A great place for the whole family!! Beautiful architecture and paintings. Absolutely gorgeous. My family and I went here for How the Grinch Stole Christmas the musical. An absolutely amazing show highly recommend this place.

Saw Hamilton on a Sunday afternoon. Incredible show and gorgeous venue. Good sound, lighting, and air conditioning. Would love to return!

Amazing venue. Absolutely lucky to have in my backyard. Wow. So lucky. Aladdin was absolutely amazing. Loved everything about it. The costumes, sets and actors and actresses were the utmost professionals. You can tell the practice their craft a lot and truly love what they do. This is a state of the art venue that we are all blessed to have in our state. Enjoy it often. Thanks PPAC. See you soon..

Venue was good but I cant say the same thing for the Piano Guys concert.

Went to see Aladdin and was very impressed. From the costumes to the choreography it was a whole new world. I was most interested to see how the genie would be and how they would handle the magic carpet and the cave of wonders. I was not disappointed! Their was no monkey, he became three friends of Aladdin but it didnt hurt the production at all. They along with the genie interjected humor.

Beautiful old, ornate theater. Has top notch shows, many by National Touring companies. We saw Come From Away there on Thursday evening. The absolute BEST show Ive ever seen, I highly recommend it and hope Providence Performing Arts Center has it back again real soon!

Magnificent! You must visit for a visual delight. We saw “Love never dies”. We drove 14 hours and it did not disappoint. The staff was fantastic.

Regulars here for shows and performances. Always a great time.

A beautiful venue for a great concert. The orchestral music melded seamlessly with the movie! Looking forward to the next show.

Gorgeous theatre. Wonderful experience. The play was a great story, the actors amazing w each playing multiple roles. Minimal set that was really effective in evoking the sense of a place but kept the focus on the story.

Beautiful theater. Mid sized with decent seating. Parking near by and good amenities for folks who are subscription holders.

A gem, a great place to see a show

Such a great venue to take in a show. It is so beautiful inside. I have seen several shows here and always so enjoyable. They also get big Broadway shows here which is awesome for a small city like Providence. I only have small criticisms, ticket prices can be high and lines for the mens room at intermissions can be ridiculous. But all around love this spot

The Providence Performing Arts Center interior is a thing of beauty. Some seats are better than others certainly, but you really can see from any seat in the house. It always feels like a special occasion to catch a show there.

An ornate and stunning interior. Security is as tough as the airport! Polite staff.

The PPA is a great place to see a show without the hassle of going into Boston. I usually find better seats and lower prices per seat than I do in Boston for the same show and cast. The venue itself is beautifully restored.

A great place to see Broadway productions. Every seat is a good seat. The theater is full of history and beauty. Love coming here.

Went to see the Nutcracker, used to go every year! Great time, Great Performers, Great Place! Dint buy anything while there though super expensive.

This beautiful preservation of history is a great venue employing very friendly staff, and hosting wonderful events near Brown University. Walking down the street you are welcomed & drawn in by the marque sign; upon entering your breath will be taken away by the highly decorated vaulted ceilings with golden laid plaster, paintings, crown molding, huge mirrors, crystal chandeliers, spiral staircases, and marble bathrooms with adjacent spacious sitting rooms. The theater itself has good sound and ample bathrooms easily accessible from each floor. A new center chandelier reminds one that this piece of history was almost lost to us all, but with the hard work and determination of the community people can still travel from afar to enjoy its spender and the performance it is showcasing. My only complaint is typical of a venue this age, that the leg space is never enough for tall people like me; a small price to pay, but miniscule in the grand scheme of things. If you find yourself in Providence I highly recommend doing yourself a favor and seeing a show at this beautiful theater!

Sound is great! Have loved every show weve seen here.

I want to be fair. It was my second time there. There appears to run many great shows from what I see. The staff is great. I had to take my daughter to the bathroom not during intermission while the show was going. I didn’t realize the quick the bathroom trip meant we couldn’t return and we ended up not being able to return to the show. If you need that type of a policy. Don’t presume your audience has been there and should know this. There should be announcements.

Great place to see a show, small enough there are no bad seats. Easy cheap parking nearby, great restaurants nearby. Easy access to major highways.

PPAC used to be the name for high end theatre but after seeing the nutcracker this year, I no longer trust that I will get what Im paying for.1) The show began with people asking for donations after patrons have already paid ample fee for admission2 The cast included a number of children or younger performers who were clearly not proficient enough to perform in a show of this caliber3 Despite being in a theater which has an orchestra pit there was no live orchestra as there has been in past years4 The direction of this show included comedic changes to parts of dances which took away from the feeling of attending a proper ballet.Very disappointing.

Easy to get to and plenty of parking lots near by, not a bad seat in the house!

Saw Cats on the opening night of their tour. Excellent!! Sets and lighting added to the exceptional singing and dancing performances. Beautiful costumes. A night full of beauty and song

Went recently to see Anastasia. It was wonderful. I always enjoy going to ppac.

The theater is beautiful. That said, the front 3-4 rows of each section are good seats. Everything else is mediocre to bad. The seats provide ample leg room as long as youre under 59. And, if youre especially unlucky, youll sit next to a guy who reeks like smoke and people talking all around you throughout the show. Oh, and whats up with ushers seating people 10 minutes into the show?!?

The performances are always top notch, but the art and architecture are among the best anywhere! Seriously, the decor is worth the price of admission. Go enjoy a show and arrive early and/ or stay late to enjoy the gilded age interior up close.

Hamilton! What more is there to say? Seats were comfortable. Closed captioning was in front of us, adding to the experience. We could read any lines we missed in this fast - paced show. Stage was perfect for the performance. Even with a full house and millions of people wanting to purchase memorabilia, everything worked smoothly.

A beautiful historic theater hosting traveling theater troupes and other special events. More legroom than Broadway and relatively easy pedestrian entry/exit. Conveniently located in downtown Providence a block away from Westminster Street and its shops. Parking can be somewhat of a challenge and expensive.

It was so fantastic!! I loved the show, the energy, the staff!! We saw Fiddler on the Roof, and I was blown away. PPAC housed us perfectly. I would go there any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

This place is really nice. It looks visually stunning and the prices of the seats are surprisingly low. You will not be disappointed. 10/10 would reccomend.

Great shows, great staff! Very helpful and cast of shows are amazingly talented. Its great to have a piece of Broadway so close to home!

A great venue..very beautiful. We enjoyed tonights presentation of Esxape to Margeritaville...

Hello Dolly was great. A lot of people went and it is so organized everything went smoothly. I highly recommend it.

A beautiful performing arts center in thehub of downtown Providence.

Very clean and well kept. Beautiful old building with easy access to parking. Not a huge auditorium, so leaving is simple with very little traffic. Seating was comfortable with decent views of the stage from the middle.

Great place. Awesome building, service and perfomance. Lots of space.

PPAC never disappoints and teamed with Festival Ballets production of The Nutcracker made for another memorable Saturday during the holidays.If youve been to Providence Performing Arts Center then youre in for a treat. The theater is adorned in gold leafed ornate detailing thats fresh out of the Gilded Age.

Love this place. Easy to find- plenty of parking in area. Not a bad seat in the house.

I sent my parents to Hamilton last night. They ended up getting seats 11rows back from the stage due to a mixup (something we could never afford!) The staff the actors and production were all top fing notch!

Ive seen so many shows here and theyve all been great

More spacious than youd expect. Polite crowd. Numerous restaurants and bars to enjoy before and after you visit the theater.

Seating is tight but comfortable for large people. The parking garage gouges. $25 during a show $10 is the normal price

Great show, nice area to grab a drink if you are early. Staff was wonderful finding a lost pair of glasses. Excellent experience

What a beautiful theater. We came to see Hamilton and it was wonderful. Everyone we encountered was so kind and helpful. My only reason for giving 4stars is because this is the first theater I have encountered that didnt have boosters for kiddos.

Harry Potter program with live orchestra was cool. Its an old theater thats in great shape. Seats are comfortable with good, not great, leg room. Parking garage across the street had traffic tied up going in for blocks. Like it was their first event. Didnt explain about where to pickup keys after. Id go back to PPAC but would use different parking.

Went here to see Hamilton with my family. Right downtown and easy to find. Little hard to navigate indoors but staff will help you out. Snacks are good but expensive. Views of the stage are great even from the back balcony seating. Whole space is gorgeous and feels like a palace. Even the bathrooms are really nice and there are ample stalls so lines dont become an issue.

Beautiful theater,good comfortable seats,great parking $20.00 right across the seat,easy in and out.Yes you can buy water,wine,beer and cookie,pretzels.Remember you cant bring anything in.Restrooms were huge,and very clean.I love this place you will too,great shows!

Everything about this place was beautiful! I saw Lindsey Stirling and it was such a magical experience! 10/10 would go here again :)

Great theater. Lousy city. Providence has slipped greatly over the last decade. Just dont feel safe. Park close when visiting PPAC and leave right after. No strolling after to find a bite or drink. Carol Burnett show October 2019. Gotta love the Carol nostalgia.

Great historic theatre to see a show.

That was my first time there to see Chris Tucker, and I loved it. Place was very impressive.

We went to see A Bronx Tale and I was phenomenal! Amazing, beautiful! A must see! I love the PPAC!

Ive been to several productions at this theater. All the shows are great! My complaints and frustrations are with the seats and lack of space between the rows, lack of stocking up on the #1 selling snack PRETZELS as they always run out, opening the theater earlier enough to get people inside, at their seats, so that the show can start on time, the souvenirs from shows are super expensive and theres always 10+ min wait to use the bathrooms. Although the theater might not have anything to do w parking but its $20 to park and poorly organized especially on Snow St.

My wife and I went to see A Bronx Tale and it was a fantastic performance. We have seen many shows at this theater and are going back soon to see Jesus Christ Superstar.

Went to see Hamilton. Outrageously outstanding performance and there were subtitute actors in this performance. I can just imagine the regular cast and even the original cast with Lin Manuel Miranda! Definitely a bucket list item!

We have been coming here for years! Great Broadway shows and performances! Would highly recommend!

Love this place. Beautiful theatre. Seats are small and close together but the shows they put on are worth the coziness.

One if the best kept secrets of Rhode Island!!!!Comparable to the Hanover Theatre in Worcester. The architecture is out of this world!!! Everything is done in gold!! Could be real gold but probably gold leaf!!! Never mind the great concerts, plays, or musicals!!!! Iwent and saw the great band Chicago. They played for two hours and gave an awesome concert!!! Three of the original band members still playing. Anyway, it is worth it just to see this beautiful theatre. Just like Hanover, it will blow your mind away with its magnificent architecture if you appreciate beauty.

Beautiful building and great performances!

This place is magical. I have not seen a bad show yet.

I always love coming to shows here. Its beautiful with great staff and volunteers, clean bathrooms, and easy coming in and getting out of the theater.

I love this place the staff in all aspects are the best the place is beautiful and historical I frequently see shows here and always a great time prices in side are good seats could be wider but all is great. Just attended Steve Marten and Marten Short one of the best shows ever love them guys

Nice venue, good views and sound even from the 2nd balcony and helpful and friendly ushers making an all around pleasant show experience. UNLESS YOU ARE TALL! If you are 58 or up you will find the seats way too small and be squished. At 510 I couldnt sit normally and was in physical pain throughout the show. If you are tall try your best to get a seat in the front of the section so you are not squished!! Otherwise a great theater!

Recently went to ppac to see Les Miserables. What a beautiful venue in a beautiful city. A breeze to get in and out of. The Acoustics are spectacular and the architecture is jaw dropping. Not to mention the musical itself Les Miserables was phenomenal.

Very interesting building. A little tight on seating but great view of stage from any location.

Just saw the Grinch Who Stole Xmas and it was incredible. Seating is good, music was great and lighting and audio was excellent.

Enjoyed the Grinch comfortably, not a bad seat in the house. Will be back to enjoy more shows.

Timeless place for great entertainment. Facility is well kept and very clean. Lines move fast. All interactions were positive and professional.

The place was beautiful and very well maintained! We were there for a dance competition, and our only complaint is the dressing room areas are very small, but that happens. They were very accommodating and we had a great experience overall. Id love to return just to see a show.

My daughter gave us tickets to A Bronx Tale...it was better than the movie!! Absolutely awesome!!

Enjoyed A Bronx Tale

Love this theater and all the performances we have seen here over the years. Yet another great performance with Aladdin

Loved the experience of Broadway in Providence. We saw Fiddler on the Roof on Sunday, 2/16/20 @1. Wow, wow, wow.Tevye (Yehezkel Lazarov) was fantastic! His voice, his inflection and nuance delivered in each line was fantastic.The singing and dancing was terrific. We loved the whole show. We are singing the songs - as we knew we would.Thanks PPAC! We will come back!

Saw Chicago here. It was great! Plenty of parking near by.

Awesome theater. So much character. Generally inexpensive shows. At times can be Broadway-caliber performances.

The show was wonderful I just wish that they would update their Seating its tight for big guy like me

Loved it. Super easy to get to. Gorgeous gild work. Nice stage. Warning - very very very small seats. Im 5.6 and my knees were in pain.

Attractive interior design, good seating. Snacks and drinks are a little expensive but not bad. Dont need a new travel cup for each soda as we go several times a year and they will end up getting thrown away or recycled

The staff was very attentive. The ushers were helpful without being pushy.

The facility is a historical gem. In very good shape. Weve seen many great performances here and my favorites so far are Motown and Book of Mormon. The surrounding area is also great for dining and drinks.

Love this place. Full of history, and its like walking into a time machine and your jetted back to a bustling theatre where many dancers have graced that stage. I dont know it just feels like the roaring 20s ..Truly magical!! We went and saw The Nutcracker, it being my daughters (whos almost 10) first time seeing it....it was absolutely Fabulous!! Very beautiful dancing and just being there is so festive for the holiday season. It was such a blessing to be able to create that beautiful memory with her I will cherish them forever!! The only one thing i would say was i think u are missing some revenue in there for a little hot cocoa bar. I think it was odd to not have any other drinks beside alcohol, soda or coffee...i mean im not complaining, BUT i can imagine many many families enjoying a nice cup of hot cocoa while watching the nutcracker, maybe a few cookies, how cute to have hot cocoa and all the toppings to decorate maybe put a candy cane in it....how amazing would that be!!! So when that happens i will give it 5 stars!! Lol but im really serious. get your hot cocoa lives all the way TOGETHER!!

LOVED this theater! Saw The Book Of Mormon here and had an absolute blast. Good location with lots to do around before and after the theatre. Beautiful interior.

PPAC is a great place to see a show. The inside is absolutely beautiful, so cool to see an old theater in such great shape and well preserved.

PPAC is our go to place for musicals and shows. Why travel to Boston or New York when we have this gem conveniently located in downtown Providence. We have seen many shows here and are never disappointed. We just went to see Hamilton and it was as good as.the hype.

I seen Alladin and the performance was amazing. The atmosphere was beautiful. I would definitely go back.

The ambiance and atmosphere of the architecture of the space is worth going every single time. On this occasion we went to Shen Yun. Tickets have always been pricey so this was the first year I had the chance to go. The show was everything I could have dreamed and much much more.

Just saw a spectacular stage production today called Shen Yun! This stunning performance depicts over 5000 years of Chinese culture. Excellent portrayals and eye-popping acrobatics will keep you mezmorized! Definitely a Must See!!!

This is such a great venue. Its cheaper than tickets in Boston and more importantly its not a hassle to get to. The theater is beautiful.

Great old theater with fantastic acoustics. Beautiful place to see a play.

I have been to two shows here which were well done, but both of them were quite late (over 10 minutes).

Outstanding first class theater in a magnificently restored architectural gem.

Went to see Stomp!! Was an awesome play!!! Stars of play posed with my clients...thats all they talked about for days. Very nice place.

Great venue, easy to get to, lots of great eateries in the area for before, or after the show, treats. Bathrooms are large and clean, easy entrance, easy exit. Good parking options all around.

Easy parking, $20. Good Seats, very small bathrooms.

Beautiful looking theater. Not nearly enough services to properly service a full house. Bathroom lines out the door, half of us never made it in before act 2. Total disorganized chaos trying to get anywhere. I would be concerned for my safety if there were any issue where we all needed to exit quickly. Its too bad, its really pretty and has a nice stage and pit. Hope they can improve on it.

Beautiful venue with seating that everyone can enjoy the view from

I am handicapped and must use a transport chair. Everyone at the ppack bent over backwards to help my daughter and I. This made a stress free trip to the theatre.

A beautiful well maintained theater. We have seen several shows here and they never disappoint.
