Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall

Nice venue with plenty of parking

Smaller venue, nice parking lot. All seats seem to be pretty good. There is room for improvement. They only opened the doors about 30 minutes before the performance. So it is hard to get through the lobby with the security screening and people trying to buy merchandise and beverages. The setup of seating in the auditorium is strange. There is no center aisle, so you either approach the seats from the left or right. The seat numbers are also duplicated. So row 22 would have a seat 12 left and a seat 12 row right. If the usher does not catch this, the person in the wrong seat has to walk past 40 plus people to get to the correct seat. Then if someone gets up to go to the bathroom, you all have to get up to let them out. If the seating arrangement was better I would rate it a 5

Hassle Parking

Parking an absolute mess. Holds 850 cars, theater seats 1700 people- no center isle. You can’t get there early enough. Frustrated late arrivals interrupting your enjoyment. Great entertainment, not worth the hassle
