I went to see The Lion King and it was fabulous! The theater is small enough to capture the details without binoculars or an additional screen. The music was captivating. The colors were vivid. The storyline was familiar, and the characters were great. I would absolutely go back to PPAC to watch this play, and looking forward to other plays coming later this year and next year.

I was excited to see that the Lion King was playing at the Providence Performing Arts Center! The theater is very easy to get to and there is a ton of parking nearby. Admissions was swift and not crowded - they definitely are organized and know how to keep the traffic moving. They sell various snacks and some are even locally made like the popcorn I bought. The venue itself is beautiful, especially the theater. The seats are as you would expect - velvety and small. The sound and lights were great. I really enjoyed the show. I will say that at times, I felt distracted - it seemed like the audience was louder than I expected - especially with the snack bags. Oh well, what can you do At intermission the women's bathroom was a little bit of a you know what. But this seems to be a common problem with older theaters. Regardless, I had a great time and would def come back to see another show!

We were at the Stadium last night to see the musical Anastasia. Our seats cost $45 and we were 6 rows from the stage. You really can't beat that! This theatre has excellent sight lines and we could see everything on stage very clearly. The acting and singing of the entire cast was outstanding, and they had a live orchestra as well. The Stadium lineup usually consists of a few musicals per season, several tribute bands, comedians, popular singers from years past, and they also seasonal favorites such as "A Christmas Carol" and "It's a Wonderful Life" radio show. We've always had great experiences here and we'll be going back in just a few weeks to see Melissa Etheridge.

That said - the sound needs to be regulated better since the music was so loud it was "tinny" at times and actually drowned out Dan's voice. Which is a crime since it's a GREAT voice!

It is such a shame that such a meaningful structure depends on donations to keep functioning as an arts center. It is truly a piece of artistic history as well as a testament to faith.
