Hart Theatre at The Egg Concerts 2026-2027

Just recently saw the McKrell's /Get Up Jack concert & Motown nite at the Egg, which were our first visits there in quite some time. I forgot what an awesome venue this is for an extremely intimate and comfortable performance setting. They have a nice setup for refreshments (now allowed in the performance hall). My only complaint is the very narrow access hallway to the small sized restrooms on the main level of the hall. On our 2nd visit, an elevator operator came around the corner and advised the people in the huge lines they could take an elevator down to the very large concourse level restrooms.

Beautiful theatre, you can’t go wrong with where you choose to sit they did an incredible job with making sure your view is not obstructed. Sat bottom mid left and noticed that those who were top left still would have a good view.

I saw the Mark Morris Dance Group here and was impressed with the venue as well as the performance. It was an excellent introduction for my first visit. - MAL

The Egg in Albany, also known as the Empire State Plaza Performing Arts Center, is an iconic and unique architectural gem. Shaped like, well, an egg, this distinctive venue offers a variety of cultural performances and events. The exterior design is intriguing, resembling a spaceship, and it stands out amid the government buildings that surround it. Inside, the performance spaces are well-maintained and acoustically impressive. The intimate atmosphere provides an up-close experience with artists and performers. It's a great place to catch concerts, dance performances, and other artistic events. The location in the heart of Albany makes it easily accessible. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor, The Egg is worth a visit for its architectural quirk and the diverse array of shows it hosts.

The Egg is one of those things you see when driving that makes you do a double take the first time you see it. Inside it is awesome. The worst thing about here is getting inside and leaving an event. There is no hot food and the drink selection is almost embarrassing. Coming here for a show? Not a bad seat in the place. You could sit in the last row to the side and still have a great view.
