Recent Hamilton Musical Reviews
Excellent4.4★★★★☆ Based on 1707 reviews fromIsaac Goldman1749432776 ★★★★★ Elegant stadium with easy access from the street. There are a lot of stairs going to the second level. However, handicap access is available adjacent to the stairs along the street. The vendor will not sell alcohol if the host of the event request them not to. Staff was friendly, and prices are appropriate for a venue environment.Seating is comfortable and relaxing with specious leg room for an adult male who is 6ft 3in 220lbs. I would recommend attending events at this location.Jenny Trump1746832758 ★★★★★ For the public there are two entrances. The entrance on Park Street has lots of steps but the entrance on Green street is level. On Green Street you can drive up and drop off. If you are there to meet graduates you can meet them on the grassy boll. Oh if you enter on the Park side road the sidewalk to the right of the building serves as a ramp. They have plenty of restrooms . Most people try to enter in the auditorium on the same side as the entrance and the line is usually long. If you walk past the restroom and go to the other side the lines are shorter. It’s a cozy auditorium. No middle isle so if you sit in the middle you will have to be ready to say excuse me over and over. The seats are comfortable.There are two large parking garages in Park street. The one across from the auditorium is always more than the one a block away.S D1739719526 ★★★★★ We saw an amazing performance by the palmetto band. The music was beautifully played. The seats were comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean.Meadow S.1734462977 ★★★★★ When to see the last showing of the Avatar orchestra with my family and we loved it!

It was awesome, beautiful venue for this to take place. Plenty of seating and the music was phenomenal. They also sell beer, wine and water during the show.

They didn’t want to miss anything deciding not to move for intermission 😊 The staff was friendly and very courteous. I plan to come back for another show again. Thank you.Donald R.1710266807 ★★★★☆ A wonderful venue for the performing arts. Ticket prices were reasonable. My wife and I really enjoyed our seats in the orchestra. We could hear and see...M S1710250915 ★★★☆☆ Hamilton was absolutely brilliant. Everyone involved has such bare talent.The venue, however, was a bit of a let down. For a venue with capacity for 2,256 (and it was packed) why isn’t there more one bathroom for each gender on each of the three floors? For the ladies, that means 14 stalls on level one, and 4 stalls each on levels two and three. So a grand total of 22 stalls for ~1,000+ people. As you can imagine, it’s impossible to get everyone through that during a 15 minute intermission. Even with women being filtered through the 2-stall men’s room on level three, we still unfortunately missed the first song after intermission.There also didn’t seem to be any employees monitoring the entrances, as people were leaving and coming in throughout the entire show. The opening of the doors/lights in the middle of songs was very distracting.Pro tips for anyone attending a show in an indoor venue:- If your kid cant sit still and not chat for 3 hours, please don’t bring them.- Don’t wear strong perfume/cologne. It’s inescapable for everyone around you.Megan Laughlin1710059268 ★★★☆☆ The venue itself is fine. Although, for a sold out show, the facilities may be a little lacking. However, the staff working the concession were unnecessarily rude. The lady taking the order was rude and condescending to the person behind me in line and scolded her like she was a child for touching the display wine bottle when she was trying to read info about the wine she was ordering. Then the lady pouring the drinks handed me a different wine than I ordered. When I told her I had actually ordered a different kind both ladies joined in to tell me that's not what I originally asked for, etc. but that they would pour me another (as if they were doing me a favor). They made a much bigger deal out of making sure to point out they thought it was my error, than it really needed to be or what I would consider good customer service. I was pretty confident about what I ordered, but didn't argue with them since there is always the possibility I misspoke and didn't realize it and was just happy to end up with the correct drink in the end. Plus, I just wanted to enjoy myself and wasn't going to let them ruin my experience. But, another person in line behind me made it a point to pull me aside and tell me I had asked for what I thought I did and that they were wrong. Either way, the way I witnessed them speaking to not only myself but another customer does not reflect well on the venue as a whole.M S1710039546 ★★★☆☆ Hamilton was absolutely brilliant.

Has really cool glass front of the building, pretty easy to navigate and park. Smells goodKatie Ratcliff1702857923 ★★★★☆ We look forward to the ballet performances every Christmas! The stage effects and seating and everything are great!My only complaint, is that even though there are three bathrooms (one per floor), it is not enough when the auditorium is at capacity! The lines on every floor were long and a lot of folks were scrambling in the dark back to their seats because it took longer than the intermission period to make it through the bathroom line!Candra Tyler1702476289 ★★★★★ We've only visited during day time school trips but they do an amazing job filling all the kiddos in and out safely (block the entire street during off loading/on boarding). Great stage. Not a bad view anywhere in the auditorium. We've seen 2 productions so far here and loved both. One being a play/musical and the other a ballet. A ton of creativity and artistry go in to each Performance. That is very clear. Lots of staff around to assist with seating and answering questions. Love this place!Stacey Brown1698803203 ★★★★★ We went to see The Thorn here. I highly recommend it to anyone. The main narrator was amazing. The seating in the venue is nice. We sat on the balcony level.Maxwell Abuya1697150936 ★★★★★ The facility has amazing acoustics and is well maintained.
