We went to the Straz Center for the first time to see Hamilton. This photo is from the back row of the Mezzanine level dead center in the middle. The theater is as nice as I expected. The real star of the theater however was the ladies restroom attendant. She got about 20 people in and out in under 4 minutes! Otherwise, the lobby was traditional theater fare. They sold souvenirs, snacks, a candy bar where you fill your own bucket, and regular bars. They take credit cards at all of the vendor stations. Beware of the prices! Two mixed drinks and a bottle of water was 30 dollars. Not bad for theater prices, but expensive if you are on a budget. Outside they have beautiful fountains and a riverwalk area that had a small bar in an airstream trailer. It was a really pretty area to talk about the show before we made our way to the parking lot. Speaking of parking, we found a lot where we paid two dollars!!! It is the Royal Regional Lot located on N Tampa. You have to walk a little bit to get to the theater but for 2 dollars it is worth it. Overall it was a great theater experience and I will be back.
