We had an amazing experience here watching the Nutcracker Ballet. The dancers were absolutely fantastic. This is the first ballet me and my wife have seen. So, the moves the performers were able to perform were quite impressive. The theater has a cool design with two balconies. The staff was nice and professional. I'd highly recommend this place and we'll be back for sure!

Every time I come to this venue, I regret it. The design of the place is horrible and there is only one way into many aisles meaning you have to disrupt 12 people to get out or wait an hour to leave. The place is always hot inside and there are sometimes so many kids and people talking that you cant pay attention. I like the COVID vaccine precaution, but then they have a mask mandate but some families think they dont need to follow it. I had 30 people around me without masks for the whole show and no one said anything to them. It was the nutcracker so there were tons of kids that are definitely

The venue is lovely. Great acoustics. Comfortable seats. If you have box seats, be prepared to possibly walk a lot of stairs. Great, close-in parking. Decent traffic flow post performance. Will definitely return.

FOREX INVESTMENT I never believed my life will change in such a manner, i saw a review on a page about Mrs. Sandra Billy and before then i have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because i think i was so wise and never want to be cheated, but when i contacted her and she explained everything to me concerning trading and the profit… i can make within a week i was convinced to give a trial and why i risked to invest 500$ was because i don't need to send her the money but to create and fund my trading account all by myself and give her the access to manage my trading account
