Parking was easy. The interior is beautiful and the addition of elevators helps those who have problems using stairs. We were in the balcony for this performance and it was perfect. No dodging heads and we could see all the action on the stage. A wondeful experience

If you have a love for the arts, then this place is a must for Broadway Shows. Broadway Shows can be a bit pricey but recently discovered the Beyond Series which has very reasonably priced tickets for great performances. Check out their schedules online.

Love this place. Have seen some amazing shows here. Parking is a pain so show up early. They serve adult beverages but also allow you to bring in water which is nice!. Seats are very comfortable and provide lots of leg rooms. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Solid theater. When I walk on the railings I usually get in trouble though unless it's night time. That's really quite backwards though, as it's much more dangerous at night. Best place tower plays on campus though. Good good.

Very nice, good performance auditorium. Be careful with the bathrooms, design allows people to look inside. Also, you CAN take drinks into performance area. This is a nice Frank Lloyd Wright designed facility. It truly shows the care of design. It must have been updated fairly recently with an eye on the classic design scheme. You sit close enough to the performance to be truly engaged and entertained. The parking was close, easy, and inexpensive compared to California. The only issue we had was the wine and coffee. They were not only not good, they were horrible.

Attended the play Alladin today. Upon arrival parking was organized and quick. Security was also very efficient and quick. Workers were friendly and helpful from parking attendants to ticket takers. Alladin was what I expected wonderfully done. Overall I would recommend Gammage Theatre as a very satisfying experience . A great night out with my family.

They bring awesome Broadway shows. They create special drinks for each show. All drinks are $10 and you can t tip. Great bar service. Acoustics/sound is not great. Almost all seats have a good view. Traffic can be a a nightmare. Run out of the theater as soon as you can to avoid traffic.

I've seen many shows at Gammage. Wait times for lines to get in are quick. They let people in after the show has started, which is annoying as you have to wait for them to shuffle across in front of you. However the auditorium has good sound and lighting and staff is very nice.

Gammage provides a wonderful experience, and last night's show was OUTSTANDING. I listed 4 stars because parking is a challenge and the facility could use some TLC, but it's always a worthwhile visit regardless. Pick a restaurant on Mill (I recommend House of Tricks) and make a night of it! Who needs dinner and a movie when you can do dinner and a live performance?

Worst sounding sound system I have ever heard. My grandsons band concert had a better system. Also, the chairs are terrible for comfort. Hard as a rock with no ergonomic back support. Took a long time to find parking, which was nothing compared to the long wait to leave. Have never been so disappointed in a venue.

Beautiful venue, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Great acoustics. But because it's a college auditorium, the entetertainment may be great or they just might be crummy touring road companies. They often get in great stuff for people whose taste goes beyond just broadway road shows, that's when the place gets exciting.

Always love the shows but super annoying to have people who rustle their plastic food and candy wrappers through the whole show. I don't appreciate it at a movie theater but it's especially wrong when you're paying triple the price for a ticket and can't focus on the show.

Very beautiful architecture here, parking is not a total unpleasant fiasco, good selection of shows year round if you're into orchestra/Broadway type plays, or certain comedy venues. Plus having Mill Ave Restaurants and pedicabs zipping around make dining before or after less of a hassle trying to find parking. Phoenix pedicab Service were an excellent choice on my visit to see Wicked. Such culture around this area of Tempe.

I have seen about 4-6 shows a year at Gammage through my time at ASU. About 20 shows at this point. It is such an incredible theatre with great student discounts, a phenomenal lineup year in and year out, and a very helpful and courteous staff. Highly recommend to anyone who appreciates the arts and to anyone new to them and looking for a fun night out!

The upper balcony seats are not for the faint at heart. If you are prone to nosebleeds, fear heights or have high anxiety i recommend paying extra for lower level seats. Overall it is a gorgeous venue and even from the 2nd top from the view of the stage was perfect. I can't wait to go back
