Great location. Many restaurants along the way. Easy access to parking for $10-20. Workers are attentive and pleasant. I went to see a comedy Marcelo and a show Tina. Highly recomend.
We were there last week to see The Addams Family musical. I grew up with the Addams family and thought, a musical. Hmm, not sure about that. Well, what a show! The production was amazing, the cast was fabulous, and the venue never disappoints. This is a great place with amazing events. If you ever have the opportunity to attend an event here, you will not be disappointed. We've seen many shows here and hope to see many more!
I had an amazing experience at the MPAC in Morristown last night. I was a flustered mom as we were late due to parking and then I could not get the tickets to load on my phone. Every single staff member I spoke to was incredibly friendly, helpful, and patient. One gentleman even offered to get a cup of water to help me stop stressing. They guided us to our seats and offered booster seats for the kids and just made the entire night special for my family. We truly appreciated their warmth and hospitality! The performance was fantastic as well!
Tucked right into the heart of downtown Morristown, this theater brings a steady stream of live performances, comedy nights, and intimate productions to the local scene. The venue has real charm, but fair warning—parking can be a bit of a hunt. Your best move is to find a lot nearby and prepare for a bit of a shuffle when the crowd spills out after the show. Still, once you’re inside, the experience is absolutely worth it. It’s one of those places where every seat feels close to the action.
My wife and I left during intermission. While the performers were amazingly talented, the violence was too much to bear. The sound was not great, so we could only depict story line from what was seen. We have seen scores of plays, musicals and concerts of many genres, but this is THE FIRST we ever left before final curtain. This has NO REFLECTION on talent or on MPAC.
