We went on a Sunday afternoon for a showing of Dreamgirls. Parking was plenty. The show wasn’t full, but even with a full house, I can’t imagine having a problem parking. However, getting out of the parking lot after the show took some time.The building is beautiful, clean, modern and very well designed. We chose balcony seating due to the price and figured we’d still be able to see the stage from the 2nd row. The view was okay, with minimal interference from the person’s head in front of me. The audio was terrible. No one could understand what they were saying when the orchestra was playing. The music was so loud and the actors really low. It sucked, because I feel like it ruined what could have been a good show. Due to that reason, I’m uncertain whether I would attend another performance here.
Wonderful building, great theater. The flow of people both inside and out works really well. We saw the Mousetrap which was excellent. The only drawback was the security on entering: no outside food or drink (including gum) and other contraband too numerous to mention here. I understand why but it was an unwelcome surprise. But all in all a great evening out.
Black Jack Symphony Rocked the House. The group played the Dark Side of the Moon album plus great hits from Pink Floyd. What a fantastic evening of sights and sounds.
Play was great. The venue not so much...imagine being surrounded by multiple bags of potato chips that crinkle and distract from the play...not an usher in sight...they all split as soon as the play starts so its just terrible to sit thru. Never again
Love this place!! Awesome theater experience...people are friendly and the bar is open..lots of seating for the enjoyment of the show that you are attending...fun fun fun... I recommend it!
Very lovely event space after coming into town. So thrilled that Dennis Assaf helped create such a wonderful building especially after getting kicked out of space at Mulholland Methodist Church years ago. Hes such a wonderful person!
Love the new JPAS Bldg. Easy access off Airline. Huge parking lot.Only bad thing is they keep it COLD in there. If you are cold natured, or dont want to be uncomfortable, definately bring a jacket.
It was fantastic to take my daughter to see Gino Vannelli in a live gig. A master composer who has managed to keep a privileged voice exactly how he had it in his early days 4 decades ago. It was great that this venue allowed for fans to meet Gino and get a pic taken. My daughter was beaming with joy!!
Nice venue. Clean, attractive. Space is very pleasant.
Nice theater. All good seats. Dont bring a pack of gum in your purse you will have to throw it in the trash!
Amazing place. Saw Gino Vannelli last night. Not a bad seat in the house. Staff very attentive and it was really clean.
Beautiful building. Lots of parking. Comfy seats.
Had a great time at the event. JPAC is an excellent facility, staffed by many helpful & friendly people.
Beautiful venue, free parking and easy access. The whole venue is wheelchair accessible. The acoustics are fantastic!
Its great for a concert. Its a beautiful place. The only thing I was disappointed with was they made us wait for 30 minutes before opening the doors for seating.
Really nice that its finally open just need more work on the acoustics
Clean venue. Staff are very responsive to your questions. Overall a great evening.
Beautiful venue. Very clean. Perfect temperature inside
Beautiful with a great sound and acoustics are fantastic. Spacious seating. Excellent
Great venue! The seats could be a lil cushier, but otherwise-- awesome!!
Not a bad seat in the house. A wonderful venue!
Nice venue. Saw the Liverpool Legends there. They were absolutely wonderful. Theres really not a bad seat in the house. I look forward to attending another concert or show there
Nice facility, need more elevators once performance ends or more benches for the elderly waiting fi grey in elevator. The lighting was good but needed help with sound for performance. Theres not a bad seat in the house.
This is a Grand venue, great parking, acoustics outstanding.
Very nice surroundings. Mix up with festival today. Blood Sweat and Tears were GREAT
Twas our first time there. Amazing.
Fantastic venue. Too many stairs.
Seating cramped! The concert group Liverpool Legends was Superb. These guys sounded so much like the Beatles, that with my eyes closed, I couldnt tell it wasnt them. Great talent on their part! Thoroughly enjoyed! Joe C.
An excellent concert venue with great amenities
Great venue and even greater performances.
Saw a dance review here and was not mad....performance was great and so was the seating....thank you Labourdette School of Dance for putting on an amazing show
Saw South Pacific. Was awesome! Music and performances were outstanding! Dont miss it
This threater is beautiful! Red theater interior with black stage. Its perfect!
Great place for local theater.
Very nice venue...easy parking
I had a WONDERFUL time seeing White Christmas here tonight!! Everyone was nice, helpful! The place was absolutely spotless! Cant WAIT to see another performance here!!!
Liverpool legends were like watching the actual Beatles perform. They are talented, funny joked with the audience. The music was right on. I only wished they played LET IT BE.OVERALL I will see them again.
Problems with customer service attitudes. Might reflect on management.
Excellence in the arts at a beautiful venue! Im so glad we made time and made it out in the bad weather for the final day of Tuck Everlasting. It was my first visit to the new venue, and I loved it. The acoustics were amazing! The space definitely rivals performing arts venues of major lities like Atlanta.As for the show, rarely am I left speechless, but the entire production was simply breathtaking. The cast, the choreography, the orchestra, the direction, the talent - along with a beautiful love story - Im so glad we made it out in the bad weather for this wonderful holiday treat! I laughed, I cried and felt every emotion between. I left feeling inspired - and wishing I had kept up my dance lessons! Well done JPAS!-April Hamm, Founder/Director/FacilitatorCenter for Musical Decelopment & Wellness
Lovely facility, good parking, great acoustics, good wheelchair access. The seats were not cramped.
Love this theater small every seat is a good view. Plenty of parking.
This place is newly constructed and is aesthetically pleasing. The ‘Kingfish’ was awesome.
Very nice facility. Nice ladies collecting tickets.
First time visitor. White Christmas was great. We enjoyed the music, the scenery, the acting, and the wonderful performers.
Awesome performance of Annie.
Very nice place. Wonderful theater
Have attended a number of great productions at this exceptional venue, though we left Dream Girls at intermission because the sound was terrible.
Was a very nice place with plenty of good seating and a clear view of the stage. Very impressed with the size and landscaping around the place. Parking and location is great. My only issue, which was stated as policy of the venue, was no outside food or drink allow. Nothing. So the small snacks and drink for our two year old to be able to keep silent during the plays was taken away. Not a huge deal, accept that nothing was offered for sale that would be acceptable for a toddler or small child. Otherwise, very nice place.
We need more popular events here. It was clean, comfortable and theres no such thing as a bad seat.
Beautiful theater! Just gorgeous!
Nice, quaint theater..great for a dance recital
Excellent place to see a play!! Very comfortable.
Great location, plenty of parking and dream girls was awesome from beginning to end..
The Lula Elzy New Orleans Dance TheaterIts All About New OrleansDec 28th8pmGreat Evening Of Music And Dance
Play was so bad we left during intermission. For a new place I was expecting better seats. The theators have more comfortable seats.
Great place to watch plays!
The Krewe of Stars Ball 3 was an excellent affair @ JPAS
Very nice facility and clean. Prices are a bit high, other than that the staging and sound was great.
Best stage n children dance n in play
Always a pleasure no matter what event we attended
The theater was clean. I enjoyed the atmosphere.
Absolutely stunning theater with state of the art facilities and equipment. Love this place
The center has been opened for less than a year so the seats are new too. The acoustics in the theatre are fantastic. The halls have a nouveau rich kinda of feeling to it with large abstract art hanging on the walls. There are elevators and stairs leading to the theatre. It came confusing so use the elevators as your destination/seating area is clearly represented by the elevator buttons e.g. balcony, mezzanine etc. There is also a bar on the ground floor for those interested in buying beverages. Be aware that they do bag searches at the entrance and dont allow food into the building. Water is accepted though as long as it is in a well sealed container.
Nice venue for dance competitions. Parking lot is spacious with ample spaces. Auditorium was nice with good lighting. Chairs were comfortable.
Saw peter pan here! Absolutely amazing performance and great auditorium!
Very spacious and an amazing venue. Staff is very friendly.
Loved watching the practice session, my first time ever.
Its wonderful.
Annie Jr was very awesome. The actors were very talented.
Glad Jefferson Parish has a Theater of Performing Arts Facility.But, in my estimation, its a no-frills facility.No where near enough staff.Ample Parking.
Awesome Performance by the Whole Cast and Crew, I Loved The Show
The atmosphere is so nice and spacious
An under-appreciated treasure in the New Orleans entertainment industry! Great shows at reasonable ticket prices and a BEAUTIFUL, modern facility.
Great venue. Easy parking and access. Look forward to going to more events there.
Top-notch live performance venue. Great performances augmented by new state of the art facility. Plenty of nearby free parking, too!
Performance space is very good with good views. Very up and down access to the theater. Bring a jacket, very cold in the performance space.
The venue was great. However, the Technical Director was out of control. We had props backstage and she wanted them out of the area immediately after our group danced. She didnt care if we had to reuse the prop for another dance. She harassed teachers as well as the competition staff who all thought she was out of control. Need new technical director to run the place. Wont be back!
Although new, the sound system malfunctioned badly. I was on 2nd row & still couldnt hear the performers. Also, the seating were uncomfortable. Weird bathroom logistics only on one side of building. I wont be returning.
Really professional acting. Comfortable seating. A real treat.
Saw the last performance of Dream Girls it was like seeing a Broadway production. Cant say enough great things about it!
Wonderful design
My First Time Being There. The place is beautiful and easy to get to. Dont bring in any food they will take it away from you.
It was clean, the atmosphere was awesome.
Had a great time at the jazz concert
