ASU Gammage Reviews

It's a really awesome place that Frank Lloyd wright constructed .it's old and still nice ..went to a master's diploma graduation there in may 2018...a place to come n visit...

Great place to catch a live show at. Really good seats in most areas.

The acoustics here are great, and they have nice individual practice rooms. My only complaint is that it looks a bit long in the tooth, and could use some serious updating.

Beautiful theater with comfy seats & friendly staff. Easy, convenient parking, too!

Great Broadway shows. Acoustics still need improvements but at least they now have plenty of bathrooms and an elevator!

Booked season tix for the 2015-16 season and purchased balcony seats... I must say, the acoustics are crap despite ASU Gammage spending however much money they recently did... They seem to like to talk about the big enhancement/renovation to the sound system as though there's no problem any longer.

There IS.

Have had to upgrade a couple shows to Orchestra seating to hear better (I have very good hearing, by the way)... Have also used the earphone/assisted hearing devices they provide and those proved to be extremely static-filled and almost equally annoying.

Was just in NYC and took in three plays/musicals and the acoustics were markedly (by 500%) better!!!

Gammage is a great venue for the Broadway series to be presented in!

Nice theater. I recently saw Miss Saigon and Wicked here.

What can I say? I'm a biased reviewer with good memories of working as an usher through my student career at ASU. The acoustics are damn decent, the seats cush, and the aisles wide with gentle staircases and ramps throughout. My only complaint is the facilities are not terribly friendly if you're on crutches or in a wheelchair (or have a brace or cane)...stairs are gentle but there are plenty of them. The architecture, of course, is renowned as a Frank Lloyd Wright creation but it's still, from the outside, the "wedding cake."
All in all, a genteel and civilized experience from another era that shouldn't be missed.

Comfortable seating and a wonderful show, k-love Christmas show

Awesome accommodations for people with mobility issues!

Just wish they did not allow food in where the performances take place. Somehow I always get people opening bags and eating pretzels or whatever seated behind me! I love all the choices of shows!

Charging $10 for parking and no handicap spaces open how am I supposed to help my mother into the building.

We saw Wicked tonight. While the decore is dated, the theater itself was above standard. Parking is a bit of a hassle but it was pretty well managed. Well done!

Gammage is a great place to see a Broadway show in Tempe!

I love visiting Gammage to see Broadway shows. The balcony seats are great for the price

Love the new lady's bathrooms, toilets, w.c., or rest rooms. Whatever you call it, they are great.

Great venue. Not a bad seat in the house. Parking can be a little tough sometimes.

Two other reasons to love this place:

1. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright

2. They have food for sale that you can bring to your seat (perfect for when your stomach is trying to interrupt the performance)

Excellent venue, always clean, good staff. Sometimes the prices are too high for the premium acts. Parking around here not bad.

At Gammage to see Wicked. Very nice theatre. Convenient parking.

Great venue saw Anastasia which was a very good show. Still not enough bathrooms even for men.

Excellent place for comedy shows, theater etc. Watched the outlaw comedy here! Was good fun!

Nice theater lots of clean restrooms. Free cushions/ boosters for the upper area. But views are best from lower level or balcony 1. We saw the bodyguard, great show, have also seen Mama Mia and others here.

Great original theater designed by the iconic Frank Lloyd Wright this theater is a must attend for Broadway touring shows. Just don't see anything that requires the in house sound system such as ASU graduations, the system is awful. With a few updates, this theater will remain a beautiful staple in Arizona historical venues.

I have made good money doing really interesting work here for the past 8 years. Hope to make it a few more years.

Wonderful venue. Seating chart - when purchasing tickets - is a bit off-putting but once you have been there to see a show you have a much better and clearer point of reference for future online purchases.

Went to see The Book of Mormon. We were seated underneath the balcony and couldn't hear nor understand what was being said on stage. We left at the intermission and I don't see us ever going back. Not for the money and not able to hear. We heard it was a good venue, not our experience!

I thoroughly enjoy every trip to Gammage. The performances are top-notch, the amenities nice, and the theater well-designed. I plan to continue to have season tickets for a long time to come.

Great venue for a variety of production styles. Plan ahead and get there at least 45 minutes early for parking. Good concessions and support staff.

Second time I've been at Gammage in 2 months, been there many times throughout the years... I love it...seen a lot of great shows there.

I have going to Gammmage for years. I do enjoy the shows

Ok my experience with theater production is limited, mostly I go to watch symphonies, dance shows and vocal performances. So my review of Gammage is based on comparison to other venues with those types of shows. I do like the atmosphere and style of this building but I'm often disappointed in the seating. The balcony is scary because of its narrow rows. It feels like I could fall right off if I lose my balance... Or at least fall into someone else's lap, lol. I sat in the orchestra seats this time but toward the back. It was better but not as good of viewing as I was hoping. Maybe the mezzanine would have been better. The sound was great, most of the time. The microphone cut out at least twice but nothing that ruined the show by any means. It just made me realize that you can't hear well at all if there wasn't a sound system. Lastly, plan to use the restroom in advance because lines are long, there are not many available and the rows of seating are so long that you have to walk in front of many people to exit the auditorium (unless you sit near the end).

Very busy, parking is a nightnare. Usually not worth the hassle.

Beautiful, intimate auditorium with incredible history and significance... And Wicked was GREAT!

Thus ASU spot is central to most ASU activities. Close to Mill st shopping and eating too!!!

The design of the theater allows patrons to see everything on the stage without any bad seats.

I've seen several shows here. Great seats, nice venue overall. They've added more women's restrooms Which my wife appreciates

Still a wonderful venue but it is in need of a remodel

The traffic and parking are a nightmare! But, they've added lots of new toilet stalls for the ladies!

We love going to Gammage. The staff are always abundant and helpful, the snacks aren't ridiculously overpriced (just a little overpriced), and the auditorium is lovely. Not a bad seat in the place.q I like that they have so many seating/price options for every show. Sometimes we are in the nosebleeds, but can still see and hear everything.

One of the best live theatre venues in Arizona, in dire need of an upgrade that but will soon receive!

Always a great time. This show was Miss Saigon and the sound, lighting etc. was fantastic as always.

First use of continental seating. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright

Cool venue, had read it was difficult to get in and out of and they were right. Drinks not overly priced.

Nice facility, was interested to be inside the only AZ public building designed by Frank Llyod Wright. We saw Wicked, great performance. We will probably not purchase seats in the top balcony again though they are quite cramped and slightly dangerous, as they are so steep with means of support.

Show was great. I was not aware of seating setup when I bought tickets so I had to deal with my fear of heights. It was easier when house lights are off. Parking was easy but we arrived fairly early.

Watched wicked it was amazing and the staff was great

They pack you in early and have 10 chairs for everyone to fight over. They sell you food and gifts and you have to sit on the floor to eat. We had to come early just to get a place to park.

Great accoustics
Great concert
Amazing venue
And they have added more bathrooms!

I have loved every performance I've watched here, though sitting up the the balconies kind of terrifies me it's still lots of fun! Can get a little cold inside though. Very nice staff! Went here for the High School Musical Theatre Awards and had a blast!!

The acoustics aren't always the greatest but one of the places in the valley to catch touring Broadway musicals. Maybe a minor thing but they recently renovated the women's bathrooms. Finally, no more long lines!

Great venue, but they need to figure out the parking. If you come, count on spending at least 20 minutes getting parked and close to an hour leaving.

Wicked was great to see here except almost got in a fight with some guys ol lady ncyse they were being very mean and rude to my grandmother and there was no security around to get him outta our faces . Me and his lady were nose to nose let's just say that
!!

Great staff, beautiful venue. Very clean and tidy as always. Still needs more restrooms though.

Great place in the PHX area to see musicals/plays/shows. Traffic can get crazy when big musical productions are touring, so make sure to arrive early to find parking.

Confrtable, clean, spacious and with a lot of parking

The acoustics have completely changed since they shrink the pit orchestra and added extra seating. Additionally, they are charging for parking even though they increased ticket prices again to include parking fees. It's sad to see what ASU greed is doing to the arts...

Architecture history from architect Frank Lloyd Wright

Was here for veterans day parade. Fun. Very spacious with park and loads of parking space
