Tuts performance was very good with Spamalot this weekend.. We have season tickets and one more show for this season... After several years with The Broadway Series we switch to Tuts for a few seasons.. This coming season is either we have seen the shows are not interested in them..so did not renew our subscription..The Hobby Center is a must... More

Wonderful theater, but also the most amazing view of downtown Houston from the terrace. So glad to have this complex in Houston!

I love the Hobby Center. Very gorgeous, easy to get to, good parking situation. The starry ceiling is magnificent. I love to get dressed up and go see a play, and even in the "cheap seats" you get a good view and a good show. The restrooms are enormous, and always very clean.

My wife always enjoy making the trip downtown to have dinner and see a show. Make reservations at Artista for dinner and go early. Have a nice dinner inside Hobby Center then go in and enjoy a show. It is a great date night.

The Hobby Center has 2 excellent theaters and regularly hosts musicals before their Broadway tenure. It is a new theater, with great acoustics, comfortable seating, and a variety of food/drink options for those who arrive early.

The story of the 4 seasons was told in this Broadway series. Excellent seats and great place except for the bathroom lines at intermission.

We may be a bit 'snobby' and tend to prefer center orchestra seats where we have to worry about the actors spitting on us, but we recently saw a show sitting in the right mezzanine, and it was wonderful! This is a beautiful theatre and a fabulous venue for quality productions. We will keep coming back!
