This is s nice facility to see shows. We went and saw The Rock Orchestra by Candlelight on 10/21/25. The show was great. However, to get a beverage before the show starts requires you to arrive at least an half an hour before the show begins if not earlier. The parking is hood and it doesn’t really take too long to get out of the parking lot after a show ends. I would have given a five star, but I would have liked to have a drink before the show starts!
Bring a jacket or sweatshirt! We had to buy CAIN merch to stay warm 😉 This was our first time at this venue. Such a great experience and the staff was helpful getting us to our section. Seeing CAIN, Jon Reddick, Caleb & Jon and Annie Downs was awesome experience. They even did meet/greets afterwards.
First time here and it's amazing! Great view from any seat, The acoustics were great and the seats super comfortable. Shout out to the staff that was super helpful and accommodating!!
Seats are awesome. Plenty of free parking. I will be coming back for more performances! The Rock Orchestra really Rocks!
Barbara Mann is a wonderful space for all types of productions - concerts, orchestra, plays, musicals. I've seen quite a few concerts here and I don't believe there are any bad seats in the house.
