Clemens Center for the Performing Arts Reviews

I am a professional musician and I perform there every year it is a beautiful Theatre and a the famous acts perform there .Prices vary for admission

Impressive for a small town theatre. Saw "Chicago" great performance.

Historic auditorium restored. Features live shows.

We are so lucky to have a venue that can provide first class shows.

Beautiful, clean, huge! Great for my daughters dance recital!

I always have a blast going to a play at the clemens center!

Great theatre, and even more amazing shows for every age group.

My niece performs here every year so thankful for the Clemens Center!

Elmira is blessed to have this excellent venue for theater. The best performing arts space within an hour's drive, at least.

It's a wonderful theatre with friendly and accommodating staff.

Phenomenal Christmas concert this evening, this place is BEAUTIFUL!

Beautiful old yet modern opera style house. Has balcanies and comfy seats. The sound is amazing and it is handicap accessible. If u get a chance go.

Incredible decor and acoustics, we saw Garrison Keillor and his voice filled the room, even up to the highest seats where we were. A wonderful place for a special event.

Great entertainment for the family and first date's

Environment and courtesy was outstanding and the show Step Afrika was amazing!

what a performance same show you would see in new york city but hear in elmira what a show

We loved our time at the Clemens Center the other evening for Disney Junior Christmas. A little frustrating/congested that they only had two people scanning tickets to get into the theater. Would like an option for using a card for concessions and more concerts! When I was a child I remember lots of country concerts there and wish that still happened!

Very professional atmosphere, finger lakes orchestra was awesome! Most people wear casual. They said you can wear what you like.

Rudolph Christmas Special was very well done, kids loved it, entranced the whole show

Very comfortable venue. Would gladly return to see another show. Saddam Trent, The Illusionist and was very pleased.

An interesting theatre with only one set of doors for everyone to enter & exit... no changing table in the bathroom when they host kid shows (mind boggling) and wasthe only food was snacky stuff...
Most definitely has room for improvement.
However it wasn't too big which is a plus and we were able to see well from the back. Friendly staff.

Local..terrific talent..variety of plays entertainment..

Elmira downtown? Watch where you drive in Elmira, police have God complex! Watch where you walk, don't let a discarded hypodermic needle stick you in the foot!

I have been to several shows here over the years in different rooms and they have so much to offer the Twin Tiers! It is clean, and spacious -I am not afraid to use the bathroom.
I do wish that they had more food/snack options that were healthier and gluten free; however, I realize that is a tall order.
We are so lucky to have this gem in Elmira and I look forward to each visit whether that is for comedy club, orchestra, plays, etc.

My daughter and myself went and seen Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer Musical for the first time and we loved it! The ushers helped us to our seats and was so friendly! Will be going back for sure!

Enjoyed the play but the employees are miserable people

Was there last night for a great concert. Love the beautiful Clemens Center. One of the best things in Elmira.

Went to see Chicago there. It was an awesome show, and the building is beautiful. Kinda reminds me of the opera house in Phantom of the Opera.

For those of you who think that only NYC has good Broadway shows, you are wrong! With the talent that we have today, fantastic stage settings, and quality lighting and sound, why go out of town? Also, the Clemens Center strives for a variety of genres from children's programs, ballet, music, comedy, local talent, other dance genres, even magic and Cirque shows, there is a performance for everyone from young to old. The theater is beautifully renovated. Also, there are smaller theaters for various performances. The theater is easy to access and has convenient parking. The pricing is in line with the quality of the programming.

Saw my granddaughter in The Wizard of Oz. Was amazing! People at the Clemens Center were very helpful!

Local gem! Always have wonderful Broadway shows...the Illusionists were no exception.

I recommend clemens center to everyone. It's a beautiful place with friendly and kind staff and five star productions. Outstanding!!!!

A gorgeous, historic theater filled with the memories of when Elmira was a great city. Uplifting shows and events. Amazing volunteers and staff!

Nice local place to see a variety of entertainment. We have seen Bill Cosby and Ron White here, both great shows. Parking is cheap at the city lot nearby.

Always a great night out at the Clemens Center! The shows are top notch and the staff and volunteers are great!

Saw Late Night Catechism and it was superb! Hysterical, uplifting,and fun evening with great audience participation

Clemens is one of the hidden treasures in our area. The City of Elmira is not very good at promoting itself, and so the Clemens Center goes very under-appreciated IMO. The recent renovations made it capable of handling practically any "broadway" show or musical act. Staff and volunteers always make for a great experience. If you live in the Twin-Tiers and are not going to the Clemens Center on a regular basis -- this is the year to start !

First day of Hope Church expanding their Corning campus and spreading Hope in Elmira 8 & 10am at the Clemons center

What a wonderful venue. I went to see the USAF Band. The center was emaculate. Very friendly staff too.

Elegent. Really the only word you need. We went to see a comedy show which was rugid and laid back, yet I felt cared for and as though I was there to see an opera. The seats were great and the stage is built beautifully. The high ceilings lead to great acustics if you are going for a musical event.

Fabulous place to see live shows. Renovated theater is gorgeous. Nice selections of Broadway musicals. Ticket prices are on the high side, but the quality of shows they bring in are spot on!

Great performance! I think the venue is terrific, given the small town.

Amazing place!!! Beautiful piece of history. Fabulous theater!!!
