What a beautiful performing arts center nestled in the heart of Miami. We were lucky enough to see Hamilton there for our first show and it was amazing. The volunteers and staff were all very pleasant. It doesnt appear there would be a bad seat anywhere in the house.They have these wonderful boosters for the children or even shorter people to sit upon so you can guarantee seeing over someone tall in front of you. Valet parking was conveniently located right at the front. The only challenge is at the end of the performance, the line for vehicles was quite long and the communication was a bit poor. We were unaware we had to check in inside the venue to retrieve our vehicle.All in all, this was a wonderful venue and we look forward to seeing more shows there.

The Adrienne Arsht Center is by far Miami’s most premier performing arts venue. From its early days in the mid 2000s to now, The Arsht Center always manages to host entertaining plays, operas, ballers, comedians, orchestras, and more. I love the fact that this venue not only offers a wide variety of art forms, but also offers smaller scale individual acts, comfortable seating, reasonably priced concession stands, and the parking situation isn’t a nightmare. All in all, the Arsht Center is worth a visit for locals and tourists alike.

One of my favorite theatres in the world. Been aPatron since the doors opened. Sound is great,Sight lines impeccable and a glorious staff. So sorry for what everyone involved in the theatre community is going thru. Breaks my heart. Seeyou in 2021. God willing.

Wonderful house of performance. Love every minute there. Inside is really outstanding. Just think the $30 dollars valet is very expensive.

Saw Hamilton here and it was great. The Arsht center provides fantastic view from seemingly everywhere. The concessions are pricey but most places are (shows, concerts, sporting events,etc.) They do allow you to bring 1 water bottle per person inside.Make sure if you plan to eat at the outdoor cafe Books & Books, make a reservation! One guy lost his mind yelling and screaming because they were fully booked and he couldnt get a table. They tell you over and over leading up to show date that reservations are required on show dates.

Facility is clean and beautiful. Box was large and allowed us to relax. Unfortunately, fire alarm went off during Hamilton and staff was woefully unprepared to deal with it. After waiting around and with zero communication, finally everyone was sent home without allowing the show to conclude.

Got to see Sweeney Todd in the Carnival Theater and inside its very small, which makes the whole experience a lot more intimate and very very fun. If you get the chance to go see Sweeney Todd while its still there or any other show at Adrienne Arsht, theyre all absolutely phenomenal. The Knight Center is almost the size of the American Airlines Arena and its GORGEOUS. I got to see two Harry Potter showings there and they were both super fun as well! Highly recommend

Beautifully designed opera house with great acoustics and large seating capacity. Saw Hamilton there and was totally impressed by the venue.

Went here to see Hamilton which was great. We arrived early to get some refreshments and Im extremely upset with the service. Everything was fine until we ordered and the French gentleman behind the bar got our drinks and used a tablet for the transaction. While paying I noticed the bartender already pre selected a 25% tip for the order and just asked for a signature real quick. I find this very shady and I do not accept service industry workers trying to set there own tips. I hope that to many people didnt get caught over tipping when they did not wish to. Not sure if I will return due to this issue which puts a bad taste in my mouth.

Went to see the New World symphony perform and the venue is first class. Had great seats and really enjoyed our evening. They have valet parking or nearby lots and garages. Just wish there were some nearby restaurants or lounges to spend some time either before or after events to let the crowds thin out.

The ushers were very helpful to ensure everyone got to their seats in an orderly fashion. Monitored doors during each scene. I wasnt thrilled with the concession options, but that wasnt the purpose of the visit. I went to see Lion King. The show was amazing. That greatly contributed to my rating.

Aww Hamilton here. Super well organized and nice staff. The restaurant outside thats connected to this place isnt that good and severely overcharges the food isnt good or flavorful. I like the art center for sure. The acoustics were great and great view even from where I was sitting. Parking is close and cheap which is great, If you know Miami you know what I mean.

Review №17

The performance I watched in the Adrienne Arsht Center Concert Hall was beautiful! It was fairly large, however, not as large as their Opera Hall. The acoustics were very nice! I would definitely come here again!! The only thing I could say about it though, is that the chairs are close together and share armrests which, if you are going alone, is rather uncomfortable. Other than that, I loved the hall!

This Concert location is in Miami.. The Show was a Gospel event for family and friends.. Seating area is Huge,, The building limited is 5000 or more. The parking lot is limited and Customers can pay with credit cards or Cash.. The employees are friendly and helpful. Customers can purchase food items while attending the Event.. Their restrooms are clean and handicap accessible. Preforming Events are held each month.

The entire hall was well thought out. If you are in the Orchestra anywhere it is a good seat. The stage seems medium sized but still packs quite a punch. The cleanliness is wonderfully maintained and all the staff were kind and professional.

Was ripped off by the venue. They never delivered tickets purchased and then blatantly lied to my credit card company when I disputed the charge for not receiving what I paid for. Very corrupt company that will stoop to any low to make a buck. What a shame

Review №24

My experience here was wonderful. The show was great and the staff was always ready to help someone. I do wish that the organization in seating moved forward quicker since it did cause a bit of a delay in the starting of the concert but other than that, everything was great. The stage was captivation, the sound was always on point, and the overall delivery was magnificent. I look forward to every event I attend to at this center.

I absolutely enjoy going to the Adrienne Arsht Center. The performances that we have an opportunity to see now are world class. Last night was perhaps the best piano concert I have ever experienced. Olga Kern played Tchaikovsky’s 1st piano concerto magnificently accompanied by the National Orchestra of Ukraine. Awesome

Got tickets to Hello Dolly. The Broadway Musical show was amazing. I really enjoyed the roles played. One of my favorite movie when Barbara Steisand played that role back in the days of my growing up. Very nice place to take someone on a date or just see something spectacular. Art is a never ending story and can be interpreted in so many ways. Variety of shows, plays, and musical themes to enjoy.

My daughter won the Hamilton lottery and they gave us the worst seats in the house. When I asked them to right things, as I havent heard much of anything about people getting bad lottery seats (theaters seem to usually want lottery winners to have a great experience), they told me there was nothing they could do and that lottery seats are assigned randomly. I know I should be happy I got to go at all, but the experience just made me more bitter than I already am, which is a feat in itself--trust me.

I actually came here for the Farmers Market on Monday evenings. I was very impressed with the vendors and learned so much. I learned that even tho i was buying the expensive raw honey at the store, it was still fake. I gladly boughy some of the purest quality of Honey from Honi Lifestyle, a local bee farm. Nishas is always the best pit stop because they are so generous with their samples but only because you cant resist to buy something to die for! I was surprised with the coconut water stand and decided to try it- best decision Ive made. I will never buy vitacoco and other polluted overpriced coconut water again. I was also impressed by this little quaint dinner happening in the middle of the market under the tree shade. Turns out, the cafe inside the Book store serves a lovely meal outside!

Very nice place. Located in the heart of Downtown Miami. The theater is really big inside. Unfortunately the sound system was not installed at the higher level. I bought last minute so I literally had the last row on top. The view was horrible and I couldnt barely hear. I was bent over the entire time. The actors looked tiny. Make sure to get seats toward the front section.

Facilities are good. Customer service and accountability at lacking. They received over 3,000 phone calls asking to end, refund, or cancel the a play showing during the pandemic. They refused despite acknowledging the health concerns and risks. Meanwhile all other large gatherings are closed. Ignoring patrons for a nights profits ensures I wont renew membership.

I am always at awe when I’m invited to see a show at Adrienne Arsht. This center will always be on my major list of philanthropy endeavors as they are deeply INVESTED in making certain they contribute back to their community, both near and far as I reside very south of the center, yet they never cease to amaze me on how heavily they are involved in helping disadvantaged youth, and other endeavors. Their donors are amazing people as well, most notable the Green Foundation and the Atkins family (there are many more) who not only donate, but come to enjoy the fruit of their labor. I love this place!

Review №54

The main center for Performing Arts for Miami-Dade stands in proximity of the culture corridor and located near downtown Miami, FL; the Adrienne Arsht Center is one of the largest performing arts centers in the United States, designed by Argentian architect Cesar Pelli.Pros: very pleasant experience for watching a performance. The service and staff is great and overall the theater is lovely. Great place for the community to join together and engage is diverse experiences.Cons: parking is located separately from the building and requires crossing sometimes busy streets that often need to be patrolled for pedestrian safety. Consider valeting your car for easiest access.

Earlier this month I watched the Miami City Ballets performance of George Balanchines The Nutcracker. The ballet was held at the Ziff Opera and Ballet House and the venue was absolutely stunning. The lobby area outside of the theater was beautiful. The inside of the theater was impressive and so clean. I would definitely consider booking tickets for future events at this venue.

Went to See James Comey! The venue is beautiful but way too strict bringing Bottle Water, cost $5 bucks for a Bottle of water.Staff was friendly but no pictures allowed.Parking around the area is plentiful.

Review №60

Great experience while visiting for a show. The one thing to keep in mind is local traffic. Make sure you arrive with plenty of time to find parking for your vehicle, and if you plan to valet, be aware of the high cost and the time it will still take to get through the line. Keep in mind The center is very close to the arena where the Miami Heat play, so if you’re visiting during basketball season, and there is a game, traffic will be even heavier than usual.

It was great as always, cannot complain with the great service the team puts together. On another note, they should stop selling anything in plastic bags. People have to dig their hands inside the bag until the last sound comes out of it looking for the last tiny piece of food!!! Disrupting the audience, no respect at all.

I loved Hamilton 2nd time Ive seen this show. This time the acoustics were better (saw it at a different venue the first time). Being deaf in 1 ear means this was EXTREMELY important to me. The seats were comfortable. Location clean. Valet ALWAYS on hand to ensure that even if youre running late, you can just run inside from the door and your car will be taken cared of. The show as usual blew me away. Still tearing up thinking about it.This cast had so much fun on stage!!!!! Bryson Bruce as Jefferson/Lafayette took the show. Only in Miami can you find such a fun cast with SSSSOOOOOO MUCH PERSONALITY!

Review №92

I give the actual center 5 stars however I must rate 3 due to the valet service they use...We went to see lion king on broadway 5/21/19. We paid for valet parking thinking not only would the venue hire professional valet but the valet Parker’s themselves would hold up to some sort of courtesy. I mean people are trusting you with one of their most prized assets. None the less the show ended shortly after 10:30. Our car came pretty quick, we got in drove off, and headed home. This morning my husband heads to work and goes to grab his ear pods to find that they are not there..... that’s at 7am on 5/22/19 his beats where also missing. I am so disgusted that they would steal from someone that contributes to their pay. We are going to do everything in our power to ensure those responsible are held accountable. It’s not about the fact that each pair of headphones cost $100 but the fact that they claim to be professional and the best valet service in Miami yet they steal from people who pay them! My next step (of many) is a call to my lawyer and then a police report. Wrong car my friends.....

Watched a really great show at the Ziff Opera House. Overall the opera house was a great experience. They had quick service on drinks and snacks. The only problem is that there were very limited seats while waiting for the show to start. We paid the $25 for valet parking but when the show ended we had to wait 45 mins to an hour to get our car back and almost missed our dinner reservation. Please make some changes at the Ziff Opera house! Ill be back soon to see another show!

Adrienne Arsht Center is a jewel in downtown Miami! Along with the Knight Center this entertainment and cultural complex brings the best shows, concerts and performances one can find in Miami. I’ve watched countless shows here and I keep going back. Look for the free tour they offer on Mondays and Saturdays. The staff takes you for an in depth walk through the entire complex. It’s amazing and well worth it!

The place is huge....the sound up on the 4th level up was excellent. But get lower level tickets if you can....theres surge after the show is over...you want to be lower to escape the throngs.
