Hobby Center For The Preforming Arts Reviews

Very nice interior and the seating was also excellent. It seemed like every seat had a great view of the stage. The staff was very courteous and professional. Had a great time

We went there when my wife was using crotches for River Dance. Before we arrived we had many questions if she can make it. They were amazing; Mariela, a volunteer, picked her from the car with a wheel chair, arranged a new seat for us so she could comfortably elevate her leg. During the break Mariela came and ask if she needed anything and at the end picked her up pushed her chair and bring to our car. Absolutely the possible best experience we could have when my wife in crotches but she wanted to watch a show. Thank you so much for making this possible

Easy to get to, and a superb theatre. Love the stars in the ceiling of the main theatre.

I did not know what to expect from the musical Memphis, but it was very enjoyable. It was well acted and had several very good musical numbers.

Wonderful experience valet is free for Lexus owners. They also had free cookies and hot chocolate after the show. We saw the Nutcracker. Wonderful performance. Everything started on time. The temperature inside was nice and warm. Lovely sets and costumes. Valet was fast and efficient.

Always an awesome place to go! I took advantage of the complimentary valet parking for Lexus owners (took my husbands car) this last visit which that s a $25 savings. When I came out and stood in the long line to pick up my car, my cousin happened to notice that my car was already out front. Even past visits without taking my husbands car, I still feel that they are still awesome!

Did the VIP Experience, and it was fantastic! Wonderful performance, enjoyed the intermission snacks, valet parking, and the cast party rounded out a wonderful evening. Special shout-out to Ariette, who made our evening particularly memorable and fun!

The staff is wonderful, the location is beautiful, even if you have to sit in the Mezzanine area you can still see really good. Only thing horrible if you have a lap size toddler 2 n under (even babies) you still have to pay full price ticket for a show. (Thought a smaller price would've been a bit fair). $90 to have to sit in lap whew.

Love watching shows here but for the love of God it gets freaking hot in there!

Nice theater with friendly and professional employees. Not to mention the talented performers.

Wonderful venue to view a live performance. Friendly and helpful staff.

Chairs are not fit for bigger people. But it's clean and a really great place to experience the arts. My wife and I saw Aladdin and we really enjoyed it.

Huge place great i saw the lion king it was amazing

I love the place & the performance. Will definitely be going back soon for more expressions of Art in musical form. Ase.

They always have great shows. I just wish that the seats are more comfortable...and parking is a bit on a challenging side...

Sleeping Beauty was amazing! A must see this holiday season!

In and out during intermission for smokers. Nice staff, comfortable venue and seating. Elevators. All seating is stage visible and the auditorium is mic d

Bad seats !

Orchestra seats were not staggered; my view was completely blocked by person in front. Had to hang out of my seat to see. Will never go to this venue again unless I have front row seats. It's the only large theater I have ever been to with this problem. I've seen many shows in NY, PA, FL, DE etc.

Ragtime was a very moving story. I wasn't expecting it to be what it was.

Absolutely loved the performance " The Beauty and the beast ".

Went to see the Color Purple. Great show, and super staff. Convenient parking adjacent to building. Beautiful building.

Amazing performance , amazing venue , and amazing staff! Venue is setup perfectly and is beautiful ! Valet gets the vehicles very quickly inspite of the long line after the shows.

Always great to see live show! Arrive early for on site parking.

Anywhere that we can take in the wonders of the theatre is a great place. I was surprised to see that now there are cup holders on the armrests. Makes it more like a movie theater to me.

Very nice theatre. Always great shows and seats I've had all have had good views of the stage.

season ticket holder. always fun. started 30 minutes late today. but that's not usual

Saw Hamilton here, was very impressed by the venue. It was beautiful inside and out, I thought the lobby offered great views of downtown through the expansive glass. I was really impressed with being able to pre order drinks for intermission, just had to pay beforehand and they put them out for you at intermission, saved a good amount of time.

Saw Potted Potter, which was hilarious. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Excellent venue. Signage is on the small side. You don't know what building it is until you're right in front of it.

Seating was comfortable
Staff was helpful and knowledge
Restrooms were clean as was the facility

I have to say that I was terribly disappointed in the Hobby Center at last night's performance of The Beauty and The Beast. I planned the evening for over a year and it was to be a special night out with my adult daughters. The show was amazing but the Hobby Center was just awful! The "greeters" at the door were grumpy old women who were downright rude. The facility has nowhere near enough restrooms for the guest seating, the lines were absolutely horrendous from start to end. The concession staff were overwhelmed and never spoke a word. They just stared at us until we placed an order, filled it silently and slapped the register screen for payment. They didn't notify us that we needed covered cups to take our drinks inside the theater. What did they expect us to do with them? It seems kind of obvious, but that would have required them to speak to us. $57 for three beverages? I expect high prices, but there is a point where it just isn't reasonable. Our tickets wouldn't scan and the lady had to escort us to the ticket booth to speak with an authority and she was clearly annoyed about the task and grumbled her complaints to us excessively and rather loudly. Other guests were looking at us as if we were hurting her. The manager assisting us to clear the issue was no more personable and was truly in a foul mood. Once we settled that snafu, it took almost ten minutes of us following the concierge(s) up and down the wrong stairways to find our seats. Why have someone ushering guests who isn't familiar with the floor? Same grumpy, elderly women. We enjoyed our outing and the show was wonderful. Time with my girls is priceless, but the Hobby Center did nothing to support an enjoyable evening out. I realize that sometimes it's easy to get distracted and frustrated at work, but if you don't like your job...find one that you do!

Very nice place! I enjoy THE WIZ play. We had an awesome time!

Great shows , parking behind the theater, well kept and clean theater and restrooms.

Parking and security can be a bit of a nightmare, but they do a good job of keeping things moving. Added cup holders to the seats, definite plus

My husband and I have been visiting the Hobby Center for more than a decade and have not seen a bad performance.

Great theater horrible parking garage. I would suggest if you can park on the streets and walk over to the theater.

I love this place. The staff are very professional and helpful and its a marvelous place to see a show

The play was different but very educational and eye opening for my 16 year old son.

Front row seats, great venue and sound was awesome! Bring a jacket, it gets a little cold.

Love it here! Great experience for Phantom of the Opera

I had never been there before but once I got there I was ok. The attends were all super friendly, lots of smiling faces. I felt very save, secure and had an absolutely fabulous time!!! I'd DEFINITELY go back in a heartbeat to see another show!!!

Great facility for shows and musical events. Parking issue here, need to be addressed.

With the renovations, walking up to the facility is a lot smoother. there were uniformed officers at the crosswalks who were helping with traffic and to flag down the valet drivers who were coming around the curves pretty quickly. I'll have several more trips to the Hobby Center this year as I am a season ticket holder for TUTS! One thing to note, all major events now require you to walk through a metal detector. This was new for me, so just a heads up.

The best enjoyed a great evening people were all so nice and patient.

Nice theater for a variety of traveling shows that come to town. Expect to spend some time parking and navigating to the level that you purchased. Food and adult beverages are available pre show and during the show. The theater is well staffed and usually the ushers are very friendly.

Great shows, up class place, seats comfortable, view of shows great, sound acoustics great

Great show, it will be a while before another one. Come from Away show

Best place to get out have a drink and watch. A good show

Great place, staff is nice enough to your face....drinks and food are wholly expensive. Bring your savings for it. Chairs are a bit uncomfortable for longer viewings.

This is one of my favorite places. I feel like a kid at Christmas time. I get to go to a place of fantasy and wonderland. Always a treat when I get to go.

Beautiful views and great place. The attendants were very helpful and kind.

Great place to watch Broadway show, but plan where you park and don't eat at nearby places, both overpriced

Hobby Center is great....but the new food vendor is terrible!! Choices are unsofisticated and expensive. There at 7pm to eat and food was already cold...Costo could do better. Miss the old food choices and the desserts. New desserts are weak!

I saw Once On This Island and it was Amazing! The actors were very prepared and I got to sit on stage

Fantastic place to catch a great show and The Diana is a absolutely fantastic place to eat.

Great performance. Beautiful theater. We we're pretty high up and could still see really well.
