Beacon Theatre

Frommer's Review

This pleasing midsize Upper West Side venue -- a 1928 Art Deco movie palace with an impressive lobby, stairway, and auditorium seating about 2,700 -- hosts mainly pop-music performances, usually for the over-30 crowd. Featured acts have ranged from street-smart pop diva Sheryl Crow to a Hall & Oates reunion to a befuddled Beach Boy Brian Wilson to Grateful Dead heirs apparent Phish to not-yet-deads the Allman Brothers (who play an always-sold-out 2- or 3-week gig each spring giving more than a dozen performances). You'll also find such special events as the bodybuilding "Night of Champions" on the mix-and-match calendar.
