Went recently to see Whoopi Goldberg performance and was treated to a performance from young artists from NJPAC jazz ensemble, which were incredible. I had not been there in awhile. Have taken my family to many performances in the past. Never disappointed. I almost forgot what a gorgeous venue it is. Always immaculate and seats give you more room then... More

Saw Tina Turner here a few years ago. First visit. Was on a high tier. I'm not afraid of heights but I got a bad case of vertigo. Didn't want to ruin the evening and say anything to my guests but it took me a very long time to get used to. Especially when walking to or from your seat,... More

This is a beautiful venue designed in the style of an old Opera house. I like how the stage is flanked by 3 tiers of balconies. It is just an architecturally great building and the acoustics are fantastic.

PAC has always been a great place to see a wide variety of shows. The ticket prices are reasonable and there is more than enough parking.

Modern facilities, probably better then the Lincoln Center in NY, but unfortunately it is kind of out of the way and located in Newark, NJ. which is not so safe in general but I found on the other hand people here at the NJPAC much nicer then Lincoln Center.

The performances at NJPAC are world class at great prices, and are of great value. The children's program is wonderful, and the adult shows are just as entertaining. Parking lots are plentiful nearby. The immediate area is very safe, as there is plenty of police presence before and after the shows. The acoustics are great at both the main hall... More

Celebrated MLK Celebration there. Was nice. What they call orchestra seats is no more than the first couple of rows but you can end up on the far left or far right and end up in a corner. Otherwise, it was a nice visit.
