tripadvisorThe nutcracker was fabulous! Love easy free parking. The seats even far from the stage were great in the balcony. Buying tickets in person easy.
MoreIt was a FABULOUS sow by the Fabulous Armadillos, entitled What's Goin' On--based on Marvin Gaye's song about the Viet Nam era. We'd seen the show before and were so overwhelmed we returned with6 friends so they could see it (and we could experience it again). The theater itself is well designed for such a show and the employees were helpful.
MoreMade a trip here last week for Cirque Musica: Holiday Wonderland. Entering the establishment was very organized and it all flowed. The ticketing was very smooth and there was lots of parking. The only complaint was the photobooth that was in the middle of the route to the restrooms this was a huge bottle neck. They had a consession stand with libations. The entry to the theater was nice and a quick check in. One we walked in the seats are a good size and the seating is slanted like opera seating so most seats give a good view. The performers came around and greeted people before the show and interacted with them allowing you to take photos with them while some played tricks and jokes.The whole show was interactive and the acrobats and performers were second to none. This was a spectacular performance and I can't wait to go there again.
MoreI’ve spent many an enjoyable hour at the Ames Center, both watching dance competitions, and more recently hearing a wonderful speaker. The seating is good, the parking is accessible and the location is great. Staff are helpful and courteous, and the venue and food offered are both very accommodating.
MoreFun performance, close free parking and a nice location. Although seats are stadium seating style for easy viewing, the handrails for the steps are in sections not one complete piece. This makes going up and down the steps a little dicey.
