Small theatre, but they have awesome bands and events. Definitely worth the trip. Only light bites such as empanadas and non-alcoholic beverages are served. Must have photo ID and vaccine proof.
Very nice area for walking and we flying arts!
Great performancesThe last one PrinceThe Purple Xperience
Nicely redone. Seats and venue are great, only Issue I had was that on a 90 degree day the ac was not working at properly.Even when empty the auditorium was hot
NO ONE answer the phone. I called to request a refund because I got my tickets in 2020. And now 2 years later it is a requirement to be vaccinated. Well if that was a requirment in 2020 i would have never gotten the tickets because I cant be vaccinated! Box office says I needed to speak to Janet Sanchez but that woman is never there. Everytime I call I am told she is out today or she just left for the day.... no matter the time of day I call. To be located in an educational area, Lehman center has NO education. They want people to donate to them. They got COVID relief funds but these big shots im the schools zalary didnt change. Guess what everyone struggled through COVID it was just your performing arts studio. At least you got some relief funds. People like myself didnt get to get any type of COVID relief but we busted our a$$ in order to keep things moving im this world. But you want to keep our money after waiting 2 years. I am sending this to the attorney general office. Yes! I am very upset!
Had a great time dancing to the tunes of Motown, watching the dancers, the awesome singing, costumes, & interaction with the audience. This place is a great date night experience. Over & Over again.
Selena great show at Lehman College Center. Lovely 💃🏽
My wife and along with family and friends went to see the Sonora Poncena. The orchestra and the songs played were great and it bought back some good memories. Unfortunately the sound system was terrible, it was unnecessary too loud. This happened before when we went to see Roberto Roena. Whoever was the audio engineer should have reconfigure the audio and balance the sounds. Lehman College should have a new audio engineer.
Over the years, I have attended the Freestyle Extravaganza here more than once, as well as Diego El Cigala a few years ago. Most recently in April 2022, I went to see Tango Argentina, a dance troupe who performs with the Fabrizio Mocata Quartet. The sound is quite good, the auditorium is not cavernously big, the seats are well-laid out. I am 5 foot 4 and have never had an issue seeing the entire stage.
Loved the show at the Lehman Center tonight! Fun and Innovative dancing !
THE PARTY WAS FUN, ENERGETIC GOOD VIBES AND ALSO RELAXED AT TIMES. THE PURPLE XPERIENCE 💜 WAS GREAT. ID DEFINITELY COME BACK AGAIN. THERES WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBILITY AND THE STAFF IS KIND, PROFESSIONAL AND HELPFUL.
5/7/22: Just seeing Motown with a twist. Omg. Bad. This performance doesn’t represent out best of Motown. I feel I’m in a talent show where contestants are trying to win. 😩😡
Saw the Free Style concert it was Awesome 👌
Great place for the Freestyle Concert
Great shows. This is my go to place for all shows Im glad its back open
Almost each seat is great! Love love the nutcracker event.
Venue was good. It is really annoying the entire campus is surrounded by gates and you need to find the one entrance they will let you in. We had to walk all the way around the rail yard and then were 15 minutes late to our show.
Performance was amazing. Lots of steps hard on knees. Especially in mezzanine. Also no railings make it difficult to go up and down.
Always a great experience and pretty much no bad seats in the room. The plugs are just some of the first floor seating. I couldnt take pics of the balcony seats.
Everything is good, I like so much,
All areas are a great view. Seats are very tight! There is no control over masking. People sneaking in alcohol and getting very drunk and loud in our area that night didnt let us enjoy every part of the show. They should check bags. And maybe turn the AC on when its hot?
Show was fantastic. Audience was feeling the fire. Looking toward to upcoming shows. The costs two stars.
Recently renovated and a beautiful place to come with family and friends, parking is a lil rough in the area come early..but an awesome time.Ive been to several shows.the best yet is La Sonora Poncenia legendary Salsa Orchestra with Papo Luca just Amazing show.
Lehman performing arts take the covid 19 pandemic...extremely serious.The check points security were efficient , professional and pleasant.Also entering the arts the greeters were pleasant...the facility was spotless and I felt extremely comfortable watching the performance which was excellent!!Considering whats currently sadly occuring at the broadway shows,I would highly recommend supporting and attending Lehman College Performing Arts shows
I loved the concert at the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts. It was performed by a group named Brazilian All Stars. They were great! The music was great! What made this concert even better was that it was free! I look forward to going back to Lehman Center for their upcoming shows. I am definitely happy that I went and would recommend that everyone go to the Lehman Center to see their shows.
Had a great time at the Prince Experience tribute concert. It was easier to get to than I thought.
I love the seating and the ambiance. I had a great time and will return for other performances
Nice Venue, Needs to be a bit more organized
Awsome night. Definitely will be returning for another event.
This is my second time watching a show at Lehman Center and the only reason I give it 4 stars is because the bathroom situation needs to improve. The lines are outrageous at any time. Last night they had people run outside in the cold weather into another building to use the bathroom and there was still a line there. Otherwise, staff is very friendly, stage sound is great, loud, and clear. Even though we sat close to the back we still had a decent view of the stage. The theatre is not too big and there was plenty of street parking. By the way, I saw the Bachatero Hector Acosta and he was soooo amazing 😊
Brought my girls to see the nutcracker for the first time. Was such an enjoyable experience. COVID checks in place. Cant wait to go again for another event.
Saw Stephanie Mills had a blast! Glad to have somewhere in the Bronx to have a decent night out!
Prince cover band was excellent and the performing arts acoustics was fantastic.
Really good show, my first time there and I loved it
Great performances by the legends of Free Style music. Cant wait for the next one.
Very good venue for live performance relevant to Bron residents!!
The A free wealth management group used Barbra Corcoran brand to promote a weekend stock option course for $ 997 for 2. Barbra did tell her story after the sign up. She said NOTHING about the wealth management plan, the smart ones were the ones who didnt go for plan and listened to Barbra story for free.
Always so organized and full off great shows.
Went to the Stephanie Mills & Howard Hewitt concert. Outstanding!
It was a wonderful way to start the holiday season... listening to Lord Nelsons Mass by Hayden
The place was good the concert was terrific my only complaint was the lady that was guiding us to our seats, she sat me in a different row and then came at me very unprofessional that I was setting on the wrong place, my friend you guided me to those seats, but besides that everything was fine I will return
It was great. The Drum Tao show was amazing, highly recommend!!!
Dope hip hip concert. Nice place good sound
Great artist excellent ambient for mature crowd the theater was very clean their personel followed COVID protocols
My experience at Lehman College was great Elvis Crespo great performance
Beautiful and big. Staff very respectful. Event very organized. Im proud parents Truman H.S. Graduation 2019
Famous Artist perform in a comfortable environment. Sound is not concert quality. Parking challenging... Affordable.
Miss my iatse crew there! Hope 2 see you over the warm season!
NOT handicapped accessible but staff was very helpful
Beautifully redesign, bathrooms spotlessly clean, I was welcome by the staff with warm wecomes and the show was great, Ill shall return soon!
Great venue. Great performance. Great overall
Worship Experience was Excellent. I enjoyed the Show.
Lehman collage is a great place. Very nice people at the door. The only thing there is no place to buy nothing, not even water.
Saw the tango show here and it was a great performance
Loved the concert with Puerto Rican singer Sophy but Lehman really needs to do something about their sound system!
I Always have a fantastic evening @ Lehman College, unfortunately this last event 11/19 was just disappointing & distasteful. A complete flop.The event was Celia, the play. Celia was a no show. There was a change & the had a dancer singing Celia songs. Im blessed that my daughter & I were fortunate enough to see the Celia play @ New World Stages on Broadway. Lehman dropped the ball with this event.
I installed all of the office furniture and everything is very high end to be one block from Jerome ave
Great venue. The attention is outstanding.
Went to see Elvis Crespo in concert and it was amazing. The Lehman Center was spacious, clean and the staff who were working were top notch 👍 They had a lot for parking and the $10 was worth not looking for a spot and it was close to the entrance of the campus. Overall a great experience and cant wait for the next concert there
Good value for Your hard earned dollar. Clean. Comfortable seats. Clean bathrooms. Appropriate temperature. Good selection of talented, varied, national and international artists and companys. Easily accessible via Mass Transit. Problems resolved relatively well. Recommended.
Had an awesome time last night at the freestyle concert.
I attended Lehman College thirty years ago, and decades later, work nearby. They put banners on the outer fence advertising various performances. Ten years ago, I took a chance and saw Chinese acrobats. I saw them again the following year, as well as several other performances of different kinds in later years: jazz, Japanese drums, ballet, and performance art.The shows are high quality. The seating is comfortable, and the service is courteous and efficient. They have recently renovated the entrance, and its nice. Its not extravagant, but it is clean, and comfortable.If you live in the Bronx, you really should visit the site, and attend a performance that interests you. Its more expensive than Netflix, but hopefully, youll have an experience that you can take with you. Also, as far as pricing goes, its a fraction of what you would pay elsewhere. If you dont live in the Bronx, its worth the trip.
Really good, went to the show and everything was fine
I have seen many shows at Lehman and have enjoyed them all. They offer a wide array of shows for all tastes. The venue is the right size so that wherever you sit you dont miss anything happening on stage. Prices are also reasonable for great entertainment unlike venues like Barclay Center and Madison Square Garden. The crowds are also more tolerable. I highly recommend Lehman Center.
Nice venue to have a show. Went on a class trip to see Pete The Cat.
It looks beautiful with its renovation and I love the shows and enjoyed my time besides is not to far.
Entering the theater was not well organized. It took a long time to get from the lobby to the auditorium. Long lines for womens bathroom and only one stall for mens bathroom. Show was adjusted from The Life of Celia Cruz to A Musical Tribute to Celia Cruz because the theater was not ready. The show however was great.
My high school graduation was conducted in this auditorium, which is very well kept and serves thousands of seats for the audience. I was struck by the roominess of the stage and cleanliness of the center. However, I must rate four stars due to the rudeness of the security guards. Although I understand theh must execute their responsibilities, a little kindness does not hurt. Overall, I would recommend your party to rent this hall!
I am first in love with the architect of this building! I love the marriage between concrete and glass, beautiful! I went there to see kingdom Chior on tour and was not disappointed. The acoustic, lighting and overall layout was above par.
I bought tickets for my parents as a gift. They loved every moment of the experience. The road to Lehman Center parking was clear, the parking was free, and the concert was great. Overall, an excellent experience and Id buy tickets and send them again. In fact, Id get a ticket for myself as well.
Sorry to say, the seats were too narrow and not disability friendly. My husband had to go down two sets of stairs just to get to our seats with his cane, I also speak for the other disable people. When they renovated they should have thought of this.
My favorite experience at Lehman Center is the Golden Oldies concerts. I have attended several of these, and they are the best! Its great to have this experience close to where I live, and the ability to park easily. The acoustics in the theater are excellent, the staff is accommodating, and the performances are top notch. Excellent value for your entertainment dollar!
Very fun interesting place to visit very entertaining the performance was outstanding looking forward to seeing many more
HAD A GREAT TIME
I had a great time. The ticket price was reasonable and I was pretty close. I recommend it.
Great spot. Ive been there for two of my brothers elementary school performances and a mentors movie premiere and each seat Ive had was a pleasant one. The acoustics in the center are great for audio projection.
I love it!♥️ Its a smaller setting. Way better than Madison Square Garden. I got to see Gladys Knight. Awesome show. I also saw the a Disco show with Tanvares, Richie family,Frances Joli, Fonda Rae,Sharon Brown,CeCe Peniston, awesome show!!!!! Love my Disco music
We Really enjoyed concert.
I seen several shows here and Ive enjoyed them all, the celebrities really try to put on a great show. However, I do have to voice this one complaint. Its about the audience members. People arriving up to a half hour or more late, other people just refuse to sit down and keep blocking the aisle, while others keep going back & forth making impossible for others to see & enjoy the show. I understand that people need to use the bathroom & such but I had to stand up to allow people through at least 7 times. Shouldnt happen. I dont enjoy paying all that money for my family & me just to keep getting constantly disrupted.
It use to be really nice but, now the concerts do not start on time. They make you wait for 30 to 40 minutes to start the show it used to be really good now not that much. I have been seating here to see hector acosta since 7:40 is 9 and the guy has not even show totally disrespectful and disappointed
Lehman Center for the Performing Arts provides great concerts and programs perfect for the entire family. The venue is very nice and clean. Whether you are attending a concert, a play or dance performance, I would highly recommend everyone to attend their events for an enjoyable experience.
Having a great time!!!The concert is fantastic!!!The music bring back memories.
Great venue for all types of entertaining. Tremendous old school salsa
A nice venue but with a warped pricing structure, paid $65 only to end up in one of the worst seats in the venue. I think youre better of paying for cheaper tickets. The queue for the toilets is also very very long and the police presence in the actual venue is unnerving. They should remove the front two rows, they are so badly placed and yet considered the best seats. Even the far left hand side of the front row is the highest price tier, youll be craning your neck with a view of almost nothing if sat there.
I dont drink coffee so no full disclosure necessary. The actual theater is fabulous but what they DO there, that goes beyond fabulous. This past spring we saw two world class ballets in our own backyard. It was a family friendly program that included Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty by two different Russian troops. It was so family friendly that kids were admitted for TEN BUCKS!! We had to pay more, of course, but still it was quite a bargain for two priceless afternoons.
I have been to Lehman several times to attend concerts. I have never had issues coming in, being helped to my seat or enjoying the events. It can get crowded in the lobby while waiting to be seated but that is nothing once you sit and watch shows. Myself and family loves attending all show @ Lehman Center. Excellent staffs there, and very organized.
Love, love this theatre! I have been coming here for over 10 years and have seen so many different salsa performers, show, concerts! I love that the theatre has a cozy kinda feel to it......the seats at any price are great, the ambiance has always been with class just an all around 5 star venue.
The Best Place To Enjoy A Live Show
I love the salsa concerts. You always have the best not only the oldies but the upcoming groups,However, the venue needs updating. Bathrooms are very few and the lobby is always crowded.Keep up the music,
Had a great time at the Performance Center
If you want to hear the best in Salsa this is the place. However, the place is beginning to show its age and is need of some upgrades. I was under the impression that they had received a grant to renovate the theatre, lobby and other areas, which was announced at a performance I attended, but have yet to see any work done. ????????? The lobby is a madhouse especially during intermission if you are trying to use the very limited number of bathrooms.The music is great, the location is great and parking is a piece of cake.It still gets four stars because to the music.
Fantastic Bronx-correct performances! Some of the greatest young and old Latin musicians! Good prices! Parking!! Nice theater...Everyone has a good view (not too big). We go multiple times each year.
I have been to Lehman several times to attend concerts. I have never had issues coming in, being helped to my seat or enjoying the events. It can get crowded in the lobby while waiting to be seated but that is nothing once you sit and watch shows. The acoustics are great and the actual concert hall felt cozy and welcoming. I also love that Lehman has an amazing roster of artists and ticket prices are accessible for most people. Definitely will continue to come to Lehman!
Saw Aint Misbehavin music of Fats Waller . It was awesome. Songs Ive heard and did not know they were his. The songs were presented with pictures of the era. Took me to a time and place before l was born. I loved it. Will never forget it .
Went to see the Celia Cruz experience. After we were seated we were informed that due to technical difficulties they would not be able to perform the show. We were told we had 10mins to go to the box office for a refund. There was a mass exodus from the theater & total choas as ppl went to get a refund. The box office closed because of the amount of ppl. They were disorganized & unprepared. Disappointing.
Great experience to see Russian National Ballet show last winter with my four-year-old. Love the $10 for kids promotion that i can bring my kids to enjoy the high quality performance. Thanks Lehman Center for offering such a kids friendly deal!
Took my wife who lived out the Salsa hey-days, herself, to see Willie Colon and his band a while back. We liked everything about the Lehman Center and applaud the effort to bring quality entertainment to the borough. That said, we both agreed that the acoustics of the auditorium left a lot to be desired, unfortunately.
We have seen several shows and concerts at the Leman Performing Arts Center and loved them all. Very comfortable seats and great sightlines from just bout anywhere. The shows and concerts that we saw were also top notch. The annual Rock and Roll concert was terrific with very good acoustics.We definitely recommend the Lehman Performing Arts Center for top quality shows and concerts.
I attended the Latin Legends with special guest Gilberto Santa Rosa concert at Lehman today September 22, 2018. The performance was superb!However, due to a recent seating renovation, seating was a disaster. Incredibly long lines for seating and, once seated, other customers appeared claiming they had purchased the same seats. In addition the parking lot was completely unattended, both before and after the concert, resulting in confusion and long lines entering and exiting the lot.I have been going to Lehman concerts for many years and have never experienced such chaos. Eva and Nereida: get your act together! Otherwise, you may begin to experience huge drops in ticket sales and many more empty seats. The artists and the public that support the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts deserve so much better.
Ive been here twice one in 2002 and now 2019 for the Yolandita Monge . nice place but lol Empanadas for sale lol the seats are not too comfortable but anyways its a great local venue with free parking and safe area .
Very disappointed with Lehman Performing Arts Center. Went with my sister and niece to see the Celia Cruz (Nov 2019) show and after maneuvering through hundreds of people in the halls without any assistance from Lehman ushers, discovered that the performance had been cancelled and was given a mere 10 minutes to go to the box office and request a refund. So could you just imagine, hundreds of people aiming to the box office! 10 minutes! are you kidding me? There was chaos this particular evening due to Lehmans below standard management direction. Lehman Arts Center did have a show replacement, but why did they wait until we were seated to inform us.We were not even informed when we picked up our tickets there the same day of the performance. Go figure....
Great experience! Enjoyed all of the talent that youve had perform. Alot of old school concerts that you cant find in other places. The space is easy to get to via driving or public transportation. Always a great experience.
Unfortunately, the show did not go on.We sat there for almost 45minutes to then hear that there were technical difficulties and she would only sing Celias song.We were told we had 10minutes to get our money back. It was chaos. People were very upset at the timing of when we were told.Since they knew this a better arrangement should have been done in an orderly manner to get slip for money back.The ushers should have given the slips and done aile by aile.No, every rushed to the box office. There was pushing and shoving, even people just pushing ahead of everyone else.It was very, very dis appointing. And I have tickets fo 2 other shows. Badly executed.
Lovely theater and campus. Though I must say the walk from the bus/train is quite a distance, its a beautiful spacious place to be! A suggestion is there should maybe be a trolly that picks u up and take you to the theater. But if not just prepare to walk for a lillte like maybe 10min or so. ;-)
Excellent place, nice en clean.
Great concert Sonora Poncena
Great sound for concerts. Good view from all seats
I had a wonderful experience. Visited the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts for the first time when I went to see the Ednita Nazarios Concert. The location is excellent - so close to my home and the ambience was great. I went with a group of family members and we all had a wonderful time. Thanks.
Celia Cruz the musical was cancelled and in its place they had an actress from the TV show sing the queen of Salsas songs. While that would not have been a bad thing, we came out time see the musical.
Me and my husband went to the lehman center for the first time to see Oscar d leon in May it was great well organized. The only thing I had a little issue with was the fans coming to the stage. I believe it is concert the the artist was trying to bring them down. That is really not good. there was officers there i saw but I think it needed to be tighter. Everything else was great. The performance was beautiful. I loved it. I hope you can bring Ismael Miranda to Lehman I love that artist. Thank You keep up the great work.
Have only gone there a few times, but always have left with a good experience feeling. have seen a few concerts and also some friends who belong to a church have held music fests there also. plenty of room in the seats, properly temperatured all the time and the staff certainly makes you feel comofrtable. so all around a 5 star rating !!!!!!
I was there on May 30th for the Mint Condition and Tone!Toni!Tony! concert. I had a wonderful time!!! The place was clean, the staff very professional. That was my first time at the Lehman Concert Hall and I definitely plan to go there again!
Super nice! We went for a church event. Parking was easy, campus is beautiful. When we got there it seated everyone that we needed it to, and it looked incredibly nice for a church setting.
On Nov 16 My friends has a surprise birthday present to a muscial play Cecila Cruz at Lehman Performing Arts. After traveling thru Uber to get to event we arrived we saw people being existed out complaining arguing that the event was cancelled. We proceed to continue to enter police activity was present at the door the police told us not to continue to go in the show was continue due to problems with musicians & actors not wanting to perform we were in shock. Many others were very upset & left we were told we would get fully refunded. It was a very cold night & now we needed to get another Uber to get back that night in traveling only cost $130 unreal. This was my birthday gift NO MUSiCAL SHOW! What a BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!!!!! Someone is responsible to refund the cost of these tickets. How would u Lehman respentatives feel if this happen to you or someone in you family! NO SHOW!!!The WORST experience!!! My sister is fighting to get reimbursed 6 tickets that’s alot of money! Yet NO REIMBURSEMENT! WE WANT OUR MONEY BAcK! Will NEVER go BACK there! Horrible experience. ReFUND people money!!!
Great concerts, food and drinks! Latin concerts have food empanadas provided Havana Cafe and drinks beer,wine and soda.😎Unfortunately no concerts since Covid 19 pandemic in mid March 2020.😷
Weve been going to Lehman for their concerts series for years. They have all types of awesome shows at reasonable prices. So if your into live shows this is the best place to go!!!!!!
Like coming to this venue because of convenient proximity from my neighborhood. Wonderful Salsa concerts, & other cultural shows, always something good & something for everyone! A true Bronx treasure!
I had a great time tonite..
The center is great (1st Time at night). Went to see BALLET HISPANICO! Um, not what I expected (underwhelming). Thank God the tickets were free. My daughter and I got extremely bored falling asleep & all!
It was awesome had such a great night in concert with my sister
It a great place for concert. We have a great time as a Family when we go. The only complaint is that the seats are very close together and uncomfortable for older people.
Full Disclosure: This review was written in exchange for $5 Starbucks gift card. Im not a reviews person but I agree its important to acknowledge good service, experiences, food, entertainment, etc. Some of us have limited disposable $$$ therefore we have to be selective where we spend our dollars. My wife and I have visited the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts for a Dru Hill Reunion concert featuring Jon B & Kenny Lattimore. Lehman Center was clean, organized and security was tight. The staff was friendly, courteous and we loved that they featured Mom & Pop kiosks selling everything from Fried Chicken to Empanadas. My only gripe is they stopped serving alcohol a bit early. But hey, we all gotta drive home safely, right? I recommend Lehman Center. check their schedule. They feature some very good musical acts very cheaply.
Very nice show and organized also parking lot
To start hats off to Ruben Studdard he was terrific!Had a great time with family and friends and would definitely go back. Look them up for future events. It was a great night.
Really enjoyed performance. Great venue, my only issue was correct entrance was not easily displayed, so a seniors Walked to one main entrance only to have to walk way around the large building
Have been there for a number of shows and concerts . Its a very nice venue. Plenty nice seating . Good acoustics.
I have been to a couple of latin concerts at Lehman and have enjoyed all the concerts. Very entertaining and I will definitely go to more concerts at Lehman. It is a place where you can go to see a concert and it does not cost too much. I gave four stars because you have to wait on long lines to use the bathroom.
I just sent my 5th email to the president of Lehman College Daniel Lemon in regard to the last minute cancelation of Celia the Musical. The Lehman Box office as well as Lehman itself has been non responsive. What is happening with the refunds that were promised to hundreds of people? This is not the way to treat loyal customers who pay good money to see performances at Lehman. I think it is safe to say that this has left a bad taste in many of our mouths as well as making our decision to pass on any future shows.This is not going away people!Ellen MatthewsOut $75 for the performance that never happened
The concert Hall.is located within the college campus. But.the guard would not let cars in. You have to park on the street, where is not very safe. They are eliminating people form attending concerts, because there is no parking. It is rediculous. The staff was very friendly. It.is a good size concert Hall. We went to see Cinderella ballet performed by Moscow Festival Ballet group. They have no vendors inside. Some strangely looking guy was selling candles, mnms and coffee.for a fortune. Seats are narrow. Overall... doubt, we will be coming back.
Old school rap was great.
I ve been to Lehman for a few concerts but most recently I was able to take my mother and grandmother to see El Grupo Niche. It was most definitely a night to remember. I liek that they bring back these great artists. The venue is perfect and the prices are great!
I purchased front row seats three months ago to see Tito Nieves concert. You would think they would call you out of courtesy to let you know that they had some reconstruction happening and the seats were eliminated that I purchased were not available and maybe offer you some different seats on the house without wanting to charge me the difference on the seats before I get to the event. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A VERY SPECIAL EVENT FOR ME AND MY DAUGHTER JUST TO BE DISAPPOINTED. Very sad very unprofessional on that PART of Lehman College performing arts center. QUESTION SO WHOS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PERSON OR PERSONS DROPPING THE BALL, I THINK THEY ASSUMED THAT I WOULD BE HAPPY JUST TAKE WHAT THEY HAD TO OFFER, I THINK NOT! WOW VERY SAD VERY VERY SAD ON THEIR PART. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND LEHMAN CENTER TO SEE A GIG. SO SAD.....
This was my first time at Lehman Center Performing Arts and I must say that I was pretty impress with the theater. Our seats were great and the sound was fantastic. Will be returning to this great theater!
I would like more security for the entrance. After that great
Excellent concert hall. All seats are great. The sound travels well throughout. The variety of performances held there meet the needs of all. Brava!
This is a very remarkable theater complex not only in The Bronx in particular, but also in New York at large. What I like the most about the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts is the ability of its curators to always surprise the audience with fresh, cutting edge, and classic performances covering the complex richness and multiplicity of nuances characteristic of Latin American and Caribbean cultural manifestations.
Very nice performance hall...all seats seemed to be good, at good prices...frinstance, my group of 9 saw Polish Mazowse performing, we had gotten the mid-range priced seats, and they were at balcony level, kinda close...the same at Koch Theatre in Lincoln Center wouldve cost 4x as much!
I graduated from Lehman college in 1985. Im always happy to return to the campus for events. Ruben sings Luther was excellent. I had a wonderful time.
My first time. Very nice, loved the ser yo and sitting chart. Great concern ar great price. Like variety of shows offered. Parking very cheap, just $10 :)
Hip Hop Fever was nice
I love all the performances Lehman Center has offered. What I especially love is that I am an alumni of Lehman College. So every chance I get to visit the campus, I enjoy it. Can’t wait to go again!
Great staff. Nereida and Diane are a great combo at the box office. Always patient and helpful in selecting seating. The best in representing Lehman College. Best in entertainment.
Singing and Acting were extremely Professional. Enjoyed the Professional Orchestra but too loud. Couldnt hear the lyrics at all. Dont know what they were singing about.
I am an alumni of Lehman College and have been attending performances at the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts for two decades. It is a great local venue with plenty of seating and great acoustics. The Lehman Center always provides a nice variety of great performances at reasonable prices.
As always Lehman Center for the Performance Arts is a little piece of paradise in the Bronx for all true artists. Artists in every sense of the word. If you looking for diversified unique and great entertainment in the Bronx, Lehman Center for the Performance Arts is one of your best options. 🎵🎹🎺🎻🥁📽🎬
Stephanie Mills and Howard Hewett in Concert🎙💖
I was there for a gospel show. Small problem with seating,had to be seated twice because parts of the auditorium is under construction. and parking was reasonablyst price $5
I loved the performance I saw at the Lehman Center. The environment is safe and the auditorium is huge. The staff are friendly and helpful. The experience was great!
The prince experience was Awesome!
Awesome Inauguration on progress 💪✝️🙏
The Lehman Center for the Performing Arts is a gem in the Bronx. The Center is a big venue but you dont feel lost in it. You feel like you are right in the performance. Ive been here twice. The first time was for a Michael Jackson celebration and the other time was for Parranda Navidena,
Nice performance arts center. Really need to provide more cultural programs. Seating in theatre very tight Access for people with walking disability is a TOTAL DISASTER.
Great theater. Have attended a few performances and I love the fact that it is not too big. Wherever you sit you get to see the stage good.
I saw Motown with a twist a must see
Since I discover Lehman Center I always look over for any performings, Is close to my house free and always parking and great shows with the most important affordable prices. No need to go to the city anymore :)Thank you
It’s a good place for live performances…
I attended the spring concert. They didnt charge for admission but it was so beautiful I had to donate. Very well done and the place is beautiful and comfortable.
I love all the performances Lehman Center.My wife says it is good location excellent acoustic and as a women she is very happy with that the place is very clean.Also the location is easy to get via driving or even by public transportation.I am not Llyudmila.I am Alex.
One of my favorite places.They present the best of the world a good price. From different countries. You can enjoy from Dominicana Merengue, to Russian Ballet. Fabulous ambient and beautiful place.

Next time its GIVEN, 👀PLAN 2 b RIGHT BACK THERE AGAIN, with my grand KIDS whom can dance the 🌙 🚶 💃 dance similar 2 MJ! 👀Wish they had some original tee shirts bearing that performance! We ❤💝💗 U MJ 😍😘😀
Went to see Diego el Cigala earlier this April. As always, the sound team was subpar, to the point where it was easy to read the frustration off of el Cigalas face. There were a few times where even his pianist had to pitch in with some hand signals to help guide the sound team. Ive done a few years of live sound mixing where the venue was always different, and attended multiple events at Lehman, el Cigala was by far the biggest name, enough to know that the sound mixing at this place regularly blows.Really wish my experience of seeing el Cigala wasnt so tainted.
The concert I went to see was very good , but is a very isolated place, and no security. The theather is very far from the street and they should have security guards and employees helping people how to get there.
A hidden gem, full of diversity and excitement. The shows will thrill the whole family and create bonds of understanding and lots of fun. The best cultural center in the Bronx
The worst. We just went to a SALSA music concert and people in the audience were playing MARACAS. Since when are people allowed to bring instruments to a music concert? They need to make an announcement at the beginning of the concert to make sure instruments other than the ones the band on stage are playing are not played during the event . Very unfortunate!
Beautiful concert with El Torito. Tremendo.
Beautiful show the Mexican valet
We attended Lehman College for the Latin Concert to benefit PR.It was amazing!!!Well Done!!!Always a Pleasure
I attended a Dru Hill concert at the lehman center. The staff very pleasant, and organized. I had a wonderful experience, I would consider another concert or event. here. Also, its very close to home.
Attended a dance recital @ Lehmans Concert Hall, which was very accommodating and entertaining!
The center is ok. The way Lehman sell the tickets and confirms the tickets through LocBox sucks. When LocBox sends invitation when gifts are given, the invitation has no information about the actual event! I tried calling the Box office at Lehman and the staff was incredibly insulting. They kept saying that they did not understand what I was saying. I asked to fax the sheet that I received so that they can see what I am talking and the Box Office Manager Nereida told me that I could fax it but she was leaving?Really? The invitation was for my father for a June 4th Salsa event. The poor man did not know what the invitation was about. I detest the people at your box office. Lack of professionalism and lack of communication skills.
The show was great but not enough of the stars came late talked to much naming every one although I had a great time it could have been better
Very nice and simple venue. They have many concerts going on all the time which gives variety to the mix of performers they bring in.
I love the Lehman Center for the Performing Arts. I am a graduate of Lehman College and always enjoy returning to the campus. The shows are great, the prices charged are reasonable and they have great performers! The Performing Arts Center is an asset to the Bronx.
The have very nice concerts
Excellent, everything that I was expecting, after almost two years waiting to be there again.
Freestyle is getting old. Every year its getting worse. Singers cant hold a note and dance and to top it off, they stopped selling beer and wine half way through. Not going to go any longer.
I always look forward to attending the great performances and having a good time with the wonderful art and they invite to entertain us. Great price and always a good time with the family.
I have enjoyed many shows at Lehman, my Alma Mater. From Julio Iglesias to Bronx Opera. Beats traveling into Manhattan, acustics are great.prices reasonable. A gem located in the Bronx.
Its a CUNY venue, so you get about what youd expect. The side seats are blocked by a waist-high concrete wall that is impossible to see over if youre short and isnt apparent on the seating chart.
I love Lehman Center for the performing arts! It is near my home so it is very convenient.The shows are excellent for the whole family.
Excellent, beautiful campus
It would have been a 5 except their seating chart on their website is old and we had to wait until they figured it out for our seats otherwise it was great. Staff was very professional helpful and nice.
Beautiful spaceous clean
Its always a pleasant place to visit. Its got great shows, great prices and most of all great parking. Dont miss a chance to attend any show.
Excellent concert venue in the heart of the Bronx. I attend concert at LehmanCenter for Performing Arts and I have yet to disappointment. Highly recommended.
Spacious auditorium can hold about 1500 audience. It host graduation ceremonies and concerts mostly. I like the place.
I love the shows, entertainment, and performers that Lehman bring. So worth it and the prices are reasonable. Thank you for all you do!
Love La Sonora Ponce`a. Great concerts. Easy Parking and food close by the venue.
Great medium sized venue for concerts. Excellent acoustics, comfortable seats, good vibes all around.

2022-05-14This is a great place to hold events but not really Hip Hop or events where people are inclined to dance due to the permanent seats in the auditorium. Theres a great stage and lighting is efficient . Im guessing that since the venue is a college they dont allow alcohol to be vended on premise so there were many disappointed patrons because of this. I was attending a huge iconic Hip Hop event with Bronx Hip Hop pioneers and legends. The ushers were a welcome addition who helped the patrons locate designated seating. I had a great time but wish there was space for those of us who like to get our boogie on without disrupting the view of others and security asking for us to be seated...at a HIP HOP event lol.

2022-05-31I usually deduct one star per difficult situation. My first issue was after I purchased tickets. I received an email confirmation with a link to access my tickets. Unfortunately the link didnt work so I called the box office. TEN DIFFERENT TIMES over two weeks!!!! The message states the box office hours and if one should hear the recording, they should leave a message and they will return the call. That never happened. Finally I was able to get through. They were very apologetic but never offered any reasoning. I did eventually receive the proper link and saw The Purple Experience. PHENOMENAL SHOW! Marshall Charloff was spectacular as Prince BUT, that is not where his talent ends. He is a master guitarist. Very very talented front man and band.My last issue is, they do not sell wine at the concession stand. Otherwise, I love the venue.

2021-11-21Lehman Center is great for affordable shows. They have an annual freestyle show that I havent missed in years. The variety is crazy. They have bachata, ballet, orchestras, and tons of tribute bands for all genres. On top of making it affordable, they do holiday specials on ticket prices. Parking on the street isnt that bad. You can find something within walking distance in a bit. The easiest thing is to pay $10 cash for parking across the street.

2022-06-21I went to high school at then Walton high School right next to Damon college. Some of the best years of my life and I often hung out at the track with some friends. The campus at Lehman college is absolutely gorgeous and as always the professors and students attending are always so polite and welcoming. I recently went for my nieces graduation which was held at Lehman college and man did it bring back memories. For anyone into performing arts you should really check out in college even if its just a quick visit.

2022-04-15Ive seen several shows over the years, and I can say that most of the seats on the stage level give you a pretty good view of the entertainment. I highly recommend this venue as one of the few Bronx facilities that offer a very good to premium entertainment at reasonable prices. I only saw one show from the balcony, but I prefer to sit at stage level for a better viewing experience.Ive seen Gladys Knight, Parliament Funkadelic with George Clinton, a Mothers Day show with Ted Mills, from Blue Magic, Ray, Goodman and Brown, and the Stylistics, with Russell Tompkins Jr absolutely killing it.I highly recommend this venue for family shows because they have $10 tickets for children under 12(?),I believe, which is a fantastic deal.I saw the Shaolin acrobats there and it was a marvelous exhibition. So look out for those family friendly shows that wont break your wallet.Now,of course, those were some years ago, but it was quite a treat.I want to commend the event organizers for providing many world-class cultural events from all around the world. From the Russian ballet, to Cuban salsa, to Mexican musicians, and their annual Forever Freestyle concert event that features legends of hip hop and freestyle. That event is happening April 30th. Check it out. The photos below are from the Selena tribute by the group Los Chicos del 512. They were very good and the crowd was really into it. Take advantage of a local venue that cares.

2022-05-22The venue is great and the seats were comfortable but the sound was too loud and not very good. If the singers did have good voices it was hard to tell by the sound system. FYI I sat up on the mezzanine.
