The Smith Center

What a gorgeous Art Deco building. I'm always in awe when we stop by TSC for a show. It feels clean, well maintained, and well managed. The employees are always very helpful and kind. I particularly like that there is adequate warning to find your seats in time (flickering lights, 5 min bell) So far we've seen Mrs. Doubtfire the musical, Shrek the musical, and Neil Degrasse Tyson speak. All were phenomenal. There's pretty much no bad view in the house. Restrooms are typically clean, albeit you may have to wait in a bit of a line during intermission. The refreshments stand is also a nice addition for those who forgot to bring a snack or some water. Parking is also relatively easy and affordable at $6.00 in the surrounding garages if you get there ahead of your scheduled show. I believe our valet parking was only $20 when we were running late. It's a short walk from the garages to TSC, which is another big positive, especially for those with kids or mobility issues.

The Smith Center is great. The one star is for Shen Yun. I got caught up in the hype of "you must see this show at least once." No you don't have to see it once. Had I known this was akin to a cult putting on a talent show I never would have gone. They constantly tell you to not take pictures and if you're caught you'll be removed. I see why now. They don't want the truth out. I really felt bad because by the end of the show I totally agreed with China that Shen Yun should be banned. I still don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I would have posted this on a Shen Yun review thread but I couldn't find one.

My friend invited me to a live speaker show here and gave me a tour of the venue. I definitely enjoyed the tour and the show. It was National Geographic "Wild Cats Revealed" and I learned many things I didn't know about. The showroom itself was impressive with stadium like seatings. The chandeliers were beautiful. The elevators were clean and modern. Seats were plenty and comfy. The only drawback is that we have to park in the garage and pay for parking and there's no food allow in showroom I look forward to coming back here for other shows

We had another enjoyable evening at the Nutcracker, but we were very disappointed that they no longer sell hot cocoa at the intermission (only before the show) and no longer allow you to take the hot cocoa into the theater even in the theater cups.... This was a big disappointment as it's our tradition and was something we were looking forward to.

I went to the Smith Center to see Boney James on Saturday night. I parked at the Promenade garage across the street for a reasonable 6.00 (I was happy they weren't trying to price gouge) and made the short walk to the Smith Center. The Smith Center is a beautiful venue but confusing to navigate. However, the staff was helpful and friendly in directing me to my seat. I didn't take any photos, but the inside of the Smith Center, with its upscale setup, provided many excellent photo opportunities. Boney James performed an hour and 45-minute set, and I enjoyed the show. I would return to the Smith Center again, and I highly recommend it!

Always have a good time here, from special events to show performances. There's actually no bad seating inside, even on the very edge of the theater, still pretty good views. Easy parking access and there are couple of coffee spots nearby for before or after chilling.

Saw another great musical production at this venue (Shrek). This theater is beautiful, comfortable and staff is friendly and helpful. Parking is $6 and refreshments are reasonable (you can bring drinks into theater during show). The only thing I wish they would change is the ability to download your tickets into google wallet instead of going to to your wallet by logging into the Smith's Centers website (would make it easier to retrieve tickets). Overall, we had another great experience.

Eric Darius is one of the most talented, exciting, entertaining and skillful saxophonist I've ever seen. His stage presence coupled with his ability to connect with the crowd was phenomenal. Throughout the night's performance, he worked the entire room as he walked while playing and entertaining everyone. He manipulated the saxophone masterfully as he mesmerized the crowd with jazz, R&B and soulful tunes. The venue was beautiful. It was a nice size offering guests a real intimate experience. Servers ensured all guests drink orders were fulfilled and did so, Without obstructing anyone's view. The concert started promptly at 8pm and ended 90 minutes later (as promised). The concert was amazing as was the venue.

In December 2023, we had the pleasure of attending The Nutcracker at The Smith Center for the first time, and it certainly won't be our last. Opting to splurge on box seats added an extra layer of luxury to our experience. A pro tip for future attendees: aim for the first row in the box seats. The subsequent rows come with elevated seating, and the last row even features high bar stools, which, in my opinion, detracts from the overall comfort.Despite the seating nuances, we found ourselves thoroughly enchanted by the production of The Nutcracker. The atmosphere was heightened by the sight of everyone elegantly dressed, creating a sense of collective enjoyment for this timeless ballet.Overall our visit to The Smith Center for The Nutcracker was a delightful experience, and we're already looking forward to our return. The enchanting ambiance, coupled with the allure of a first-row box seat, has left us eager to make this an annual tradition.Big shoutout to Justin Moore at the Ticketing and Box Office for helping us out with an ordering mistake. You saved us! Thank you!

Best concert venue in town!We've seen a number of various musicians there. Great acoustics; bring your kids!!!
