And Juliet
Elizabeth O.

Came here to see the musical "& Juliet" which was amazing!!!! The singing, dancing and scene changes were all breathtaking. I loved the twist on the original story and fresh more modern perspective on the tragic love story.

I've been coming to this theater since my high school days. I love how they provide a variety of different performances. From dance, musicals, stand up, and musicians. The ticket cost are generally reasonable with offering students and senior discounts. My mom and I saw Mama Mia this time and had a blast dancing and singing along. Such a great performance. I look forward to seeing many more

I am at season ticket holder for Broadway In Tucson at Centennial Hall on the UofA campus. Went to the final show for this season, Chucked. Was not familiar with this production but found it to be very funny with great singers. Live music however sometimes made it difficult to understand the performers. Large venue, however acoustics could be improved. Always enjoy a night out. Looking forward to nest season.

Theater View Looking Back From Our Seats

Once again, top orchestra seats for Hamilton at $10.00 per ticket! The Hamilton website lottery pool. Tucson was as far as we were willing to drive if we won again; 500+ miles (the Mrs. won the Las Vegas Lottery a few years back). She was a winner once again, and this fell right during our anniversary celebration. Centennial Hall is basically part of the University of Arizona. Only fully vaccinated patrons are being allowed entry, and vaccination cards and a photo ID are required. The theater is rather dated but spacious. And the staff are quite strict about individuals coming forward to gaze into the orchestra pit. Some were quite upset after being asked to step away. We were in the second row. As for the performance; acceptable, considering both male leads; Hamilton and Burr were being played by the understudies this Sunday night, 11/28/2021. But I thought they handled their roles admirably. The orchestra was outstanding. This marked our fourth Hamilton; Los Angeles, Orange County, Las Vegas, and Tucson in that order. We're still putting in for the lottery every week. Outstanding musical score if you've never heard it.

One of the best venues in town to catch a touring Broadway show, concert, ballet, dance troupe, etc., etc., etc... The seats are a little cramped and can get uncomfortable, especially for anything over a couple of hours. Intermissions are always welcome!

Masks are required

Came here last weekend to see Hamilton. It was my first time here. The theater is more run down than Gammage (ASU) but it's also smaller so the view of the stage is better from more seats. And the ticket prices are more affordable! Vaccine or negative COVID test and masks are required. Thank you to management for the safety precautions!!

Broadway in Tucson (Wicked)

We went to Centennial Hall to see Wicked (which on a fantastic broadway show if you ever get the chance to see it) and sat towards the front of the mezzanine for the show. The staff were great, and entry to and from the venue was quick. There did not seem to be a bad seat in the house either. Even back in the Mezzanine we could see and hear the show fine. There are a few drawbacks though, the seats are painfully uncomfortable. Both my partner and I couldn't wait to get up at intermission and stretch as a result. Secondly the parking is a few blocks away, which was ok for us but important to know for anyone with mobility issues. (Also they don't do a good job of directing attendees to where the parking is) Overall it is a beautiful hall to see a show, and if you can get up from your seat after an hour or so I would recommend seeing a show here.

My sister is handicapped and finds it difficult to walk. We parked near Cochise Hall. They charged us $8 to park. It is free if you can park farther away. We had never been here before, so we're looking for signage to direct us. There wasn't any. We couldn't find it. We asked as kindly groundskeeper where Centennial Hall was. He said it was back the way we had come, about a quarter of a mile. This was devastating to someone who is mobility impaired. We made our way to the next hurdle. Check in. And found plenty of trip hazards Uneven pavement. After that another obstacle. We had to climb stairs into the hall. More trip hazards. Lights strings strung along the floor. And what's this? A raised platform of about an inch and a half to get into your seats. Unexpected and easy to miss, and easy to stumble and fall. The seats were decidedly uncomfortable for the 2 hour performance of the Nutcracker. The arm rests were wooden and extremely painful. What the h-ll were they thinking? The venue lacking basic amenities for someone mobility impaired, and crammed uncomfortable seats, means we'll never return to this palace of torture again.

Highly Recommend Seeing Mannheim Steamroller! Absolutely Fantastic Show. The music is mesmerizing and add the the visual effects you are enjoying every moment of why you're there. The downside is Centennial Hall. The seating is so uncomfortable. I honestly felt like I was sitting on concrete seats. The isles between the seats are extremely tight. The bathroom accommodations speak for themselves. The Hall needs renovating and I'm hoping the University as well as the benefactors are working on this? Mannheim Steamroller is a must see! I hope when they return to Tucson they will preform at a different venue.

An unforgettable night from the moment the lights dim. The production balances sharp comedy,…read moreimpressive sleight of hand, and genuine audience engagement in a way that keeps the entire room leaning forward. The performers move effortlessly between humor and amazement, and the pacing never drags, every segment lands. What really elevates the experience is the intimacy of the venue. Sightlines are excellent, reactions are contagious, and even from your seat you feel part of the show rather than just watching it. The cast clearly loves what they do, and that energy travels. Dinner service is smooth and well-timed with the performance, so you are never distracted or waiting. Staff are attentive, organized, and welcoming, which makes the evening feel polished from start to finish. Perfect for date night, celebrations, or bringing friends who think they have "seen it all." You will leave entertained, surprised, and already talking about coming back. Highly recommended.

What a fantastic way to spend an evening! Our group attended the mystery night dinner and magic…read moreshow, and it exceeded every expectation we had. If you're looking for a unique night out that keeps everyone engaged, this is it. The Atmosphere & Entertainment From the moment we arrived, the energy was electric. The mystery plot was clever and kept us all guessing, but the addition of the magic show really took the night to the next level. There were so many wonderful surprises tucked throughout the evening that kept us on the edge of our seats. The Food Often at themed events, the food can be an afterthought--but not here. The meal was absolutely delicious. Every course was well-prepared, flavorful, and served with a level of quality that matched the high-caliber entertainment. A Hands-On Experience One of the highlights for our group was the interactive element. We didn't just watch the magic; we actually learned a couple of tricks ourselves! It was a great touch to walk away with a few secrets "up our sleeves" to impress friends and family later. Bottom Line: Whether you're with a group of friends or co-workers, this is a five-star experience. We laughed, we ate well, and we left feeling completely entertained. We'll definitely be talking about this one for a long time!
