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!

Love Trevor Noahs show. Great seats.

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.

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

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!

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.

Excellent venue. Amphitheater style. All seats are good. Excellent sound I was there for an awesome Steve Hackett (Genesis) show.

Review №8

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great time watching Masters of illusion, it was great. The parking was easy entering, but exiting required more assistance that the theater lacked. Lots of arguments and took very long to exit.

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.

Review №18

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 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.

Great venue, free parking and a ton of it. You can have the furthest seat in the house and still be not 50 yards from the talent! Drinks and food are at a reasonable price as well!

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.

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.

I love this venue. It is great wherever you are seated. It is a laid back friendly environment. Parking is a a pain AND if you sit very close it was hard to hear the singer clearly. It was muffled.

Review №33

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.

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.

Ed
Review №35

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!

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.

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!

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

Review №48

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.

The Johnny Mathis concert was fantastic! 1 star deduction for the parking situation. It seems like there were more cars than concert goers? So while we had to walk about 10 minutes from the neighboring commercial building parking lot the only upside is that we had a stress free exit!

I was invited to go see Sinbad at the last minute. The theater was cold and the show went on for nearly 3 hours. At some point nothing Sinbad said was funny. They charged $10.00 for three pretzel sticks and two of mine were burnt. I paid $6.00 for a glass of sprite with no top, designed to make you spill your drink. I am wondering why there was no heat on at the theater. If the tickets werent free I would want a refund!
