Love A Christmas Carol. See it every year because it is a holiday tradition.

Beautiful charming theatre in the heart of Princeton. Non-profit theatre, with professional actors and quality productions. Various types of shows, progressive and socially conscious programming. If in the area, definitely worth the visit!

This is one of my favorite places to see theatre in the country. They do poignant, timely pieces that reflect the times. Both spaces are beautiful and comfortable. Ive seen plays in the Berlind and large scale productions like A Christmas Carol in the Matthews. My whole family attended a sensory friendly performance of A Christmas Carol in December and it was a really great experience. So glad theatres like McCarter are making the arts accessible to everyone!

A Christmas Carol is an annual tradition for me and my partner. We make the trip from King of Prussia every December. The show is always a delight. Weve also seen other productions and have never been disappointed.

Saw a performance of Frankenstein and it was excellent! A lot of setup in the first act and great action in the second. Really enjoyed it. They also always have an incredible performance of A Christmas Carol that doesnt leave a dry eye in the audience. Beautiful venue and exceptional artistry.

First time at McCarter Theatre to see Gregory Porter his set was excellent and the seats were great. Will definitely come back!

Went to see A Christmas Carol and the production was impeccable. They were able to bring out such raw emotion in scene sequences and the costumes were magnificent. I loved everything from their organization to the show itself. If you are a fan of the Arts and love giving back to the community, this is a great activity for couples and family alike.

In a tent outside the theatre but it was gorgeous!

Great productions. Its just like seeing a Broadway show right here in Princeton. Christmas Carol is an annual holiday tradition. The sets are gorgeous.

Great place to see a show beautiful campus, great landscape it was a little hot during this performance no air circulation but great place for a show

There are balcony seats but no elevator. (They were gracious enough to swap out tickets for house seats in the orchestra.) Cmon folks, this is 2020. Also, parking is still problematical. Great show, though.

It was so awesome being here. I loved it so much, the lights changed perfect timing, and the performers seemed so confident and made it seem like the event was actually taking place right there where they were. I recommend EVERYONE to go here, they do the best performances and I really couldnt ask for more.

Wonderful theater for love acting! They also do Shakespeare group readings. So much fun!

A wonderful experience! I will highly recommend seeing a show at this incredible theater.

The plays are amazing here . So well written and performed. I love going every year to see a Christmas Carol

Always great. We have been attending events at McCarter since 1975. It is a great place to go!@

Consistently fantastic performances!

Quality performances at a reasonable price.High class. Good people. Suggestions, Need to upgrade seating.

We enjoyed seeing the opening of Detroit 67 here tonight. First time here. Beautiful space and grounds.

Great little theater, excellent show, friendly staff!

Talented actors. Love how they keep the community apart of the productions. Not a bad seat in the theater.

Saw A Christmas Carol and it was the best play I have ever seen! Laughed, cried, and applauded through the whole performance. Well done!

Great venue and helpful staff. Love that they do sensory friendly performances

Its always a great day to go to McCarter theatre. They present great performers and have a great atmosphere.

The seat was small and not comfortable but other than that great show and very pleasant service.

Loved Lewis Black. Nice venue. Attentive and friendly ushers.

Friendly staff, helped me find handicap parking. Wonderful reception in the Lockwood lobby, with great food by Gustoso, live jazz by these great high school musicians! All before the main event with the great Christian McBride, part if the Jazz in June Series. This is really a beautiful place, I had a great evening!

Amazing sensory-friendly experience, one of the best weve encountered so far.

Very cool theater on Princetons campus. Free parking garage in the evening a few blocks away. The theater is very intimate with very good sound. The crowd was very quiet and respectful (except of course for the one idiot that yells something when its very quiet). Theres a small limited bar inside to get a quick drink and the restrooms were modern and clean. I will definitely go here again.

Beautiful theater. Great production. But No leg room. Common with most theaters

This is the second show I’ve seen at this two time Tony winning Theatre. The McCarter Theatre always provides a pleasurable theatrical experience.

Awesome theatre. Really good family friendly production of Xmas Carol.

Frankenstein was great. The theatre is very pleasant, but as a bigger guy the seats in front of me were so close, my knees felt like they were in my chest.

Its a very beautiful venue. The construction matches Princetons Ivy League visual. All receptionists were extremely courteous, ready to help and solve any issue. As it was my first time going to this theatre since its location makeover, I couldnt find an easy parking. Worse yet as I needed a handicap parking spot and there werent any signals directing me to especial parking or any kind of parking. Later, a friend let me know that a little farther from the old train station, there is the new parking lot building.If you are parking in front or around the theater, keep in mind that the street parking is not free till 8pm, so dont forget to pay for it in coins or card. Anyways, it was a great evening at the McCarter theater.

Just saw the play Gloria, A Life and what an incredible play it is.the main actress is non other than Mary Mcdonnell, a 2 time nominee for an Oscar. Star of Battle Star Galactica, The Closer and Major Crimes. The incredibly talented Emily Mann behind the scenes. The set and seating is fantastic. Everyone from the people Manning the phones, at the will call area. . to the ushers, and people at the bar.. were all incredibly helpful and fun to chat with. I will be back to see the play about lady Frankenstein. Sorry. .. slipped my mind on the proper title.

Great venue in Princeton visited by top notch artists.

McCarter Theater is a historical, charming, exquisite establishment that offers a quality theater experience without traveling out to NYC or PHL... Stunning!

What a great evening and show! Great audience vibe and guest experience. Lot of little changes recently show they care about the patron experience, not just what is on stage. Concessions much better too! So great to have such a wonderful gem of a theater right here in our backyard!

Been there a few times this year. (Christmas Carol and Frankenstein) Love it every time.

Much more intimate atmosphere vs NYC. Actors are top notch.

Took the family to A Christmas Carol, what a terrific production and so good to have it local

Went to see Sleuth at the Mccarter theater. Excellent thriller and well acted.

McCarter Theatre is a quality venue with not a bad seat in the house. I have seen plays and shows of various venues. The shows have always been of high quality. I recommend this Theatre.Parking is free in the deck but, it is a walk so be prepared for the weather. Any other parking is on the street and needs to be paid for before 8pm 7 days a week. Payment is only via an app or automated machine.

Nice little theater with great productions. I love coming here.

The improvements to content are intriguing, get here for a performance ASAP. Sutton Foster was absolutely amazing.

Great local theater delivering Broadway caliber performances. We are so fortunate to have this near us

Just saw The Gods of Comedy tonight. Great production! The theater is extremely accessible and more comfortable than many others. Enjoyable evening at a nice venue.

Its not fair for me to review McCarter. I work here. If it matters to you, the company does what it can to assure its employees a living wage and a livable work environment. In return, we are very invested in making every event the best we can. Theater isnt for everyone, but it is unique in the live audience environment. Everyone should try it a couple of times and McCarter is a great place to do that. We get Broadway designers, directors and actors being so close to NYC. As to ticket prices, McCarter is a not for profit company of over 70 employees. That does not include the actors, designers and directors. It takes an army working behind the scenes to give you a great experience. Check it out sometime!

The Theater was very nice. Wife and I saw Manhattan Men.. These are the original 4 guys from the Broadway show Jersey Boys.. Great show.. if you like 60s music catch Manhattan Men. Great time!

Just saw a performance of A Christmas Carol. I had high expectations but even still I was blown away. It was so good and so fun. Love how they have the special cup so you can drink your wine or whatever while watching the show.

The atmosphere, the staff and the show were all wonderful!

McCarter Theater always has excellent performances. Their plays are comprable to Broadway. There is the MatthewsTheater and Berlind Theater. Make sure you arrive early because free parking is available at the West Garage on Princeton Universitys property or the Princeton train station and it is a 5-minute walk to the theater. There is wheelchair seating, hearing devices, and refreshments. Their entertainment varies from plays to music, and other entertainment. Check out their site.

Airline seats without the peanuts. Acceptable leg room, but seriously, I have to lean forward for the whole show because the seats aren’t wide enough for a packed house.

McCarter is a standard other theatres should aspire to. Quality entertainments regularly perform here. The seating is on the tight side if you are larger ( I am not but my friend is) and the concession prices reflect Princeton but that is expected and that is a reminder when you go. By all means go. It is the best venue in Central Jersey.

Great presentation of Frankenstein! After awhile the lack of leg space started to take its toll.

Love going to McCarter theatre for anything! Love the location and friendly people. The snacks especially the fig and goat cheese personal pizza/pastry is so so good!

The smaller theater behind main theater was very intimate.

McCarter Theater is small enough in design to create an intimate atmosphere, yet seats a good-sized audience. It offers a wide range of programming, from plays to dance troupes to live music. Purchasing a subscription that you can build yourself from the coming years offerings makes tickets quite affordable. Ample parking is provided in a nearby Princeton University parking garage. In addition to an excellent restaurant and an upscale bar beautifully built into two old railroad buildings adjacent to McCarter, the theater offers light fare, wine, desserts, and other such items before and midway through many of the performances.

The cultural hub of Princeton, bringing great shows to a hungry public.

We saw A Christmas Carole. It was great! I would go see it again. The facility itself was perfectly laid.out and there was zero confusion of where to go. We parked down the road a little but it wasnt a terrible walk.

McCarter theatre has the best employees on earth!!! After an awful experience with another guest, I had asked if they would move my seats and they worked so quickly to do so!!! I am so incredibly grateful for their kindness and quick resolution to the issue.

Great venue - very small theater. Not a bad seat in the house. Princeton campus is beautiful!

Wonderful show! A new family tradition!

One of the finest small-to-medium performing arts venues anywhere. No bad seats; well-maintained; fine amenities; excellent acoustics; comfortable seating with good knee space; friendly and helpful staff. Free indoor parking a five-minute walk (shuttle also available). If you can see it anywhere, see it here!

Worth your visit. Beautiful place

Christmas Carol is amazing, dont miss it.

Great performance. Thoroughly enjoyed.

The McCarter Theatre Center has always a way of pleasing audiences with absolutely top productions, cast, and crew!Tonights GLORIA is a double hit for Emily Mann in her last season of Director here because she also wrote this bio-play about Gloria Steinham.So, anytime you seek quality and inovative entertainment intermingled with the classics of the stage put The McCarter Theatre Center in your plans.Also try to catch and attend the pre and post show discussions featured as a regular staple over here. The insights are enrichment to the entire experience.

Went to the show Christmas Carol. Fantastic!

Awesome theatrical experience. Professional, courteous staff.

A nice outing place if you are an art lover, befitting for the culture of the town. Easy parking. Convenient location. Great staff and extensive choice of various art forms.

Good shows.. parking can be a problem, go bit early.

I saw The Gods of Comedy there. Its a beautiful space, producing theater at a very high professional level. Parking isnt as close as Id like, but there is ample free parking in a campus deck about a five minute walk away

Ive been a few times with family for the yearly Christmas Carol performance, and its always excellent. From what Ive seen they have some other interesting new shows and classics as well year round.

Ive been attending performances at McCarter since I was a kid - my family would usually see The Christmas Carol each year. The quality of the actors is always good and its an interesting looking historical building. If youre in town, check it out.

The jazz experience after 630pm was bliss. Guitar drummer and pianist were of the charts but most of all the company was outstanding.

Beautiful venue with great acoustics.Ive been to a mcCarter half a dozen times and have never been disappointed. There are plenty of friendly volunteers to help you. Free parking garage within a five minute walk. The lines for concessions and rest rooms are long as in any theater. I would highly reccomend..

Awesome venue, great performers, nice staff, good vibe

Every show at McCarter is great! They never fail to do a terrific job. The productions are always top notch! Just saw Potted Potter on Saturday. It was a blast!

Great place, great play, great people around.

Cozy auditorium in the heart of Princeton. Parking is close at West garage. With nearby restaurant and close to downtown, excellent place to spend time for concerts. The auditorium is clean and staff is friendly. Only issue is seats have tight legroom.

Excellent sound, lots, of spots nearby for a preshow bite or drink. Get there early enough to park in the Princeton West garage, about two blocks away. Not much parking close.

Very nice theater, small, intimate, not a bad seat in the house

Love this theatre. Saw Audra Macdonald there last spring. I was in the front seat and the show was fantastic. I would definitely return for other shows

Great theater and the Christmas Carol was great

Been here few times nice theatre

Great production of a Christmas Carroll. Theater personnell in period made it even more fun. Great stage changes and special effects

Great venue, comfortable seating, nice on-site cafe, affordable hours. Parking is the best by the train station, free after 7 PM, or even earlier.

The layout design is welcoming and the space is very clean.

Every time I go, I regret not going more. A great regional theater with very well done productions.

Historic and interesting place, a quaint setting for a concert. They serve alcoholic beverages in adult soppy cups so you dont spill in the theater, actually not a bad idea.

Best theater in the area.

You should go...the program is amazing for a small place the acoustic is great

Always a great performance.

This is a beautiful old theater. Given its size, there really is not a bad seat in the house. During the Christmas season, be sure to catch a run of the Nutcracker and A Christmas Carol.Parking can be difficult, as with nearly anything in the Princeton area. The earlier you arrive, the easier it will be to find nearby street parking which is easier than the lot.

As a performing arts venue and cultural institution, McCarter knows what it is doing and what its goals are, and does so incredibly well. The range of programming, community events, educational opportunities, etc. are endless. Having the hub of Downtown Princeton just streets away and being connected to the University is wonderful. Highly recommended trip to make to the theater, be it in the smaller Berlind theatre or the large Matthews theatre, there is almost always something exciting happening!

My theater experience was great. They need to have handicap accessibility for the bathrooms and better access across the board.

Wonderful theatre with great plays.

Very nice theather. If you find the presentation you will like to see, this is the place to see it. Everyone here is very friendly and helpful. Plus you can enjoy of all the fun things to do in the Princeton area.

Shows are awesome there. The kids love it and It is easy to get in and out. Reasonable prices and near a lot of food options. We go there several times a year
