New York City has a "best kept secret" that is taking the city by storm!
On February 15, 1930 the Loew's Company opened a 3,293 seat Wonder Theatre designed by Thomas Lamb for vaudeville and movies. From the Opening Day Parade in 1930 to the recent sold-out Fernando Villalona Concert, the goal to bring "Times Square Entertainment" uptown has been successfully achieved. Purchased by Dr. Frederick Eikerenkoetter and Christ Community United Church in 1969, this historic "jewel box" was exquisitely restored and is still maintained for concerts and recitals, classes and lectures, Robert Morton Pipe Organ recitals (one of five such organs remaining worldwide), multi-cultural church activities (bilingual), as well as major film and television shoots.

If you live in an area where you have no access to public transportation and want to see a show here - DON'T - that's all I have to say. The area is not made for a venue that hold a few thousand people and there is ONE parking garage close by and one parking lot which was full when we got there over an hour before the show. We drove around from 6:50 to almost 9:00 p.m. to find parking and only got parking in the same lot we tried from the beginning when we were told it was full. We missed almost 45 minutes of the show and paid $50 to park. Let me tell you - wait until the artist you want to see comes to a different venue or take public transportation and if you don't have access to public transportation, DON'T GO!
