My mother, 3 daughters, and I went to see Wicked. It was wonderful seats and a beautiful theater. My husband and I along with 2 of our friends went in the spring to see The Thorne!! Wow, oh wow.. it was amazing. I dont believe it matters where you sit the seats are awesome. The few steps you go down to get to the lower seats are easily accessible, but they also have a small elevator which holds 3 people or a wheelchair and 1 person comfortably. The parking is really close by, but it is a madhouse to get out. You need to know how to drive in back to back traffic.
Great venue for theatrical performances! Had a wonderful experience at the final stage performance of Wicked. Lots of excitement in the lobby, friendly staff (concessions, souvenirs, seating attendants). Remarkable, talented performers and orchestra. Stage sets were fantastic. Bravo!
We had a wonderful evening at the Belk Theater in Charlotte! My husband and I came to see Ain’t Too Proud to Beg and were blown away by the performance—the talent, music, and energy were unforgettable. The theater itself is beautiful, with comfortable seating and great acoustics. One thing we really appreciated was that drinks and snacks were allowed during the show—it made the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. From the friendly staff to the seamless entry process, everything ran smoothly. We can’t wait to come back for another performance!
Beautiful theater. Seating is spectacular even in the balcony. Acoustics are good. Rick at the box office was super helpful and generous to us, with 5 last minute tickets a few minutes before the show!!
I had the privilege of seeing‘Immediate Family’ last night at the Booth Theatre (1st time at this venue). I must say that I was entirely enthused with the performance as well as the atmosphere. It was an intimate setting and the acoustics and view were outstanding. I will definitely be returning in the near future. Thanks for the hospitality, you all do an awesome job with your duties and I love it.
