As a student I came here quite often for shows and…read moreevents but that was years ago I came to see the champions of magic show and fell back in love I adore how they have kept this theater up and running the decor is beautiful and the building is clean and well taken care of The bathrooms are clean and the staff are generally nice and helpful The seating is a bit outdated the chairs are awfully snug and smaller than most theaters. My friends had a hard time getting comfortable and their legs kept falling asleep The views was amazing. From any seat you could see the stage and hear everything the show itself was mind blowing In my opinion parking at MacArthur mall and walking over is the easiest but there are a few street spots and even a small parking lot across from the roper center I will be back

The acoustics did not drown out their chattering. It's not a large venue and seating is organized by zones rather than fixed seats; staff directs you to a specific row within your zone. We purchased tickets for the Candlelight Orchestra through FEVER. Apparently Zeiders rents out their space for events, so tickets for this event could only be purchased online and not directly from the venue. The venue isn't large and has stadium seating. I'm not sure if they were trying to freeze us out, but the AC was blowing full force in January. They sell snacks at the concession stand. The entrance is on the second floor, and street or garage parking is available.

Venue itself was good, catching profile of a building from the highway, nestled in its own complex with ample parking..Wish there is better signage for parking lot numbers. It's confusing when there are two sections "8", hard to find at night and numbers are hidden. Jumbo screens are large enough, acoustics was nice. Metal seats are ample sized and clean and decently comfortable. Large enough but smaller than most stadiums to retain the intimate vibe, smaller crowds seem like a much bigger draw. The only slight criticism is that you get a mixed bag of staff volunteers. Some just appear busy doing nothing to ask if they can help you, others just tell you "just go there and find someone else to help you"

Their productions are cast with a mix of New York City based Equity talent, locals & students from the Virginia Governors School for the Arts. The performing home of VMT is the Sander Center for the Arts, conveniently located at Town Center. The venue is in walking distance to numerous restaurants where you can have before or after show dinner. Perhaps their best production I've seen in my many years of attending this theater was the recently performed Jekyll & Hyde. The casting was superb. The performance was flawless. Lighting, costumes and set design were a plus. Having seen this show on Broadway a number of years ago, I was hoping for marvelous. And it was. The only thing I would have changed was the slight Pop take on the show stopping "This is the Moment." I wanted the song to climax as it did on Broadway. Should you have the opportunity to attend a Musical Theater performance by Virginia Musical Theater you will not be disappointed.

First time at this theater located on the campus of Norfolk State University. I was not expecting…read moreit to be so nice and spacious. The performing arts center is located off 460/264 and was built in 1996. Parking is off Park Avenue. There is a guard gate that is manned. On weekends no issue with parking and reserved is available. The exterior of the building is all brick and has an attractive entrance and lobby. Flowers that appear fresh planted are in front. Some debris was spotted around the grounds, however walk up clear. A good size lobby w/ a small concessions area is to the right. Restrooms are Womens to right, Men to left. I found the mens room tidy. The theater is straight back. Access to the balcony is by stairs, or elevator in front of grand staircase. The dressing rooms are ups stairs which can be a limitation depending on timing of numbers. I attended the Star Talent Dance Competition with my daughter. She was not participating and was a spectator as I. She had friends in her company Dance Space that were competing. I found the seats comfortable and the space in between roomy. The stage is large, but not as big as say Sandler Center in VB, or Ropper in Norfolk. No food, or drink is permitted in the auditorium. A great first experience at the L Wilder Performing Arts Center.

We sat in section 112 close to the floor but not on the floor sections. The staff does a good job with managing the trash cans and the crowds. There's a huge parking structure nearby. We used uber and the drop off was right next to the arena. Only complaint is that they advertise bottled water but when you get to the front of the line, no bottle water. They sold us water in a souvenir cup for $8, was this tap?

I'm from Los Angeles where art house films can be seen at art house theaters or established theaters like AMC or Regal. Naro is THE place I can count on to play awards campaign films, but they'll also have an incredible showing of Rocky Horror Picture Show :) The staff is super friendly and you can tell they love to be there - they're my kind of people who love film. Ticket prices are cheap (I usually buy them online) and food prices are reasonable. I love coming here because theaters are dying and places like this need to continue living! So please, support cinema art and watch movies at the Naro.

It was our first time attending and we were impressed with the various US military groups and from other countries like Canada, France, South Korean Army (Hoshi! ), to name a few.
