"My husband and I went to see Gary Allan in the Moran Theater. The venue was nice entrance was genuinely easy, was directed to the elevator and we found our seats easy enough. We sat at Box 6 the reason I give a 5 is because trying to see from my seat I had to angle and maneuver my wheelchair so I could see the stage. Over all good experience compared to other showes and venues downtown."

"Wonderful center, have already come to Broadway musicals many times and it is a total delight. Especially impressed by the musical Anna and Elsa from the cartoon Frozen heart . My daughter loved it! The hall is clean, cool, without excessive odors. The seats are comfortable enough. The staff is very nice and helps the audience to take the right seats. Recommended!"
