Time Out says

Before Lincoln Center changed the cultural geography of New York, this was the home of the New York City Ballet (originally known as the Ballet Society). City Center’s lavish decor is golden, as are the companies that pass through. You can count on superb performances all year long, including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, the Paul Taylor Dance Company and the invaluable Encores! musical-theater series. In September, the Fall for Dance Festival features performances by an assortment of companies.

What’s on

Ballet Hispánico: Carmen.maquia

Ballet Hispánico returns to City Center with a reprise of its first evening-length narrative ballet, 2014's Carmen.maquia. Choreographed by Gustavo Ramírez Sansano, the piece is based on the classic Bizet opera and incorporates Spanish paso doble and flamenco.

My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?)

After hit runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and in the West End, the twentysomething British writer-performer Rob Madge was scheduled to bring their solo show to Broadway in 2024, but those plans fell through. Now, at last, Madge makes the leap across the pond—if only for a weekend jaunt—in a Pride Month engagement at City Center. Expect a joyful exploration of queer childhood and family love as Madge extends their penchant for dress-up into adulthood.
