We were at the Great American Soul-book tribute concert last night, and it was awesome as always! The group was fantastic and everyone in attendance had a blast, and got along amazingly. The Reilly is nice, clean, and very well kept. The staff and servers always go above and beyond to please. The ticket prices and level of entertainment make the Reilly affordable and appealing. If you like good music, and have the opportunity to do so, the Reilly is the place to be! read more

Many great shows at the Reilly's venues. Lots of free parking! We went to Dueling Pianos in the Black Box, and it was an amazing show. See my pics... nice small intimate venue, where the performers can interact with the audience. Drinks are reasonably priced, and they had multiple bars open. Highly recommended! read more

Exceptional hospitality, great venue (surpasses usual small town culture and offerings), and a great place for a night out!

First time going to a show here. We purchased tickets a few months back and the process could not have been easier. The parking was area was convenient and the staff showed us where to go. Will call had our tickets ready and the ushers were friendly and got us to our seats. They had a bar available and the bathrooms were well taken care of. So that was the soup to nuts of the center, but we were here to see Take 6 and they were amazing! I hope they come back to Ocala very soon! read more

We went for the Texas Guitar Quartet and had to leave early because it was SO COLD and even changing seats couldn't get away from the AC blowing on us. read more

Living in Lake County, sometimes we have to travel a bit for entertainment. I don't like descending into Orlando for evening concerts, so I was glad to drive to Ocala to see Moe Bandy in concert. I haven't been a fan of his really, but I was surprised at how many of his songs I know. Anyway, I went to the Reilly Cener website to order the tickets. The process was easy, except that I had to start over for some reason to get the seats I wanted. And I wasn't crazy about the fee I had to pay for the convenience of buying online. It seems like it is perhaps a convenience for their staff also. But like airports, fees seem to be the norm nowadays. It says after you purchase the tickets you can either download and print them, or show your confirmation number to someone for them to look up. I printed ours out and I recommend that, for after going into the lobby of the center, I think it might have taken longer to find someone who knew how to look it up. So we drove to Ocala and found the place, and then went to a nearby restaurant to grab a quick meal, since we hadn't seem any info about the venue selling food. They do offer alcohol and snacks like pretzels, it turned out, so the restaurant was a good idea. It is a great venue, combining plenty of seats with a cozy feel. We sat in the front row of the balcony. So we were a ways from the stage, but the sound was great, as was not having rows of seats in front of us. My wife's knee was bothering her, so she appreciated the elevator up to the balcony. Like many entrainment and arts venues, most if not all of the staff are volunteers, so you can count on them being nice. I expect we will be going back there sometime, either for another performer we like, or for one of their orchestral evenings. read more

The Reilly Arts Center is a very special venue. It's large enough to feature some great entertainment and small enough that it feels very welcoming. I've attended concerts, ballet and plays. I've gone blindly to performances without any expectations and every time I've left wondering why this theater isn't sold out. Each and every performance has been spectacular and the cost to attend is very reasonable. Seats are comfortable and love the fact that they allow purchased snacks and drinks in the theater. Afterwards, you often get to meet and chat with the performers, enhancing the experience. Bottom line: this venue is a hidden gem and should be lauded and celebrated for bringing the Arts to Ocala. read more

Reilly Arts Center - Ballet - Performing Arts Near Me - Ocala, Florida

It is a lovely venue. We came to hear the rehearsal for the performance scheduled the next day. The conductor introduced the solo artist who plays the tuba. read more

Gorgeous intimate theater, perfect experience. Need to book real popular acts into this venue beyond the wonderful symphony and other local productions. Hosting The James Hunter Six in October was a superb choice and a great beginning. Perhaps more widespread marketing is needed. Indie rock, Americana, and classic legacy acts that play small venues like this would be a no-brainer. This theater has a lot of future potential. Looking forward to more shows. read more

Fun event center. Not too big! Plenty of parking and friendly staff. Show was great too.
