Show-Jacksonville locals put on a great show. Went to see the show menopause this time. My mother…read moreand mother-in-law particularly enjoyed the show. We had a great time and laughed a lot. I've been here several times before and it's a hit every time. Dinner and a show was a lovely celebration of my mother-in-law's girls night out 80th birthday. Photographer-We also had our picture taken together. We purchased a package, and the photographer had keychains and a photo ready to go before we left for the evening. This was a nice souvenir for my mother-in-law's birthday. Food-My mom commented that her chicken piccata was the best she ever had. They make nice dinner dishes with prompt friendly service. Barely remembered to grab pictures halfway through the dining .

POTUS! It's been almost a week since I saw this hilarious play and I am still giggling…read more What an awesome and quaint venue. When plays are present it as know as 5 and Dime Theatre Company!

After 5 years at another dance studio, we had to face facts and make a change. Not an easy task…read morewhen you're looking for solid instruction that offers real progress (especially since the trust put in the last school was misplaced). Open house tonight was an eye opener. There's no question that moving to The Florida Ballet was the right decision. The attention to proper form, the patience, the barre work---all stellar! Explanations on what your body should be doing, the mechanics of correct position and posture was illuminating. The instructor was hands on, changing incorrect form as it was happening and giving concise and clear tips on how to fix whatever move they were learning/practicing. Instructor was friendly and very professional. Kind and patient with the girls but never relaxing the high standards she obviously expected. We are thrilled with what we witnessed tonight and are confident this studio can make up for the wasted year or two at the last one. Viva ballet!

Lazzara Performance Hall seats 1300 for shows, has plenty of parking either in the parking garage…read moreadjacent to the hall or the lot across the entrance road. I had the opportunity to see The Nutcracker Ballet here and will now keep a look out for future performances! The seats are spacious, the theater feels more intimate than others in the area. They do have a small concession stand, however food and most beverages must be consumed outside the actual theater. Only bottled water is allowed inside the theater. The Florida Ballet performed the Nutcracker with guest ballerinas from the Boston Ballet- the show was lovely, spectacular and elegant scenes with so many dancers. Even the youngest of the show were amazing and very cute. Compared to other venues in the Jacksonville area- this was one of the better theaters I have gone to a show at. I look forward to returning for more!

We came here to see a show and let me tell you, I don't think there's a bad seat in this theater…read more It's more intimate than other theaters I've been too, which I love. The space is perfect to take in a show, as you have a great seat whether you're sitting right up front or in the balcony. The staff is wonderful, they were kind, and showed us to our seats. Parking is also a plus at this theater, as you don't have to pay for parking and the parking garage is pretty close to the theater, which is great. All in all, I'd return to Lazzara to see another show. Pros: -Clean facility -Great seats wherever you sit -Nice bathrooms -Intimate -Helpful staff Cons: -None that I can recall Tips: Arrive early to get a good parking spot.

Ok I never go to the movies, but despite this theatre being somewhat new it had a couple of negs…read more 1) the movie was late starting and no one from the theatre informed us. Another patron ended up leaving the theatre to find out what was happening. 2) the seats share a cup holder and armrest with your neighbor. It made it awkward sitting next someone I didn't know and I felt like I was bothering her everytime I reached for my drink. Every seat should have 2 individual armrests and more space in between. (Maybe some seats can be designated as cozy ones). 3) bathroom trash was overflowing. Otherwise the seats were somewhat comfy and even can be heated. I loved being able to reserve what seat I wanted ahead of time and you can order food too. Oh and they have beer and wine! Nothing is better than popcorn and beer for dinner haha!
