    We've been here a few times for various concerts-performances over the years...most recently, for…read moreKing Crimson and Beethoven Symphony #5...and I've been meaning to write a review, so here goes. First of all, I really like this theater. Of course it's not as big as Blumenthal (Belk), but I love the size of this theater. Due to its size, you always get a good view of the stage wherever you sit (especially referring to the rows downstairs). Also, it's a really nice, clean theater (think renovated recently...but I could be wrong). One thing that could use some improvement is the spacing between the rows of seats. It's so tight, it's truly hard to get past folks in the same row...say, if you arrive a bit late, or is trying to get out! I also noticed that for the last visit, there were some chairs out in the lobby...Yay to that! Lastly, I also like the acoustics at this theater. Everything seems to be on point However, there are a few things that I found a bit offputting. For this last performance, they didn't 't allow any photography now (even without flash?)...which I don't quite get. I DID manage to take a few pics, but before the show started. Good thing...'cuz I didn't realize it was forbidden. Maybe I didn't know any better, but I recall taking pics during the performances in the past. Maybe it's a new policy...or maybe it depends on the performance?? Last thing I wanted to mention was that after the show, there's this sense that they want us out quickly...as in pronto! I don't understand why the place can't be more hospitable, and stay open for at least 30 minutes after the concert...so folks can chat, drink, etc.etc. I mean, it was Saturday night...and really not that late either! On this last concert (Beethoven Symphony #5), they sort of bum-rushed us out by 9:45 pm (concert ended at around 9:30 pm)...and I was basically the last person inside...Why? I was waiting for my husband to pick me up in the car, and I didn't want to stand outside in the cold. Well, at 9:45 pm, I noticed that I was the last one in the place, and the ushers were sort of giving me the eye...basically bum-rushing me out! WOW. I don't recall that happening at any other late-night venue in town...where folks are encouraged to leave only 10-15 minutes, following a concert. So anyway, that's my take on the place. 5 stars for the space, cleanliness and acoustics...but 2 stars for service (not sure how I'd describe this rushing folks out part lol!). Since I'm a fan of this theater, I'll still drop 4 stars...but just wanted to mention that I'm NOT a fan of the near-rude service after the performance.

    Great place for a show ! Wonderful views and terrific sound from all seats. Comfortable seats and…read morehelpful staff.

    This venue starts off strong as a stylish and comfortable lounge type area which was great for…read morewinding down with friends or easing into a night out. The ambiance early in the evening is relaxed outdoor seating needs to update the benches they're not comfortable and the woods starting to warp but, decent music, and a solid cocktail menu. It's the kind of place where you can actually hear your conversation and enjoy the atmosphere without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. However, as the night progresses and the vibe shifts into more of a "clubby" scene which ended up being a perfect combo but let's talk charges.. feels steep for what's essentially a modest venue without standout features. Drink prices were high like the cover but not in a way that reflects upgraded quality or service. For the area, there are other spots offering more for the same price or even less but with cozy comforts and inside seating, nicer facilities so it's easy to find things not to love if you come here to support a DJ friend like I did than pay the cover and mingle. It's not a bad place by any means, and the early lounge experience is definitely a highlight followed up with the banging DJ club scene after...it's just the paying premium rates for a relatively average experience for me.

    It was the last day of a 4 day conference and the company known to host the best party had a battle…read moreof band event at the Music Yard. Great vibe. Service was excellent. You knew everyone was invited. A perfect closing party.

    Really disappointed that they forced the burden of a recently-cancelled show (inclement weather)…read morecompletely on me, the patron, instead of meeting in the middle. Instead of adding another day to replace the cancelled one (allowing people like me who bought early to get the best seats), they made us choose from the current (and mostly booked) play dates. End result, I'm forced to take a bad seat as a result of a decision I had nothing to do with. This will definitely come into play when deciding on future entertainment.

    They need to do a better job selecting plays to perform. While the actors do a decent job and the…read morevenue is excellent, their play offerings can be marginal. It appears they are trying to be trendy and up-to-date. Remember the objective is to entertain the audience and leave them wanting to come back. Suggest you consider your existing customers. Don't get caught in the Bud Light trap of ignoring your core market to try and get new attendees. The current play "Flick" is a perfect example. Supposedly critically acclaimed, this show was atrocious. The acting was okay, but the story was boring. I have never in my life walked out mid-play, until this one. And to show we were not alone, we got into a traffic jam leaving the parking lot at intermission. Again, the responsibility for meeting customer demand falls on the shoulders of the individuals selecting the plays to present. And the parking is a disaster.
