"South Pacific"

I recently went with my oldest son to see South Pacific here and everything about our trip was absolutely wonderful. Lincoln Center, the theater, itself was breathtakingly gorgeous and everyone who worked there honestly tried their hardest to make us as comfortable as can be. The show itself was fantastic, it is truly a classic. I would definitely recommend South Pacific to anyone who can see it; it's definitely worth it and it ends for good this summer, August I believe!

"Be sure to check out the family productions"

Possibly the finest performing arts complex in the country, this multi-arts center is the home of the Metropolitan Opera, the New York City Ballet, the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, the New York City Opera, the Film Society of Lincoln Center, the School of American Ballet, and the Juilliard School, as well as jazz and chamber music programs. Each offers a full schedule of seasonal performances, several present shorter family versions of their productions, and some dress rehearsals are open to the public.
