Seen a, was easy 2 find & very clean,good parking area

We were in top corner but actually loved the seats. You dont have to stand each time someone comes and goes. We could see the whole stage albeit distantly but with a big production it worked.

Clowes is a nice hall to catch a play, speaker, etc.I recently went to see a stand-up comedian and the acoustics of the hall lent itself to the performance wonderfully.Things to Note:- Parking garage is approximately 100 yards from the hall. Not hateful to get in or out of.- Seats are reasonably comfortable. Nothing overly fantastic, but if youre tall your knees wont be digging into the seat in front of you.- There was an open bar that took credit card. Drinks were served in reusable cups and there were drink holders on the back of the seats. (Not sure if this is available for every performance - Id call the hall before hand if youre hoping to have an open bar at your event.)Overall, this was a nice experience. Definitely planning on visiting again as there was a really good line up scheduled for the first half of 2020.

One of the best theaters ever built, but Im biased. I work there.Continental seating means lots of leg room.

Very clean and easy to navigate, the staff was helpful on directing us where to go. Its comfortable and bathrooms are nice. Paid parking is close. Will definitely be going to shows here in the future without hesitation. Will try to sneak in my own snacks/candy as the concessions were expensive!

How is it that a $11ticket turns into a $50 ticket. Our seats were directly behind what they were charging $50 for. Prices increase due to the weekend we were told. We were able to get the $11seats together. Was plenty of empty seats next to me. Feel this is taking advantage of the consumer. Play was great and very funny.

This is one of the best venues for the arts in the city! Its small enough that all of the seats have a great view, but big enough to handle most concerts. And the slope is perfect, you dont have to move back and forth to see around the head in front of you!

I took my grand daughter for her special birthday to see Baby Shark. She had a great time. It was our first time there and was amazed at how beautiful it was. There is not a bad seat there. Will go back to see other shows and will highly recommend to anybody. Thank you to all who worked there for being so welcoming and nice.

We saw a guest speaker here. The place was decent. Bathroom rooms were clean. There was food and beverage for sale but we did not purchase any.Please hit thumbs up if this review was helpful. Thank you! :)

This is Indys better venue for watching big shows, but be aware that its also bigger than your average Broadway theater. That means you could be sitting quite a bit further away from the stage that your ticket might lead you to believe.As with any crowded venue, make sure to use the restrooms before the show starts because youll be standing in line for a very long time otherwise. The acoustics are mostly fine, but keep in mind that youre mostly getting traveling casts with mics anyway.I have not been here for other non-broadway concerts, so YMMV.

Needs to have aisles on main floor seating. In an emergency, people would never all make it out. Ticket procurement =very poor service. Telephone personnel lie, or just plain dont know about what they are speaking.

Great venue. Acoustics are good. Facility is classic.

Apparently they recently added security and are utterly unprepared to handle crowds now. When people complained that 1/3 of the crowd was still lined down the street 10 minutes after the show started, ushers simply shrugged and said should have been here an hour in advance. But at least the theater is safe from rogue snacks.

We only visit once a year, or every other year to see the Nutcracker Ballet. It has become a wonderful tradition when we can afford it. Staff is friendly. The only problem we have ever had was finding parking, but now they have a new parking garage! Pricey, but worth it, especially in the winter. The only other problem, some years ago an usher took us to our seats. At the break, we were told to move. Turned out 1st usher read our tickets wrong. The couple who had those seats were pretty nasty about it, even though it wasnt our fault. When quickly got up and we got to our real seats our view was even better!Still, I would never choose the box seats. Its difficult to see well from there. Also on the right side of the hall, there is one aisle seat that the view of the stage is completely blocked by a support structure. Very upsetting they would charge this seat the same as one of the expensive seats since you cannot see around it at all. Butlers Nutcracker is a great tradition (as long as you have a good seat) The ballerinas are exquisite. Each year they do a few things differently so its exciting to see what little surprises they put in each year. So it never gets boring even if you go every single year.

It was absolutely a blessing beautiful place, seeing CC Winer she was a inspirational I had such a beautiful beautiful uplifting time being there with my client and my Niece Dinicia.

This is a great theater to see a performance. Seats are comfortable! Staff were very helpful. We loved PJ Masks Live!

A beautiful theatre. We had a cheap price for great tickets and that certainly helped.

We just went for a Tap Pack show. Parking in the garage was an expensive $10 but it was soo close to the Hall that I cant complain too much. I enjoy how many doors there are to the seating areas - keeps bottlenecks from occuring. Staff at each door to tell you if its the closest to your tickets seat or if not where to go. Very helpful. Clean facility, easy to navigate.

Easy parking in the garage and easy entry. They need more concessions at intermission. Was in line for 20 min and still not served before the 2nd act started.

I always enjoy my visits to Clowes. Today was no exception. Much laughter filled the Hall.

The Hall is always great. The Louisville Ballet tool my breath away. Outstanding music, creative choreography, a splendid dance performance.

So I went to Clowes for a school field trip. It was for a presentation rather than a play. Our field trip was disorganized but Clowes staff was not. They had diagrams of where each school was to sit, numerous ushers and were very nice & helpful. Id love to go back for a play sometime on my own.

I love Clowes Memorial Hall. The Butler grounds are always beautifully manicured. The lobby areas are very well maintained, in addition to the bathrooms. The seats are extremely comfortable and the spacing is not confining. There really is not a bad seat inside the venue, which is always pristine. The acoustics are that of a Broadway Theater. The people in the Box Office, are always friendly, helpful and very patient about answering questions and when you are trying to select seating. My only complaints are the entertainment chosen for performances, could be more diverse, appealing to a wider demographic; and if some of the childrens school age performances, could be on Saturday and Sunday, not just during the day.

Another great educational matinee and experience. Wonderful venue and outstanding selection of shows. Serving the arts in Indianapolis and central Indiana since 1963

Wonderful acoustics and there isnt a bad seat in the auditorium. Also, a great selection of events to watch. Ive seen Rain and Rent there; would recommend both!

Nice theatre. Medium sized, and best visual aspect from any seat in the house compared to the other theatres Ive been to. Seating is comfortable with leg room and lower seats so that short peoples feet can touch the floor. Modern with ample restrooms. Parking garage right behind building with traffic officers aiding the exit of the garage afterward. On Butler University campus. Fairly easy access to Interstate.

Excellent traveling production. Not sure Id make it but so glad I did. Wish all Indy Broadway series were there.

Always love to come here for a show. Seats are comfortable, sound is great, and for the most part, the seats are spread out so even if you have a few basketball players sitting in front of you, you can still see the stage. This might be less true in the rows closer to the front, but in my experience Ive always been able to enjoy the shows here.

Really beautiful, large venue on campus. Saw a show from the nosebleeds and it was still excellent seating and a great play.

Loved the art show. Did you know you can visit the lobby gallery during the week? It didnt even have to be when they have a performance.

Had an excellent time! Great venue that I cant recommend highly enough! Ill definitely be coming back. Great seats all around!

One of our favorite venues to catch a show! They bring in an awesome variety of concerts, musicals, and talks. Seats are comfortable. Service is great.

Saw My Brother My Brother and Me perform and it was EXCELLENT. The people guiding you to your seats were very helpful and the theater was very nice. The lines for bathroom and drinks got a little ridiculous but overall it was a very nice venue. There are a few more shows coming up I will be attending here as well. The parking garage was very conveniently located and was $10 cash only for event parking.

Ive always have loved Clowes Hall. Ive taken several of my students there for field trips. The theater is beautiful!

Great venue to see a show. Comfortable seating. Great acoustics.

Great seats throughout the house, however the design is o e wide row. If you have seats in the middle of the theater (left to right), get there early or you’ll crawl over everyone.

Nice venue. Staff could be tad more polite. Handicapped parking is oddly laid out. It gets worse in inclement weather.

Great acoustics. All the seats are great. Fairly easy in and out.

Nice venue, terrible drink service the night of our show. Took so long to get people through the drink line that we missed the opening act and 5 minutes of the main act.

Very accommodating when buying tickets. Diverse entertainment options and the facilities are great.

First time since grade school to see a production. The Play that Goes Wrong is absolutely hilarious and Im glad we went out to see it.The only thing I recommend is to Uber/Lyft if it is within your means. We waiting in the parking garage for an hour upon exit due to vehicle congestion. Thats on is though for getting there 10 minutes before call and parking on the 4th level. Plan accordingly.

Show was great, venue was great, my only problem is with the seat comfort and no center aisle.

Even though in last row in top balcony still great views and sound.

The seats are comfortable. The floor in the theater is concrete. The theater has painted reddish walls. We saw Rock of Ages which was fantastic. I felt that the stage was kind of small. Indianapolis doesnt have many places for plays.

Excellent venue. Perfect for any concert or event. Staff are wonderful and friendly. Parking conveniently located near the hall.

Ive seen two shows here and both were great. The drinks/snacks were pricey but I expect most theater halls are that way.

Tao Drum Performance. Excellent!!!

A beautiful facility, but they could use more restrooms. I greatly enjoyed Mannheim Steamroller.

Went in to buy tickets for an upcoming show from the box office. Fast, friendly service and so much cheaper than going through ticketmaster.

Great venue for shows, concerts & lectures. Of course what you go to see & hear will dominate how much you like the experience.

Well is a childrens show about dinosaurs they loved it and I love that they enjoy

Great acoustics, comfortable seating, and very helpful staff/volunteers.

Always great to see a performance here. Please mark this thumbs up if this was helpful!

Great place for entertainment. Come From Away was outstanding!

I still think its one of the best venues in the state

Very convenient parking garage directly behind the facility. Efficient security checks and scan in. Seating is spacious with plenty of legroom. Very clean venue. Staff helpful and friendly.

Very nice place to take in a show. $10 for a mixed drink...ouch!

What a fantastic place! Clean, organised, a memorable night!

Beautiful auditorium in the heart of Indy. Located on Butler Universitys beautiful campus, this large auditorium is a great place for any and all stage productions, from comedy to Broadway musicals.

Great service and theatre. Chairs are a little small and not much space to walk passed folks. The do in fact recycle their cups but on a large scale for the whole school of Butler. We had concerns, but they hunted us down to explain since we didnt get a straight answer about recycling the first time. I love their support of the LGBTQ+ community and the big names and shows they bring in.

Beautiful theatre, friendly and helpful staff. Mixed drinks are $10

Clowes is a great facility for events. Went and saw Fluffy preform. There is not a seat in the house you cant see what is going on. Security could use a bit more training on how to handle certain events. Learn from my faults. Event parking is available but cash only and drinks are cash only as well. Had a great time and would defenantly go back for future events.

Really good venue even in the cheap seats all the way in the back at the top. Good view. Could hear everything on stage just fine. Have been here a few times for different shows and really like this venue. Parking isnt bad though it can take about 15 mins to exit due to all the traffic. At least there is a policeman to help direct traffic heading out.

Staff was patient and willing to accommodate sometimes. Dont take your kids sippy cups with water or juice, they make you pour them out for a PinkFong event. Really?

Good old theater venue. A little difficult if youre seat is in the middle due to no center aisle. Also I was a little annoyed that they sat people after the performance started. Clowes does draw great shows with amazing talent.

Great place to see a show, Broadways and all.

Very nice venue. Theres not a bad seat in the house!

Clowes Hall has been a top of the line entertainment venue since the day it opened.

Good views, clean ampitheater, comfortable seating.

Great theater with phenomenal sound quality

I saw FAR FROM AWAY very good

Went with the kids for a Christmas show. Was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the performance and the venue. Typically I stop by CCM, but this year there schedule didnt work for us. I definitely will come again next year if they have a new show.The things outside of the show that stood up for me were a coat room, children boosters and a bar for the parents.

Nice and roomy. Three balcony levels. Nice wide seats. It lacks the charm of a true old time theater

Enjoy special programs I go to see and hear

Stately theater on the lush greene of Butler University. No complaints, good parking adjacent to the building. Nothing in particular stands out...

Great venue for performing arts of any kind!

We saw the Play that went wrong!!! We had an awesome experience!!!! Thank you

Nice Hall. Intimate feel, but still classy.

Another awesome community event.

Lovely performance space. Good acoustics. Close parking.

Very nice theater, had a great time!

Great performance of Come From Away!

Great venue to see a show. If you park in the sunset garage, getting out after the show is a big pain. You can look for street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods and then walk to the venue.They typically have metal detectors to get into the show so plan ahead and leave some extra time to account for that.

Comfortable seats and a good view of the stage.

Great for any venueThere are no bad seats!

The theater is beautiful. The view is great from just about every seat. The concessions are as expected. The selections are average and the prices are inflated. For two waters, a can of Pepsi, and three candy bars the total was $20. The only downfall of the night was the constant flashing strobe lights from the ushers. The second anyone got out their camera or phone to attempt a non flash picture, the ushers were there to give them(and everyone around them) a bright and intrusive scolding. This was much much more interruptive then simply allowing the taking of a picture. So be warned.

The view was great from any seat.

Nice entry. Great acoustics.

Beautiful theatre with kind and helpful staff. Adjacent parking garage is a big help for sold out events, however traffic coordination on the road leading in could be better managed.

My favorite place in Indianapolis to see live theatre.

Nice venue, attended a graduation. Roomy seats not a bad view of the stage from any seat

Parking structure was very nearby. Even with the low temperatures the walk was quick and comfortable. The building itself is very well kept and modernized. We saw a comedian on tour here and the sound system was fantastic. Im unsure who supplied the lighting but it was very well done. Two complaints, the Male restrooms are all upstairs and they had signs up stating upstairs were closed. Also the seating rows are much closer together than other venues Ive been too. If someone wants to leave the aisle the aisle has to stand up, there is no scooching by and brushing knees. Others have to physically stand up and press themselves against the back of the seats.

Easy access and egress and comfortable temps in between

Ive seen countless productions here, and they never disappoint. Friendly, generous staff, good price-point on wine, and theres not a bag seat in the house. ️

Great show!

Awesome performance by CeCe, excellent customer service!!

It was easy to see and easy to hear. This picture is from the very last row on the lower level.

Pretty nice place! With a nice stage and pretty good sound for the orchestra.

Great performance. Beautiful building. All seats are good. Art displayed throughout. Wonderful experience.

I came with a group of four to see “The Book of Mormon”. We arrived 15-20 minutes early to the show only to be met with a line that wrapped around the building and all the way back past and around the parking lot. It’s not the fact that I minded security - However, they didn’t have enough security there to keep the line moving quickly - Nor did they postpone starting the show (even though there were at least 300 people standing outside at 7:30 when the show was supposed to start) instead of postponing the show they started the show. Causing many people to miss at least half of the first act.—UPDATE:After speaking with staff at the theater they were very apologetic and understanding for the situation, and did everything that they could to make up for the poor expirence. Great customer service.
