I honestly forgot the Roper center existed lol. As a student I came here quite often for shows and…read moreevents but that was years ago I came to see the champions of magic show and fell back in love I adore how they have kept this theater up and running the decor is beautiful and the building is clean and well taken care of The bathrooms are clean and the staff are generally nice and helpful The seating is a bit outdated the chairs are awfully snug and smaller than most theaters. My friends had a hard time getting comfortable and their legs kept falling asleep The views was amazing. From any seat you could see the stage and hear everything the show itself was mind blowing In my opinion parking at MacArthur mall and walking over is the easiest but there are a few street spots and even a small parking lot across from the roper center I will be back

We had one family member who had handicapped issues, and they quickly seated her, so as not to have her standing in line for too long. The atmosphere was pleasant. The acoustics were wonderful.

The seating was comfortable with ample leg room. I loo forward to returning.

Although the entrance isn't accessible from street level, entrance is extremely easy. Parking on the second level of the Blue Parking Garage leads right to a walkway between the two buildings. You exit the bridge onto a small plaza with entrances to both the Z and a restaurant. Walking in we were immediately greeted and pointed out the bar, bathrooms and ticket entrance. Drinks can be taken into the theater. It was fun greeting local theater community friends, some of whom I hadn't seen in decades. Seating was comfortable with plenty of leg room and space. The view from the center section, where I was seated, was excellent. The temperature in the theater was perfect. The Zeider hosts different production companies, comedy acts, independent theatrical productions and musical acts. But I've never seen them host a main stage production of a major musical theater work such as Stephen Sondheim's "Assassins". The theater experience was perfect. It's a great space in a great location. I'd love to see them partner more often with production companies who perform musical theater works and plays that can be staged in their space.

It's confusing when there are two sections "8", hard to find at night and numbers are hidden. Jumbo screens are large enough, acoustics was nice. Metal seats are ample sized and clean and decently comfortable. Large enough but smaller than most stadiums to retain the intimate vibe, smaller crowds seem like a much bigger draw. The only slight criticism is that you get a mixed bag of staff volunteers. Some just appear busy doing nothing to ask if they can help you, others just tell you "just go there and find someone else to help you"

This Virginia Beach based Musical Theater company, founded by Jeff Meredith, has a dynamic Managing…read moreDirector & Artistic Director. Their productions are cast with a mix of New York City based Equity talent, locals & students from the Virginia Governors School for the Arts. The performing home of VMT is the Sander Center for the Arts, conveniently located at Town Center. The venue is in walking distance to numerous restaurants where you can have before or after show dinner. Perhaps their best production I've seen in my many years of attending this theater was the recently performed Jekyll & Hyde. The casting was superb. The performance was flawless. Lighting, costumes and set design were a plus. Having seen this show on Broadway a number of years ago, I was hoping for marvelous. And it was. The only thing I would have changed was the slight Pop take on the show stopping "This is the Moment." I wanted the song to climax as it did on Broadway. Should you have the opportunity to attend a Musical Theater performance by Virginia Musical Theater you will not be disappointed.

First time at this theater located on the campus of Norfolk State University. I was not expecting…read moreit to be so nice and spacious. The performing arts center is located off 460/264 and was built in 1996. Parking is off Park Avenue. There is a guard gate that is manned. On weekends no issue with parking and reserved is available. The exterior of the building is all brick and has an attractive entrance and lobby. Flowers that appear fresh planted are in front. Some debris was spotted around the grounds, however walk up clear. A good size lobby w/ a small concessions area is to the right. Restrooms are Womens to right, Men to left. I found the mens room tidy. The theater is straight back. Access to the balcony is by stairs, or elevator in front of grand staircase. The dressing rooms are ups stairs which can be a limitation depending on timing of numbers. I attended the Star Talent Dance Competition with my daughter. She was not participating and was a spectator as I. She had friends in her company Dance Space that were competing. I found the seats comfortable and the space in between roomy. The stage is large, but not as big as say Sandler Center in VB, or Ropper in Norfolk. No food, or drink is permitted in the auditorium. A great first experience at the L Wilder Performing Arts Center.

Driving down to Norfolk was so worth it because this arena is much smaller than the big DC arenas…read more Our seats were comfy. We sat in section 112 close to the floor but not on the floor sections. The staff does a good job with managing the trash cans and the crowds. There's a huge parking structure nearby. We used uber and the drop off was right next to the arena. Only complaint is that they advertise bottled water but when you get to the front of the line, no bottle water. They sold us water in a souvenir cup for $8, was this tap?

WHAT! I've been living here over 3 years and haven't reviewed this place yet?…read more To me, Naro Cinema is a little piece of home. I'm from Los Angeles where art house films can be seen at art house theaters or established theaters like AMC or Regal. Naro is THE place I can count on to play awards campaign films, but they'll also have an incredible showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show :) The staff is super friendly and you can tell they love to be there - they're my kind of people who love film. Ticket prices are cheap (I usually buy them online) and food prices are reasonable. I love coming here because theaters are dying and places like this need to continue living! So please, support cinema art and watch movies at the Naro.

Very old timey, I guess that's the idea here. Seats need to be updated, wonder if there are bugs or…read moremites - yikes! The service was notably very friendly. You're asked for your ticket and even when mine was bought online (digital), they could look up the transaction that I bought online by just giving my name! The popcorn was not warm and can't taste the butter they asked if I wanted some. They have home baked goods like brownies and baklava, wonder whose home they came from, no labels of ingredients or when they're good until! Neat part is that there is a balcony section. My first time here, had always wanted to go in the almost 7 years that I relocated to VA Beach from NoVA/DC area. Speaking of which the draw of this theatre is that they show independent films, love it! Wish they have more choices though, only two film showings per day. Am watching Black Bag today, should be a good spy thriller movie starring Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender.

We Ubered to the place so we really don't know about the parking situation.
