The staff served us well! Such a delight in seeing them all! Working the show and then the Bar Show later kept this old man up too late. But I totally would do it again.

Most seasons include a wide range of classic musicals, e.g., Anything Goes, Fiddler on the Roof, modern musicals, e.g., Escape to Margaritaville, Rock of Ages along with comedies like Clue, The Play that Goes Wrong with an occasional drama in the mix. Each year, the highly talented veterans are joined by several apprentices, who add new voices and choreographic skills. After the main stage show, they also do a very fun cabaret style show in the rehearsal shed bar, which serves pizza and light snacks along with beverages. Always a very enjoyable time!

I am deeply disappointed by my recent experience at the Civic Auditorium. What was once a…read morerespected, community-focused venue has unfortunately declined--largely due to the behavior of its staff and ushers. The staff were rude and unprofessional, and shockingly unaccommodating toward children. This was especially upsetting given that we were attending a production specifically geared toward families and kids, Annie. Instead of being welcoming or patient, the usher we encountered was dismissive and unfriendly, making it very clear that children and teens are not truly welcome here. This venue is no longer family-friendly, despite advertising family-oriented productions. If you're bringing kids or teens, be prepared for an environment that feels rigid, uninviting, and uncomfortable. What makes this even more disappointing is my long history with the Civic. My family has donated large sums of money (we could have bought a couple homes with the amount we've donated) over the past 30 years because we believed in its mission and its role in the community. Sadly, after this experience, we will no longer be supporting it. The Civic is simply not what it once was. If you're looking for a welcoming, inclusive place to enjoy theater with your family, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Do not take your family to the Civic!

They've done some renovations which have made the experience there better. Miller Auditorium could definitely use some polishing! It's a bit drab inside and feels like a high school auditorium to me. We recently attended Cats the musical there and enjoyed the performance, but there's room for improvement at the theatre. The main lobby/concourse area is super crowded and packed. Everything is on top of each other - bathroom lines, concession counter lines, coat check lines, merchandise counter lines, and box office lines - all squished into one narrow space. It has terrible flow and makes for a cramped experience. The women's restroom line was very long even when they announced the other bathroom upstairs. The restroom also has a big carpeted lounge area that seems like wasted space. There were also zero security measures in place - they weren't even checking tickets at the main entrance doors (they did check them right before you entered the actual auditorium). No metal detectors or checking of bags - something I'm just so used to at DeVos. It would be more secure and feel a bit safer to me with those measures in place. Our seats were off to the aisle side of the orchestra level. We had a pretty decent viewpoint, but I was very distracted by the ushers who were playing phone police and intercepting anyone taking photos or videos during the performance. That's totally understandable, but it was annoying when one of them rushed down our row in front of us to the middle of the section right during one of the quiet ballads. I think there should be a clearer announcement at the beginning of the performance, rather than being disruptive to other guests during the show. I would come back in the future if there's a show that I really want to see that's not in GR, but it's not the best theatre experience I've had.

Then later they do a drawing for the ticket winners for the costume parade. It's nice to give the kids an experience of music that they can enjoy. During the symphony Halloween show they have an intermission. We always sit in the back so that we're out of the way in case the kids get a little restless. Everyone seems really nice and enjoys having the kids around watching the symphony.

Not the biggest venue in the world and the parking isn't good but other than that, it's a great place to see a rock show.

I have gone here several times and I've never been disappointed. I've even gone by myself when friends can't attend. If you're not used to a little bit of a sketchy location, then I'd advised taking a friend or maybe not attending. I used to go to the machine shop all the time in Flinttown and if anyone knows where Flint is, it's pretty ghetto. I'm kinda used to it so going here did not affect me. Of course there is limited seating so if you want a seat, I'd advised getting there as soon as you can preferably when they first open. I don't mind standing since I like being closer up front, but standing on your feet for several hours can deter others from attending. Drinks are great, bartenders have always been friendly but when I'm usually by myself I don't drink too much because of the driving situation. Def recommend for hard core rockers who love music :)

It would be nice to see some different vendors though instead of the same lineup year to year. But the ribs were delicious regardless. Food is pricey but comparable to other festivals.

PRO TIP: BYOC (Bring Your Own Chair) - They provide some seating but it usually fills up early as people "steal" the chairs to eat at tables and such. :)
