    Step Afrika! Stage
    Dee C.

    @YelpPhoenix, @ASUGammage, @stepafrika! On the heels of a beautiful MLK Jr Day was Step Afrika! Pride. Proud. Overwhelmed. It's how I feel whenever my story, our story is given a voice, a platform, a stage. From the first strike of the drum to the final bow, I was spellbound. Through dance, song, and art, Step Afrika! put Jacob Lawrence's Migration Series front and center while using movements historically seen in Africa and perform by African American Fraternities and Sororities. Step Afrika! was founded in 1994 by C. Brian Williams and is the leading authority on the art form of stepping and one of the top 10 African American Dance Companies in the US.

    Have not been to Gammage for many years. Received two tickets to see the Musical Shucked for a Saturday afternoon performance. I knew parking was going to be a challenge. Parked on the street a mile away after dining in a Restaurant and caught an Uber, that worked out very well. Went through Security and was impressed with the number of people there to help you figure out where to go. The seats we got were in tier 2 in the last row and the acoustics were great. Show was excellent. There were over 60 seats in Row 8. Even seats are on one side and odd numbered seats were on the other side. Figured that out after a few tries. I remember when Gammage was first built and surprised the Yelp ratings are mediocre. This venue is one of the best as is the architectural design.

    I've been to ASU Gammage twice. Once was for a performance of Life of Pi and the other was for a live screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show during their 50th anniversary. When it comes to venues, there are a few things I look for: 1) Parking: ASU Gammage is located on Arizona State's campus in Tempe. Unfortunately, they only offer paid parking. And parking on the street is notoriously hard to come by in Tempe. You can find a spot for free, but you're likely going to be walking for 15 minutes or so. Which is what I do as I like to get my steps in and I'm allergic to paid parking. 2) The Venue: Some good and bad here. First, the good. This theater was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the most prominent U.S. architect. I'm a big FLW fan and I've seen his properties in cities across the country. FLW's trademarks, namely how light enters the building and how he creates space, is seen here. The creativity is awesome if you look hard enough. Case in point: he designed the theater in such a way that if you're on the second level, you can exit easily after the show by using an exit that takes you down a bridge. At other venues, you're stuck in a human traffic jam. Not here. And you'll also see some beautifully designed lights on the bridge. The downside? The seats are pretty uncomfortable. 3) The Views: ASU Gammage is a pretty big theater. I've sat on the second level both times, and while the view isn't bad, you are a little far away. I prefer a more intimate venue, but on the flip side, given Gammage's scale, they bring a lot of Broadway shows here. So the selection is going to be quality. While I haven't had any food or drinks while I've attended a show, they have your usual assortment of beverages and snacks. As the self-appointed king of the arts in Phoenix, I'll be back soon!

    I've seen many shows at Gammage, from row 12 in the center to way in the back of the balcony on the side. It's gigantic, housing a ton of people. What I've learned: where you sit really matters get there 20 minutes early for parking there will be traffic bring a sweater, it's cold in there! you will walk, so don't go crazy on heels if you didn't pay for VIP parking They have some great shows come through, and it's a pretty building. They have snacks and drinks at movie theater prices. All in all, solid but not astounding.

    First time seeing a production at Gammage. Orchestra B row 23 seats 48/50. Great view. Sound booth behind us, roomy seats, close to isle for easy exit to bathroom and concessions.

    Stage from the upper balcony maybe

    We absolutely loved the show Shucked!!! However, the acoustics in the upper balcony are really poor and many people in the audience were complaining that they couldn't hear the vocals in the play. It seemed that there were no speakers projecting to the upper balcony maybe? I'm not sure, but it was very difficult to hear. However, I'm sure that if you're on a lower level the sound would probably be better.

    ASU Gammage Moulin Rouge was PHENOMENAL.GREAT performers & FIRST CLASS performance.Parking was easy, in & out, thanks to the VIP pass I had. We had great comfortable seats & the theater staff were kind & friendly. Definitely looking forward to the next show :)

    We came to watch a special Christmas Mannheim Steamroller show. We had tickets on the second level. The sound of the instruments was fantastic and our viewing of the show was great. What a joy this was! The Mannheim Steamroller band was fantastic and brought back so many childhood memories for me. There were plenty of concession stands at the auditorium to purchase drinks and snacks. They were quick . We had a phenomenal time at the show and I would most definitely come back here. The Gold parking lot we paid for was already full by the time we got there. It did take us an extra 10 or 15 minutes to park so if you're going to a busy show, please allow yourself some extra time. They do have a bag policy as well so please look at the instructions before going to a show. What a great night ! This show put me in a holiday festive spirit and I would definitely come back to see the show again.

    I had tickets to see a show courtesy of Yelp Phoenix. (Shoutout Yelp Phoenix) I was not able to confirm if I could take pics so I just decided against it so I wouldn't get warned or kicked out. The show was ok but the theater was really nice. The only thing that sucks is 1. No one answers the phone when you call the box office even if it's open. The voicemail lists the hours and the phone still just hangs up after that message. 2. Although it should have been clear, I could not determine if parking was free or paid. Hence me trying to call the box office to find out. Which , was unsuccessful. The staff or volunteers rather, were very nice. Everyone was friendly and able to answer my questions once I was there as it was not easily made where to go to see the show for a first timer such as myself. Anyway, if they can fix the phone thing , it would be easier for those who look to the website for answers and still have questions that needs to be answered.

    I like Gammage for their selection of current Broadway touring companies. I appreciate the latest major renovation that added improved bathroom facilities. However, I had hoped for an improvement when it came to the acoustics. For example Girl from the North Country and Jesus Christ Superstar I sat on the main floor and the middle of the first balcony respectfully. I had a very difficult time understanding the words and lyrics sung by the performers. I don't know if it's the acoustical setup of the traveling show or if it's an issue with the acoustics of the performance Center. I was able to hear Wicked with fairly good clarity all three times I saw the performance at Gammage. Be forewarned, unless you know the songs by heart, be prepared to be frustrated at times to understand what words are being sung.

    Great college theatre venue! Has a lot of good shows however the sound quality can sometimes be an issue. Overall great experience. Affordable show prices. The upper balcony might be a little high for most and not the best visibility. Life of Pi was the show I saw and it was great!

    Christopher J.

    The parking wasn't a big deal and/or chaos leaving. The concessions were fairly priced, the bathrooms clean. I almost had vertigo getting to my seat in the balcony, but after the show started I was fine. And the sound/viewing from up there was good. Worth the experience!

    I've had the pleasure of seeing many productions at ASU Gammage. Nice temperatures inside the theater. Snacks and beverages are available. Make sure you read the bag policy or tote a clear bag. Upfront, accessible, and garage parking avaliable.

    How cool is the theater's temperature?

    It's not freezing at all. Feels like the low to mid 70s. I've worn sleeveless dresses each time and I was just fine.

    How is this theater compared to others such as The Wang Center in Boston? Anyone out there been to both? Are the shows of the same quality?

    I personally wouldn't compare the two theaters. One the cost in Boston versus the cost to Arizona is totally different. I am too, I think the quality are different, only because Gammage shows variety shows just like The Wang. I believe you should go…

I still enjoyed my time each time even though we were probably the youngest as someone got my husband and I tickets here for my birthday the past two years. The music was fantastic and we saw the variety show and the Grand Finale show and I enjoyed seeing multiple genres of music. The lead singers and musicians were phenomenal, and I absolutely loved the costume changes. The outfit changes really held my attention and was a great part of the show. The food, however, was just okay. I wouldn't come here for the food alone, but rather for the overall experience and to do something different. The meal included vegetables, potatoes, mashed potatoes, spinach cheese ravioli, chicken Parmesan, pulled pork dish, and a pineapple fish dish. This was the same food both times we went, so I'm not sure if they ever change it, I wish they did for a change. The pulled pork and cheese ravioli were good, but I wasn't a fan of the other dishes. The chicken Parmesan was probably the worst I've had as it wasn't at all what I expected from a traditional chicken parm. Dessert is a slice of chocolate cake that's already at your table when you arrive. I did think it was a nice touch that they pass out foil before the show ends so you can take it home and not waste it. The recommended tip listed on a sign at the table is $5 per person, so in addition to your ticket price, expect to pay at least that much extra. Drinks are also not included, so that's another added cost. Overall, this is a great experience, more so for 50+ and would make a fun gift, especially for a couple looking to do something different. I wish they had a family friendly show where it encouraged families with kids as I could see my kids who love music at 2 and 4 enjoying the show and dancing! I sat about in the middle of the theater and had a good view of everything. I really think most seats will be just fine!

There's a variety of food and it was all delicious. There's a few different proteins, this night was swiss cheese chicken, pulled pork, and beef stroganoff. The was roasted red potatoes and garlic mashed potatoes with gravy. And sides that included suateed vegetables and cheese raviolis , dinner rolls and butter. There was also a salad bar, but after a little bit of everything previously mentioned I was way too full. Had to save room for the chocolate cake. Then came the show. I never saw Elvis when he was alive, so I was excited to see this show. The guy does a great Elvis impersonation, taking you from the 60s Elvis, advancing to the Vegas Elvis era. And, since "and Friends", other folks in the crew did tributes to act like Bobby Darrin, Nancy Sinatra, Tony Orlando, Barbera Streisand, Melissa Manchester, etc. All people Elvis worked with to some level in his lifetime. Interspersed, was information about Elvis, the things he did for people, and discussions of the songs he sang. It was informative and very entertaining. The whole crew were incredibly talented at both singing and playing their instruments. The Silver Star also offers other variety shows, like a Country Music one, classic radio music one and a couple others. I had never been to a dinner theater before and really enjoyed it. If you're looking for something to do for a full evening or maybe have people visiting and looking for something to do, you should totally go!

We even dressed up a bit to match the vibe, and I have to give credit where it's due--the DJ was bringing nothing but heaters all night. The music was easily the highlight. The bar, on the other hand, was pretty underwhelming. My wife ordered a Tequila Sunrise that was unfortunately awful, while I played it safe with a bottled Coors. The drink selection felt limited, and the bartenders seemed fairly inexperienced. The turnout was respectable, and there was good energy throughout the night. That said, something about the overall atmosphere felt...off. Maybe Hollywood has completely skewed my expectations of what a rave is supposed to feel like, or maybe it was simply the smaller venue. Either way, I walked away expecting just a little more. Even so, the night accomplished one important thing: it convinced my wife that she'd like to go to more raves. I'd call that a win.

When the weather is nice, I personally prefer the outdoor patio stage over the larger indoor club area upstairs. The smaller patio just has a real cool vibe. I've been there for Sunday daytime brunch parties and the late night shows ending at 2am. Both are fun. Service is generally just okay, the bartenders aren't overly friendly but they aren't mean either. The security people can be a little rude depending on which ones you're interacting with. Again, not bad, I just know there are other places in the valley with friendlier staff. For a real treat, go when they have Sunday brunch bottles & beats-- catch Nathan Reeser & Andrew Hoffman making it dance-y.

We went to the 6:45 tournament on a Saturday night for my nephews birthday, and from the second I walked into the castle, the energy was buzzing. Palpable. The wenches and barkeeps were singing, chanting and yelling. Children were running around. Birthday parties were everywhere. Young adults were drinking and carrying on. Some folks had even come dressed for the medieval occasion. But every man, woman and child in that castle had one thing in common: we were ready for the tournament. While we waited in the great hall, the people drank. They sang. They took photographs. They were merry. Frankly, it felt less like waiting for a dinner show and more like the whole kingdom had gathered because somebody was about to get their ass jousted. Then the doors opened. Into the arena we went, where we were greeted with excellent service. And I have to give Medieval Times credit for authenticity because some of these servers looked a little too much like they actually came from the medieval era. But friendly? As can be. And the drinks kept flowing. The Pepsi was heavy and sweet. The lemonade was tart, sweet and heavy. The tomato soup was, frankly, quite disgusting. But this ain't a food review. The Texas toast was excellent because nothing beats Texas toast, and the half chicken was moist with good flavor on the skin. Not quite crispy, but perfectly respectable. Besides, the feast is secondary. The action, my LIEGGAS. THE ACTION. Jousting. Sword fighting. Horses. Knights talking reckless to one another. The crowd screaming like we had personally pledged fealty to these men. Our section belonged to the Yellow Knight, so naturally we rode with Yellow. Or at least I did initially. At one point, the Yellow Knight, a rather swarthy-looking gentleman who had apparently grown entirely too comfortable with his station in the kingdom, began throwing roses toward our section. One of those roses went to my wife. Now. I cannot prove that the Yellow Knight specifically selected my wife. I cannot prove that there was intent behind the throw. I cannot prove that this man looked across that arena, saw another man's wife and decided that chivalry demanded he shoot his shot. But I know what I saw. And quite frankly, it upset me for the remainder of the tournament. I had been cheering for this man. Yelling for this man. Pledging my temporary allegiance to this man. And this medieval SOB repaid my loyalty by throwing a rose at my wife. Sir, have you no honor? Nevertheless, my nephew had a wonderful birthday, our entire party had a fantastic time, the atmosphere was electric, the service was excellent, and the tournament was far more entertaining than I expected and I had high hopes.

The service throughout the evening was great. It started with a selection of soft drinks, followed by garlic bread, tomato-based soup, a quarter chicken, potatoes, and corn. Another server came by to take our adult drink orders, and there was a fun variety of souvenir cups available to take home. The show itself was very impressive, featuring dramatic lighting, storytelling, acrobatics, exciting dueling stunts, and a beautiful flying falcon display. I absolutely loved seeing the elaborate costumes worn by the guests and all the festive accessories that added to the atmosphere. Dessert included a piece of cake and a Boston cream pastry. Unfortunately, I was already way too full to really enjoy dessert, but I'll plan better next time! Our photos we took at the beginning of evening were brought to our seats before end of show, which was a nice touch. After the show, there were plenty of photo-op areas to take advantage of. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend Medieval Times for couples, celebrations, or anyone looking to get out and do something fun and different. It was a memorable experience, and we'd happily go again!
