This is a true Gem of our Queen City! Wonderful Broadway productions, Symphony, & Opera for all to enjoy! They even have specials for "girls night" or student rates below regular cost. Go SEE a Show! You'll probably get hooked...just like our family:) More

A lot of Broadway touring productions stop here, but it's got really good seat views (even from the cheap ones) and many food and wine places to hit up before or after the show. (I recommend Blue, if you care for a suggestion.) More

We always have a wonderful experience at the Blumenthal. They have quality shows and their staff and volunteers are outstanding. Sound quality and sight lines are never a problem. I do prefer to sit in the grand tier or mezzanine and pay a little more for my tickets, but that's just personal preference! More

This is a state of the art beautiful facility. Great seats most everywhere. You can pre-order intermission drinks which are prepared and ready for you at intermission. You can secure $5.00 parking ticket voucher. Very user friendly. Jersey Boys was fabulous. More

I really enjoy performance at the Blumenthal. This venue is small and not like all the large "stadium", impersonal venues. This is the way a performance should be seen. More

While visiting Charlotte on a weekend I went to see the musical "Bring it On". The theater is very nicely done and the sound and view was great from center orchestra. Unlike many of the older theaters there was a lot of room for hanging out during before the show and during intermission. There were a good number of restrooms... More

Caught the performance of Rain the Beatles tribute band. This was my second trip to the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center and it was worth the trip. I was impresssed with the staff and how they made sure you were finding your seat when you arrived. Thats a big plus in a sold out performance. More

The place is structurally set up poorly. The tier levels go straight up and have very little leg room. Good luck getting past someone in the isle! They over price the seats too. A 50 and a 20 dollar seat are literally next to each other... Makes no sense! We could barley see what was going on on stage and... More

We have been to about 4 or 5 shows at Blumenthal and loved the facility. The shows themselves have been great too! The building is large and clean and the staff is helpful and friendly. More

Although I've seen many types of shows here, the facility is best suited for superb visual shows like Opera Carolina productions. The Broadway Lights Series is also phenomenal. More
