Burlington benefits from performers being brought to the Flynn. Considering Burlington's population is less than 40,000 it has GREAT cultural activity. The Flynn and FlynnSpace do a wonderful job. More

I was there for Bluegrass. This venue is great in many ways. It's comfortable, not like the tiny seats of very old venues. Sound was perfect for our show.

I have been to many shows at the Flynn. They have top class performances, comfortable seating (for it's age), and the tickets are very affordable. Check to see what's playing at the Flynn before you come to town, you'll be glad you did! More

A lot of energy and dedication by staff and volunteers. Wish the sight lines were better for seeing the stage and being able to purchase tickets in the first 5 rows. The programming is terrific for a small state. The Flynn brings life to downtown Burlington, which helps restaurants and shops. More

We saw Chris Cornell performing an acoustic set of music from his impressive career to date. Our seats were in the back but the sound quality was excellent. The theater itself is spectacular. One complaint - one bathroom, for one person at a time? More

We are so lucky to have such a wonderful performing arts center with wonderful performances and everything else this center has to offer. I was so pleased to see so many young children with eyes wide open at this performance.... More

From its old fashion marquee to its art deco interior. If an event is taking place here( marque is lit on the night events take place), it is worth a visit. More
