Came here to see Don McLean and found that Judy Collins was on with him. What a great evening. Kravis Centre is a truly magnificent venue with good acoustics. Staff were polite and seating is good.
We buy the series of shows and go about once a month. If you get on the mailing list and give a small donation youcan buy your tickets before the public does. Not always the best seats in the house but better before than after.
I attended a performance of the St. Petersburg (Russia) State Symphony Orchestra, and while the music was excellent (a wonderful performance of Shostakovich’s Symphony # 5), the setting itself was the star. The orchestra hall is one of the most attractive modern settings for classical music in the U.S., and the acoustics are also excellent. Seats are pricey but not beyond the normal for high-end concert halls. I especially liked the informal eating options offered in the Kravis Center itself; wish we could do something like this in Pittsburgh. The only thing I didn’t like about the Kravis Center was the apparently accepted habit of walking out while the performance is still underway, in the middle of symphonic movements. This must have happened a dozen times! For all the showy wealth on display at Kravis (even Rolls-Royces in the parking lot), this habit is not only un-classy but disrupts everyone else’s enjoyment of the music.
The Colors of Christmas performance was something to remember for both young and old and was an amazing surprise for us. The venue and relaxed atmosphere made it more special. I have not been in Florida for the winter in some time and looking forward as there inspiring performances and tons of festive activities the week after Thanksgiving.
South Florida has many beautiful theaters to visit with the Kravis Center being no exception. This is a beautiful theater that is easy to access from the north or the south. The night we attended was a near sold old performance, but the valet parking was quick and organized and all the staff inside the theater were friendly and helpful. The will call line was really long, but moved quickly and efficiently. If making a night of it, there are plenty of outstanding restaurants close by to enjoy before the show making for a wonderful night out. I look forward to returning to this lovely theater again.
The show which has been performed over the years in many different locations in many states was so wonderfully done. The actors, the stage, the clothing was so great. The songs were as usual memorable and you left the theater with a wonderful feeling.
What a wonderful experience we had last night at the Kravis Center. It was our first time there and we were pleasantly surprised to see that there was a free parking garage that was in walking distance to City Place with all of its shops and restaurants.The Kravis Center is easily managed, the signage is excellent and Dreyfoos Hall where the ballet was presented is large, comfortable and perfect for this type of performance.I don't know what words to use for the Moscow City Ballet's performance of Swan Lake. There did not seem to be a live orchestra, but one could hardly tell the difference. The dancers were superb, conveying emotion through their dance that was visible all the way from the back of the Grand Tier where we were seated. The costumes were vibrant and enhanced the performers steps and leaps. The sets were well done, but the personnel were the highlight of this incredible presentation.
We keep going to the Kravis Center, its comfortable, beautiful for performing arts. They offer plenty of free parking. Every section has very good seats. We went as the urban cool to see Ramsey Lewis and Philip Bailey. Ramsey the Jazz pianist, and Grammy winner 1965, "The in Crowd". Philip the quest Vocalist, longtime member, Earth, Wind, & Fire. It cost $50. each and was a very good evening.
We have been season ticket holders for several years and have enjoyed this venue and the performances it presents. The support team at in the Box Office is professional and courteous, and ushers are always willing to assist with a smile.
I have been to the Kravis Center 4 times in the past 6 months. Each time I have sat in a different section. No matter where you sit you will have an amazing view so don't be afraid of the higher up seats. Some shows were actually better up top. The venue has free parking in their garage and valet if you need someone to park for you. They serve drinks and some snacks before the shows and during the intermissions. Highly recommend this venue for any of your performance arts needs. Always a wonderful time.
