Hackensack Meridian Health Theatre at the Count Basie Center for the Arts

Count Basie rocks! The place is gorgeous with many spots inside to get drinks or snacks. Bathrooms are a bit small, but suffice. The seats are roomy with ample shoulder and leg room. Great view from the pitched floor and the loge gives possibly a better view. The area boasts tons of restaurants at all price levels and parking is usually sufficient. I found free street parking during a sold out show. The area is ultra safe and I would not fear for the safety of my vehicle. And the staff are really nice, seriously never met anyone there who wasn't jovial. And they have an outdoor section where you can smoke. They have all bases covered, except for hot food when you are running late and can't get into a restaurant in time.

I just saw a Brad Williams show at the theater. The show was hysterical and theater was amazing. It's in Red Bank, which is a very nice area. The only downside is there's not a ton of parking if you don't arrive very early.

Count Basie and the Vogel in Red Bank NJ is our answer to NYC.. Without the crime, the high price parking, commuter taxes and long trip and tolls. Tons of great restaurants close by too. Saw Dave Koz Summer Horns...recently.Great , great show! Improvements...hmmm perhaps one. Don't give us the bum rush at the end of the show. We might want to take moment to converse with new friends and relish the performance. We're your guests...not your pests!

We went to see Fiddler on the Roof. The show was excellent. Staff were warm and inviting. Seating went quickly. Intermission adequate, long lines for ladies room, but what show isn't. Seating comfortable. Very organized bringing you into building, seating and directing you after show. Refreshment staff was very nice. Popcorn delicious and made just right.

Fantastic theater with amazing acoustics and a terrific staff. So beautiful inside and very well organized and taken care of.
