    Saw 9 to 5 recently. Amazing performances. It's a small venue so there is no bad seat. I would definitely recommend seeing a show here!

The theater has an attached parking garage for convenience as everyone knows how parking is in this area. Small, clean lobby, ample bathroom stalls & an intimate theater with a balcony area. Seriously when I say intimate, I mean every seat in this place guarantees a good view of the stage. I will be checking their website for shows as this was a very nice experience!

The tickets were easy to buy online and I even got a student discount and my mom got the senior discount ($10 off each ticket). About a week before the show, I received and email that informed me of free parking at each show in their garage, which is almost unheard of when going to the theatre! We arrived about 30 minutes before the show started to see the theatre and it is beautiful! There could not be a bad seat in the whole place! We were in row G on the lower level and it was a great view!! The whole cast of the play was so fun and great at acting! I enjoyed the performance here just as much (if not more than) a show in the city at some of the larger theaters!! I can't wait to see what else this theatre has to offer and come back for another show!

Since then I've gone on to see The ripple, the wave that carried me home, and the latest show, The Lehman Trilogy. Each show Ive watched here has been wonderfully well crafted in storytelling, acting, and have been very immersive to the audience. You can definitely feel the love that was put into each production. I've been enjoying going to opening preview night of each of these shows, there's something really different about seeing the first live performance for each production. Seeing the directors and producers all watching their hard work come to life, the roaring standing ovation. It's a great place to be at! I fully recommend people to check out their productions as they're never a disappointment to me!

I had great seats right in center,but really the venue is so intimate there is not a bad seat in the house. The play Plumshuga: The Rise of Lauren Anderson. I believe this was the last performance of the show. Shes a Houston icon. It was a story of her life, told thru Houston Ballet dancers and other amazing actors. It was authentic, and showed a black woman's plight of becoming one of the best dancers in the US, her perilious journey through addiction, and her life now. It was centered and focused on her voice, and it was beautiful story that should be heard by many Americans, not just the black community. Bravo Lauren Anderson!

Parking was available for $20 in the parking garage. It was raining and able to navigate to the theater without getting wet. The venue itself is beautiful, modern, clean, and well-organized. We were able to enter quickly and our tickets were scanned with no wait. From the moment we entered, everything feels organized and easy to navigate, with helpful staff throughout the theater. Our seats were in the Mezzanine section and the view of the stage was partially obstructed by the back of people's heads sitting in front of me, but still had a decent view. The acoustics were excellent and the show was a fun, high-energy experience. Restroom lines during intermission were extremely long but seemed to move quickly. They had a variety of drinks available but I didn't purchase any. The overall experience felt seamless from start to finish. Except for the parking. After the show, was stuck in the parking garage over an hour trying to exit. However, the Hobby Center is a great venue for watching a show. Would absolutely come back to watch another show!

    This is a wonderful venue and host to the amazing Broadway Across America musicals each season…read more I've been here several times, both in the main Sarofim Hall and the smaller Zilkha Hall for smaller productions. You can park across the street in a paid underground garage, or if you're lucky enough to find a street parking spot, certainly grab that! The entrance has a lovely view of Downtown which has made for great pictures at the time of graduations. There have always been ample staff on my visits for musicals and they are very helpful. There's a metal detector when you enter, then two large staircases on either side that lead you up to the mezzanine and separate stairs to the gallery. There's also an elevator that services all floors. On the mezzanine level there are multiple bars, often with themed drinks for the shows. But be careful - they come with hefty price tags! The halls themselves are gorgeous. Both have nice comfortable seating and wonderful sound. The view from the gallery in the main hall can be a little difficult for making out details on the sets, but it's decent.

    This review is for their performance in Houston…read more If you've been to other Cirque Du Soleil in the race park before then you know that there's no way around paying for parking. It will cost you $12 to park. The good thing about the parking is it was super organized so even though there were long lines of cars trying to park, the lines were moving; and once I had paid, the attendees directed me where to go and it took me less than a minute to park. Before you can enter the Grand Chapiteau, you have to go through your typical security measure. There are no metal detectors but they will look inside your purse if you have one. I was here with my sister and she didn't have a purse so we didn't even get checked. She did have a jacket on her but they didn't check it. This means you could sneak in your own snacks/drinks should you be inclined to. Why would one be inclined to sneak in their own snacks/drinks? Well, a bottled water/soda will run you $5. Nachos will run you $10. A Cotton candy will run you $8. Hot dog will run you $7. You see where I'm going with this? If you're coming here with your family (kids, wife, girlfriend, whatever), then you be better be ready to be dropping some $$$$. As for the show, it's your typical CDS stage/seating. You have the round stage with the seats surrounding them. I was lucky enough to get good seats to the right side and three rows from the stage so I was able to see everything clearly. If you opt to sit toward the back, some times you can't even see the faces of the performers clearly. The show started at eight on the dot. Some of the performances are pretty typical CDS where it would amaze you what a human body can do with training (contortionist, balancing act, juggling). Some of the other acts were more creative (invisible circus, finger dancing, animal impression). One act in particular was a combination of both where you have this dude playing yo-yo in the middle of the stage, but holy cow, he could control them yo-yos like they were a part of his body. I felt like he should have been competing in international yo-yo championship or something. All in all, I was happy with the show. This was also my sister's first Cirque Du Soleil and so everything was brand new to her and she was thoroughly impressed with the performances. CDS is always a fun event to go to and I definitely will go to whatever other Cirque Du Soleil shows that would make a stop in Houston.

Houston parking was $12; I parked the furthest away and still it wasn't far from the tent. I was concerned that the AC might not be working from a heads up review 4 days earlier...but, thankfully the AC was on and blowing good!! Toilets looked like porta pottys but they actually had lights and hooks to hang your purse---speaking of...I walked in the stall and there hung a yellow bag and a Kurios souvenir! I was like...HOW can one forget ALL that? Turned it in to an employee...hope the lady got her stuff back. The seats are small and very close together...I chose an end seat so I'd only have one person beside me. My seats were stage right 8 rows back...awesome! Show was exciting...as usual, I was amazed. Do yourself a favor and attend a Cirque de Soleil soon...it's well worth the $$$

    This was such a fun thing to do while visiting Houston and honestly one of my favorite experiences…read morefrom our trip. The theater is small and intimate, which makes every seat feel like a great seat. You're close to the action no matter where you sit, which makes the entire experience feel more personal and engaging. I loved how interactive the show was. It's family friendly (not a kiddie magic show), so entertaining for adults as well. This would honestly make a great date night show in Houston too. Everyone has a chance to participate, not just people sitting in the front row, which keeps the energy exciting throughout. The theater itself is really unique, filled with antiques that give it so much character. It doesn't feel like a typical venue--it feels like part of the experience. I even got to go on stage and solve a Rubik's cube with my eyes closed and my hands behind my back, which completely blew my mind. I was genuinely shocked. That was definitely one of the highlights for me. Another thing I loved was the variety--there were multiple magicians performing, which kept the show fresh and interesting the entire time. Between the audience interaction, different styles of magic, and constant surprises, it never slowed down. Whether you're traveling, planning a family-friendly activity in Houston, or looking for a fun and unique date night idea, this show is absolutely worth it.

Nestled into the Galleria off Westheimer, the venue is unassuming and quite understated outside. Parking is abundant and easy ingress and egress was no problem. The Staff. Amazingly accommodating and Friendly. They helped us to our seats and were quite knowledgeable. Top marks. The Venue Part Deux. There are signs a-Plenty stating no food or drink in the venue. Until it is noted the drinks must remain closed a-la purchased drinks at the bar which come with a closeable top or bottles that may be again... brought with you and closeable. You can still bring your own in...but for a whopping $90 for 2 adult beverages, kid beverages, and waters at the beginning and pre order for intermission...you could have just brought in your closeable water bottle and saved the cost. This is like handing you the keys to an Aston but told not to drive it off the lot. Understandable for spillage, but not well explained. The production and sound were second to none. The only niggle I had were the inexperienced show goers behind us who continually dialogued what came next via the book, how it did not correspond to the movie, and continually picked at it. I cannot control other people...but do stay home or keep like a church mouse like the rest of us while the production was in course. I guess money can buy your way in but not common decency no matter your age bracket/demographic/wealth status. Again out of my control, so I will not hold it against the theatre. Overall. Yes. I will be back for another show. Amazing. Thank you all so much for what you do and giving back to your community the way you do. Donation made. And will continue to support. Rock solid 4 Stars.

    What a great, small theater for family friendly shows! I was not familiar with the AD Players…read moretheater, and was quite impressed by the talent and production quality for not being a broadway-level theater. I also resonated with the positive, uplifting messaging that they are on a mission to spread through the plays - keeping it family friendly and wholesome. My family got to watch Narnia: The Musical, and we enjoyed it! Despite some technical difficulties, the musical as a whole was great! The actors are talented and up-and-coming. We had great seats and it was so engaging to watch their expressions. If I remember correctly, the seats aren't overly expensive! The interior if the building is quite nice, with long, glass chandeliers, and they currently have a Christmas tree up. Plenty of free parking. Would highly recommend for families, couples, or really anyone that would like to see a play without breaking the bank.

The atmosphere here was very relaxed with so much Black art adorning the walls. There were also affordable concessions (chips, candy bars, and soda) -- all for $3. Before the show started, the Director, Ms Eileen Morris, was so welcoming and acknowledged all who had decided to patronize this production. She made sure to especially acknowledge any folks who had traveled from as far as Norway and as close as Galveston, and any birthdays as well. I must say it was extremely cold in there... I'm assuming b/c of all of the warm stage overhead lights. It wasn't as chilly outside that night either. Nonetheless, th otherwise warm and personableness made for a relaxed and familial atmosphere before we witnessed the retelling of The Bluest Eye, a harrowing and tragically youthful story. I look forward to returning to the Ensemble Theatre to support more of their productions that center Black storytelling and culture.
