Under the Stars at the Time Warner Center

New York, New York, United States

The Stars

The "Under the Stars" show is a free light show in the lobby of the Time Warner Center (at Columbus Circle) in New York City. There are twelve 14-foot stars hanging in the lobby. They are illuminated from within, and the colors are choreographed to music. The show starts at 5pm each day, and runs until closing. The show probably runs until Christmas.

I was really impressed with this lighting installation. The colors of the stars were very vibrant, and they changed with an impressive fluidity. They also sparkled at appropriate places during the songs. Very neat! If you're in the area, definitely check out the stars here - it's a fun Christmas show.

Estimated Visiting Time

We spent about 20 minutes just watching the stars. You can view them either from ground level, the 2nd floor balcony, or a tiny spot on the 4th floor.
