This was my first concert at this venue and WOW! What an awesome experience. Seats are comfortable, there was plenty of leg room, and our view was fantastic. The venue was clean and staff were super friendly. Thank you for a great evening!
This venue was great! I needed convenient parking due to a disability. I didn’t have to walk far and parking was free! The sound was great and our seats were chosen to get out quickly. I saw the Lion King at this theater and most recently Ain’t too Proud to Beg, The Temptations! The staff were kind and helpful and tickets were affordable!
Any issues I had with the fraud system has been cleared up, I sincerely do appreciate the administration for being so kind and working with me. I fully respect that they have a good system for tracking these things, their system flagged my account after I accidentally used my Google alias, there was a small hiccup but it was resolved very quickly and efficiently in the end. Can't wait to see the shows!!
Love this venue for musical performances like The Life and Times of the Temptations! The seats are spacious enough for people to pass by when coming and going comfortably. They have concessions. The only downside for me, was that I got a decaf coffee, but it definitely wasn't decaf, and I really paid for it.
Went to see Hadestown on a Wednesday night. What a lovely venue. I found it easy to get too. Good parking. Lots of people to help direct you where you need to go. Bathrooms were clean. Theatre was comfortable and had good acoustics. Will definitely return for more shows.
