Although the entrance isn't accessible from street level, entrance is extremely easy. Parking on the second level of the Blue Parking Garage leads right to a walkway between the two buildings. You exit the bridge onto a small plaza with entrances to both the Z and a restaurant. Walking in we were immediately greeted and pointed out the bar, bathrooms and ticket entrance. Drinks can be taken into the theater. It was fun greeting local theater community friends, some of whom I hadn't seen in decades. Seating was comfortable with plenty of leg room and space. The view from the center section, where I was seated, was excellent. The temperature in the theater was perfect. The Zeider hosts different production companies, comedy acts, independent theatrical productions and musical acts. But I've never seen them host a main stage production of a major musical theater work such as Stephen Sondheim's "Assassins". The theater experience was perfect. It's a great space in a great location. I'd love to see them partner more often with production companies who perform musical theater works and plays that can be staged in their space.

Absolutely the best Classical Ballet Studio in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia…read more Ms. Ana Maria Martinez who was herself, classically trained by her mother a Cuban National Ballet dancer and whose uncle was influential as co-director of ABT in NYC, gave her the foundation of her teaching career. Our granddaughter has come so far since finally finding and dedicating herself to Ms Ana's teaching. Ballet teaches children discipline, physically, and emotionally. Preparing them to succeed in the future. Ms Ana is firm, but never unkind, unlike some of the previous studios we attended. She inspires her students. Not one regret since first attending, nine years ago. Small studio. Nothing fancy. But the training! And any dancer knows... "It's all about the training!"

Best ballet in the area! Ms Ana is great and offers high level ballet training and contemporaryread more

My Daughter has been going here and having lessons with Tim Dail for 3 years. I can't speak to the…read moreother teachers but Tim is excellent. My daughter has grown in her time going here. The facilities larger enough. My daughter plays piano, but I have seen students with other teachers playing violin. Each teacher has their own room, and there are 4 of them. Tim does recitals periodically, and the students are talented. Some are beginner, others advanced. Some kids, some teens, some adults, so all ranges really. If you're looking for piano lessons, SK Piano academy is a good place to start, and I cannot say enough good things about Tim.

Upon calling Simeon at SK Piano Academy I was pleasantly greeted over the phone. I was told that…read morethere were 2 teachers, himself and his wife Tristi. He also stated that I could bring in my daughter for a free introductory lesson and could have her meet both teachers if I would like. I scheduled a day and time to meet with Tristi and it couldn't have been better. It didn't even seem like my daughter was not playing for a few months. Tristi made her very comfortable and she was very patient with my daughter. She is very well versed in piano as she recently graduated from a very prestigious music school so I felt very comfortable with her knowledge and expertise. Tristi had informed me that they just started the business recently and they already had about 30 students. The piano academy itself has a waiting room and 3 private rooms. One room is Simeon's teaching room and 1 room is Tristi's teaching room. They also have a room with a chalkboard to teach piano theory. Prices are reasonable and are similar to ones I paid before. They offer discounts if you pay quarterly which is great. I would definitely suggest that if you or your child is at all interested do yourself a favor and receive the free introductory lesson. You may find that your child may actually enjoy playing. P.S. My daughter chose to meet with Tristi without even considering Simeon but after meeting Simeon, he has such a great attitude that I don't think my daughter would have minded having him as her teacher. They are both very friendly.

My husband and I were introduced to Little Theatre of Norfolk many years ago by a dear friend who…read morewas very active with LTN. We had happily volunteered as ushers for many productions from plays to musicals and made it one of our favorite dates for several seasons. We always enjoyed the remarkable talent, time, and commitment this local theatre brings out to share with the community from the fantastic stage designs and sets to its diverse and talented casts of performers. The Green Room offers light refreshments for purchase and has fundraising raffles, too. It's a neat place to stop into during intermission, and you're now permitted to bring your beverage into the theatre now, as long as you're mindful to remove and dispose of your trash when leaving the theatre. The theatre's name might include the word little, but it has a large heart! Let's keep it clean! While we are big fans of Broadway in New York City, and have purchased season tickets to Broadway in Norfolk, the Little Theatre of Norfolk provides amazing shows and performances that we highly recommend. So, when a friend saw that LTN was offering 'In the Heights, A New Musical' by Lin-Manuel Miranda, we couldn't wait to join them for the show. It was their first time at LTN. We're all big fans of Lin-Manuel and this weekend's performance did not disappoint. We were moving to the beats and humming in our seats. The set designs were vivid and bright, and the lighting used on and off stage, along with the cast singing and dancing in the aisles were electric. Job well done LTN!

This was our first visit to The Little Theatre of Norfolk, but it certainly won't be our last…read more Conveniently located in the Chelsea section of Norfolk near Lambert's Point, just off Hampton Boulevard, the theatre is easy to reach and welcoming from the moment you arrive. The staff were friendly as we checked in and found our seats, and the Green Room bar is a nice touch if you'd like to enjoy a beverage during the performance. As for the show--Gaslight--I was genuinely impressed. The acting was superb, the set design captured the period beautifully, and the tension of the story was carried expertly by the cast. This classic psychological drama tells the story of Bella Manningham and her manipulative husband Jack, whose strange behavior slowly convinces Bella that she may be losing her sanity. Without giving away the mystery, the production builds suspense masterfully and delivers a powerful payoff that keeps the audience fully engaged. If you enjoy live theatre performed at a high level, The Little Theatre of Norfolk is well worth a visit. Not only will you enjoy a great evening of entertainment--you'll also be supporting a wonderful part of Norfolk's local arts community.

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.

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

I have seen the Philharmonic once in NY and loved it. My husband and I both play piano and appreciate classical music. This is something you can't pass up when you live in the area.

VSO annually performs in venues all over Hampton Roads, including genres such as Classical, Pops, and Jazz. In fact, just this week, VSO provided a small Jazz ensemble at the local Pagoda restaurant as one of their many Outreach concerts. VSO also provides orchestral support of the acclaimed Virginia Opera, Virginia Arts Festival, and Virginia Ballet. Last year, we enjoyed the Eroica Trio with VSO at the Sandler Center in Virginia Beach, another wonderful venue.
