The WestSide Story performance was great and in expensive. Parking is always a problem on CU campus... so get there a half hour early, and use the Parkmobile app on your phone... the old LCD meter in the lot is near impossibe to read as a senior, if it works at all!.

Not a huge fan of big crowds but we enjoyed the Nutcracker here. Parking was adequate if you weren't running late. Macky was pretty easy to find. The seats we had (row k, 8-10) were excellent. Easy to see the stage and close enough for a visit to observe the orchestra before the show. Ladies restroom was on this side of the theater, which was convenient. Lines at restroom were long but went quickly. I was pleasantly surprised to see a baby changing table in the large stall on the far left, even though I had left my baby at home. Thank you Macky Auditorium!

Still the BEST SOUND System EVER. I have performed at the annual Christmas concert here at CU many years ago and was thrilled to be able to see my cousin's daughters dance recital at Macky recently. Macky continues to be an incredible venue for such events. The space was used very effectively and the sound system is just as good as it was 30 years ago, if not better. The staging area was perfect for the recital and lent an air of distinction to the whole event. What a lovely reason to be back on campus and in one of the most beloved buildings at that.

Macky is a wonderful old concert hall with great acoustics. Because it is on campus, it is difficult to get to and parking is scarce to non-existent. It is a short walk to the Hop or Skip buses along Broadway and/or Colorado Blvd. One tip: There are more bathrooms in the basement.

Macky is a well-loved and well-attended auditorium on the University of Colorado Boulder campus. The acoustics are beautiful for everything from live classical and jazz to prerecorded modern and experimental music played with dance ensemble performances. The volume can get a little loud at times but I've never felt like I was going to lose my hearing. I recommend not sitting much farther back in the orchestra than 3-4 rows under the balcony. Some sounds can get a little muted that far away. The building was updated not long ago with a second women's restroom; no more trips across the street during intermission!

The Auditorium itself was very nice, and we went there for my daughter's graduation. However, there are a few items of note that kill the vibe so to speak...The stairs are downright scary; almost feels vertical, and at numerous times I felt as if I would trip and fall down, baby in hand! The speaker system as well could use some fine tuning, and be a bit louder and clearer. For the most part though, a nice place to hold a big event!

Mahlera fourth symphony, wonderful sound from the orchestra, only have four because at times it as hard to hear the soprano singing. She needed to move closer to the microphone or project her voice more. Other than that it was still beautifully sung and performed.
