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.

Easy to navigate to our seats in orchestra left of this lovely theatre. The mc talked about a big renovation coming but I thought it was lovely.
Fantastic shows, with nice comfortable seats. My only complaints are the lack of restrooms (especially for women) that makes it impossible not to miss some of the show. 15 minutes intermission is not enough time for the limited facilities. The sound system is adequate but really needs an upgrade for full enjoyment of the performances.
Last night I went to see Back To The Future the Musical . This is a beautiful venue for a concert / show. Staff are so friendly , and exit signs are everywhere. With a 2,396 capacity, the atmosphere is electric , with excellent seating in all areas and plenty of room between seats. Sound was outstanding , with two banks of speakers , with 8 speakers a side coupled with two bass bins . Crisp and clear all night. The only downside in an excellent show was the infiltration of liberalism and wokeness into a classic story that certainly didn’t need it at all. There was a whole song dedicated to the “ dreamers” , with reference to illegal immigration, a reference to President Trump for 2020, and most aggravating of all, a reference to white trash , which , strangely , the audience laughed at. I’m surprised the production company didn’t bring LGB into it. Still , most touring companies are gay and from NY or LA , so no real surprise to hear it , but it put a big dent in what could have been a 5 star performance. Band was excellent for a 5 piece , and the visuals were out of this world , particularly near the end. I recommend the PAC as one of the best venues in Oklahoma , if not the South. Tulsa should be proud of it , in a good way .
Beautiful facility, easy to travel with easy parking. Had excellent entertainment listening to the orchestra do the live Harry Potter music event this evening! Would recommend. Parking is excellent in the TPAC parking lot. Easy to catch your space even during big events.
Had a great time! I’ve been here a few years ago for Hamilton and came back for Wicked. I will definitely be coming back again if there’s another musical I’m interested in! Be careful of the themed drinks though, there were no prices on these sign for these and you have to buy the $6 souvenir cup to bring it into the theater. Got expensive very quickly. Also, if you are someone with GI or bladder issues, make sure to account for that as intermission is short and there are VERY few bathrooms and the line to the women’s bathroom gets long FAST.
