You have to see Wicked tonight. Great play and great production at the Bushnell.

Robert Amezquita

Do not go for balcony seats . Not worth the lower price - you'll hardly be able to see anything. Mezzanine seats are the best bang for the buck!

Victoria Vinci

lovely theater with excellent views no matter where you're sitting. the little cafe inside is good too ????
