    The theater is beautiful and well located. The problem was the management’s decision to keep the air temperature extremely cold. We had front row seats and were freezing cold even with sweaters and a sweatshirt. People around us were cold and even the ushers were saying they were cold. Unfortunately, we preferred to leave at intermission instead of continuing to shiver. We have seen a lot of Broadway. This is the coldest we have ever been in any theater ever. The management could save a fortunate on air conditioning instead of selling pins to raise money.

    GREAT RIVERDANCE PERFORMANCE
    The most recent visit by my wife and myself was last night. Riverdance performed. It was great. We loved it. Many people in the audience wore covid masks. Parking was a problem. We parked at a garage across the street, where it cost us $15 to park our car.

    Great venue, parking tip
    Great venue. Comfortable seats and every seat is a good one. Helpful staff. Excellent audio. We parked on the street to avoid parking garage/valet lines. Go early to get a spot and walk along the Riverwalk to get dinner/drinks beforehand. Download the Pay by Phone parking app in advance. Six hours max is $18.

    RICHARD THOMAS AND THE CAST JUST HIT IT OUT OF THE STADIUM
    "To Kill a Mockingbird" could easily have been the best performance I have seen in my life. The actors were all AMAZING full of passion and no one missed a beat. We were lucky enough to be sitting in the front row and could see their tears and their angst. I have loved this story forever, but this interpretation beats the book and beats the movie hands down. Richard Thomas just killed it. His energy and his ability to transform was most impressive . I'd say John Boy still has it, and still gives it his all! Thank you to the cast and thank you to Broward Center for bringing this gift to us.

    Super Venue
    We have season tickets here for years for the Broadway series. A very good theater with comfortable seats and a very good sound system. Very nice lobby with several bars and some light food. The only problem is the shortage of restrooms

What a wonderful concert with Ambrosia, John Ford Coley, Peter from Player, and the last performer slips my mind, but it was an awesome concert. Hearing the songs that I've listened to for many years, and being in such an awesome Performing Arts building. The Performing Arts Center was a fabulous place and the music sounded great! It was a pleasure to be able to see these bands perform in person. I wouldn't have missed it for anything! What a great night!

Being subscribers for years, we were thrilled to return to see Broadway plays at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. They have an excellent protocol for all attendees.

The venue is great with a very sound system and comfortable seats.

We have been season ticketholders for the Broadway series forever. Fortunately, we have tickets in Row J, sometimes 6 or 8 rows from the stage depending on the performance.

Very good sound system and comfortable seats.

Located in downtown Ft Lauderdale with its own parking garage. Tons of very good restaurants nearby.

"Great Venue"

Went to see a musical at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. Very good sound system and seats. We have been season subscribers for years.

The only negative is the rest rooms, too small for the size of the theater.

Six of us went to see Mean Girls at the Broward Center for the performing arts and had a wonderful time.

The theater is well constructed  and well manned.  We had no difficulty getting checked in and to our seats in spite of a sold out crowd. Seating was good with ample room. Because of the crowds getting in and out we parked a mile away and took Uber to and from. It worked well and saved us money.

The play was a little hard to understand and I noted other people have talked about bad acoustics and that was compounded by a fast talking cast.
