E.J. Thomas Hall - The University Of Akron

My first visit to EJ Thomas for the Cirque Holidaze Dreams show. Absolutely magical. Both the show and the hall were gorgeous with Christmas decorations and finery. Convenient parking garage attached. Full bar with reasonable prices! Seats are roomy. It's big enough to hold a crowd but small enough to still feel intimate. Tons of folks to help direct you and find your seat but the seating is logically laid out so you can also manage on your own. I will look for other shows to attend. It's a wonderful venue.

We purchased front row center seats in the balcony because we wanted to sit in the center of the front row in the balcony. IMMEDIATELY after scanning my tickets I got told we have something better for you and was given different tickets than my mobile tickets I already scanned. I argued and they sent me to those seats anyway. Upon checking them, I returned back to the person and said no I paid for balcony front row in the center. You're trying to put me all the way to the right in the last row up against the wall on the bottom level. The workers then in a very snarky tone said go upstairs to your seats then and you can scream all you want up there. On our way we were stopped by another person trying to give us "a better view". Once at the entrance for our level someone else tried to get us to get different seats and then when we were sitting someone ELSE tried to "upgrade" our seats. If you don't want people on your balcony, don't sell balcony tickets.

Very nice venue. Went and seen Blue Man Group there. Good leg room. My only gripe was if you sitting on Right side, you lose about 1/4 sight of the stage

The plays are wonderful the building is cold concrete . Bathrooms should be on every floor but no , you must travel down into a basement area to go the bathroom it's ridiculous. My husband likes to come early to get good parking he can't walk far, there is plenty of space for seating but they put out 5 tables and one without seating. There are some couches but never enough seating for the people there and the flying balcony on the third floor sits empty most of the time , because we are not elites. I love the plays but dislike the building more thought should have been put into making it comfortable and welcoming , the pic is at intermission you can't afford to travel down if your on the third floor with a 25 minute intermission.

Love the venue, always have, ever since I tended bar there in the 90's. Hasn't changed much since then, but still has a lot of appeal. Acoustics are phenomenal, and all the seats have great views. I wish the show was better, but not the hall's fault. Nostalgia still wins out here.

Elton and Billy Piano Men - tribute was incredible. Had a great time. The band was as good as being at the real concert. The audience sang along with each song as both artists have such an everlasting song list.

Nice, smaller auditorium. Sat on the floor level. Great seats. Lots of leg room. Great acoustics. Large hallways and large bathrooms. A very comfortable place.

I'm unsure how to write this review. The show we saw tonight was Rent. It was absolutely fantastic! However, the seats were extremely small and it was so hot in there. I actually had too get up and leave the show a few times. I understand this is a college. However, when someone pays $89 a piece for tickets to a show. You'd think you'd try to make them comfortable, or lower your ticket prices.

This is a great place it has all kinds of concert and plays and performances. I would recommend this place to everyone. Today they are having a tuba Christmas concert and its wonderful. Not only are they playing different Christmas music but the audience gets to sing with them. This is just a wonderful experience.

I visited E.J. Thomas Hall over the holidays on a trip to Cleveland to see Tuba Christmas. Even though there were tons and tons of people, we were still able to six seats together in the center up pretty high. We could hear every really clearly and see the entire stage. It's an older auditorium, but we had a pleasant experience there. If you get a chance to check out Tuba Christmas, you definitely should. It was a really unique experience.
