Hale Centre Theatre Reviews

This is hands down my favorite theatre to visit. I LOVE the centre stage, it moves about and is awesome. But the entire experience is good. It's easy to buy tickets on their website, without any stupid hidden fees, easy to pick good seats (there aren't any bad seats), they have plenty of parking right by the theatre, the people are super nice, the bathrooms are lovely, the building is pretty and clean, and the performances are spectacular. See a show on the centre stage... you will not regret it!

Very nice theater. We saw a Christmas Carol which was wonderfully performed. There are no bad seats in the house. Great way to start a new Christmas tradition.

Hale Center Theater is truly awesome! It's a world class facility, and although it doesn't have the financial magnitude of Broadway, it does tend to compete! Love going here!

It was a very professional and clean environment that allowed me to fully enjoy the show and appreciate the actors' hard work and talent!

Beautiful theater. Harkens back to the globe theater in London! Can't wait to go back to see another production here! Picture is the pre-stage for this year's production of Roger's & Hammerstein's Cinderella.

Awesome experience, up close and personal, love the setup of the round stage in center nothing like it.

Been a season ticket holder for many years. We have thoroughly enjoyed the plays. However, it seems in the last couple of years the ushers have become very rude and condescending. Remembering how the atmosphere was at the old venue... treated like family. Those days seem to be gone. Sad!

Beautiful and the theatre space is so innovative. Loved watching a show there!

The play was awesome. The searing not so good. I have long legs and it was crampt in the seat. I would go back. Because I love it. I would pick better seats.

If you have not yet experienced a theatrical performance on the large center stage at Hale, YOU MUST GO! My favorite play to watch there is The Scarlet Pimpernel !! Intrigue, humor and romance in a suspense-filled telling of the French Revolution. The chandeliers were stunning! The Carousel number was way too short. So much gorgeous set design for a 4 minute song! Most of the musical numbers sent chills through me. No performance in the valley can top it!

I was fun and the actors and actresses are really good.

I was blown away by this show and especially by this new location. It is large and very open with a fantastic stage set up. The extra features to this theater in comparison to their last theater is much nicer and really creates more of a story with the plays. Their plays are always well done, and the new theater definitely adds more character to it. I love this new location!

Love this theatre! Everyone should check this out sometime in their life.

If you order concessions ahead online you get 10% off your order.

Beautiful facility, state of the art stage and sound, reasonably priced.

I saw A Christmas Carol In the smaller Jewel Box theater. It was a fantastic performance, with humor and heartening moments that make it more than just another retelling of a Christmas Carol. I would recommend going if you can make it.

Love Hale. It's so beautiful and the shoes are always wonderful

Venue is gorgeous and the play was really well done. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening

I have always loved performances at Hale Center Theatre. This was my first time in the new building and it was both beautiful and a very well done. We watched "Wait Until Dark" and it was wonderful. Highly recommend.

A-mazing!!!! Totally worth the price and the drive!!!

It is so nice to have a good theater still around. The arena seating makes for good views. You will have a great view no matter what row you are in!

My husband and I and saw a tale of two cities this afternoon and were blown away by the cast. They did a fantastic job and wow the production value here is just amazing! The theater also did a great job at providing a safe but still enjoyable experience

Love the theater but felt the billing for the show was misleading.Did not realize there would not be even one song from Andrew Lloyd Weber's Phantom. Was looking forward to hearing the music of the night.Plus story line was not the same.So can not give the
excellent rating I would have like to.Great show but felt mislead.

This is not your usual community theater. The actors are reliably great, with impressive costumes and finely done scenery normal to see in all productions. They are very creative with the theater in the round set up.

Nice place and the plays are awesome!! Super friendly staff

We saw Cinderella, very funny and entertaining. The cast members did a fantastic job. I wish the seats were a little bigger, more room to stretch my legs.

My wife and I have season tickets to Hale Center Theater, the new theatre has excellent Sound and Lighting. Some of the plays have been better than others, but we always enjoy ourselves and have a great time. They also have a nice selection of snacks at the concessions counter

Every single play/ musical done by Hale Center theatre is impressive!

Matilda wasn't my favorite but Hale Centre always does a phenomenal job. Fantastic place to see a show. I love the capabilities they have with the stage and the theatre.

My wife and I get season tickets for our anniversary present. We love going to them and really enjoy that it forces us to go on a date with out the kids. So much better than going to the movie in my opinion. The actors do an amazing job and work really hard at putting a good show on.

We saw Scarlet Pimpernel on a Friday. This place has the most amazing stage and theater. The sound was amazing and you could easily hear when anyone was talking. It was truly amazing to see this play done so well. When the scarlet pimpernel returns I ll definitely be back!

The new building is so stunning! I have not seen a play I don't like.

Hale was great. We watched the Strictly Ballroom performance. I really enjoyed it. Even got to see Chelsie Hightower perform. Crikey, it was fun.

Wonderful theater, production was amazing. Can't wait for the next show!

What a cool building! The cafe inside is delicious!!

The shows are always top notch. Even the few shows we haven't personally enjoyed we have come away saying it was so well done even if it wasn't our style.

Great new venue with dynamic staging. All productions are very good.

Aida was amazing! The singing was emotional and powerful, the acting was spot on. They truly take you on a journey with every performance!

The talent of this place is incredible! I rarely see a show I don't like and I am always treated like I am valued.

Beautiful new theater. Saw Forever Plaid which was great! Process for tickets are a little high.

Incredible venue. The productions are fantastic and a great value. There's literally not a bad seat in the house.

The Wizard of Oz the best play I have ever seen! The special effects were amazing, and I loved that Lexi Walker was Dorothy!

The quality of the facility gets five stars. The view from most seats should be good in both the large and smaller theaters. I think the quality of the acting and singing has been good. The sound system is great too. I watched Bright Star on their smaller Jewel Box Stage and I enjoyed the production. I also watched Strictly Ballroom on their larger Center Stage. The quality of acting and music was superb but I was not entertained by this production and I did not enjoy it.

The tickets are expensive but they always do amazing on their shows.

Was there for a wedding reception. It was a good facility, although it was a bit cramped.

So cool! They added a lot of really cool features to the center stage. I already have plans to go back. The only issue I had were that the seats were too close together. I was rubbing elbows with my neighbor the whole time.

This theatre is incredible in every way, and they always produce extremely professional shows. Highly recommend.

Utterly, astonishingly fantastic! Worth every penny. I saw The Scarlet Pimpernel. We saw the same a couple years ago and had to return. No disappointment.

Saw Matilda. Such a wonderful, beautiful facility. Great quality acting. We have loved all the production's there, a couple quite surprisingly so.

The new theatre is amazing!!!! We will be headed back soon..

A beautiful theater, the stage is amazing, and they take full advantage of the capabilities for the shows.

New theater has a less personal and, but the performances are still amazing

Gorgeous facility, talented cast, sound and lighting are excellent and the best part is the sets! So clever how they change sets in the round and 3/4-round theaters. Worth every penny.

Unfortunately, HCT discriminates against a protected group of people - persons with disabilities. Extreme lack of care on the part of HCT in arranging for an ASL interpreter for my parents. When calling today to confirm the interpreter would be there for my parents this weekend, they said the previous interpreter cancelled and they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. When asked when they were going to let us know they said their employee who booked our tickets must've not made a note "or something" and therefore they weren't going to contact us. The rub is that we have called at least 3 times though to make sure an interpreter was scheduled. Each time employees had no record of the request being made and at the end of the call said they would schedule one. This isn't the first time HCT has violated ADA with regards to deaf/hard-of-hearing individuals. I know for a fact that there are qualified ASL interpreters available at the date and time of the performance and all it would take is one call from HCT to schedule one, but they refuse to do so.

I'm extremely disappointed that what is supposed to be a gathering place for the whole Utah community has chosen to be exclusionary to persons with disabilities, which violates the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The show was exceptional. The parking plaza sucks. Forty minutes to get out on the street. Big problem hope you can fix it.

Was able to see Wizard of OZ of Christmas with my wife. We both loved it. There is not a bad eat in the whole theater.

Wonderful place to visit and see live acting of dif stories

Wonderful performance! I recommend going to see Phantom the musical. Very moving, so dramatic.

We saw 'Matilda'. Super cute show! Talented cast! Wonderful scenery and design!

It was awesome! Beautiful theater. Excellent actors.

Some of the most amazing performances I have ever seen, so glad I am a season pass homder. A lot of the plays are great for the whole family. Always looking forward to the next play. On top of that I have also been to a wedding reception here, the space is a little small but looks great. Always enough parking too!

Wonderful theater. The center stage is impressive and the production is always very enjoyable

The new theater is amazing and that stage is incredible!

The productions here are fantastic! Such high quality!

You will not see a more professional production with above and beyond scenery and talent!

Phenomenal and sheer talent regarding the actors and actresses would be an understatement! The ambiance is perfection whether your out with the family, on a date or just feel like temporarily slipping into another world full of wonder and excitement! I would recommend this theatrical facility and company over all others in Utah and beyond!

Just a little back ground to put this review into perspective... the last live performance I saw was in 1996 when the Capitol Theatre hosted Cameron Mackintosh's production of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Charles Hart's musical, "The Phantom of the Opera". I was taken back even as a teenager.

Fast forward 22 years to this year's performance of "The Scarlet Pimpernel" presented by the Hale Centre Theatre. All I can say is "Wow!" For my first time back to the land of live musicals I could not have asked for a better experience. The creative use of the circular auditorium was amazing and seemed to allow all patrons the ability to enjoy the full spectacle regardless of their seat location. Props and backdrops were dropped and raised from both the ceiling and the floor in very impressive ways. The palettes of colors and lights simply blew my mind and I can only imagine how many hours went into planning and coordinating the show for this specific venue.

I definitely recommend bringing a date or a friend or family member or even a stranger from the bus because to see something so spectacular and not be able to share it someone would be a shame.

Also, special thanks to the staff that made my first time as easy and comfortable as possible. I will definitely be back to enjoy another performance

the actors were engaging and sang well. the venue is nearly grand. the stage is surprising and fun. great props.
