Always love going and watching a show at the Wagner. I've seen musicians, bands, comedians and so on here at the Wagner Noel and its always great.
Great venue. Amazing friendly staff. Talented symphony. Such a beautiful evening.
Took the wife on a treck across Central Texas to see a band perform. It was a bit of a journey to get there, but we'll worth it! We stayed in hotel down the road from the venue. The roads to the parking lots were bring worked on, so there was a bit of confusion on where to turn to get to the lot. Once inside, access to our seats was easy, and close to the performance. We had a great time! Plenty of parking. The location was clean and well maintained. I would visit again if there was another big act in town! Great place to see shows!
Good experience, getting inside the event was fast, they have a little bar, clean bathrooms, nice theater, chairs are a little tight and no cup holders, with everyone having drinks, cup holders need to be added. But it's a nice place and I like it! They have a liquor bar too, cranberry Vodka, crown n coke, snacks, beer etc!
Beautiful venue!! We came here from the southeast panhandle to see one of our favorites, The Panhandlers and Tyler Halverson! It was a fantastic concert! Everyone was well behaved & could see the concert. Seats were comfortable. Beverage prices were a bit much, but I suppose that's to be expected at such a place. All in all it was a great time & I'd go back again
