Finish dinner 30+ minutes before showtime. Most restaurants offer pre-theater menus.
Highly recommended, especially for evening performances. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Most listed restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walk. Factor in extra time during busy hours.

Decent venue, nice small sized, ticketmasters site is off, however. Thought I was buying 4 rows from the stage but was 4 rows from the back. No matter, still small enough venue to enjoy, and parking not too pricey and somewhat close in the garage.
My wife received tickets to The Sound of Music for her birthday. I have never been able to sit through the movie; however, the broadway production was stellar! The sets were stunning and the performers brought the original Rogers & Hammerstein script to life beautifully! Bravo to all the performers making their debut with this traveling production. This is my first time being in the Performing Arts Center and must say it’s a great place to see a show. We are discussing becoming season pass holders for sure!
No bad view in the house, comfortable and friendly staff.
Have been here several times over the years and it's always been a pleasant experience.
Clean facility. Well kept.
