Center Stage At Herberger Theater Center

I ordered tickets online for myself and my boyfriend to see "The Empire Strips Back" on Oct. 4th, 2025 at The Herberger Theater Center. We walked to the venue, so I have no comment about parking. However, our show was supposed to start at 9:30pm, but the earlier showing was running a little late and so we were waiting outside for quite a while before we could choose our seats. We were invited to enter the lobby area of the building to order drinks, use the restroom, and buy some merch, so that helped to pass the time. Since I paid for Row A seating (the closest to the stage aside from the VIP section), I was invited to sit anywhere in those rows- so the rows themselves were reserved, but no specific seats, so you'll still have to call dibs on your preferred spot. As a 5 ft 8 in woman, the seating felt a little tight for my liking. Most people stood up for me to get passed them, aside from one lady, and when I walked past her I was worried my hips would smack her face. Other than that, I didn't have any problem watching the performance- nobody blocked my view and I think if I sat further away, I'd still have a decent view of the stage. We had a heckler in the crowd who kept yelling obscenities as the host of the show, fortunately by the second act he was removed from the event. There was a 15 minute intermission for the show, which was a good opportunity for more drinks or a bathroom break. I recommend using the restrooms on the second floor, as they are more hidden than the first floor. I'm glad I went to this event, and I would consider returning to the Herberger Theater Center when they have any other fun events in store.

Beautiful venue! Great sound! I showed up late to my show, but all the way to the top right, still wonderful!

Great theater, I went with my friends to see a burlesque show called The Empire Strips Back (check them out on insta!!). The staff were friendly and there was drink service as well, along with the venue being clean and well-kept. Would definitely go back, and I highly recommend that area for bars and restaurants as well.

This show was absolutely incredible! I had no idea what to expect, but it was beyond entertaining!! The dancers were so talented and each set was so well choreographed. The music was perfect! I’m not a Star Wars fan, but this was so much fun; I highly recommend!!

We seen The Empire Strips back and the venue was amazing. Seats were great, prices were also very reasonable with many options for the show we seen. Will definitely come back again
