Mezzanine seats are the best value especially if you can secure center mezz . Also beat the bathroom/bar lines by tipping out just before intermission .

Dack Justiz

Reserve your drinks before the show and they will be waiting for you at intermission

Mezzanine is best value. Also I hear there's free valet for Lexus owners. I drive a Camry. ????

Bobby Witcher

If you can't get the orchestra, the front row mezzanine has great views ! It's arguably better than many areas of the orchestra because the view is not obstructed by others.

Arce Duarte

Awesome staff and great atmosphere! The Hobby Center is a spectacular place to come and enjoy your favorite shows!

Natalie Diaz

I have been there for the Rockettes and the Christmas Story. Both good but Rockettes might be better than the other lol

Greta JK

Plenty of parking underground across the street for $7. Exited without delay too!

Mario de la Garza

Very beautiful theater ! Saw Wicked here, you can see perfectly from the mezzanines .

Michael Castillo

Great place. . When I was with ATSC and dip productions hear back in the 90's and even see shows here it still leaves me with awh

Tracy S

Don't wait for the elevator . You might as well just take the twenty flights of stairs. It is quicker that way. The production however, was amazing.

Karen

Arrive early to park -- the Hobby garage is tiny. Or use thr Tranquility garage across the street with multiple entrances.

Linton Wong

Season ticket holders for Broadway Across America has nice perks: free parking vouchers , free drink vouchers (free snacks during intermission ), etc,

Instead of buying tickets online, take the time to go to the box office in person; you'll save a bundle on service fees!

An excellent venue for music , dance and other fine arts performances !

Nice theater but sound was a bit muddled for Wicked. Don't know if it was the center of the traveling sound system .

If at all possible, buy your tickets AT Hobby Center save yourself $15-20 on each ticket

Fantastic show! Though exiting was difficult because I didn't know what level we were on!

I wen to Arista Restaurant at the TUTS, their Gulf crab salad is superb and very nice waiter 'Marvin' was serving us there.

Sam Sharif

Great show Wicked! Valet was closed 20 mts prior to show starting and that was NOT good. Get there early

Xtina Vigil

Everything. Take a chance on the obstructed view .

MK

Loved this show! If you haven't seen it, it is totally worth it!

Lisa Carter

Skip the bistro . It used to be decent, now it’s deplorable and more costly. Find other dining options before the show.

Martin L Vargas

Arrive on time! Shows start sharp, on the dot.

Patrick Truax

Great play, Chicago. Gallery seats a bit incomfortable.

Everyone needs to see Tyler Perry's new play No Wrath Like A Woman Scorned! We laughed so much!

Laci Mayton

Don't park in the garage or you will be stuck for an hour after the show

If you can’t get to Broadway, just wait and those big-budget musicals that you’re longing to see will end up here.
