ASU Gammage Reviews

Great Mamma Mia show...seats could probably use an update though, not very comfortable.

Had a great time at Gammage with my daughter. We saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. All of the staff were super friendly and really helpful...especially when they can see a Dad flying solo with a toddler at a play! Haha marked off one star because Gammage is a bit dated as a facility...however, in spite of that, it was a great show!

Wicked cast was simply amazing tonight! Best show ever!!

Beautiful theater, beautiful building, unfortunately, they're seats are designed by a sadist who's previous employer was the Spanish inquisition.

Awesome evening. 2019 play line up is going to be exciting. Professional quality plays and great line up of performers. Handicap accessible with ramps and elevators. Brand new womens bathrooms. Plenty of handicap designated seating. Plan to arrive at least 1 hr ahead of time to get parking somewhere close to facility.

Always bringing the best shows in music, theater and entertainment

Watched High School Musical here... Had a fantastic time! Venue is immaculate!

Beautiful Building seating is excellent no matter where you are seated!

OK experience. The door people weren't very nice and there's not enough room between the seats. The audio was too loud for me and I was cold. The show was fantastic!

Watching wicked now wouldn't know if it's good or not because nobody seems to care about people sitting on other people's laps in front of everyone else.

I work for a company that moves B'way shows around the country. We loaded out Book of Mormon the other night!

Never an issue at Gammage, plenty of parking and the theater experience is one to never miss! Friendly staff, great acoustics, and plenty to see or do in the mean time while waiting for a show.

I have seen two plays at Gammage. Everyone is pleasant and the plays seem well run but the interior seem a little dated. And the parking situation is a disaster. I would say "Show up early," but then you cannot get your seat until 15 min before the show. It is also frustrating that there is construction causing confusion and delays.

Had excellent seats, fourth roll, and thrilled to the music and characters of Wicked.

All the ushers but no one could say "you will go all the way around the building, up many, many rounds of stairs to get to the balcony." The elevator is here... instead it was simply "go to the left." TOTAL DISREGARD FOR PATRONS AND PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE HEALTH ISSUES (just getting energy back from flu bug). People near us recently went through hip surgery and were not told anything either.
Do not purchase in the balcony ever again, note to self!

Beautiful auditorium. They like to serve themed drinks that go with whatever production is showing.

Iconic Venue, Frank Lloyd Wright design, easy parking, this is a great place to see just about anything. The upper balcony is crazy steap!

Always a great show. Service is excellent. Can't wait to go back!

This will be the last season we are season ticket holders. We are in row 23, seats 37 & 39 under the balcony toward the rear of the orchestra. About 15 feet forward from us is the lip of the balcony which is populated with downward- facing speakers that NEVER seem to be on. In short, we have extreme difficulty hearing anything but musical numbers we already know and so do not have to strain to understand the message. When it comes to male or female actors reciting lines or lyrics, we may as well not even be there. Males - sometimes but females - never. In fact, the new acoustic system seems to have been designed specifically to blot out the decibel range of all females and children and some male tenors. Thus, Book of Mormon was a total waste; same for Bridges of Madison County and same for "A Christmas Story" - many screeching children's voices - which were almost totally unintelligible (we left at the intermission). And in case one thinks this is just us, the couples on both our right and left have also frequently commented on their inability to hear the actors (and have also left at the intermission). The ONLY show we understood completely was "A Man's Guide to Love and Murder" because of the [small] open captioning sign placed to the left of the stage which enabled us to "get" what was going-on. In short, the new acoustics system is a bust no matter what you spent and will be THE reason WE will not renew. I feel we have wasted almost this entire season because we just could not understand either the dialogue or the lyrics. Too bad because we felt that the choice of shows this year was particularly good - and the fact that some of the shows (e.g., "If/Then") included the original Broadway cast made them truly potentially top notch.

Old with limited disabled access. But the shows are always great.

My second time seeing a play in this venue. First was Wicked, this time was The Play that Goes Wrong. We didn't have any issues with parking thankfully. Cocktails were good & creative. They had several snacks available, we indulged in a brownie and some pretzels. Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. It was pretty easy finding our seats which were a little on the small size.

Excellent facility for musical performances. Acoustics are outstanding.

Historic auditorium, wonderful shows. Not really a bad seat in the house.

It is a beautiful theater designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the upper deck is so high and the viewing angle is so steep that it's sometimes hard to see action in the back of the stage

Beautiful structure, seating, process and people. Loved it. You would too.

Clean bathrooms, nice ushers. Only place I don't like to sit is balcony...hard to see stage and feels like stadium seating. Anywhere else is good seating.

The play was fabulous and there really doesn't seem to be a bad seat in the theater. My only complaint is the lack of parking. We ate at a restaurant in Tempe. Left our cars in their parking lot and called an Uber to get to ASU Gammage. The driver had no trouble getting us in and dropping us off. Leaving is another story all together. None of the ushers at the theater gave out information as to where to meet your Uber or taxi, nor were there signs anywhere. We called for our Uber and because he could not get in to pick us up we had to walk out to Mill Avenue to meet him, as did a number of other people. A little more information about the nightmare parking would have been helpful.

This was the first time we had been to ASU Gammage. It is a beautiful theatre and I am sure we will be going there again. We saw the last performance of Aladdin and the cast didn't disappoint! Parking is tricky especially for first time attendees. So make sure you know where you can park ahead of time. That being said, I was a wonderful performance and we are glad we went.

Went to see Wicked. We sat in the tier section row 8 center. It was too far away. The sound was sketchy and we could not get all of the words. We will pony up the extra money and get floor seats next time. Even the side seats would have been better if they were closer.

This storied performance hall has been on my list to see a show here for 30 years. Now that we are semi retired and have the time we'll be enjoying it more

Visit to gammage was really awesome experience. The international student welcome was held here and it was spectacular view with so many people. Seats, sounds, stage everything is spectacular and mesmerizing. Indian students and Chinese students gave excellent performances of their respective cultural dance forms. All flags of the various schools looked great on stage. Very spacious hall with thousands of seats both on ground and upper floor. The toilets available were also clean and good. Parking is available outside gammage. Buses for other asu campuses and orbit buses have a stop here.

Another piece of FLW, if your into his stuff... So neat and so different... inside and out... the auditorium holds all sorts of plays, and concerts and is great ......it's just a fun place to go see...

Great place to see the best and most famous plays to date! Hamilton, Book of Mormon, and more!

Bad parking! Asking to disable people to pay for parking and far away from the entrance!
AC to old ! Show was good !

So great. I cant wait to go see more here. Wicked was amazing. Already planning to see Mean girls next year!!!

The higher your seats the more possibility for vertigo. For me anyways. Still love this theater. Would absolutely go again.

Big Daddy Weave concert was great the problem was there is two upper balconies you could only see half the screen and lights on the stage were shining right in our face
The sound system isn't very good either.
I'm never going back

I we there for the Aladdin musical and I loved the expirance! Every one was kind and very helpful!

Fabulous! The production of "Hello Dolly" was great. The scenery and costumes were exceptional. Music and presentation wonderful. I so enjoyed the time being there with my daughter.

There is an elevator on the side ask about it if you need it.

Parking was so-so. The place was amazing back in the day, but is in need of a remodel. The biggest area of improvement could come with the seating. We watched a concert and the place isn't set up for this both visually and acoustically.

It was amazing show! Everything was awesome... Parking, staff, ECT... Thank you so much!!!

Sound was a little off. But we were sitting in the upper left section

Don t buy the cheaper seats at the top balcony- the stage literally feels like it is straight under you and you can barely see the backdrop of the stage. I saw Blue Man Group there. They served alcohol, but only offered to purchase before the show started, not during. There are no cup holders at the seats. Parking wasn t so bad- close spot, easy out- but we did show up later and left later. Very friendly employees.

Cool theater and quirky design. Only two stars because the bathroom situation is not very nice. It sounds like recently they added tons of women's restrooms which is great, but what about the men? To be fair the restrooms were very clean so that was nice, but I don't like feeling like cattle being led to a trough, you can literally touch your elbows with the elbows of the guys on either side of you, no dividers or privacy whatsoever and hardly any stalls. Doesn't bother a lot of people I'm sure but it's just unnecessary, put one less urinal and add some dividers or something!!

Excellent show. "The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night Time" Parking lot a bit hectic getting out.

Went and saw Wicked here, had a great time! Could see and hear everything clearly even from the 6th row of the balcony. Such a beautiful building and friendly employees.

BEAUTIFUL VENUE. Just WOW. SAT WAY BACK IN BALCONY. VIEW GOOD SOUND GOOD. IF U ARE HARD OF HEARING THERE ARE COMPLIMENTARY HEADSETS THAT WILL ENHANCE THE EXPERIENCE. PARKING LOT EXIT WAS GOOD AS WELL.

Love Gammage. We saw The Waitress which was funny, clever and entertaining

Always have great seats. They updated the women's restrooms so that makes it very convenient.

Recently attended ASU Gammage Beyond series presentation of "Aging Magician" at Galvin Play House. A friend and myself walked over from his nearby home. The play was awesome and I loved the surrounding ambiance of the whole area. Great place to spend a nice evening! Must visit for art afficionados. Designed by internationally renowned architect, Frank Lyod Wright.

Always a great time. Gammage always brings in high quality shows. After the remodel, the lines to the restroom are much shorter. A much needed renovation to the amenities. Go see a show here.

I like how Broadway shows and college recitals can both be seen here.

Very nice theater. This was my first time there, and was very impressed with staff and their willingness to assist.

Great place to see a play, but needs to upgrade restrooms!!!

I will definitely be returning for more theater productions. My daughter and I drove down from the hill, to see Wicked and it was a pleasure to get to watch this amazing show. The company and the rest of the staff were exceptionally helpful and fantastic performance.

"Wicked" Fantastic! Do not miss it
The Gammage is a great venue for it

My experience is;
Was given Gammage dinner and show package for a special birthday.
Was called out of the country and didn't notice a expiration date on the tickets. Upon my return home I tried to make reservations and told tough luck. I tried getting thru to someone and 45 minutes later I was able to talk to someone in the front office She told me no problem that she gave me two names of someone who would call me. They never did. So $300.00 worth of tickets and dinner are down the drain. Over a hour on the phone wasted. 81 yrs old and retired U S Air Force. Not a good experience. If anyone of importance reads this a wants to help call me. My number is listed.

Love as always this never anything less than a Platinum Experience

So far we have had drinks and snacks waiting for doors to show to open. But the food & drink area is air conditioned so we are good.

This facility is a disaster to get in and out of but performances are usually good. Sound system has been improved. Also handcap access is a joke.

Always a great venue for Broadway shows like Wicked! Wonderful production!

I don t know if you wanna play is a good game but it is really fun to play it and then play the same thing you get the time you need a little time playing game or play games like this I can just send them a few days and it is just finished up the next game but it s so epic it just keeps crashing when I m playing

Love this place, parking is a breeze. We're on the lower floor level under the balcony which might have effected the sound a bit. However, still was a great show and will go again.

My first time being here. I'm a bigger guy so, my height wasn't an issue for people behind me and the seats were comfy. Everything else was great.
