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

Bigfoot!

Grey Henson twinkled up a storm as the lovable manchild Buddy in the recent Broadway revival of Elf, and now he's playing another oversize outsider—a sasquatch with a heart as big as his instep—in this new musical comedy by book writers Amber Ruffin and Kevin Sciretta, lyricist Ruffin and composer David Schmoll. Director-choreographer Danny Mefford (Kimberly Akimbo) assembles an ace cast to play small towners who don't know what to make of the big guy: Crystal Lucas-Perry (Ain’t No Mo’), Jason Tam, Jade Jones, Katerina McCrimmon (Funny Girl's Fanny on the national tour) and SNL alum Alex Moffat, who excels at playing jerks.
