New York City Center
New York City Center Review
Pause as you enter this neo-Moorish building, built in 1923 for the Ancient and Accepted Order of the Mystic Shrine, and admire the beautifully ornate tile work that plasters the lobby. City Center's 2,200-seat main stage is perfectly suited for its role as a showplace for dance and special theatrical events.
Many distinguished companies are based here, including City Center's Principal Dance Company, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, as well as New York City Opera and Manhattan Theatre Club. The calendar is rounded out by a roster of productions by the center itself and by renowned visiting artists, including the popular Encores! musicals-in-concert series. Tickets for City Center's annual Fall for Dance festival cost $15 and sell out quickly.
