We saw Disenchanted in the Rinker Theater at Kravis Center. Basically this is a hilarious feminists' revue of the "real" story of classic Disney princesses with fast-paced, clever songs. A wee bit risqué. And a whole lot of fun. The smaller Rinker Theater is the perfect setting for this show as you can clearly see the outlandish expressions on the actresses faces and can clearly hear the witty words of the songs. To their credit, the production company, MNM Theater Company, uses only Florida-based staff, including actors, musicians, technical and production people. They want to keep Floridians employed in Florida theater. The show and its production earn a 5-star rating. The only reason I am not giving the overall review 5 stars is due to Kravis' ticket policy. After I purchased tickets, I found a 20% discount through the Palm Beach County Cultural organization MOSAIC (Month of Shows, Arts, Ideas & Culture). I contacted the box office and they refused to honor the discount even though we hadn't yet seen the play. Disappointing. Still, Disenchanted was a fun show. Bravo! read more

We saw Renee Fleming, and she was fabulous! The theater is organized and clean with nice service and plenty of refreshments. My one complain is that I have experienced this every time I have attended a performance here: many of the older patrons are snobby and will yell "Shhhh!" Loudly during a performance when they think someone is too noisy. Rather than helping the situation, this, ironically, makes it worse read more

Kravis Center - Performing Arts Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

It's a pretty nice community theater. Parking is interesting, either finding street parking or getting a spot in their garage and then finding your way to the correct theater, which is only partially covered, so when it's raining outside it is not easy to navigate. There are elevators but they are quite slow. The staff and volunteers are all very nice, but the food prices are quite inflated and you can't bring food into the theater. (No one mentioned that until after we had bought it, so we ended up shoving most of it in our mouths and throwing some away so we could go into the theater so we wouldn't be stuck outside for the 6 minute opening.) They do have lovely little tables overlooking the downstairs area, So you can get there earlier to eat, which is a good thing to know for next time . They have beautifully decorated staircases that are picturesque. Everyone seems very nice, and it is clean. It is larger than the maltz theater in Jupiter, but much smaller than Broadway theaters and shows. Overall it's a really cute place to go for a special evening out. read more

They have excellent shows and very well organized. Love the series each year especially musicals.

This venue is exquisite! Gorgeous high ceilings, grand entrance with a beautiful water display. We drove on our first trip from miami and I have to say this venue is amazing and I completely recommend. The Staff is kind and friendly and they have 12 bars and plenty of seating to enjoy some food and drinks before and during the performance. I was completely satisfied and loved my experience. The only downside visiting from Miami is the audience is stiff and lifeless and if you even clap loudly they turn and give you the evil eye ... so it is like watching an exciting live performance your family and friends are in but the audience expects it to be an elementary school library so the audience is a fun sponge. But the venue is AMAZING!!!!!! read more

cirque soleil fraud. this is not the real cirque du soleil save your money & time. who was in charge of bsing the people? anyone who has went to a real cirque soleil shows knows that they are spectacular and breathtaking - the entire act. not kids in onesies running around. my family has went to several real shows years ago and this is not it. this is a scam or imposters not at the level of the real cirque soleil. while they were slightly cute for maybe ages 1-5 but not for teens or adults and not at over $500!! really the audacity. really angry and disputing the charges. not worth even $50 a ticket- sorry. refund all who know better. read more

I had never visited the Kravis Center until seeing a performance of My Fair lady. I can say the experience was excellent. Free parking, for starters, from Level 3, you only have to walk down a ramp to reach the ground level where the primary entrances and box offices are for the Kravis without having to go downstairs or elevators. The champagne bar before the show started was nice to enjoy a couple of flutes for good measure (although I think it's only complimentary if you're a season ticket holder, which my wife currently is). If you arrive early enough before the start of a show, you can find a table on the mezzanine to enjoy said champagne. The theatre of the Kravis Center is lovely and stylish. We had excellent seats on the floor for the production of My Fair Lady. The ushers we interacted with were very friendly as they directed us to the right area. During intermission, I enjoyed the bar area but was disappointed the bar was out of Jameson Irish Whiskey for Jameson and ginger ale. However, they had Johnnie Walker Black, which was a decent second option. The intermission was pretty brief, so I had to crush that Johnnie Black and Ginger so we wouldn't be late for the show's second half. The restrooms were excellent, with a partition in between the urinals. That might seem like a minor observation, but I like separation and privacy when using the bathroom. I would go to more shows here at the Kravis, given its location Downtown and short, walking distance to City Center/Rosemary/or whatever name the plaza on Rosemary calls itself nowadays. read more

The Kravis Center is an amazing theatre and a wonderful place to see a show. Plenty of parking, easy access, excellent seating, solid sound, really good lighting. I've seen many shows here over the years, today we saw Summer - The Donna Summer Musical. The show was good but not great. I do highly recommend the Kravis Center for seeing shows of all kinds. read more

Kravis Center - Summer - The Donna Summer Musical - Performing Arts Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

I purchased tickets in the Grand Tier Box, Seats 5 & 6 for Paul Anka on March 6. This box has 4 movable seats in the front and 4 movable seats in the back. Because the tickets were described as "Obstructed View", I called the Box Office before purchasing. I was told that the tickets are listed as obstructed view because the people sitting in front may block the view of the stage. I asked if there was anything else, equipment or something else that interfered with seeing the performance and was told no. I asked if I could move our seats left or right to better view the stage and was told yes. So I purchased the tickets. When we arrived, we had NO view of the stage. Not because of the people sitting in the front row of our box, but because of the people sitting in the box next to our BOX, Box 2, closer to the stage. Moreover, I could not sit next to my wife or I would have completely blocked the people sitting in seats 7 & 8 in our box. So i sat with no view of the stage behind my wife or I stood up to be able to view the stage. The Kravis Center misrepresented the view from the so-called Grand Tier Box. It was anything but Grand. It should have been described as No View or Limited View of Stage. I will never purchase a Box seat ticket at the Kravis Center. read more

The Kravis Center is in the heart of downtown WPB. I've been to Kravis a few times and it is an absolutely beautiful facility. This particular evening I was there to see Pretty Woman. We had taken the Brightline from Boca which made a huge difference in getting to the theater. Highly suggest. We arrived fairly early which gave us time to grab a drink and a snack. I was very surprised at the great selection of food and I decided on the tuna wrap. It was delicious! The staff were extremely friendly and let us know we could prepay for our cocktails at intermission- a great perk! Although I am a seat snob and normally never buy tickets in the balcony they turned out to not be so bad after all. Rest assured next time I'll be back in the orchestra section. Im a huge theater fan and love the arts and look forward to my next show at Kravis. read more

Entertaining experience at the Kravis Center. A friend and I watched Aladdin that was a funny and colorful show. Garage parking is free and easy. There are not a lot of good food options - more snacks and drinks so I would recommend have eaten prior to the show. Wine is served in a plastic cup that resembles Starbucks cups. Overall was a more upscale activity than usual and the location was clean and pleasant. read more

Updating my review and giving this entertainment venue 5 stars. First, as mentioned in my initial review, parking is free in the adjacent garage, whereas in Miami at the Arscht Center, one pays $40 to park in a gravel lot and one also pays to park at Broward Center. Second, the acoustics in Dreyfoos Hall here at Kravis Center seem pretty near perfect, at least for the few performances we've seen there, vs. venues in Broward and Miami where I've sometimes struggled to hear or clearly understand dialog. Third, and this is what really earned the 5th star - the staff here are incredibly nice, outgoing and understanding. We came here to see an 8 p.m. performance of a musical we've seen on Broadway and are big fans of, but due to traffic congestion on the I-95 we were a bit more than 5 minutes late arriving here. As soon as we entered the building, the guy at the door who scanned us explained there was no reason to worry, the show held for 8 minutes and we'd still get to see the big opening number, which is one of the strongest in that show. Once past him, an older woman standing at the podium identified herself as a manager and said the show had just started and they're not supposed to allow patrons in until the opening number is through, but due to where we were seated, she'd make an exception. She handed our tickets to an usher, asked him to escort us inside and seat us, so long as we didn't need to pass in front of anyone. If that were the case, she asked that he just find some end seats for us. I thought that was an incredibly kind gesture, it was something she definitely didn't need to do, nor were we expecting it, and I was sure to see her on the way out and thank her again. The usher who escorted us inside was also very friendly and personable. For those who live in or near West Palm, don't take this venue for granted - it's a true gem! read more

Went to see CATS. The Center is nice, and feels clean. You have to show either your Covid Card or a Negative Test prior to going in.. The employees are nice for the most part. There were some that were grumpy and appeared stressed which was sad to see. They have a bar/food on the first floor as well as the floor we were on. We had a box seat, and were not allowed to bring our drinks into the area. Though you are sitting alone in this area, they ask that you wear a mask the entire time of the show. The theater is large and seats many guests. Enjoy! read more

Yelp headquarters removed my Kravis review regarding their covid policies. I assume they will be removing just about everyone's reviews for the past 2 years. Anyway. Great venue. Gorgeous building..

I'm glad they still have free parking cuz once they change that I don't know if I'll ever come back. Dreyfoo Hall is filled with seats that are very old because I am now bruised on my hips. I understand I am a plus size individual but I'm actually The American Average and although I do fit in the seat there is little to no comfort in the seat and I'm now bruised from moving back and forth they do need to update that but obviously that would cost money read more

Always have parking. Comfortable seats and clean venue. We saw stomp and loved the show. Nothing bad to report.

We attended the Wounded Veterans Relief Fund Night of Honor in the Cohen Pavillion last night. Out of three years attending at three different venues, this was the tops! Service, comfort, cuisine, acoustics, etc were all top notch. ¡Bravo! read more

Sadly, this will probably be the last visit for some time due to COVID-19. I'm grateful I had the opportunity to see and enjoy The Color Purple musical with my friend before this new temporary norm began. While we were in the fiscally wise seats (up at the top), it didn't preclude us from enjoying the show. A few surrounding patrons were truly the only annoyance. The volunteer ushers were gems and did their very best to keep those few individuals in check, but one can't teach decorum. Additionally, they along with one of the managers had to patrol frequently reminding patrons not to use their cellular phones. My word, how do folks not know how to behave at the theatre! The show itself was very well done and the cast was comprised of some talented individuals. Some of the singing was spectacular! The sound in the Kravis is great regardless of one's seat location and seating is comfortable. The restrooms are clean and the bars and kiosks are quite convenient for a location or snack during intermission. Finally, there are great photo opportunities and security is on point. My only grievance is the parking garage. Fortunately, they offer valet and there's plenty of options within Rosemary Square if one doesn't mind a little stroll. read more

The recent Miami City ballet Spring Mix was a HUGE disappointment. To begin, the introductory announcement was spoken in 2 languages. We live in the US. Providing just one alternative language to English, which I opine, is discriminatory against all other languages other than English. If you provide one, why not further assault attendees with a litany of others? On to the production... The stage was barren, no set, and bereft of any color. The male dancers wore nude tights. The ballerinas appeared in plain, black bodysuits with spaghetti straps, no tu tu or embellishment. It looked more like a rehearsal than an actual performance. The only saving grace was the orchestra music, which was in keeping with ballet. The second act, was much worse. The music was piercing and hurt the eadrums. It sounded like jungle, tribal music, very unsettling and most unenjoyable. A song was introduced with lyrics in a language that were undiscernable. I have never attended ballet with vocals. We were hostages in a strange world that was extremely disturbing. We left immediately thereafter and will be most apprehensive about attending another ballet in this current degenerative culture. I encourage The Kravis Center to give prospective attendees a heads up description as to what type of production they will be contributing to, before tickets are purchased. read more

Kravis Center was the first performing arts center I visited in Florida when I moved here. Over the years I have seen diverse shows of many kind being held here. They do a great job with organization and always are a class act. The employees are great throughout this venue. They are nice and assertive. Recently we went to a orchestra show and one employee even offered to a take a picture of us while we were admiring a Christmas tree within the venue. The hall itself is beautifully designed and every seat seems at a great angle. The only thing I wish was different about this whole place is the fact that the chairs can get a little more comfy. They aren't unbearable but nor is the cushion part the most relaxing. Tip: Parking- It's free parking in the garage which is great. Or you have the valet option as well. read more

They need to review their policy about letting people be seated while a performance is going on. They let people in up to 30 minutes into the Nutcracker, which is really not fair to the people who arrive on time. The room needs to be cooled down a few degrees. Drink prices are insane and their is a mandatory 20% gratuity which should be discretionary on behalf of the guest. read more

In late November, I bought myself a ticket to see Hamilton at the Kravis Center in February. I paid $202 for a seat in the front middle of the first rise or LOGE row A 325 The production was fabulous! The theater was lovely. Parking was great. The employees were a delight. So why the 4 stars? The Bistro. Again, the employees were perfect but the food was terrible. The wine was nice but the vegetable wrap had no flavor what so ever. No seasoning, no dip, no onion... just bland. I wasn't expecting much but I hoped for better. Incredibly disappointing and a bad start to an otherwise nice evening. Secondly, I spoke to the woman in the seat next to mine. She purchased her ticket a week ago. Her ticket was $125. I bought mine months ago in fear that it would sell out but now see that I should have waited to actually get a deal. I feel better about this discovery than had it been an airline ticKet... I'd rather support the arts than line some CEO's pocket but still. Of course I would return to see other performances but I will likely hold off on my purchase and definitely eat elsewhere. read more

Kravis Center - View of the stage from center loge - Performing Arts Near Me - West Palm Beach, Florida

I received an email the day before the show that was titled "Need To Know Before You Go ". As a result of the heightened security in all public places, they asked all guests to arrive early & to avoid bringing any luggage, backpacks, etc. to the theater. Since they are so close to Mar-A-Lago, I am guessing that's why they keep security so tight. They are being proactive & I love it! Free parking is offered in their five story garage & they offer two types of valet service. I went with the $12 valet & after the show I had my car within 5 minutes. For $20 the valet attendants will park your car right in front so you have no wait at all. After I dropped off my car, I headed to the window to pay in advance. It saved a lot of time once the show ended. Thanks David A. for the tip in your review! The doors open 90 minutes prior to the start of the show. I didn't try the restaurant or order anything from the bar- I went shopping in their small boutique. Although I didn't buy anything, the prices were inexpensive. They had some cool things including a terrific greeting card display. The lobby is elegant & showcases a large dramatic staircase. The theater is beautifully designed and really is quite stunning. The Kravis Center is well staffed with an awesome group of volunteers; who aside from being efficient, are a very friendly crew. If I lived closer I would seriously consider volunteering a few hours a week. The volunteers see all the shows for free. That's one tremendous perk. I purchased my tickets over the phone & I received my tickets within three days. I was having problems that day with my computer (typical in my office) & the box office representative was great and she found me two seats in the orchestra, row L. Wonderful view of the stage and the seats were actually very comfortable too. The theater is located just East of 95, next to CityPlace. Their next door neighbor is the Ruth Chris Steak House. I will be returning to see a few of the "Kravis on Broadway" shows they have scheduled. I highly recommend The Kravis Center For Performing Arts to everyone. read more

I remember coming here when I was in elementary school, so that goes to show how long it's been around. The venue is beautiful. They don't allow food and drinks in the theater, so you got to chow and drink it all down before it's show time. It's so clean and very spacious. No matter where you sit, it's always a good view. Parking is never a issue either. There is a self parking garage connected to the center and they offer valet service as well. I was worried that we were going to have a trouble finding a spot, but we were able to park on the second floor. Maybe it was because it was a 10 o'clock show on a Saturday ;) If it wasn't for my son's love for Paw Patrol, my husband and I would probably have never came yesterday for its show. It was surprisingly good and well done for our expectations of it since it's based off of an animated TV show. I have been to shows there prior and this was probably one of the best ones I saw. Plus, there were a bunch of young kids there, so it was very family friendly. The security was excellent and the staff was helpful. We ended up going to the wrong level and they assisted us to the right location of where our seats were. As we got seated, I wasn't sure how my son was going to act since it was his first time seeing a show in a theater. He wasn't sure about it since he realized it was different than what it is watching on TV. After he had a couple snacks and some water during the intermission, he enjoyed it a lot more and got an overpriced spinner toy on the way out. As much as I gripe about how much that damn thing cost, he loved playing with it all day long yesterday ;) read more

On a Thurs. evening, I was fortune enough to go see School of Rock with my friend who offered a free ticket. It also included a champagne welcome. PARKING: Free and easy if you arrive at least an hour before show time. The professionals back their cars in, ready to swerve out in front of you, whether you like it or not. CROWD: Most of the weekday crowd are season ticket holders and retired. After the first half of the 8 pm show, some patrons leave (past bedtime) while others come down to orchestra area to take their seats. SHOW: First half, I was dozing off. Could have been the champagne. Second half was much more lively and kept me awake. Very talented kids. The 8 pm show was tough on a week night, unless you're retired. VENUE: Dreyfoos Hall is beautiful with its cascading center stairs. Great area to people watch while sipping champagne. The best seats are below in the orchestra. Did not need my binoculars. read more
