Best place to see Broadway! I've been to many shows here and never disappointed. It's a first class venue! Come see a show!
Christine LivingstonDecember 3, 2012Amazing. However toddlers and smaller age children do not belong especially when they kick your chair and eat potaoe chips loudly...parenting 101....just sayin
The super courteous doormen look like beefeaters to me. Thank them.
Erika GalluppiMay 21, 2014Two words: bathroom attendants. Amazing! If only parking (namely leaving the garage) was as smooth, efficient, and enjoyable.
StacyFebruary 25, 2014Drinks were surprisingly reasonable and you can pre-order them have cocktails waiting for you at intermission!
The space is great for any kind of show. Get the Broadway season pass.
Box office here couldn't be better! Best advice: become a season ticket holder. They are fantastic about rescheduling tickets if you ever need to switch.
$POILED PRINCE$$April 15, 2012DEPAC is one amazing place to go for enterment.. It.s like minture NY radio city music hall..LOVE IT.
Claire BinghamAugust 26, 2014Fantastic venue. Check out their craft beer of the month for a delicious beer at a reasonable concert price

Mary BooneSeptember 28, 2013Love this place! I wish Greensboro would hurry up & get a place like this. We drive to Durham a lot for performances & to Charlotte too.
Michael HuberJanuary 11, 2015This place is pretty clean and appears to be a nice venue to watch a live show.
L Troy AdamsDecember 15, 2014Stunning visual display of some of the most beautiful Christmas trees you will ever see.
Season tickets for broadway series are worth it - even in the upper tier! Recommend going for the center, rows A-E, if you go for the top tier...

Krazy KatMarch 11, 2013Amazing venue!! Do NOT park in the garage behind it though- park in the street or take a walk and park farther away. The garage can't handle all the cars exiting.
Ann-Cabell BaumJanuary 6, 2017Wonderful facility! Loved have a drink at Nana's (literally next door) before the show!
Eva HahnJune 17, 2016Plus size seats! No joke. If you are tall and/or big hips ask for the plus size seats!
Vincent LancasterFebruary 10, 2017Really nice facility. Great staff. Never been disappointed with the facility.
Gloria RichburgSeptember 20, 2013Grand Tier middle, great seats, would not want to sit in a higher level, would appear to be looking down, instead of out at the performance- PaulMay 3, 2013LOVE DPAC! So beautiful, great view and facilities. Priscilla: Queen of the Desert was amazing!
Get the cinnamon sugar pecans, you will be glad you did. Just try not to eat them all before the show.
Sendil KrishnanJune 1, 2014"Edible Art" sells cupcakes at every regular season show. One of the best cupcakes I've ever had.- Mary BooneNovember 14, 2013Love this place! Beautiful venue for all kinds of entertainment! Hope Greensboro will have one of these some day soon!
Nancy ParkerMarch 4, 2012The chocolate chip cookies are amazing. Still warm! We bought one on the grand tier concessions.
Gi GiNovember 7, 2013Not a bad seat in the house. I prefer to sit on the grand tier leave for all shows.
Mrs ThomasMarch 5, 2017The seats are arranged well. Not really a "bad" seat, just closer to the stage.
Jessica YSeptember 17, 2011So nice! Get a cocktail at intermission and bring it back in the theater with you
Such a nice place! Great staff. Loved Mary Poppins! Its a must see
Liana LauDecember 5, 2011Awesome musicals here - especially if you can get discounts through Duke. :D
Joshua HernandezOctober 7, 2010Great place. Very nice in the heart of Durham. Saw Wicked there and it was great!
- Sendil KrishnanApril 12, 2014Apparently, they now have a cupcake vendor in the lobby. PEOPLE, I said CUPCAKES!!
F. Khristopher BlueMarch 5, 2011Buy your tickets early... well I guess it pays to know that the artist will be performing well in advance.
- Front rows of the Grand Tier are the best seats, in my opinion.
