Koger Center for the Arts Review

Saw the nutcracker here. Loved it and will be coming back for many more Columbia City Ballet Performances and more! Looking forward to it.

Staff is rude, facilities overrated. Too many other options to waste your money here.

Exceptional ambiance and really impressive sound systems make this place a must visit.

I loved it! Saw the dual piano artists and then Philharmonic orchestra. Beautiful show. BRAVO!

I bought season tickets and will buy them again. When we had a problem with our seats for health reasons they went above and beyond to help us. All the staff is friendly and helpful and Jeannie is the best.

Took the wife to see Dracula the Ballet
I thought I was doing good by purchasing Orchestra seats in Row H seat 1 & 2, bad move on my part. Our necks were craned left all evening and also being on the end of the row meant all 50 people in that row are going to be sliding their asses across your face getting to their seats before the show and during the two intermissions, the seats were comfortable but your crammed in like sardines.
The next time I purchase tickets for a show at Koger Center I will purchase center seats.
There is a small refreshment stand offering basics such as drinks and candies,no food in the show area so serving only the basics makes sense..

The star wars themed orchestra was amazing. The director was engaged funny and so entertaining. It was an amazing and experience of a lifetime

Nice facility, just be sure you want the seats in the top balcony.

.I have enjoyed attending the wonderful musicals presented here every year.

Cool venue saw Hozier here front row right smack in the center was a great show great staff and a pleasant evening for me and my girlfriend

Inefficient direction for parking. Insufficient handicap access and seating.

Excellent venue and the people working it are great! The show Wicked was amazing!!!

My wife and I along with another couple enjoyed the play "Wicked!" The seats were tight and crowded and could have been more comfortable. But, overall, it was a good experience.

Went to Koger Center for watching orchestra performance. The parking as well the center were clean and well marked.

Seats are very uncomfortable and small. Needs to have a center isle as well.

Wicked was AMAZING. The Koger Center for the Arts is a beautiful building

This visit I took my 4-year-old to see Wicked, and it was a fabulous experience

Lovely space with a wide variety of professional productions.
Difficult parking!

If you have a chance to see Wicked, do so. Great production.

Excellent venue for musicals. Saw Wicked, and it was awesome. Bathrooms were plentiful and you can prepay for drinks to drink during the intermission. A very well organized theater!

Great place! The people that work there were very helpful. The seats are definitely made for smaller people.

For that kind of money you'd think they could afford more comfortable chairs

This is the performing art theater located in the heart of Columbia. Very updated facility and one of the premiere venues to see plays ballets and classical music productions. Parking on the street is hard to find however there is a parking garage located behind the center.

Saw the Isley Brother's concert, wonderful show. The centers seats were comfortable, had leg room. Beautiful theater.

Poorly designed for easy access. Most theaters this size have a center aisle, which makes it easier to get to your seat.

I haven't been here in Years! I came for "Wicked". The show itself was awesome and worth it!! The amenities of the Koger Center is sufficient. However the seats are a little tight. Granted, the venue is older in age so it's not readily capable of holding larger customers.

Very nice clean facility. Good acoustics, not a bad seat in the house.

Took my kids to see the nutcracker it was wonderful will be back

The Koger Center staff is knowledgeable and professional.

Great evening. USC Wind Ensemble had a wonderful experience.

Wonderful memories of plays, concerts, and dance events from many years of attendance. Never fails to bring great experiences to Columbia. So glad to have this place, we brag on it to whoever listens!

Great intimate place. Have enjoyed seeing productions here.

Great place near University of South Carolina campus in Columbia for plays, shows and events. Lots of good seats, several levels. Decent acoustics and food / beverage service. Prices better than Charlotte. Parking is NOT great but several places in short walking distance. Close to downtown hotels and restaurants.

Enjoy coming here and making the wife happy watching all of CCB's performances

When to a concert, Pebo Bryson and Stephanie Mills, great venue, the only hiccup, was that they made me wait for the tickets. They couldn't find them for more than 1 hour. Good thing that I was early.

Saw Wicked great seats, acoustics, temp., staff helpful and friendly.

I saw a cat dog show. The place was comfortable & clean. The employees were nice & helpful.

Excellent venue for Broadway like shows and saw The Book of Mormon which was hilarious.

Our view of the stage was good, even from very top rows! If you have a serious fear of heights though, it could be a problem.

Great venue overall, seats are a little tight, otherwise bright and airy.

Very entertaining. The stage appeared a little small

I've performed on the Koger Stage for 10 years. My absolute favorite place to perform.

Seemingly a full house. Show was great!! The only BAD, was the guy sitting in front of me... blocked my view 95%, and kept swaying his head back and forth, like a pendulum... FORCING me, to do the same, but in opposite direction.... Whew!!!!

Koger Center for the Arts is a theatre and fine arts center that seats (probably) 1500 to 2000 visitors. Itis the home of the excellent South Carolina Philharmonic Orchestra. Built in 1988, it is a beautiful and modern facility, with excellent harmonics, that offers a wide variety of shows throughout the year. It is convenient to downtown Columbia and suffers a somewhat difficult and costly parkong situation. Arrive early for decent parking.

They have reserved parking for staff members next to the building. The Handicap spaces are further away. For a person with a cane it is quite a bit more walking than the reserved for staff members. Poor consideration for the physically impaired.

We saw Wicked and it was amazing! Great facility and friendly staff

Great shows. Seating is old and busted. Lady near me was virtually on the floor. AA106.

We always have a terrific time when we attend events at the Koger Center. The acoustics are great and all the seats in the house are great! The staff is also very helpful!

Shame on SC for not filling up every seat for Dave Koz. Great venue for great Jazz! Can't name a favorite number they were all that good. Next time, SC don't miss out!!!

ODESA is big UKRAINIAN city and has nothing to do with Russia!!! All the stars from Odesa are UKRAINIAN stars. Please, be more careful in your information.
