This restored theater was originally known as the Mars . The restoration was beautifully done with painstaking attention to detail. Actually the 2nd time we visited as LCFPA. First time was Winter Carnival with the real son of the "Big Bopper." This time around is "Rhythm of the Dance." Irish river dance and entertainment.
Such a beautiful venue! We finally got to see Micheal W. Smith perform! There are a few things I wish they could change. There is no lift or elevator to the mezzanine. I bought tickets for this show in February of 2020, not knowing Covid would postpone the show fir so long. February of 2021 I had a major surgery that makes it hard to climb stairs, currently. There was no open disabled seating. Needless to say, I made my way to the 2nd floor. And then up more stairs to our seats. The concert was great! My only complaint is that you couldn't hear him, a lot. Especially during times that he would tell a story before singing his next song. The speakers above us didn't seem to work or were to quite. All in all, I'd highly recommend attending events at the Long Center!
We saw Comedian Brian Reagan at Longs Center for Performing Arts. We had a great time! We got the tickets late so we were up high, man... we were up HIGH! But we could see and hear very well. It was a great show. Fun time, great night!
I I normally screenshot ticket barcodes on my phone but on this particular day I had not. we walked in and I could not find the email, but the clerk at the window was extremely helpful, located my seats quickly and pointed us in the right direction. Great service! Nice venue.
Went to the Rodney Carrington show. It was great, and the event was well organized. Can't wait to go to another show. And Rodney was great and the meet and great was a really nice touch and he was as nice as well
