Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall Reviews

Don't bother wasting your time. I went the two months ago. I filled out there forms and called in every few days. They never called me or even offers a job. I was very disappointed because they said come in to our office because we have a match for you.

I forgot we have this gem in town. This is a well maintained, classy performance hall with an abundance of shows.

The layout is pretty good except when you're sitting in a side section toward the back it's a little hard to see but overall excellent. The Steve Miller Band was fantastic! Everything was very well organized and orderly. Super enjoyable!

Every time I go to this theater I know it will be a lovely show. Easy parking, nice restrooms and you can have wine and drinks and hot sweet nuts enjoyable time every time.

Saw Lion King. Loved the show. Such talented actors in the show. Costumes and music were amazing .

Great place for performances and the staff is friendly.

Beautiful inside! "I really love your peaches wanna shake your tree"

THE PURPLE REIGN TRIBUTE BAND WAS AMAZING AND THE PEOPLE AT THE PREFORMING ARTS WERE WONDERFUL PLEASANT PEOPLE HAD A GREAT TIME WHAT A DIFFERENT SAME BAND 2 DIFFERENT VENUES BUT THIS ONE WAS AWESOME

Came to watch Jerry Seinfeld perform and rhey advertised doors would open at 08:30 pm, got there at 08:45pm for a 09:30pm show just to stand in line for over 40 minutes in the heat, all my clothes were soaked when I actually got to go into the theater...they really showed a small time mentality by not being better prepared...terrible preparation by their staff! Did I mention there was only one entrance open and it was same one for previous show to exit...unreal!

Get seats on the first floor if you want to understand vocals. The balcony is fine for music, but the Acoustics are such that the balcony is less than satisfactory to hear songs

This is a godsend in the cultural Sahara that is Fort Myers. Highly recommend following their schedule to see nationally touring Broadway shows, comedians, musicians. You never know what will pop up here.

Great place to enjoy a show.
Drinks and snacks available including adult beverages.

I was there to see the Beach Boys concert. It was fantastic. The theatre is beautiful inside and out. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lots of parking are available. ....even valet parking if you so wish. Tip....try the cinnamon roasted almond from the confectionery. Mmmm...it was definitely addictive and delicious.

The concerts are good and entertainment is excellent

Great venue. Terrific line up of musicians, musicals and more. Be smart '' Uber there as traffic can be excessive.

fantastic shows! The pricing could be a bit better and the location needs some donations to spruce it up the interior slightly. There are new flowers though so happy to see them!

Nice place to see a show. I like the interior, although it is settled on our college campus it is still just as good as one that is larger. They really protect the show and the experience that people have here. I went to see Harry Potter played along with the movie, and really appreciated the staff going around and making sure cell phones were off and people were not disturbing. They had good concessions as well.

If you are to far up in the balcony and they play something on the screen the lights block out most of the screen.

Spirit of the gulf chorus, Christmas concert, 5 stars

Lovely quaint theatre, staff was incredible and drinks were fine. Little gem in ft. Myers that has very good shows coming

Older theater, but the seats are very comfortable and everyone is super friendly!

Professional Broadway entertainment, I'm always amazed at the talent we see.

We saw the off-Broadway Cinderella and really enjoyed it. There was someone filling in for the lead that night, but she was really good too and seemed genuine. We love seeing shows here since we don't often make it to shows in Boston or NYC. The theater is pretty nice, and the sets are always good.

Great venue for concerts. Easy access and to exit.

The venue is perfect to experience a Broadway worthy play

Fabulous - the colors, the set designs, the dancing the singing. Performance was one of the best.

Saw Book of Mormon the other day great show. The theater was beautiful well kept and the staff was extremely friendly. Concessions were a bit steep but not more than expected.

We went to see The Nutcracker ballet and everything was very organize and clean. We didn't wait in long lines, and we were help quickly when a problem arise. The personnel was very amicable and helpful.
The function move along perfectly and on time. We were seated in the Mezzanie and we could see the whole ballet without any visual obstruction, the sound system was on point which allow us to enjoy every dance along with the music.
Overall, we love our experince!

Great seats, terrible parking lot. A one lane bottleneck for everyone trying to exit. Open exit to College Pkwy to reduce backup.

Saw Hamilton....wonderful show, loved the music....

Having seen Jersey Boys and Cats on Broadway (we have lived in NJ forever and have been Broadway, NJ, and Phila theater regulars since the '60's) we always enjoy the "road" show performances of shows we have seen.
The performers were good but the overall enjoyment factor is way down due to the woefully inadequate sound system at Mann. The theater itself was comfortable and modern so I dont understand how a sound system could be so poor, especially when considering the theater is within a college campus. I do intend to communicate directly BB Mann regarding their sound system which I hope will improve by next year.

Went to see fluffy. Absolutely loved the show. Good security at front gate. Parking is a little walk. They can add couple more restrooms. Not enough for the amount of people that come to the major events.

Went to see The Nutcracker and it was great venue for it. Staff was awesome and very helpful.

Elvis show was very good but his dancers were not profesional.

Great performance of Showboat by Broadway Palm and SW Florida (Ft Myers) Symphony Orchestra at Barbara Mann. Very professional and better than most musicals by traveling companies from NYC. Great acting, singing and outstanding dancing.

Sound is terrible. Tried twice. Way too high prices for something you can't hear. No way. Broadway palm has great talent and a meal too. Don't waste your money here.

Wonderful space for presentations-- very intimate audience but a larger than life stage.

Just be careful in regards to your wife's purse. They now have a size limit of 12" x 6". If it doesn't fit you must take I back to your car.

Great fun. Good seating view in row S left side. Nice clean facility. Surprised they let alcohol in the seating area.

Excellent sound quality and there's really not a bad seat in the house. Also, those cinnamon almonds are delicious! Great venue!

Great performance (Spamalot) and good customer service.

I always have a great experience here. It's my happy place

Lion King was great! Even though we had seats in the rear of the balcony show was still spectacular! Couldn't afford better seats so we were pleasantly surprised that the seats we could afford were better than we thought they would be. No bad seats! Production was terrific!

Melanie and Peggy brought me here for my birthday to see The Lion King. What a great show and I loved the Theater. It has so much style and class.
