Tennessee Performing Arts Center

TPAC never lets me down! I've been a ton, especially over the last year, and every experience has been fantastic--great shows, lovely acoustics, and a well-run venue. I do wish the parking situation was easier and cheaper in downtown Nashville. I also wish TPAC's seats and aisles were a bit more spacious, but the quality of the performances always makes up for it.

We love TPAC. I highly recommend getting the Broadway season tickets. You save money and you set up several great date nights. My wife and I love TPAC. they are very well organized. We are second year, season tickets holders and we look forward to every show. It's a great night out!

As a season ticket holder, I strive to attend as many shows as I can. Even though my seats are positioned quite a distance from the stage, I don’t believe this diminishes the overall experience. After four years of holding tickets, I have never been disappointed by any of the performances we've seen. All in all, the atmosphere is fantastic—clean, comfortable, and definitely worth the cost.

This was my first time and as an autistic person with an autistic child going to anything with lots of people, sound and commotion is really overwhelming. They made it so much easier in many ways. My only complaint is when I called ahead to ask about parking and valet it was communicated that at 5pm there would be valet if I choose to pay $45. Which I did plan to do because my son elopes and struggles with longer walks to a destination. The loud sounds, and everything overwhelms him and me but I can usually suffer through it. Anyway, it was almost 5pmI let my husband and daughter out because she was having big anxiety about missing the show and I thought I'd still be able to valet. Around 5:07 I circled and still nothing so I asked security which they told me there would be no valet. At this point I am already overwhelmed and overstimulated with a screaming autistic 3 year old in the background. I just fell apart and cried. I hated that I got so emotional and was so embarrassed but in kindness they offered to let me park up front and helped me back in. I did not expect or ask for that to happen they just took care of us. Change in plans are usually not this dramatic but the thought of getting him from a far away parking spot alone at night without a stroller or something to keep him safe was terrifying. I also have muscle weakness in my right arm so wrangling him is painful and really hard to do alone without the appropriate things which I didn't have because I was planning to valet. I did check the website but I got confused with some of the language and wording so that is why I called to confirm all the details. But seriously it was great. The only other thing is we were told they'd have a sensory room as well and when asked I was told that wasn't a thing. But overall it was a great experience I just wish some of the communication was clearer and more accurate. Thanks!

Step Afrika performance was awesome! Typical theater seating. Enjoyed the atmosphere. However in the Polk Theater, if you have seats at the very front of the stage AA-CC, it may be challenging because it sits level to slightly below the stage so for some not so tall it may be challenging to see as the speakers on stage may block view. Perhaps the first row of the main section would be better.
