Saw rent here had orchestra seats, very good view . Quite intimate seating. The venue itself is quite beautiful, if a bit small. Just enough space in the lobby very few concessions stands/bars

Sheri Swammy

Nothing beats seeing an amazing broadway show . This Performing Arts center is a beautiful venue. I recommend adding a dinner package- the menus change according to the show to match the theme.

Michael Mangum

Great theater . We always choose to come here over Dr. Phillips Center. Super friendly staff . Great snacks .

Awesome theater , and so beautiful! The waterfront is to die for, and don't miss the coffee shop attached to the theater . So much better than Starbucks!

If you need to use the bathroom during intermission , go up to the top floor. There are usually fewer people on that level.

I would suggest Uber , but do not have them pick you up at the Hall. We walk to a local establishment and get picked up. This avoids all the leaving crowds. The theater is beautiful! - Colleen Moore
