Sarofim Hall - Hobby Center

Review for American Psycho! TL;DR definitely go see it! Parking was very easy in the Hobby Garage for $20. Thankfully, a nice gentleman working outside pointed us towards the correct entrance. We arrived about 30 minutes early and got our tickets from Will Call with no issues, taking some photos of the 80's memorabilia outside. It was easy to find our way to the upstairs seats in the Left Mezzanine. I don't think there are really any bad seats in the theater; I could clearly hear and see everything. The show itself was longer than expected (ended around 10:30PM) but it was so much fun. I went in blind, having not seen American Psycho, and it was definitely inspiration to go watch the movie. The actors and musicians were top notch, the scene transitions were smooth, and they used lightning to highlight movement extremely well. A few minor camera jostles here and there and I think the Detective's microphone was a tad lower but overall, an amazing production for one of their first showings!

This theater has some of the most incredible performances. I’ve enjoyed Peter Pan & Life of Pi. Parking can be hectic I recommend arriving 45 mins early if you want to park on site. Easier to uber if you live close. Visuals at Life of Pi were just instantly good followed by amazing actors.

I have only been to 3 theaters prior for broadway productions. The Amsterdam theater, CiBC Chicago and Hotel Theatre in Vegas. The Hobby Center by far was my best viewing experience because of the site lines and the sheer comfort and leg room of the seats. I am 6 ft 2 / 235 lbs, so I fill up a seat pretty good! This was our first time here so I was a little nervous about the parking situation because we arrived only 45 minutes prior to our 7pm showing. The paid parking was a breeze but the lesson learned was to probably arrive at least 1 hour ahead so you don’t end up above the 4th floor. When leaving the exiting process is the worst part of the whole experience. They empty the garage from the bottom up! A better option would probably be to valet if you don’t want the hassle ($25) . The theater is also one of the better looking ones that I have visited. Everything was clean including the restrooms. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We had right balcony seats for The Wiz and the view was very good. The only thing that may have been slightly off was that with certain characters I had trouble understanding the dialogue. There was also an elevator not operating so transporting people to the upper levels was limited to one elevator but the staff did a great job of making that happen as efficiently as possible. It took us about 30 minutes to get out of the garage after getting to our car, so that’s my reason for the 4 Stars and not 5. I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to come back.

I saw The book of Mormon and waitress here valet parking is very affordable and convenient. There’s really not a bad seat in the house. Staff is very friendly. Always a great experience.

Easy parking and seated within 10 minutes of parking. Nice venue. As with many places, the intermission line for the women's restroom was ginormous...wish the architects would plan for that. Snacks and water prices were about $5 each Sound and sight line was good in the upper balcony. Binoculars would have been nice.
