The Shed is a cool building that has some pretty cool exhibits. The one that is there now is Luna Luna. The space is spacious and has a few floors to it. There are escalators and there probably is an elevator but I am not sure. In the main entrance way there is a big sitting area with a nice bar that I believe serves bar snacks along with drinks obviously. The chairs and couches in this area are comfortable. Tickets for exhibits here are on the higher side and there are no discounts for NYC residents. Some museums do this. I also found out yesterday that there is a 15.00 fee to change tickets. I got a ticket for the luna luna exhibit on Thursday but thought it was for yesterday (Friday) and so I asked to change and there was the fee. And then also I had to pay more since here Friday is considered weekend ticket prices not weekday. So this part and the change fee kinda put a damper on my visit .

Sonic Sphere
Winny L.

Came to The Shed with friends to check out Sonic Sphere given all the hype on how cool this was going to be. Paid $60/pp for The XX which of course was the hottest ticket as it was constantly sold out but we were able to get a slot when new dates opened up. Overall, the experience was just ok. Yes it was cool to it sit above ground in a sphere to listen to music and watch the lights change in sync. But 40 minutes of just listening to the original album was a disappointment. Had expected more out of the experience overall. We were able to sit in the middle of the center net (hoping not to fall through the entire time) vs sitting in the seats. Seating is first come first serve. Please note that there are flashing lights so so may not be suitable with anyone who suffers from epilepsy or bad migraines... Use the restrooms before you enter the sphere as no exit until the end of the event. Also, keep small items in a bag as they may fall through the sphere and onto the ground below. Definitely can say that I checked it out...

Great venue! Close to Hudson Yards, parking is hard for my NJ family. Recommend to take ferry, bus or subway to get there. There is a lounge area by entrance with bar/couches/light bites. Currently the venue is hosting the Luna Luna exhibit. Great venue, organized and clean. They sell a membership that did not convince me, but worth checking out if you go often.

Waiting room before KAGAMI
Jeannette L.

On Friday, I saw one of the preview shows of KAGAMI, a mixed reality concert experience that is a collaboration between the late Ryuichi Sakamoto and Tin Drum. It was held in the Griffin Theater, which is at the top floor/level 6 of The Shed. KAGAMI is a 50 minute experience where you are enclosed in the performance space with about 80 other attendees, wear a headset for the VR/AR experience, and can - if you wish - move about the space during the surround sound, concert performance. We purchased tickets weeks before. When we got to The Shed, we waited a little bit at Cedric's on the ground floor for doors to open for our scheduled show time. During doors, attendees were guided into a waiting area where images of Sakamoto and film footage were projected on the walls. (Also, in the waiting area, if you were an attendee that required a special headset due to corrective lenses, there was a station that did fittings for you - note - there's a limited number of these special headsets). Once it got close to showtime, doors on one side of the waiting area slid open. Attendees were guided into a room with about 80 chairs set up in a circle, surrounding a performance square in the middle. Once you took a seat, tech staff handed your headset and gave instructions on how to use the set, what to do during the performance, and where to go if there were any tech difficulties. Considering the number of attendees and the short amount of time they had to get everyone one in and settled, Shed staff were all friendly. The show was a cool experience. Once I got acclimated to the equipment and to what was happening, it truly was a uniquely immersive experience and very moving. It's particularly special as Sakamoto passed away a few months ago; you could tell there were some fans in the audience. However, even if you aren't a fan, I would recommend seeing the show if you're at all curious about his work or music (KAGAMI runs until July 2nd).

The music is a blend that draws heavily of hip-hop, rap, R&B, soul, pop, and traditional Broadway show tunes. Modernized to 2015 era. Theatre patrons will not fall asleep. Theatre patrons will not be bored. Your ticket price paid is worth the theatrical experience. 3. It is based on the biography Alexander Hamilton, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States who was an instrumental supporter of the U.S. Constitution who fought alongside President George Washington in the Revolutionary War. His work laid the foundation of America whose face is worthy to be depicted on the U.S. $10.00 bill. 4. It depicts history of Hamilton's journey beginning as a Caribbean immigrant rising to America's first Secretary of the Treasury. It is deeply rooted in New York City history. It depicts American history of the opposition fight for independence and creation Independence of United States of America. He is buried in Trinity Church, Financial District, Lower Manhattan, NYC. It also narrates Aaron Burr's rivalry and jealously Hamilton's strong ambition, brilliance, and determination to rise. "Hamilton wrote the other 51!" Running time: about 2 hours and 45 minutes including a 15 minute intermission. I went to the room where it happens. I write this review like I was running out of time. Yesterday is a memory. Today is an opportunity. Tomorrow is not promised. Non-stop. Keep writing! I tell my story of my experience. It was exciting, lively and upbeat which does takes you back in time of Revolutionary America in 18th century period clothing with modern language and modern music. Ticket prices are highly extortionate! Tickets starts $127.00 to $155.00 for upper balcony or standard face-value seats. My rear orchestra center ticket was an astonishing extortionate $228.00! Hamilton, the Broadway musical makes use of the Richard Rodgers Theatre's double-nested rotating stage (turntables) prominently to create a dynamic, continuous movement and cinematic flow. I wish I saw the 2015 original cast Alexander Hamilton (Lin-Manuel Miranda) and Aaron Burr (Leslie Odom Jr.). Wait for it. Forward, eleven (11) years later I am now seeing it in 2026. I now have another Playbill and Broadway show ticket to add to my growing Playbill collection. Casting is non-white actors as the Founding Fathers of the United States and other historical figures for inclusion and equality. As per Lin-Manuel Miranda, songwriter, actor, and producer who described Hamilton: "America then, as told by America now." There is no traditional stage curtain for this Broadway show, but it did start and end on time - on point. There are 34 musical numbers total (17 musical numbers in each Act). The narrative is almost entirely sung and rapped through, thus, the numbers flow directly into each other without the traditional pause to segue in-between numbers. There is very little dialogue for spoken word as I would like a mix. There are occasional expletive explicit laden lyrical lines/ verses depicting strong explicit language "goddamnit." This includes uncensored F-word during the indiscretion of Hamilton's affair. "Cabinet Battle #1" & "Cabinet Battle #2" feature insults and harsher colloquial terms as "pain in the ass" and "shit." There are other numbers where expletive explicit laden lyrical embedded are "bastard" and "whore." Surely, my teddy bears speak more eloquently than thee! The costumes replicate 18th century Revolutionary era including U.S. founding fathers in white linen or lace cravats. My predilection for Hamilton musical numbers are: Satisfied Wait For It That Would Be Enough Yorktown (The World Turned Upside Down) Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story Live with intention. My passions and interests entice me to pursue more to look around. "When everyone who loves me has died" this I can absolutely relate. "Death does not discriminate. It takes and it takes and it takes. I am the one thing in life I can control. I am an original." These versus resonate depth for meaning. Rise Up!

Not Slytherin. Not Slytherin. I have been a Harry Potter fan since the early 2000s when the first book by J.K. Rowling was printed and released. I absolutely refused to see a double-day / two-part play show format 5+ hours to be left hanging and return another day/time as it was originally produced, but this has changed which prompt as my reason to see it years later in 2026. This Broadway play does not play John Williams' film score "Hedwig's Theme" as I had desirable hoped. I do believe in magic. I saw Tom Felton perform his originated role as Draco Malfoy from the film franchise. As per "New York Theatre Guide" Tom Felton reprise his role as adult Draco Malfoy now through January 3, 2027! Run time: 2 hours and 55 minutes, with one intermission. One word: WOW! The narrative was at first somewhat difficult to follow especially the Time-Turner Effect scenes of what exactly did Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy changed or prevent from occurring? The set design, staging for quickly moving set, props by swirling long robes without revealing stage hands' faces, costumes are great and resonantly brought the viewer into J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter world as an adult nineteen (19) years after J.K. Rowling's final novel, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" of Harry, Ron and Hermione. The special effects including character swap Polyjuice Potion, including Dementors menacing floating near the audience and aerialist stunts in duels were amazing. I particularly like the special effects from Time-Turner for use of projection mapping high-powered projectors cast warping, liquid-like visual distortions; acoustic design low-frequency sound waves and the entire set appear to bend, stretch, and ripple effect like a disturbed puddle reverberating into the auditorium. The clocks placed in the corners of the stage spun recklessly rapidly. WOW. Voldemort's half-daughter leaves "invisible" scribbles on a bookshelf to be decoded by a black light above the audience visible on the ceiling and balcony facade projected throughout the auditorium walls in an eerie shade of green which garnered a lot of oohs from the audience including myself. Oh! Hot air emitting from Scorpius' ears after he eats candy is very comically humorous. The narrative does include and bring back old characters as the cruel villain, apathetic Dolores Umbridge and the wailing angst Moaning Myrtle and ill-fated Cedric Diggory. Moaning Myrtle's costume was not true to the book as her hair is not in pigtails and she is not wearing the Hogwarts uniform. Moaning Myrtle is depicted as grayed out who is a ghost. Draco Malfoy's iconic film line: "Scared, Potter?" and Harry Potter's response "you wish" are spoken resonate an echo in this Broadway play from the film. I purchased jelly beans and one chocolate frog. My chocolate frog contains Albus Dumbledore card. Yes, there is contained fire, and water tank underneath the stage.

Went through security around 4pm and waited in the peacock lounge until they 4:30pm when they started taking people to the studio. The show was amazing and it made me feel like I was in the year 2016!! This was the second time I waited on standby and let's just say the last time I went, I tried to give Jimmy a high five and fell... What was different was the musical guest was at the show and Jimmy let the audience ask some questions and I had a lightbulb moment. A couple people later he ends up picking me to ask a question and so I started with that my cat is named after him. And the last time I was at a taping, I tried to give get him a high five and fell. And then I asked if I could get a hug. And he jokingly said no at first, but then he said I'm not gonna leave you hanging without a hug and I started walking out of my row and met him halfway near the desk on the last row and got a hug!! He thanked me for being so supportive and I remember crying!! He asked if my cat was named Jimmy or Fallon and told me to tell Fallon that he says hi. I ended up getting another hug and went back to my seat afterwards. All I remember is someone else asking a question about working with Queen Latifah again and the musical guest performing. I'm just relieved that my sobs weren't caught in the background because I was crying throughout the performance. When the show ended, he went back into the audience giving them high fives and when he was at my row, he leaned over so I could reach without falling and shook my hand!! That made me cry even harder! I remembered crying while waiting for the elevator to go back to the nbc shop and thanking employee when they greeted me us. I'll never forget that day!

This was a fine experience. I'm not really a Fallon fan but the experience of watching a 'live to…read moretape' recording was pretty interested. We didn't have tickets, so we went to the gift shop at 30 rock through the 6th ave entrance to score some stand-by tickets. We arrived what I would call late, at about 11am. If you want to get these stand-by tickets I'd recommend arriving as close to 8am as you can, because every ticket is numbered and they can only fit so many people into the studio (they will always try to fill it). If I recall correctly the tickets said to come back to 30 rock at 3:15 but note - if you arrive a bit later, say 3:30, it won't effect your chances of getting in - the most you can do to increase your chances to see a show that day by walking in is to get there at 8am when they first start giving out the numbered stand-by tickets. Also, while they say you cant bring in bags, I had a smaller sized north face backpack and my friend had a large plastic bag and a small purse. If your number gets you in to see the show that day, you will pass through security like at an airport. Everything is extremely orderly and organized, the only stressful part is 'am I going to get in to see the show or did I just spend an hour and a half of my day for nothing.' My friend and I just got in under the wire, with the guy behind us being the very last person to stand-by for this day's show (there were about 56 stand-by visitors accepted that day). You will have an opportunity to use a bathroom before you sit for the filming, so don't be concerned about that. If you're a fan of TV or of Fallon you might prepare a question or two to ask him, he took a number of questions from the audience. The funniest one was 'are you going to use that entire bit you just did' because Jimmy and Drew Brees spitting pumpkin seeds went on far, far, FAR too long, about 3? minutes, which was about 2:45 longer than it needed to be. Jimmy was quick with the 'no, that's going to be edited down.'

The band was great too, appreciated their "screech off" at the end. We got tickets from the TKTS booth and ended up 5 rows from the stage just a bit to the right. Great seats, we missed nothing. The set was well done and how the cast used the different chairs and arrangements was cool. I'd highly recommend this show on Broadway (before it ends on October 2nd!) or if it comes to a theater near you. We knew the premise a bit but were blown away and Come From Away exceeded all expectations. I've been listening to the soundtrack ever since (& a lot of the cast is the same).

Come From Away is one of the best shows I've seen on Broadway…read more The show is amazing! 90 minutes of pure entertainment. It's a musical about the 911 flights that had to land in Newfoundland. It hits all the emotions in a short time. I found myself laughing, falling in love with the characters and even felt a tear here and there. There's no intermission, so before you know it the shows over. I paid full price through American Express but when my husband came to join me a week later, we were able to get tickets at the TKS booth in Times Square for $75 a piece ( which was more than half off what I paid the first time!) and for both shows I was able to sit center orchestra 6 rows back. Totally enjoyable both times. The music was great and the actors were even better. I highly recommend this show. If you're in NYC between 1/18 - 2/13/22 check out NYC Broadway Week -they're offering 2 for 1 tickets on some great shows and this is one of them.
