Beautiful center, easy to see from all areas, lovely building! My only problem is that I ended up sitting by a large man who ended up on 1/2 of my chair! LOL Good thing my son was able to share some of his space with me:)
We've been fortunate to see many excellent shows here, traveling Broadway shows, our own Symphony, whatever you see here is going to be enjoyed. We are beyond fortunate to get such great shows early in their tours schedules. And our Symphony is beyond excellent. Just a joy to go here, you know you'll enjoy the evening.
This was a great show. Lots of energy, great music, fun costumes and the acting was superb. We always enjoy going to the Civic Center. No matter where you sit it's easy to see the show. I'd definitely recommend seeing Kinky Boots as we thoroughly enjoyed this program.
Many great performances, but location is not always fun for parking. In need of a facelift, but really, the Civic Center is well managed. I recognize funds are not always available.
Having seen Peking acrobats in Peking, China, I was curious as to how the road show would compare. As part of a family performance series, this was not a full-length production. The first half was great, but the momentum could not be sustained and became labored to watch. In the last half, I noticed that the younger members of the audience were restless, often more intrigued with the gobos being projected on the audience ceiling. The solo performer with the spinning plates was great! As photography (flash or otherwise) is not permitted in USA theaters, my non-flash photo is from the Peking performance.
Both fabulous shows, both great, great fun. I learned in my two visits that the acoustics are iffy on the edges. So pay the money and sit in the center, even if you have to crawl over 50 pairs of legs to get there, it's worth it. A very fine venue indeed.
This performance venue brings in a variety of award winning shows. Despite being in a smaller city, the Civic Center often has trendy shows before they are well known. I've had seats at many different price levels and acoustically quality is good. I've also been impressed with their accommodations for the hearing impaired including sign language interpreters and listening aides.
We have always had an excellent experience at the Civic Center. They go through great effort to get top notch shows and events.The staff is friendly and helpful. It's located downtown which can be a traffic challenge. It's disappointing that if you see a show when the parking ramps are suppose to be free they charge you a "special events" fee. Well worth a trip to see a show here.
Wonderful musical. Great score and lyrics. Great cast. As always long long rows of seating can be a challenge.
Thoroughly enjoyed this program. We laughed till we had tears rolling down our faces. The actors seemed a perfect fit in their parts. We loved the music. The language is explicit and you should be aware - it's from the South Park creators after all! My only complaint would be that a few times during the program the words were difficult to understand because they just seemed too loud. We had excellent seats - but it is hard to have a bad seat at the Civic Center.
