The Egg Performing Arts Center

Saw Sal Vulcano here a couple weeks ago. Parking was easier & seats were more comfortable when comparing both to seeing a show at Proctor's in Schenectady. Still payed over $50 for 2 beers, 2 waters, & 2 candy bars😫

I had not been here pre renovation, so I can't say anything about that 😐... Stage and seating area is now very pleasing to the eye and the egg shape is of course unique. But I would be remiss not to say that I would have expected for the women's restroom to have been enlarged as part of the renovation 😕! Were men in charge of the renovation? 😂

I’ve been to three of these concerts and they’re all excellent. Each time I try a different artist and I bring my husband, my friends, my mom and even bought our au pair a pair of tickets. I think everyone needs to experience the Candlelight concerts!

Great place to see a show, architecture is sooo interesting! The setting hold about 300? seats, so pretty intimate. Staff is friendly, shows vary - all very good. There was plenty of parking when I went, and I think there is underground parking as well that is cheap.
