The **New York City Center** is one of the most influential performing arts venues in New York City. Located at 131 West 55th Street in Manhattan, it serves as a beacon for enthusiasts of dance, music, and theater. The Center was established in 1943 and has since played host to numerous notable productions, resonating with the key artistic transitions that have marked the evolution of performance art in the heartland of the greatest city in the world.

Emerging from its humble beginnings as an alternative center for artists who couldn't afford Broadway, the Center has turned into a reputable institution that neither compromises on its values nor its commitment to delivering the highest quality of artistic productions. Special mention goes to their yearly Fall for Dance festival, an exciting event that showcases the arts performances from international dance companies and uniquely affordable tickets.

The architecture of the theater itself is striking, boasting a distinctive neo-Moorish design and luxurious interiors that enhance the overall experience of the performances. With a seating capacity of 2,257, the Center is the perfect midpoint between intimacy and scale.

**Getting There**

The New York City Center is easily accessible by public transportation. The closest subway stops are 57th Street - 7th Avenue (N/Q/R/W), 57th Street (F), and 55th Street - 7th Avenue (B/D/E). Alternatively, if you're driving, there are several parking garages located nearby, although be aware that parking in Midtown Manhattan can be challenging and expensive. Those wishing to bike will find numerous Citi Bike docking stations in the vicinity.

Architect Harry P. Knowles designed New York City Center, which was built by Clinton and Russell in 1923 for the Shriners under the name of The Mecca Temple. Amid the financial crash of 1929, the building became city property after the Shriners were unable to keep up with tax payments.

Former Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia and New York City Council President Newbold Morris decided to convert the temple into Manhattan’s first performing arts center. The building opened as a theatre in December 1943.

New York City Center is known for its annual Encores! productions since 1994, which restage seldom revived American musicals in concert or semi-staged incarnations. The venue received a Tony Award for Excellence in Theatre in 2000.

Since its launch, New York City Center has become one of the city’s prime venues for dance.

In addition to the 2,557-seat mainstage, the facility houses two smaller theatres — Stage I and Stage II, where Manhattan Theatre Club has hosted its Off-Broadway productions since 1984 — and four studios.

## How to get to New York City Center

New York City Center is closest to the 57th Street station on the N, Q, R, and W lines and the 7th Avenue station on the E, B, and D lines. The nearest bus stops are 6 Av./W 55 St. on the Q2, Q3, Q4, and Q20 lines; and 6 Av./56 St. on the Q10, Q12, and Q24 lines.

As with *Cost of Living* and *Sanctuary City*, Martyna Majok has a knack for exposing realities not often seen on stage. Championing characters from marginalized backgrounds, Majok is a wise, empathetic, and diligent storyteller.

Now, she brings heart and smarts to *Queens*, a story about multiple generations of immigrant women. Living in a basement apartment, they fight to launch a new life. But when a young Ukrainian woman comes searching for the mother who abandoned her years ago, she forces a reckoning with the impossible choices the women made to survive.

With an ear for sharp dialogue and a desire to spotlight unsung New Yorkers' lives, *Queens* chronicles the strivers who sacrificed whole worlds for the chance at something remarkable. What does it mean to leave your home and find one, and a family, somewhere else? Never interested in clean answers, Majok instead explores the singular grey areas that make us human.

## What to watch for
- Martyna Majok wrote the book to the musical *Gatsby: An American Myth* at A.R.T.
- *Cost of Living* was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play.
- MTC has won multiple Pulitzer Prizes, including for *Proof* and *Doubt*, over its decades as a leading off-Broadway theatre.
- Lynne Meadow recently announced that she would step down as artistic director after leading Manhattan Theatre Club for over 50 years.

*Queens* is an epic American story about multiple generations of immigrant women, all strivers and dreamers hungry for a new life as fresh revelations threaten to tear them apart. 

See this illuminating new play from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of *Cost of Living*, Martyna Majok. *Queens* plays at Manhattan Theatre Club, the renowned theatre known for originating hit new plays like *Proof* and *Doubt: A Parable*. 

See *Queens* off Broadway and meet multiple generations of immigrant women, all living together in an illegal basement apartment in Queens. There, they look to forge a new life and find a chosen family while also confronting the lives and ghosts they've left behind. Then, a young Ukrainian woman arrives, searching for the mother who abandoned her years ago. In a new land, she forces a reckoning with the impossible choices countless women have made to survive.

Obie Award winner Trip Cullman is no stranger to Manhattan Theatre Club's bold new works; recently, he directed *Choir Boy* and *We Had a World*, a New York Times Critics Pick, on its stages. Now, he returns to direct Majok's play about strivers who sacrificed whole lives and cultures.

Majok has a knack for highlighting the lives of characters who are often marginalized, and as such absent from the American theatre. An immigrant herself from Poland, Majok understands the pursuit of the American Dream and the price of living between cultures. Her new play shines a light on the immigrants who make New York special but are often kept in the shadows.

Despite those specificities, critics have noted how Majok finds the universal in her plays and characters. "If you don’t find yourself in someone onstage in *Cost of Living* you’re not looking," The New York Times wrote of her Pulitzer winner.

Known for her dark humor and individual characters, Majok is a compelling voice who writes startling new plays that demand to be seen.

The cast of Reunions features a smattering of Broadway talent: Bryan Fenkart (*Memphis*) as Sir Harry, Joanna Glushak (*War Paint*) as Dona Laura, Chilina Kennedy (*Beautiful: The Carol King Musical*) as Kate, Courtney Reed (*[Aladdin](https://www.todaytix.com/nyc/shows/105-aladdin-on-broadway)*) as Lady Sims, Daniel Torres (*Evita*) as Edward/Juanito, and Chip Zien (*Into The Woods*) as Don Gonzalo.

“When I first started writing Reunions, I envisioned the show in New York and here we are with a great cast and team,” said bookwriter and lyricist Jeffrey Scharf. “The underlying materials are wonderful examples of dramady with a shared theme that is timeless and universal – who hasn’t wondered what a ‘we meet again’ moment would be like?  Musicalizing heightens the impact and poignancy in a way I hope audiences will find entertaining and relatable.”

In addition to Scharf, the team includes Jimmy Calire (composer) and Gabriel Barre (director and choreographer), who staged *Amazing Grace* on Broadway.

## What to watch for
- The play *The Twelve Pound Look* takes place in London a century ago and follows a man who is about to be knighted.

*Reunions* is a new musical that asks what happens when you rediscover the life you almost lived? 

Get *Reunions* tickets on New York Theatre Guide to experience this unique musical about second chances that combines two charming plays into one new show. *Reunions* off Broadway plays at New York City Center Stage II this fall and winter for a limited run only. Featuring a sparkling cast of musical theatre talent, *Reunions* is a special show about how it is never too late to rediscover the life you almost lived. 

In *Reunions* off Broadway, one musical presents two acts, one per play reimagined for this singing story. The first, *The Twelve Pound Look*, takes place in London a century ago and follows a man who is about to be knighted. Based on the play by J.M. Barrie, the creator of Peter Pan, the play is a ripped-from-the headlines look at issues of social class, a modern woman's role, and the high price of success. 

The second, *A Sunny Morning*, takes place in a park in Madrid where the hope of love springs eternal, even among 70-year-olds. That work is based on the enchanting play by Spain’s prolific Quintero Brothers.

The combining of two plays allows for a unique musical experience. “When I first started writing Reunions, I envisioned the show in New York and here we are with a great cast and team,” said bookwriter and lyricist Jeffrey Scharf. “The underlying materials are wonderful examples of dramady with a shared theme that is timeless and universal – who hasn’t wondered what a ‘we meet again’ moment would be like?  Musicalizing heightens the impact and poignancy in a way I hope audiences will find entertaining and relatable.”

The cast of *Reunions* includes Bryan Fenkart, Joanna Glushak, Chilina Kennedy, Courtney Reed, Daniel Torres, and Chip Zien. The team also includes Jimmy Calire (composer) and Gabriel Barre (director and choreographer). Tickets to *Reunions* in New York are available now.
