The Hobby Center for the Performing Arts

We took the kids to see Dog Man the musical. My oldest kid is a big reader, and he has the book collection, so we took him to the musical as a surprise. We really enjoyed the show. Easy access to the theater and having valet parking is a plus.

Parking was easily accessible, spaces were not difficult to find. The theater was clean and even seat had a great view of the stage.

I went to see New Jack City recently and the actual show was amazing. Parking at be garage was a breeze. We were running a bit late so we had to park on the roof, but it was fine. All of the staff were helpful in directing us where to go and sit. They had snacks and a full bar. The production was lovely. And I'm not sure if there was an error with the parking garage but as we were leaving, the arm on the gate was left up... so I didn't have to pay. That's a win!

After feeling I got robbed, I still felt generous and gave two stars.

If you plan to attend any of the wonderful performances here, set aside a few seconds to meditate because you may become a victim of robbery. Even before walking through the entrance, I was already down $15 from garage parking. Unfortunately, the only other options are $25 valet service(which is only waived if you drive a LEXUS) or leaving my car somewhere. At least I could get my steps in with the latter of the two. Anyway. Fine. Whatever. The website was transparent about the costs, and I’m more excited about the show. Not a big deal.

Now, here is the reason I’m leaving this review. I had decided to get a drink while enjoying the performance. Before leaving a tip for the nice bartender, a PLASTIC CUP of Prosecco robbed me of about $16. I understand that disposable cups are more practical in this case, and if that’s so, why not just expand the cocktail menu? I’m left wondering if this is actually what the Hobby Center determined as a fair value for what was offered at the underwhelming concession stands.

Two more cups of Prosecco and that could have guaranteed an extra seat on the mezzanine level.

Despite this, I was hugely impressed with Cinderella. It was indeed magical.

MJ Touring was amazing! The orchestra, the band, the artists! Everyone was phenomenal! I really enjoyed the show! Plus my cousin is apart of the cast! She did her thing too!

Saw Sweeney Todd Musical at the Sarofim Hall. The play itself was great!! Our seats were not the best. When we purchased them direct from the Hobby Center website, the seats were not listed as a "limited view." But the view was definitely obstructed. We couldn't see the whole left side of the stage. Not a great experience due to the poor view. Mezzanine row A seat 19 and 20, I do not recommend unless you want a limited view.

I have loved both of the shows I have gone to so far. Absolutely wonderful shows. It's fairly accessible, Ramos and elevators everywhere, and the parking isn't bad. Drinks are a bit expensive, but that is to be expected. Cannot wait for my next visit here.
