"Saw Ilana Glazer here. Nice space with good views from each seat. The steepness of the upper balcony is a bit intimidating, but overall great venue"
"I took pics and videos just for Google. I feel like I should be compensated. Like this is a brand. But anyway I went to see "Truth Be Told" by Nneka O. This documentary took us through a spiritual journey for how LGBTQ community has been oppressed in melanated church. However, it dives into how hypocritical the churches governance is and how it uses anti- queer comments to condemn when it's convenient. While the church leaders are living in sin. Then Pastor Pam who has her own congregation, welcomes and guides the lost and broken spirited youth and help them reconnect with family. BAM was the perfect place to hold the sold out movie premiere of "TRUTH BE TOLD". If you can you should check it out . Then come comment so we can discuss it. Let me know if you enjoyed the footage. ~Thanks for reading Vaseah!"
"Gorgeous theatre but the flow of foot traffic sucked. It was super cramped in the lobby, and it was even worse when waiting to get into the balcony section. Bathrooms on that floor also seemed insufficient (seems to be a running theme with performance venues never having enough stalls in women’s restrooms). Stairs in the balcony area were also SUPER steep; I saw at least three people trip while getting to their seats. Staff were all very friendly and helpful though."
"It was my first time coming to this theater. It's a very convenient location and the theater is beautiful. The acoustic is great for a rock concert and I'm sure it's even better for opera or a stage show. The staffs are very courteous, that makes the experience even better. I was seated in the balcony section and I got a great view of the whole stage, I suspect there are no bad seats in the house (other than the ones next to the support columns). Be careful walking up and down the stairs, as they are very steep and quite a few people tripped. Although that's common for theater designs, please be careful to avoid injuries. The bathrooms are kept very clean and that's always a plus. I came here to see Madonna and I went home happy though she kept the whole theater waiting till 10:30."
"I went here to see Jimmy Kimmel Live and I loved the venue. BAM is huge and has a lot of seats, 3 floors worth. The staff is really friendly and nice. There are a lot of public restrooms. I would definitely go here for another performance. Would recommend checking this place out."
