It was a perfect night. The inside was very small there was not any seat to sit and enjoy a glass of wine before going in even though you can take it in with you. The inside eateries was nice but again it was very small to actually sit. I enjoyed my show and would go there again because of the small theater atmosphere. I did not felt like I was thrown in a theater with thousands of people and have to squint my eye to see who's on stage. I can't wait to take my girls to see a show. It remind me of house of blues, where you feel like you are one with the people on stage. Thanks for the tip about parking, you can park at the Sheraton and all around. read more

I have lived in Orlando since 2006, and going to this place was a first for me. Overall I enjoyed the atmosphere of this place, although it would be nice if the place was overall larger and had organization of parking. I attended 'The Lion King' musical last weekend and I was impressed with the overall production. The acoustics/visual was great and I enjoyed every moment there. At first I was a little bit worried since I had never been there before and was not aware of the layout, since the seating arrangement was showing a lack of aisles near the center. The prices for the drinks seemed a bit steep ($8-$10) for the beer and $10+ for any sort of cocktails. I can understand that this place has to keep its uppity presence, but having prices like that was a bit too steep for me. I would recommend going to this place again, especially if there is a new play coming into town. read more

Went here for the Orlando Philharmonic Holiday Show. No problem with parking in the garage across the street or picking up the tickets from will call. The problem came when we got to our seats. We had purchased these tickets over the summer knowing my mom was coming into town to visit. We were a large group, 7 total. We get to our seats and there are people sitting there. When we compare tickets we have the correct seats and so do they. These were good seats, centered on the stage. An usher comes to assist and since the other people were sitting first, they provided us with a new row of seats...further back and with a much worse view. Eventually we were placed in better seating but I just don't understand how the seats were double ticketed in the first place. IT seems to be common problem based on how the usher reacted and spoke to others about it. We ended up missing a couple of songs because of the issue. They handled it just fine, but I would not have been happy with the original seats they were going to provide us and if someone in our party hadn't complained more I do not believe they would have provided the better seats that we were eventually given. The place is very cute though and I appreciate its vintage vibe. I especially love the look of the bar. They just need to fix their ticketing system. read more

Bob Carr is a great venue in the hear of Orlando. It has the feel of a much larger Broadway theater in a smaller building. Parking is a bit of a hassle, but its worth the trouble to catch the top notch quality shows. My only real gripe is that there isn't a center walkway. So if you have great center theater seats, be prepared to make your way across a ton of people to get out at intermission or should you need to exit for any other reason. BTW, Young Frankenstein is absolutely hilarious. I would highly recommend it! read more

I have been coming to Bob Carr for about 8 years now. My wife got me interested in Broadway shows and this is the main place in Orlando for ones that tour the country. Although, there are some community theaters in the area with performances just as good, for a fraction of the price! Here's the cons first: As other reviewers have mentioned, Bob Carr is old and in need of renovations. It's not falling apart, but parts of it have an old smell and look. For example, the men's bathroom has a smell of stale urine embedded into it's walls. And sometimes their sound system can be a little off. I always get Orchestra level seats, but I've heard from friends that you can hardly hear from the balcony seats. I can't wait for the new Performing Arts venue to finish, but at the same time, I'll be sad if Bob Carr goes away, despite my grievousness. And the pros: We get Broadway shows in Orlando for almost half the price of the same NYC shows. $60 to $120+ dollars, compared to $120 to $200+ in NY. Some of my favorite Broadway shows I've seen here are Wicked (2x's), Spring Awakening and most recently Mama Mia. They are always top notched performances. Outside of Broadway shows, I think I've only seen the Nutcracker during the holidays. They also have a season of Opera and Ballet I haven't had the chance to see yet, but would like too. My wife and I have done the seasonal passes a few times, which includes a package of about 6 shows from the Fall into the Spring. Usually we only want to see a couple of the shows, and hope the other lesser known ones are OK, which sometimes they are and sometimes they aren't. For the seasonal passes, you always sit in the same seats for each show and usually next to the same people (which could be good or bad). Our package includes parking too. I don't know about the other level packages, which depend on the type of seats you want and shows you can mix and match from. Again, I wouldn't suggest the balcony, even though I've never sat there. The ushers are mostly retiree age, and very friendly and helpful, and will sometimes joke around with you with some dry humor. They have some snacks and a standard full liquor bar. Recently they added a Margarita bar and southern cooking selections. Plus merchandise for the play you're seeing. read more

I just love the Bob Carr and the wonderful experience I always have here. Currently, we are here for the yo gabba gabba live! There were many activities before the show and during the show I was able to go get a drink if I wanted to :). I also come here annually with my students to see the young people philharmonic symphony. Whatever event is being held here it is always so pleasant. No matter where your seats are they always feel like the best seats in the house. read more

Took the two year old to a Yo Gabba Gabba concert here last week. The concert was great, but the venue was lacking. It seriously needs a makeover, otherwise it won't attract like nearby, cooler venues do. read more

Bob Carr gets a lot of flack for a lot of reasons, some warrented, some not. The charming historical building has been the home to the Orlando Performing Arts Scene for decades, and there are very few "bad" seats in the house. Sure the acoustics may not be the best, but thats what microphones and sound boards are for. Also easy in and out traffic access. read more

I feel like I'm echoing statements that have already been said. The Bob Carr is pretty good, but not great. Parking can be unnecessarily expensive, not to mention a bit of a mess, and it's not in the nicest area of town. I've seen the Lion King here (which was spectacular!) and last night I went to the Red Chair Affair (thanks for the tickets, Yelp!). The acoustics are eh, not bad but not that great either. The layout is really odd with super long rows but not many aisles. I find that weird. I feel like I recall there being more aisles open for the Lion King performance than there were for the Red Chair Affair. Anyways, I wish Orlando took its arts scene (as a whole) more seriously. I think that there's a large disadvantage in living in the shadow of the mouse because all the local movements are trying to compete with the world-class entertainment at Disney and all those places, but I have hope that Orlando's local scene will grow and that, as a result, we'll have a new arts center on the way with a better layout, better location, better acoustics, and more accessibility, but that still retains its Orlando vibe. read more

Giving this two stars is in no way a reflection of the performances I've seen here. But the acoustics are terrible -- even the audio from professional, touring shows can be muddy and hard to understand. Public spaces are cramped, and the restrooms are completely inadequate for the size of the house. With no central aisles, you can almost guarantee that the last people to arrive will have to cross in front of virtually everyone to reach their seats. Plus, driving access to and from I-4 can be dicey. With all that, given the opportunity I will always drive the extra 15 minutes or so to Tampa's performing arts center to see a show. It is everything the Orlando center isn't (and as a plus, Tampa's center as their own online box office that doesn't use TicketMaster -- at least, that's a plus in my book). Now, I've seen some great shows at the Bob Carr. I just know I'd have enjoyed the experiences even more in a quality arts center (oh, sorry: "Centre"). Thank goodness they're building a new performing arts hall. This one is terribly inadequate for a city the size of Orlando. read more

There's a special place in my heart for the Bob Carr. I've been going there to see shows since I was a little girl. It was a tight squeeze then, even after they added the atrium addition. Never enough bathrooms, and no middle isle. It's design has long been outdated, however I'll miss it when the new performing arts center is completed. Many happy memories and many many great performances! read more

See all

Let me start by saying the performance of Wicked was absolutely 100% awesome!! Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre, on the other hand, had some issues. First, we were told by the staff that it was highly recommended that we purchase prepaid parking from ticketmaster before arriving at the event...which we did ($16.05). When we arrived at the "prepaid" lot, people were paying cash and parking there for $8.00 on the day of the event. I think the logic is a little messed up. Aren't you supposed to pay more on the day of the event....not when you prepay. This to me was upsetting..we were coming from out of town and weren't as familiar with parking at this theater and the way I see it..we were taken advantage of by the Bob Carr Staff and ticketmaster. So when going to Bob Carr auditorium for a performance...DON'T PRE-PAY FOR PARKING!! It is a SCAM!!! Secondly, the women's restrooms in the balcony barely worked and the water fountains wouldn't work there either because there was a problem with the water pressure. Fun, Fun!! Again..the performance was wonderful...We had a great time but if I had my choice I would drive to the Straz Center in Tampa!! read more

I've been a theatre subscriber for many years in several different cities. My husband and I recently moved to Orlando, so we purchased a season subscription for the Broadway Series at the Bob Carr. The sound is adequate. Not great by any stretch, but okay. We recently had a horrible experience and I hope the rest of the season isn't like this experience: On Friday, November 1st, we saw Book of Mormon and I could not believe what the theatre staff let the audience get away with. First, about 20 people both beside us and in front of us were late and were seated right in the middle of the first number. This would not have normally bothered me, but they each had a bar drink in hand. That tells me they were all sitting at the bar and took their time getting to their seats. They stumbled over people, spilling their drinks along the way, interrupting the first number and disturbing all persons sitting in the vicinity. Then, after the intermission, they did the same damn thing! The ushers allowed them into the theater during the first number of the second act (again with bar drinks in hand). There were people sitting around us eating nachos and drinking beer out of bottles. This is the theatre not a baseball game. I have never been to a live theatre that allowed people to bring food to their seats. It's disrespectful to the actors on stage and to the people sitting around the person chomping down on nachos and cheese. If that wasn't bad enough, people kept kicking over beer bottles during the production. Bottles were clanging all around us. Ladies wear expensive shoes and bring expensive handbags to the theatre. Now, we have to worry about someone kicking over a beer bottle on our nice handbag. I certainly hope the theatre makes some changes, or this will be the first and last time that I buy a season subscription. read more

The opening of the 2010 Orlando Philharmonic was my first time in the Bob Carr Performing Arts Theatre. My husband and I were really excited to hear a classical performance but were very disappointed when we arrived. We have orchestra seats in a supposedly good section. The accoustics can be improved on and the overall seating layout is terrible. There is no center aisle and 50 people literally have to climb over you to get to their seat if you are sitting on the end. I am glad we did have end seats, I think it would have been too uncomfortable in the interior. We are spoiled and have heard concerts in many major cities in real orchestra concert halls and are hoping they will build a new venue soon. We bought season tickets so we will see how the rest of the season goes. Mr. Wilkins was a superb conductor however, the orchestra just did not have that rich special tone of a professional orchestra. The soloists were fair to good at best. I was anxiously awaiting the review and even that was lack luster. It concentrated on the operational aspects of the orchestra and not their acutual performance except for noting that Mr. Wilkins performed the entire Resurrection without notes! There is no intermission in this piece, so they did perform a long concert without a break. I enjoyed the echo and call of the horns in the distance as well as some other good highlights of the evening. But on a positive note, atleast Orlando has an orchestra, so many have gone into bankrupcy and the community has a great loss when it does not support the the cultural arts. However, I am looking forward to the next performance because hearing music live can not be substitued, no matter how good your speakers are. If you enjoy classical music, support your orchestra, especially if want them to be there next year. read more

I have been a season subscriber for at least two years now and attended shows on seasons were were not members. I think I have a pretty good picture of Bob Carr - which will be no more for traveling Broadway musicals after the next couple months. The Good: - Most shows are pretty decent. Good acting and great singing. - Facilities are clean. - Staff is pretty helpful and friendly - Alcohol is allowed in theater The Bad - Not enough bathrooms - Shows are pricey, especially if you have a big family you want to bring - Sound system can be bad at times, especially for those on the balcony - Snacks are allowed in theater. Which means that you may have someone with noisy candy behind you who struggles to open it for 10 minutes of the show you are trying to watch - Alcohol is limited to a few choices - No middle aisle. Thank goodness the new performing arts center has a middle aisle. - Some dude decides he is so important that he gets to leave AND come back to his seat in the middle of the theater during the show while the rest of us wait patiently until intermission. - You may have bigots behind you all season and you will not be able to avoid their bigoted conversations prior to the show and during intermission (unless you show up super late to avoid their conversations). True story - I gave my aunt tickets for a show we had to miss and she said the bigots talked the whole musical about how they wanted to sleep with the lead female. Gross. - You may have season tickets next to a person who laughs inappropriately and grabs his crouch throughout the show. It is very distracting. My husband and I had to take turns each show who got to sit next to the crouch grabber. TRUE STORY. - Lastly people talk during the shows. Most shows this season were full of talkers. WTF is wrong with people? You are paying a good amount of money for the show - watch it and don't mess it up for others. I have been highly anticipating the new performance arts center with its new shiney facilities, great sound, breathtaking shows. The only problem is that it will still be a Central Florida audience. I don't think I will renew my season tickets next season but I will at least give it a chance. Orlando people please don't disappoint me again. read more

I don't see how anyone could not like the Bob Carr, for any type of performance. I have visited at least half a dozen times, for different events, and had a great experience every time. The staff is so helpful getting you to your seats, once seated you are immediately comfortable, and no matter where the comfortable seat is you have a great view of the stage! read more

I have several issues with the Bob Carr Performing Arts Center. But it's pretty much the only one in Orlando, and it's not horrible, so in a way, I have to give it some credit. If not for its mediocre existence, we wouldn't be able to enjoy ballets, musicals, operas, orchestras, and other cultural junk, i mean, milestones. First of all, like others have said, parking is pricey. So you might as well come to terms with it, let it be part of the price of making yourself more cultured, and don't freak out about it. 'Cos freaking out is useless, and lowers your cultural value. Kidding. A little tip about parking (no idea why I'm revealing a deep, dark secret): I usually park in the garage behind the PAC itself, where SAK Comedy Lab used to be. It's $10, it's close to the venue, and, well, it's a garage, so your precious car will be sheltered, unless you get there late and you have to park on the top floor. Second, what is up with the lack of a center aisle? If your seat is in the 20s or 30s of the Orchestra section, you will literally have to go through some serious obstacle course of people to get to your seat. So what do you do? Get there super early and never move, or grow a shameless layer of skin and excuse yourself every single time you do. Third, size does matter. Technically, that depends, but in this case, it kinda sorta does. The stage is small, which makes bigger productions look squished. It doesn't really take away from the quality, though. It only gets annoying when you've seen these productions in bigger venues. This is an example of ignorance is bliss, I suppose. Fourth, if you're short like me, you will want to take note. The first row in the balcony is actually not the best seat for you. Pick something in the second row instead if you want to sit in the balcony (same price, slightly better view for shorter people). Why? Unless you keep yourself sitting upright and perfectly still that way, the protective bar that runs along the edge of the balcony will get in your view. In my case, it lined up with the edge of the stage so whenever I slouched ever so slightly, it cut some people's legs off. With that said, can we have the new PAC please? read more

Been to the BCPAC a couple of times...attended both Broadway shows as well as concerts. I've sat in balcony left and balcony right--balcony front and balcony back as well as the orchestra level. Gotta say, after 4-5 experiences down there I've yet to find a bad seat in the house. The ushers are friendly and not overly stuffy or pretentious. The drink prices are a bit outrageous but what do you expect? It's basically the equivalent of buying beer at a baseball game taking place in an airport. If you want some spirits to enhance your viewing pleasure, yer gonna pay for it. I reckon buying a drink or two here is still better than going to the Sheraton next door though. I've made the mistake of doing that in the past. Now THOSE prices are outrageous...steer clear. However, if you get to the show early you CAN find free parking just behind the hotel on the street in front of the soap factory. There are maybe 8-10 spots total--I've been lucky the last three trips down. So the Sheraton isn't all hisses. Anyway, the mezzanine/lobby area is a bit packed and can get crowded. When the show's popular it's sardines down there. The only real knock I'd give this place is the lack of a middle aisle down in the orchestra level. May God help you should ya decide to down a few beers before the curtains rise. That's a long butt-to-face crouch shuffle to relieve oneself. Then you gotta do it again coming back, you'll be the villain of the row. It's an intimate venue and they manage to get top notch productions to come through (Wicked, Les Mis, Lion King, etc). Just heed my warning, don't go hard on liquids if you have a seat down low in the 20s or 30s. You'll be sorry. read more

Not impressed. This place is very dated. The walls are peeling, the upper areas are HOT, HOT, HOT, elevators are very noise and scary. Positive side? Parking is reasonable and convenient. Drinks are high for types of domestic beer they serve. Drinks are watered down as well. Not in a hurry to buy more tickets for events here. read more

Went to see Jenny Lewis and Ray LaMontagne here last night, the ticket a birthday present/ night for my girlfriend. Show was amazing. Generally any show I've seen had been well presented- good acoustics and really not a bad seat / view in the house. On the other hand, the concessions, bar and general set up outside the actual theater leave much to be desired. Not enough bathrooms, bars or food stands period. Expect long lines for all three. The bar prices are high- 9 dollars for your choice of three bad beers ( bud, bud light or Heineken). Mixed drinks ( singles) are about the same price- so I opted to do one of those. I had to halt the bartender from giving me mostly ice! For a bigger venue- they simply need more bars and bathroom facilities. In between bands, we came out for a break - my friend wanted a drink so we waited in line again. We were shocked when we found out the bar was completely out of near every liquor when we got to the front! Being that this was a pricier ticket, I was really just disappointed in the service. We also noticed another bar ran out if wine! I will give this venue one plus- they did have a lot of helpful ushers to assist in finding you seat. The interior of the building just looks plain outdated. Hopefully soon they'll consider a re- model here- or better shows will be a new performing art center soon to come downtown. read more

Come on Orlando can't you do better than this!??! The thing is- you come into the theater and it looks very contemporary and pretty (as well as the outside) BUT the part that is not good is you go there to enjoy a fabulous play and the actual function of the theater is horrific. There are two aisles, one on each far side. So, you have to climb over three hundred people if god forbid you have to use the restroom. The seats are also way way too small. I was smashed in between two large men. It was just silly! Major design problem with the theater. Very uncomfortable, grade school seats (smaller than airport seats) and no middle aisle! Everything was just wrong and uncomfortable. The actual performance of the Adams family was fair, not horrible, but the experience was terrible. If you are visiting Orlando go to Disney or the anyway center to see a show. If you seek to have a cultured, "grand old theater" type of experience- this isnt the place. Its more like a highschool auditorium, with fewer aisles. This place was only meant for mini people who like to climb over lots of people and enjoy a middle of the road play. read more

In comparison to other Florida Performing Arts Centre, the Bob Carr is definitely weak! Smaller in size, old in appearance, poor acoustics, and a horrible layout. . .If a show is touring to both Tampa and Orlando, I will gladly drive the extra miles to go to Tampa. Very excited for the new Dr Phillips Performing Arts Center. . . read more

I love going to plays. This place is less then great as far as seating goes. The shows are awesome but on general it's uncomfortable to watch a show here. You can see the the theater is dated. My best experience here was when they took seats out for lion king and finally had an aisle. Unfortunately they put the seats back. read more

Decent enough a place. It has been here for as long as I can remember and I have been in Orlando for 14 years. Not the best acoustics but any time I have come to a play it has been a great experience. Intermissions are a pain. Those line for the bathrooms are insane. Always thought they should have put more bathrooms in this place. Parking can be pricey but I always like to park at the old Amway center cuz it's nearby. When the shows are over and you are trying to get out on Livingston you will wait for over 40 minutes. Lots and lots of traffic. Bob Carr has been fun for all types of shows and performances. I think it's time for a new building or some renovations. read more

What a great place for celebrations and performances! I've been to a couple of plays and events here and enjoyed them immensely. The lobby is gorgeous with a double grand staircase. I can't believe no one has taken a picture of it yet! read more

I went recently to a Comedy Concert on the February 1st and the acoustics were absolutely lousy. The crowd began to chat amongst themselves because no one could hear the comedians. Very distracting. You could tell that all of the speakers in the auditorium were not on. I've been to other shows at the Bob Carr and the sound was fine but on this night......could not hear anything clearly. I looked in the audio engineer's room....empty! read more

After being a fan, for over twenty years now I was delighted to finally see Tori Amos live. I hear that this place is closing down and that there is a new Bob Carr Centre. I'm glad I was able to visit this place before it closed. Amazing show! Thank you for pushing me towards the heavenly reality that only Tori Amos could bring to Florida. read more

I wish i could give Bob Carr a zero. They "triple" booked our tickets to see Mary Poppins and didn't realize it until the day of the show which just so happened to be the final performance. They tried to get us to accept tickets to "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" instead....are you kidding me!?!?!? They refunded our money and put 2 comp tickets on our account for a future show but saying as this is my only experience with the center I highly doubt we even use the comp tickets. read more

Went with the boyfriend to see Wicked and it was awesome! The seats are a little close together if you are above average in size. We are both rather tall, and though I fit okay into mine, I felt the lady next to me leaning into my space. I really didn't care because she was in no way rude and we were all having a good time. If it were a long plane ride, it might be worth complaining over. They had a full bar with decent prices for a theater, and even some snack stands. The bathrooms were clean, but overcrowded. Will certainly come here again! read more

I've been to a few different shows performed at the Bob Carr performing arts theater. Most recently I was there to see the Vampires Ball put on by the Orlando Ballet. The Bob Carr is a nice facility and offers a wide selections of great seating for different shows that come to town. Although not a huge facility, the theater offers a more intimate viewing of popular shows and performances. The staff is super friendly and helpful and located at every corner making sure that you can find whatever ur looking for. This theater offers a concession stand with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. read more

Vampire's Ball Ballet....I have never seen a ballet and now I am a fan. The ushers were extremely friendly and helpful when it came to finding my seat and informing me about the wine that was available for purchase. The dancers were absolutely amazing....Seats were comfy....you can tell this venue is dated but sometimes thats where the best shows are.... read more

Very odd venue layout-wise. Horrible acoustics/backstage and the . It is very good news that they are building a brand new theater soon.

The first time I went to the Bob Carr, I was appalled. It is truly disagreeable... but the people of Orlando don't know any better. You feel as if you are in a cattle call, poor seating all around unless you are in the first 50 seats. The acoustics are not uniform, better in some areas and awful in many. AND NO ONE WILL TELL YOU the truth about blocked views, lousy speakers...You need binoculars to see the stage it is so cavernous. We have seen many plays and a few operas... it is just too bad Orlando does not have a decent place for Broadway plays. Stick to your local town's theater groups, they have AWESOME comfortable, Real theaters not the Bob Carr Pit. Why do I go you ask? Sometimes you can only see Wicked or Beauty, or a specific opera there; when the shows themselves are great sometimes it is worth putting up with crappy venue for one night. And THAT is why the Bob Carr stays as is; an abysmal 'theater'. read more

Deborah Serio Today at 1:49am They had a Christmas Cantata there Tues. October 17 and the arrangement they made with the people giving the show was awful. I cannot comment on how good this was because I and several hundred people were left outside on line from early in the afternoon only to find that there were so many tickets given out that at least 3 blocks of people in a triple line could not get in to see it. I watched people in wheelchairs, old people leaning on trees calling for someone to pick them up. Families, and people tired from work having to leave so sad at about an hour after it began. Why were so many tickets given out with no regard to how disappointed the several hundreds of people that drove from very far, paid to park in the lots, and waited on line for so many hours. This was irresponsible, and inconsiderate to say the least. Neither did I get a response when I called the phone # on the paper that was left on my door about the event. Nor did I get one from the Bob Carr theater when I called. No one seemed to care at all. They brought anything but joy to those of us that went through much trouble and expense to go to an event that had given out enough tickets to fill the Orange bowl, not a small theater. God help us be more caring and considerate of other read more

Came here for the first time Wednesday to see Wicked! $10 gets you parking in the huge parking lot adjacent to the Centre. Don't have $10? The Sheraton right across the street has an ATM in their lobby near the staircase. The interior and bathrooms appeared clean and there was staff present in key locations to point you to your seat or let you know where the restrooms were. There was a bar area serving martinis and various cocktails. A double long island was about $14 if I recall correctly. In the lobby vendors serve food like hotdogs and hamburgers in addition to candied pecans and other snacks. All food and beverage (including alcohol) are allowed in the theatre area (be warned however that there are no cup holders). The seats feel pretty small for a guy with broad shoulders and long legs but I guess it is what it is. It was an overall solid first experience! Hoping they get the Book of Mormon! read more

It would be nice if the seating was more stadium-ish and less highschool auditorium-ish. There were three overweight ladies who had to sit in folding chairs at the back, after having bought expensive orchestra seats, because they were uncomfortable with the width of the seating. I myself while being a bit overweight, did feel like a sardine trying to cram myself (hips and shoulders) into my allocated space. Theatres should take a hint from cinemas and incorporate some stadium seating. We are the most obese population, yet venues don't seem to take that into consideration. An overweight person's money is worth just as much as someone who isn't overweight. read more

Philharmonic Orchestra - Patriotic theme. Absolutely amazing performance! Truly enjoyed it.

This theater is a big disappointment! The aisles are extremely narrow, the acoustics questionable and facilities practically nonexistent. The handicapped entrance never opens on time, the attendants are rude and snippy, the area to leave your walker is very poor and there is only one restroom booth. I feel ticket prices for both the performances and handicapped parking are rather high and not worth the aggravation. I will not be renewing my subscription to the Broadway series nor the syphony as it is just worth the trauma you have to endure there. read more

The Worst Performing arts center seating I have ever experienced! I purchased expensive orchestra seating and there was little arm room and the seats were more crammed together like sardines on a cheap airline. I saw Priscilla in the Desert. The play itself was excellent, however the sound quality in the theater was poor. I along with other people sitting in orchestra were so uncomfortable we couldn't wait to get the heck out of that claustrophobic theater. I have been to many performing art centers and this one was like a death trap. There also were not enough isles--just one long row of cluttered seats which were the size of children's seats. Even the skinny folks were complaining. Theater should be a relaxing and comfortable experience. I did experience seating in the balcony and there was much more room and those were the cheaper seats. Next time if I go back I guess I'll go for the cheap seats, at least I'll be able to enjoy the performance. I just won't be able to see the stage well. I guess there's the option of bringing binoculars. C. Waterford read more

We parked at the old 8 seconds lot some might remember it as the Edge. lol It was well lit and Just $5. The City of Orlando was charging $15. They control that entire area by the old arena so before I found this lot I was gouged. read more
