I attended the Olivia Newton-John concert at the DPAC. Every employee I interacted with was very helpful and polite. My seats were on the main floor, so I was a little surprised to learn that I had to go to the second floor to reach my seats. Great view of the stage from my seat. The DPAC has three levels of seating including balcony level, aka nosebleed level. My only concern was in exiting. The congestion out of the seating area to the stairway seemed a little heavy and lacking in directional signage. read more

DPAC - pre-concert of the Olivia Newton-John stage at DPAC - Performing Arts Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

There really is no bad seat in the house. Concession prices are reasonable but the best part is the amazing array of talent that comes through. Dealing with the box office was easy and the site lines excellent. The only complaint was having to line up to enter as doors only opened 1 hour prior to the show. Plenty of parking nearby for $5-6 or $10 VIP next to the venue. read more

Great venue and oddly easy to get in and out of. Very efficient and helpful staff. Typical food at such venues and for concerts.

My wife and I went to see the Simon & Garfunkel Story on 1-8-2020. WOW we're we surprised! I want to give a big Thank You to Stuart Klein for his wonderful seats and hospitality. We received VIP parking and got to hand out at the Lexus Presidents Club. Outstanding performance and what a great Venus. We will come back for sure! read more

Love DPAC! We have been broadway season ticket holders for 4 years, and every show has been great! Many times it's the shows we know nothing about that we end up loving the most! We also enjoy seeing concerts here. The staff are always super friendly! They are also extremely helpful...especially when it comes to finding seats or assisting with the restroom lines. The ladies room line can get really long, but they have an awesome system down to keep it moving fast! read more

DPAC is the most amazing venue I have ever been to, and we are so lucky to have it here in Durham. I have seen countless Broadway shows, a few concerts, and even attended a Taste event (back before they started holding it at the Armory). Anything I go to at DPAC is going to be an enjoyable evening. The seats are comfortable, the parking is easy, there's plenty of food options nearby, the ushers are friendly, the acoustics are good. I really can't think of anything I would change. I have even had the luxury of visiting the President's Club Lounge on occasion and that is so cool- warm cookies, complimentary sodas and great views of the city. Even leaving DPAC and returning home is a piece of cake for me. read more

We were just at the Bonnie Raitt concert and they were throwing people out of the show (calling in the Durham police to help) because people were checking their cell phones. Seriously. I lady had her cell phone in her lap and they forcedly removed her from the show because her cell phone was in her lap. I have never seen anything like it. Everyone around me was joking how crazy they (the DPAC "monitors ") were about people checking their phones but then they threw out the three people beside me. WTF!! read more

Two words- Blown away! I can't believe how incredibly lucky we are to have such a world-class venue with such top performers right in our backyard. Just saw "Love Never Dies" and was phenomenal. Tickets are totally reasonable given the quality of the shows, and you really have a hard time finding a seat that isn't good. The food and drink cost are also reasonable, not nearly as bad as most other places will charge you ($7 for alcohol). A few tips: - House opens 1 hour prior to performance time, seats 30 minutes prior. - Back your car into any one of the parking garages or it will be a pain to get out. - We arrived & parked at about 7:20 for an 8:00 performance, which meant we got a decent spot in the parking garage, didn't have to wait for food/drink and had time for a restroom break and finding our seats without having too much time to waste. read more

I surprised my girlfriend with tickets to Chicago and ended up surprising myself as well. I ended up really enjoying my first visit to the DPAC. Chicago was superb and even though our seats were pretty far up in stratosphere they were okay. The seats were slightly narrow, but I am a pretty tall guy so regular folks are probably fine. Heavy folks maybe not so much. The employees are very friendly and helpful. Grabbed my tickets when I arrived, visited the bathroom and found my seats in a little under 30 minutes. I will definitely catch another show here. The building is gorgeous and there are ample restaurants nearby to eat dinner before a show. read more

I went to watch the Riverdance show and it was my first time at the DPAC. I was extremely impressed with everything from the parking to the people leading you in to the show. Because of this great experience, we bought tickets to Les Miserables. read more

Superior experience. Show was great. Acoustics and lighting were excellent. Temperature in theater was good. Even bathroom lines were well managed. I still have a problem with having to climb up one flight of stairs when you enter building. But I do know where elevator is located if I choose to use it. Great show. Especially stand out are the ushers, ticket takers and all the staff. They are smiling, genuine and a pleasure to meet. read more

My boyfriend and I's first visit here did not disappoint! Service was amazing -- very friendly and helpful staff. Great security inside and outside! The parking deck nearby is $5, which isn't bad for it being just around the block! Concessions are reasonably priced -- a cup of coffee is $3 and "bottomless". It's serve-yourself style, and you can refill as many times on any of the floors. Bottled water is $2 -- but I'd probably bring my own bottle next time. Bathrooms are large and clean. As silly as it might sound, I was impressed by the display of free feminine products on the counter (tampons AND pads WITH a floral arrangement). Classy! Chairs were a bit uncomfortable. The small of my back started aching badly halfway through the show -- not enough support. I might need to bring a little pillow next time! My only other complaint was people coming into the show late. TEN minutes into the show, boyfriend and I had to get up TWICE for these late-comers to fill in the empty seats in the row. Pleeeease, don't be this rude to all the on-time theater-goers. My biggest suggestion is to leave the show early (as in, during the actor bowing) -- to avoid the parking deck traffic build-up you will be stuck in, if you leave when everyone else does. If you decide to stay through the actor bowing, hit up one of the nearby food joints after to pass the time you'd be sitting in your car (i.e. Tobacco Road Sports Cafe). read more

I made my first visit to a DPAC event (David Gray concert, thanks Yelp!). What an outstanding venue! I enjoyed touring the facility almost as much as I did the show. It looks, feels and sounds like a world-class theater. The seating is comfortable and spacious and provided us long-legged theater patrons with plenty of room. It seems that just about every seat provides a good view of the stage. DPAC is surrounded by plenty of parking options and most restaurants in the immediate area will reimburse you for the cost of parking if you show them your parking receipt when requesting the check. We had a knucklehead sitting behind us who would not shut up during the musical performance. But the ushers quickly took care of him so everyone could enjoy the show. read more

DPAC, as it better known, is an amazing venue. Having been here for two broadway shows I am truly impressed at the efficiency of the staffs handling incoming populace by utilizing the double entrances for box office traffic and ticket/pass holders. having various concession on each floor is an awesome touch. What always makes me chuckle is during intermission, a mild mannered staff will come out and raise the sign "Ladies restroom LINE STARTS HERE." I find that to be a nice touch. The building is also an art in and of itself. Looking at it from down the street, it reminded me NY MET(-ropolitan) Opera, with the vaulted glass veneer from the ground floor all the way to the top, showing off the elegant design of red carpet, walls with finished wood (with shutters that can hide the concession stands when not in use, so cool!) the high watt spot light installed out front in the courtyard serves as guiding light to anyone finding their way to the show. Seating arrangement inside auditorium is optimum; I can't say I didn't complain about the leg room, but it is not the worst **remembering Cirque Du Soleil at RBC Center** but other than that, acoustics and panorama are all excellent from any seat, any level. The pleasant experience both time is slowly convincing me to pick up the broadway series season pass, and maybe I can catch "Rain: a tribute to Beatles" and "Chicago" on encore. read more

I am so excited that the DPAC has come to the Triangle. When I lived in Michigan, we'd go to the Fox Theater, the Detroit Opera House, or the Fisher Theater to see plays and musicals. When we moved to NC, I was sad to hear that there weren't any venues for big Broadway shows. Then the DPAC opened! My husband and I had season tickets the year they opened and saw some amazing shows. With the American Tobacco Campus right there, there's always parking available and good food near as well. I think the best part about the DPAC is how friendly the staff is. Several times we were able to get a golf cart ride to the doors for free when it was sprinklling (so thankful for that). The people at the doors to greet the guests are friendly and welcoming and really set the tone for the entire place. I've sat all over inside and never had a bad view. I think the only negative that I can give is the price for food and drinks, but honestly, you can bring your own snacks and drinks if you hide them in your purse (no one checks). Just be sure to be ON TIME to your show... if you show up late, you'll have to wait outside until there's a free moment for them to let you in. TRUST ME- you don't want to be late and miss out!! **Avoid going to Tyler's Taproom (ATC) before a show-- they're SUPER slow and won't care that you've got a show to catch!! ** read more

We really are lucky to have such an incredible performing arts center in Durham! Truly the best venue in the triangle with so many fantastic concerts, broadways and talents people coming through. I love it's accessibility to downtown (both for parking, food and drink!), proximity to the highway and organization within the space. Although I have only seen a handful of shows in the space, I've always sat on the orchestra level, so I can't speak for the other levels. But, I have been seated in the very, very back of the orchestra level, and I can't say there's never been a bad seat so far! Whether you're seeing a group (Blue Man Group, The Illusionists), or a broadway (Book of Mormon, Motown, Beautiful), or a musician (Sufjan Stevens) the DPAC is a wonderful venue. I was hesitant to initially see a musician at a Performing Arts Center, you don't get the energy from 'standing in a big crowd'. But, it was still an amazing and much more relaxed experience. They have an incredible sound system that translates all across the space equally, and the 'light shows' they're capable of there are extraordinary. They have all sorts of snacks and drinks for purchase including wine, beer and liquor AND have cupholders at every seat for your convenience. This is the only place where I've spelled Starbucks coffee and started to crave it. The chair are comfy and there's lots of leg room. The staff is friendly and quick acting in emergency situation (which yes, I have been a witness of!) Now, I personally wouldn't put the DPAC on my must do list if you're vacationing in the triangle, but it's definitely worth a visit if there's someone in town who interests you. The ONLY qualm I have is to STOP using Ticketmaster for all their shows. Ticketmaster charges insane "fees" and it can be very frustrating to buy a ticket when they go on sale. I really wish the DPAC would move ticket sales in house. P.S. A tip for pros, message or compliment me for the BEST FREE parking for the DPAC! It's a secret tip, so you know I'm not just going to share it with anyone ;) read more

I am a season ticket holder for the second year now and let me say this is the nicest and cleanest Performing Arts Center I have every been to. We live in Fayetteville so we drive almost 4 hours round trip to get to a show, but I am not complaining. They make every effort to welcome you, they even dress up their uniforms with little accessories for each show. There is not a bad seat in the entire theater!!!! My ONLY complaint is that we had someone bring a 2 year old to SHREK and the baby fussed and cried through the entire show, kicked the man in front of us in he head, leaned over into our seats and made sure none of us heard anything. I expect small children at Shrek in a movie theatre but at a Broadway show? NO. The underlying humor is NOT child appropriate so I have to question the reasoning for a parent bringing a small child and the staff for allowing the child to ruin the show for us around it. There really should be an age limit of say .... 10? read more

DPAC is obviously amazing so there's not need to go one about the high quality of their performances or the venue. I do want to rave about their customer service. I always like being greeted at the front door and I have found that whenever I've had the slightest complaint or problem (such as being shown to the wrong seat) they give me food vouchers to make up for the hassle. If you know a Duke student you can often get them to buy cheaper tickets at the Duke student box office. Another great promotion is that during ADF people under 30 can get $10 tickets for some world class dance shows. A few other tips: you can order drinks before the show starts that will be waiting for you at intermission so you can skip the lines. Also, if you want to avoid ticket processing fees you can go directly to the box office or call them and there usually is no wait and they are so friendly. They have added another women's restroom on the orchestra level which is not as visible so the waits are usually shorter. Finally, every year there is a free event in the spring to announce the next year's Broadway series that has free food and drink and well worth getting there early to enjoy the free food and admire the views. read more

Customer service is clearly lacking at DPAC. As a season ticket holder, I purchased 2 extra Hamilton tickets for a mom to take her daughter as a birthday gift. I was told the tickets would arrive by sept 11 which they did not. When I called to explain they were a birthday gift and needed them before her birthday, I was told the tickets would not be sent until sometime later in October. This makes no sense especially as the show is part of the season tickets which we have already received. DPAC puts itself first without regard for its customers. I doubt I will be renewing my tickets due to such poor support for customers. read more

I saw Wicked here a few months back and really really enjoyed it. The show was wonderful and the theater was fantastic. The structure itself is beautiful and it is so nice to have loads and loads of natural light flowing into the lobby area (we attended at matinee). When I had gone earlier to pick up my tickets I was disappointed by the curt nature of the woman at the ticket office. She wasn't exactly customer service oriented. However, the entire staff on the day of the performance proved she was the exception not the rule. Everyone was so friendly and constantly offered to help. I had no wait in the Men's room before the show and we passed on any concession offerings. The seats themselves were very comfortable and, even at 6'4" I felt like I had a pretty good amount of space. Two things that kept this from being a 5 star review: 1) patrons are allowed to bring food and drink into the theater. Seems like a good idea but when I've got the person behind me chomping on popcorn through the first half it doesn't help the experience. 2) I'm not sure if the sound system is really great for the space. It may have just been my seats or the traveling show but group performances were very quiet and difficult to understand while solo performances were excellent. I'm looking forward to returning to see another show at DPAC. read more

"The Tide is high and I'm movin' on... I wanna be your number one... I'm not the kinda girl" oh, wait... let's just stop right there before my bride thinks I need to come out of the closet. First, thank you, YELP for helping out in making for a great night with my bride to see Blondie! DPAC is a very good venue to see a show! The staff was great, very very helpful. The vendors acted like they appreciated my business and were helpful in pointing out little things we might not have known about the place. The only complaint I have was the sound mix. Whoever was mixing the sound really scaled back the vocals/guitars and kept the bass/keys way too high. I don't object to loud bass, until it drowns out almost everything else in the mix and makes the overall sound very muddy. JMHO. read more

I have been to the DPAC 3 times in the last 30 days to see a show and it has been a wonderful experience ! One little mix up at will call, but nonetheless it was resolved and doesn't deter me from returning. The Staff is friendly, and so far all shows have started promptly. The venue offers plenty of parking options and is in the heart of downtown Durham surrounded by plenty of dining options. I love the little touches like fresh flowers inside the venue and the cleanliness.Guests have the option to get coffee/tea as well as cocktails and a chance to have their picture taken free on the Red Carpet! I am impressed by the 2015-2016 calendar and the variety of shows that are coming to the Triangle. I highly recommend you snag some tix to an upcoming performance ! read more

Great place to watch Broadway shows. My husband and I went to watch the Lion King here. Conveniently located as it is in downtown Durham. Easy parking access. We parked at the restaurant we were in, but saw lots of garage parking that's super cheap (approx $5). Can't wait to see our next Broadway show at this venue. read more

At the door tonight, proof of vax or negative test was required. Bought tickets a long long time ago. Had no idea of such requirement. One of four had no proof. We all left with great disappointment. Recent email about event from Ticketmaster was silent about the issue. Was planning on buying tickets to January 18 upcoming show and Margaritaville. read more

Modern and organized event venue. Knowledgeable staff. Seats are adequately comfortable and well-spaced. Parking is simple (found street parking a few blocks away). Nice line of vision to the stage from any vantage point. Easy in and out. Good flow of traffic. Acoustics are great. Didn't try the concessions, but it looked like there was a reasonable range of choices. The entire venue smells like sweet sugary cashews, or whatever kind of nuts they sell. read more

This is a really nice venue with some quality acts that come through. The auditorium is well-built and spacious, has comfortable seats, good sound quality, and makes for an enjoyable experience for whatever performance you're watching. The parking situation isn't bad - if you get there early enough, you may be able to find free parking on the streets (during the right times), but the nearby pay lot is convenient as well. DPAC has really helped improve the downtown Durham experience, and I would recommend trying to see a performance here if you can. read more

I love that the big shows make DPAC a priority in their tours. We've been to their open house, which included a behind the scenes tour, and the opportunity to sit in the different sections to see perspectives and line of sight towards purchasing tickets. That helped hugely towards our buying Lion King tickets via phone with the fabulous call center customer service people. So far the only performance we've been to is Summit Church's Christmas at DPAC, and the venue is stunning and the staffers and volunteers are top-notch. read more

Hands down, 5 Stars. I've been here numerous times for Yelp Elite events and can I just say, I have never-EVER-ever had a bad time or a bad seat in the house. The staff are so stinking friendly. I aspire to be as friendly as them one day ::sigh:: one day. Every person I've run into that works here, at the door, at concession stands, directing the flow of people, souvenirs, what-have-you, I have always been greeted with a smile and friendliness. Some of these shows are hit or miss but this staff is always amazing. I've sat in the orchestra, the top (top,top,top,top) balcony and the mid level sections. I think my favorite seats are in the mid balcony. You can easily miss things down front or up high but if you can get anywhere near the front of the mid balcony section you'll see everything PERFECTLY. Overall though, there's no bad seat in the house. Everything is terribly convenient and well thought out. This place has it's game face on. 24/7. read more

DPAC - Pre Radio City Christmas Spectacular from Section 7, Row C - Performing Arts Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

A great venue that's clean, well run, and staff are helpful and friendly. I recently saw John Oliver here the other night and although his flight was delayed, the staff did a good job keeping us informed. It is also very beautiful from the outside, especially at night when it's lit up. Parking near the ballpark is easy and free and not too far from DPAC. i'm looking forward to seeing what else they have to offer. Minus points for their oddly sloping walkways down the isles. I think two people nearly fell on their faces not realizing there was a sudden and unexpected slope in the ground as they approached the stage. read more

I have been to DPAC a few times, and have sat in varying locations, but I can honestly say there isn't a bad seat anywhere in this building! The sound is amazing.

I can see why this place is rated in the top throughout the nation! read more

DPAC - Performing Arts Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Beautiful venue that is well designed with multiple entrances, exits, and concession stands. The building and facilities are very well-maintained and clean, modern, and classy. There are lots of helpful people guiding you to your seat if you need help finding it. Parking: On DPAC nights, be prepared to have cash ($5 or $3 depending on the garage) to park in one of the garages. They don't accept credit cards; or at least, not at the garage I've been parking at. Food: There are some snacks such as soft pretzels ($4), chips, and whatnot at the concession stands on each floor, but there isn't "real" food per se. Be sure to eat before or after. To increase to 5 stars, I'd like to see some light "real food" options available. Drinks: There is an area with a table serving as a bar available with an adequate selection of alcohol. To up to 5 stars, I'd like to see an actual bar. There are also water fountains available; the ones I saw were near the entrances to the seats. Tip: Don't bring a bag; ladies, bring a wristlet instead. There's an entrance that allows people without bags to enter, and we were able to walk right in since there wasn't a line. read more

A nice solid venue and a great part of Downtown Durham! I've seen loads of shows at the DPAC, from their Broadway series and the Rockettes, to very loud concerts. Every time I come i'm impressed with just how nice everyone who works here is! They're very good with answering questions and helping me to my seat. Definitely the five-star experience! Seating-wise the venue loses a star. While the Orchestra level seats are GREAT the higher you get the more problematic the DPAC is. Of course this is expected since they're trying to get you to pay more and sit at the bottom, but what's the point of the top level seating? Every time i'm up there i'm at the strangest angle that makes it hard to see and hear as well as making me quite nauseous. Luckily i've only been up there a few times, as those tickets are not worth the price. Just pay $10 more and go down a level. Tip: You can bring your own drinks into the DPAC. Don't spend $5 on a coke and another $4 on a cookie or popcorn. Also there are a lot of great places to eat right across the street in case you need more than a snack! read more

Cannot stress enough the greatness of DPAC. The venue is gorgeous: glass wall exterior, professional and well designed interior performance hall venues; what's not to love? The Broadway shows, performances, and celebrities who perform here are top of the line and the shows that I have seen here (Blue Man Group, Piano Guys, soon Book of Mormon) comprise some of my fondest memories here at Duke. Both times we were towards the back, the former on the first floor, the latter on the top floor, but for things that aren't musicals there are screens projecting what goes on on stage so it's not hard to see what's going on. For Book of Mormon it was kind of hard to see the actors faces which was a little off-putting, but the effects and seating were still nice. Some of the only downsides would be that tickets are not cheap, and that the phone line can be extremely busy if a show's tickets have recently been released for sale. Also after the show it always takes a while to get out because of the heavy crowds and the inevitable bottleneck that results from the staircases. I would recommend the nearby parking garage that only charges a $3 fee. Enjoy the show! read more

For such a well-though-out, beautiful place, they sure do have some uncomfortable seating! Odd that they'd skimp on the size and padding of the seats when the rest of the interior, the acoustics, and mechanicals are done so well. Still, it's *the* place for Broadway-style shows now, and we're lucky to have it. Add the restaurants, etc., available across the street at the American Tobacco Campus and you have a winner for downtown Durham! read more

We love this theater! We went Sunday to see Hamilton and it was amazing!!! I love that we can get amazing Broadway shows right in our town for prices that we can afford! The staff there is always really friendly and everything is always very clean. There's really not a bad view anywhere in the theater... including the top balcony. Acoustics in there are great and we never have any trouble with too much or too little sound. There's such a variety of events there, however we have only gone to Broadway shows and for our churchs Christmas Eve services there every year -which is also always fun! (And free so come check it out!) It is never a long wait to get inside when you get there either. They are very efficient with bag check and scanning your ticket. There are lots of parking decks around as well and good places to eat within walking distance. Definitely check out a show here! read more

DPAC is a beautiful venue for musicals, concerts and comedy shows. The building is very new, clean and modern and it is in such a great location near 147 that gives you great access from all parts of the Triangle. The staff is so professional and guide you to your seating area. I have never had a bad seat at this theater and am so impressed that the Broadway series comes to North Carolina. The shows are high caliber productions and even the big names like Wicked, Phantom of the Opera and many others make their way to the DPAC. The parking is only $5 in the deck next door and there are plenty of restaurant options within walking distance. read more

I've been to DPAC a couple of times since they opened. Most recently I saw the Pink Floyd laser light show there because why not? Words I would use to describe DPAC are posh, intimate and customer service focused. DPAC isn't a large venue at all, so if you are looking to see your favorite performer, show or play up close and personal, this is the ideal venue in the area to do so. They have recently done some renovations, so you can expect all new carpeting and seat covers. The bathrooms are nice too. The employees are very nice and helpful. Ticket prices are higher here than at other venues, probably because it is so small. I expect tickets will be costing a pretty penny for Hamilton coming in 2018! read more

Another trip to the DPAC, another 5-star review. This time was to see "Anything Goes", a Cole Porter musical about love gone awry, a slew of shipboard romances, and a happy-ever-after ending that will make you smile. So - the DPAC was it's impeccable self... comfortable seats in a beautiful house younger than your typical first-grader; staff a-plenty ready to assist and guide you... eager to satisfy your every whim. Friendly, efficient (and GENEROUS) bartenders to cater to your liquid refreshments, enough snack bars to keep the lines relatively short and moving quickly; ample restrooms (YES LADIES, you heard that right... they use sign porters to guide you to the end of the line, and have a level of bathroom efficiency that my wife swears she has never seen equaled anywhere else!)... Have I left anything out? Let's see... getting INTO the place is easy enough... no matter how crowded it has been, it's never taken us more than 45 seconds to queue up and enter the establishment. Next - the play itself. Okay, by the time you read this, your opportunities to see Anything Goes might be gone... but please, please, please, if you have the chance, go see it. The cast was excellent - but Rachel York, who played Reno Sweeney, was over-the-top fantastic! The music was... well... we're talking Cole Porter here, right? ...and the choreography was perhaps as good as I've ever seen. (Mind you, I grew up in NYC and used to frequent Radio City Music Hall - so that's saying something!) All in all, this was yet another delightful foray to our favorite theater. Kudos to DPAC! read more

Yes, it's pricey, but there isn't a bad seat in the house and you can see top entertainment in a venue that's not too big and not too small. To me that's a huge plus! I do wish the prices were more reasonable, but because of the acts that they book that's just not going to happen. The employees and volunteers are friendly, keep the lines moving, and the snacks are varied, but pricey too, as in any venue that has a high ticket price. read more
