Absolutely incredible experience seeing Dracula: The Ballet at Keller Auditorium! The box office staff was an absolute delight; speedy, kind, and so helpful. I wish I had caught the name of the wonderful woman who helped us! Our seats were spectacular, and the entire performance was unforgettable. I highly recommend this venue for your next ballet, concert, or play. You won’t be disappointed!
Love this theater. We’ve sat in all areas and levels here. The staff are kind and helpful and the atmosphere is perfect for watching plays on the stage.
Elvis Costello concert was awesome! All seats are great here. We were in the back on the orchestra level. Pretzels are really good. Food and drink is a bit pricey but what do you expect. They are a bit heavy handed on controlling anyone from taking video and you feel a bit bad even taking a few pictures. Otherwise, staff was friendly and helpful.
A stunning and inspiring fountain greets visitors to the Keller Auditorium. Women will cringe when you mention the restroom, which really needs additional stalls. Aside from this, the auditorium is very comfortable. We saw The Lion King here and had a wonderful experience.
Beautiful theater! We were in section A near the front and still had good views of the Lion King. Seats are comfortable for a big guy. 3 parking garages nearby.
