times-union center for the performing arts

We very much enjoyed the Times Union Center. It was clean and comfortable and a great place to watch a show, in this case, Harry Connick Jr. However, getting a taxi following the show is nearly impossible. We waited about 30 minutes before one finally drove by and we flagged it down. With several thousand people leaving the theatre I was very surprised to learn that taxi drivers were not interested in servicing that area following a show. I recommend that you make your arrangements for pick-up before the show.

I really enjoyed this place! Doesn't seem like there is a bad seat to be had! I just wish drinks were allowed inside during shows, but overall I highly recommend it!!

From musicals to dramas the Times Union Center delivers. If you can't find something at the TUC that tickles your fancy you are just not looking.

We bought tickets to see "Dirty Dancing" through Groupon. We had never been to this theater before. We were quite pleased with both the venue and the production. Be advised though, I bought a cup of hot chocolate from the snack area in the lobby and it was so hot that it burned my tongue, even after I had put three containers of cream into it to try to cool it off a bit. It had to be near the boiling point. I bought it 20 minutes before we needed to go into the show and it took most of that time before I could drink it. No reason for the water to be that hot. So, stay away from the hot chocolate, but go to a show at The Times-Union. You won't regret it.

Throughout the years I have seen concerts, broadway plays, and comedians and have sat in just about every section there is, and there isnt a bad seat in the house. It's newer than the Florida Theatre and more intimate than the Veterans Memorial Arena. Just booked box seats for an upcoming event and couldnt be more excited! The view of the river at intermission is breathtaking.

I saw Wicked and The Lion King at this theater and they were wonderful!!!! We got seats close to the front and this theater does not disappoint! Also the view outside by the water is very romantic! Anytime I get the chance to see a show here... I will!

We sat in row GG which was a little too far back for my taste. We had binoculars so that helped to see the facial expressions on the dancers but if I return I will opt for a seat closer to the stage.

We frequently see shows here throughout the year and have never been disappointed. The theater itself is beautiful and nicely maintained. And it's always nice to walk outside during intermission and warm up by the water -- they keep the theater freezing so make sure you bring a jacket or sweater.The theater consistently attracts outstanding shows year after year so there's always something for everyone. As this is in downtown Jacksonville, the parking can be challenging so plan accordingly. But there are always police officers directing traffic and making it easy for theater goers to cross the street safely. I think going to the theater is one of the best ways to spend a few hours and this is a lovely place to do so.

This is a great venue in Jacksonville FL. We have been many times to see many off Broadway shows, comedy, Symphonic Orchestra...and always been very satisfied.

Nice building and clean, classy look inside. The views and acoustics are good and the ushers seem friendly.

This is a very nice, small theater. An amazing venue to see a show, small enough so you can see, large enough to get decent acts. Seats were pretty comfortable, not a long wait to enter, drinks were reasonable. Overall a great theater. would go again, and highly recommend.

I love this venue for the variety of shows they have in their seasonal line-up. From the symphony to Broadway there is always something going on at the TUC. The seasonal packages offer great savings overy buying seasonal tickets. If you are a student, you get heavily discounted tickets on great seats based on availability shortly before curtain call. Have you ever sat on the row behind the orchestra to listen to a symphony? It offers a spectacularly different perspective!!!

I saw this show twice this year in both Fort Myers Florida at the Barbara B. Mann Theater and at the Bob Carr PAC in Orlando. The colors of the costumes were the prettiest and most beautiful costumes that I've ever saw. The music was so unique! I really loved it! What a show! You can not miss this show, especially if you like dance, culture, and music! It was much more traditional than the usual performances. I felt I actually learned a lot about the Chinese People and their culture. Strangely enough, I felt a very deep connection between the ethnic groups portrayed in the performance and my own ethnic background. The deeper meanings in the show are also very meaningful. If you are near the Jacksonville area or just want a road trip, I would say get tickets before this tour leaves Florida!

The venue provides a variety of programs, modern and classical, Jazz, Broardway, Ballet, Symphonyand talk shows. In week of THE PLAYERS Championship Tournament at TPC Sawgrass, May 9 - 11, it will host SHEN YUN 2014, a show that weaves a wondrous tapestry of heavenly realms, ancient legends, and modern heroic tales, taking you on a journey through 5,000 years of Chinese culture. Strongly recommend you to stop by to see what it offers while you stay.

The venue was great. I had been there before to see Ailey and for a Hillsong concert. Had great seats and since I stayed at the Omni, just walked across the street to the venue. I have nothing negative to say.
