ASU Gammage

Great experience! Front row 1st balcony. Autographs and pics with the cast after the show. Celebrating our daughter surviving her freshman year of college!!

ASU Gammage Moulin Rouge theater play was PHENOMENAL.All I can say is SPECTACULAR performance.If you can make it to see it in the next week, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Parking was inane but thanks to the VIP parking pass I had it was in & out. Seating was great & comfortable. Staff was well organized & friendly.Looking forward to the next play.

I'm going to go ahead and give this 5 stars, not necessarily because it's deserving, but because I want it to continue to stay the before that it is. Always great staff, wonderful ambience and architecture, parking has become a cluster, and the seats really are cramped. Been to a few productions here, lovely acoustics too.

We had a great day visiting ASU Gammage for the Sunday matinee showing of Wicked. This was my first visit to Gammage, a staple for the Phoenix art scene, and I came away quite impressed with the theater. Parking was easy, with plenty of space right outside. We were able to get in and out quickly and walk to the building in minutes. The layout and ease of movement is nice, very accommodating to a dad with his three girls. We were in the middle balcony and made in from door to seat in just a few minutes. While not a theater buff, the sights and sounds were unbelievable! I’ll have to catch more shows here to confirm but I’ve heard nothing to the contrary. All in, quite impressed with Gammage and I look forward to another show at the facility.

It was good. Good parking, leaving the parking lot after the show was also well done. The theater is fine, definitely a large room, unless you're going to a stand up show it's well worth getting a floor seat. Everything going in and out of the theater was fairly organized, as much as it can be with a large crowd, and that's something I can appreciate. The actual performance was very ok. Not my cup of tea, but it was my wife's so that's good, and she liked it.

I’ve always love going to see shows at Gammage. It’s a nice venue. Great shows, nice staff, good drinks & snacks plus the seats have plenty of leg room. I’m tall plus wear heels and I have enough room to cross my legs and sit comfortably. We saw Moulin Rouge this time and it was fantastic. Life of Pi the last time, which was amazing.

I've seen several performances/shows at Gammage Auditorium, and I love this venue. One of my favorite shows that came to Gammage with a stellar performance was Hamilton. And if you're not a fan of traditional Broadway show...never fear...you'll discover a wide variety of shows and performances. We've also gone to Gammage to see The Blue Man Group, The Adams Family, Flashdance, Annie, Wicked, and so many more. Take a peek at what's coming and find something amazing to add to your calendar.

Experiencing this production of Wicked was truly a magical evening at the theater. The stage design transported the audience to a whimsical world. Every performer showcased incredible talent and captivating vocals. From the elaborate costumes to the powerful performances, this show was a true spectacle. It was a memorable night and highly recommended.

I've seen many shows at Gammage, from row 12 in the center to way in the back of the balcony on the side. It's gigantic, housing a ton of people. What I've learned: where you sit really matters get there 20 minutes early for parking there will be traffic bring a sweater, it's cold in there! you will walk, so don't go crazy on heels if you didn't pay for VIP parking They have some great shows come through, and it's a pretty building. They have snacks and drinks at movie theater prices. All in all, solid but not astounding.

ASU Gammage Moulin Rouge was PHENOMENAL.GREAT performers & FIRST CLASS performance.Parking was easy, in & out, thanks to the VIP pass I had. We had great comfortable seats & the theater staff were kind & friendly. Definitely looking forward to the next show :)

Went to my first show at ASU Gammage this past month. Though conveniently and inconveniently located in downtown Tempe - all that college traffic, if you know, you know. The building itself is really beautiful, with architect Frank Lloyd behind the design, it makes sense. Though the coolest feature, the bridge is not accessible to the public, or at least it was not when we went. They do have a parking lot as well as a garage nearby. Depending on the show, it impacts if its free, or where you can park which is interesting. In addition, they have x-rays and security check at the entrance. Grabbing our tickets from Will Call was a breeze and the ASU Gammage team was super friendly and helpful in directing us to our seats. The space itself is not overly modern or up to date, but seems well taken care of. I did not realize they had such a robust line up of beverages and food. The bar had a line up of classic cocktails, quite affordable too I may add, and the other concessions had plenty of handhelds and snacks. The space definitely get's quite full with individuals waiting to be seated. They encourage guests to arrive about an hour early, but that seemed like a bit overkill on our end and just ended up with us standing around for 30-45 minutes. We were on the second balcony for the show. The view was lovely and seats comfortable enough. It was a bit hard to hear the performers speak, but I am not sure if that is speaking to my own hearing or the acoustics in general. That being said, really enjoyed our first experience and love the lineup of shows they offer. Will definitely keep an eye out on the calendar for future shows!

I like Gammage for their selection of current Broadway touring companies. I appreciate the latest major renovation that added improved bathroom facilities. However, I had hoped for an improvement when it came to the acoustics. For example Girl from the North Country and Jesus Christ Superstar I sat on the main floor and the middle of the first balcony respectfully. I had a very difficult time understanding the words and lyrics sung by the performers. I don't know if it's the acoustical setup of the traveling show or if it's an issue with the acoustics of the performance Center. I was able to hear Wicked with fairly good clarity all three times I saw the performance at Gammage. Be forewarned, unless you know the songs by heart, be prepared to be frustrated at times to understand what words are being sung.

Great college theatre venue! Has a lot of good shows however the sound quality can sometimes be an issue. Overall great experience. Affordable show prices. The upper balcony might be a little high for most and not the best visibility. Life of Pi was the show I saw and it was great!

The parking wasn't a big deal and/or chaos leaving. The concessions were fairly priced, the bathrooms clean. I almost had vertigo getting to my seat in the balcony, but after the show started I was fine. And the sound/viewing from up there was good. Worth the experience!

One of the nice perks about Yelp is that you can win tickets every once in awhile to do things that's not entirely on your radar. Through the years, I have seen some great shows via Yelp! I'm not someone that goes to musicals or plays regularly but when I get the chance, I usually enjoy them! Thank you Yelp, Bailey, Jack, Gretel and the folks over at ASU Gammage that provided these tickets for us! Appreciate the Yelp love! I definitely enjoyed the show and had no idea what the musical Some Like it Hot was about and I like walking into it blind, so the musical can make whatever impression on me. I also had no idea that last night was opening night, so that's super cool! Yelp told me to come here one hour earlier and so I did. Parking is always a situation at ASU, so plan accordingly. I parked about 0.5 miles away (free) and it was a nice stroll over (and got my steps in). This is an interesting building as it looks like a layer of a wedding cake from the outside to me. I've always wanted to take a bite out of it lol. Apparently, the building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, impressive! I do think the building could use a face-lift as everything felt a bit tired/dated, but it was functional and lots of concession stands everywhere. We were kind of in the nosebleeds section in the upper left area, but not complaining here as you only really need your ears for a musical. Binoculars were on sale at the concession stand. Had I known I was gonna be this far up, I definitely would have brought my birding binoculars! I would say the show was super loud for me, but also, I am getting old and just can't tolerate louder noises like I used to. I wish I had also brought some earplugs for hearing hygiene. I absolutely loved the story line. This apparently was a musical from 2022, adapted from a 1959 film, adapted from a 1935 French film Fanfare of Love. I love that two musicians had to disguise themselves as women to escape from gangsters after they were at the murder crime scene. I love that the musical is set during Prohibition and loved the costume design, the tap, speakeasy vibe, all of it! And the ending is quite exciting too! What's great about this storyline is the message it sends about acceptance, respect, love for everyone. My favorite line of the show, "The world reacts to what it sees. And in my experience, the world doesn't have very good eyesight." Great night out and hopefully will get the chance to come back again and enjoy a live show!

I've had the pleasure of seeing many productions at ASU Gammage. Nice temperatures inside the theater. Snacks and beverages are available. Make sure you read the bag policy or tote a clear bag. Upfront, accessible, and garage parking avaliable.

I haven't been here in a long time to see a show, but we came to see Wicked. While the decor is a bit dated, the seats were comfortable and there was plenty of leg room. I had someone who was 6'9" sitting by me who had plenty of room. We had very little wait at the concession stand and the staff was friendly. Got 2 proseccos, a sprite, candied nuts and Twix which cost $35. They do not accept tips. I parked using the app in the spaces next to the building, shaded by the solar panels. Cost $9 for 3 hours. Overall this was a great experience and I will come again!

When Phoenicians think of Arizona State University, many buildings come to mind whether the stadium or basketball arena, Old Main, Memorial Union, or even Manzanita residence hall. One other significant building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and that building is the ASU Gammage Auditorium. Opened in 1964, the building has been used over the years for many special guest performers, special events, and Touring Broadway performances. ASU Gammage is considered the "largest university-based presenters of performing arts in the world." This is in part thanks to the amazing Executive Director Colleen Jennings-Roggensack, who has been in this role since 1992. I've been told previously that there is no bad seat in the Gammage Auditorium. While I agree wholeheartedly about that, I do feel strongly that some seats are better than others. I have sat in almost every section of Gammage from the front row to the orchestra to the mezzanine to the balcony. My favorite seats are where my regular Gammage season ticket seats are which are about 10 rows back in the orchestra section. I have always seen the stage clearly and also get some great people watching in there. I also have enjoyed walking around the lobby areas and looking at the lobby galleries before shows or during intermissions. Great photographs and paintings from local artists! While I have been to a number of special events at Gammage from the Barrett Welcome to a Welcome Week Wellness Speaker to Homecoming comedians, ASU Gammage is also home to Touring Broadway performances. My favorites over the years include Wicked, Hamilton, The Phantom of the Opera, Six, Rent, The Lion King, Les Miserables, Come From Away, and Jersey Boys. I even got a backstage tour after one show and met cast members. I certainly recommend ASU Gammage to everyone whether one of these Touring Broadway performances or really any performing arts or ASU events in the future.

First Show dates me, Devo; (Whip It) lol; Stomp ..... Many more followed in this Iconic building next to the student music building. The building was purpose designed for performing and Acoustics. The Architecture was a passion of love by Frank Loyd Wright who designed and built many Period Iconic buildings. The inside is reminiscent of classical ballet Theatres. After my Devo concert I recall there was some controversy over allowing such an edgy New Wave group to perform here. It did get a bit louder than the typical crowd. Later that year I visited the FLW Taliesin West Studio in North Scottsdale to learn more about his designs. I even purchased one of his understudies Haver Homes influenced by FLW. This is Tempe's best Concert Venue, watch their schedule for shows.

Good theater overall. Tickets are not too crazy, however the higher you are on the balcony the harder it is to really enjoy things due to the awkward positioning. It's like you have to look down and lean over. If possible I recommend grabbing seats not on the balcony to fully enjoy the performances. It can also get confusing to find your seats if you're not paying attention or asking for directions. Not the best theater but an okay experience in general.

Thankful that Gammage brings Broadway to Arizona! Don't miss the opportunity to stage door!

I've been here several times for shows and every time I come I'm always left with the same thing "It's time for a theater upgrade... AGAIN!!". We recently came to experience the Michael Jackson New York theater show. The show itself was really good, but the seating was just so awkward and inconvenient for so many people it seems like. Granted, we were seated in the upper level where I felt like everyone was in the way. Staff is always helpful, but it doesn't really require much because no matter where you're going. You enter on one side and you make your way to your seats on that particular row there's no mid-break in between any of the seating at least for the upper level. Parking at ASU game is typically reserved for season-ticket holders so you do have to park at the neighborhood garage just down the way and make a little bit of a walk. When it comes to MJ, I was willing to suffer a bit :-).... but not again.

Went here to see the Avatar Last Airbender orchestral concert. It was amazing. The show was FANTASTIC! Lots of laughter and even tears!!! All the workers were friendly and helpful. Venue was big. Seats were comfortable. AC was a good temperature. Bathrooms were clean and enough stalls so the lines were not too long. They had super cute drinks that complimented the theme of the show. I've been here many other times and always have a great time!

We came here to see Michael W Smith. Very easy parking - check their website for details - great venue, good acoustics.

I have seen over 30 shows at ASU Gammage and they never disappoint! Whether it's a Broadway National Tour, ASU production, or comedy show, the staff are readily available to sell merch, direct traffic, or talk with guests about the show. The facilities are clean and the Tempe traffic is manageable. I just saw Beetlejuice on August 23rd and it is one of the my favorite shows! The stage design was so interesting and the cast was so talented! Heads-Up: They have a clear bag policy like the concert venues around the valley. If you have a bag smaller than 4x6, you can bring that in. Bags bigger than 4x6 will need to be left outside with the concierge desk.

I have been to Gammage many times and it's usually a decent experience. I went to see Girl From North Country and it was just a horrible time from start to finish. I always pay for parking when I buy tickets on Ticketmaster. I've never had an issue. I loaded the tickets and parking to the digital wallet on my phone. Show the parking attendant the pass--which says hold close to reader. The parking person was so rude. She said she needed a barcode. I didn't understand what she wanted right away. In the time it took me to close the digital wallet and open Ticketmaster she made several rude comments about how I was trying to use a theater ticket and that traffic was backing up. I got Ticketmaster open and she insisted it was a theater ticket despite me showing her where it said parking--repeatedly. She finally scanned it and it worked because i had, in fact, paid for parking. I've never encountered someone so rude at Gammage before. Tickets aren't cheap. Parking isn't either. If they can't use the digital wallet for parking, which they use inside for tickets, fine. But it doesn't say that anywhere when buying parking online. If the parking attendant needs the pass in Ticketmaster that's fine but say that instead of being rude and accusatory. So we get inside and Girl From North Country was, in my opinion, just painfully bad. We debated leaving at intermission. We should have. Near the end of the play there were several loud thumps then people started yelling. The lights stayed down as more people started yelling. I can't explain how unnerving it is to sit in the dark as people around you start to panic. I'm still not entirely sure what happened. We quickly left the second the lights came up. The whole situation felt unsafe--like there is no emergency plan. Given I usually bring my kids to shows, it really made me question if I want to continue to do so. I had purchased tickets to one upcoming show during the presale this season but I'm debating putting them up for resale after this experience.

Very solid experience for watching a show. Saw Hamilton live and the seats were great and food offering was solid. I would gladly return to watch another show.

We just saw Wicked. And excellent production but a couple times the sound was turned up and it was way too loud. Then...Gammage....if you're going to charge $20 for parking then have some damn traffic control when we leave. We're still in the parking lot, have moved 20 feet, and been here for 25 minutes.

Gammage is always bringing a truly exceptional season, and season tickets are a must for any Broadway enthusiast! I've enjoyed many productions at Gammage and one of my favorite things is trying the show speciality drinks. The bartending crew is friendly, fast, and constantly concocting unique beverages for each show! I recommend showing up an hour early so you have time for a drink, and snag any merchandise before the lines get long. Helps to also avoid parking lot jams with everyone trying to park. Heads up if you haven't been recently! They have mandated a clear bag policy! Be sure to look up the specifics as they will turn patrons around to go put in their car. Enjoy the show, you will not be disappointed in Gammage!

Only posting to find out if they have gotten a new sound system. It's been horrible since 2010. This next season seems wonderful, but not if the sound is as bad as it has been for over a decade. Please Gammage let us know :)

Unbelievably expensive and disappointing experience. Accoustics were horrible! Though we were recipients of a screaming baby in the middle of the performance! Sadly, not kidding. Will never ever book anything at this auditorium again. I've been told Frank Lloyd Wright designed this auditorium. I can say without hesitation it may be his only failure!

ASU Gammage has such a beautiful exterior. It was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and opened in 1964. It is circular with 50 concrete columns, stands 80 ft high, and has two long pedestrian bridges. There have been so many iconic shows here. I personally have seen The Phantom Of The Opera, Lion King, and Hamilton over the years. The building is multipurpose and has also hosted concerts, ski movies, and presidential debates. When I was a student at ASU, I remember walking by Gammage to my car and seeing Bill Clinton from afar standing on the bridge giving a speech during his presidential campaign. I also saw my very first concert here as a kid. The inside of ASU Gammage is showing its age and is overdue for an upgrade. It holds around 3,000 people and has three levels of seating. The top level can be a little scary to look down from and has no knee space if you are tall like me. Plus there are some partially obstructed view seating. The seats are arranged by even and odd numbers which usually confuses people. And the beverage, merchandise, and bathroom lines can be really long depending on the show. Until recently, parking was free and can sometimes be a pain to get out of. But Gammage does bring in quality Broadway shows which is why I still go. Despite its age, Gammage's architecture is still breathtaking to look at and has been a big part of my upbringing. So as long as they keep bringing in amazing shows, I'll still keep going.

I've been attending Broadway performances at Gammage for 7 years and I really like this performance venue. Seating options vary, but no matter where you sit you have great views. They have so many pieces or art you can interact with prior to a performance starting along with food and drink options to make your night more special. Some not as well known features in this space are Thursday talkbacks with touring broadway cast members posts shows and checking out assistive hearing devices-both are at no additional cost. I will so parking is limited for larger performances and acoustics inside are at best a 8/10.

WHY ARE THEY USING TICKETMASTER!! It simply doesn't work. My friend and I (and other people there) had the same issue, not being able to sign in and download the tickets. Very frustrating and I was ready for a fight. The person at the box office was very helpful and explained that you do not have to purchase tickets through ticketmaster. Get your act together ticketmaster!! PS Very disappointed in Hamilton. Could not understand one word they were saying and three hours of rapping was more than enough for me.

We had the pleasure to visit the ASU Gammage theater yesterday to see The Lion King on Broadway and it was a wonderful and great experience. We had seats up in balcony 2 so our view of the bottom floor was a little obscured so the full effect of seeing the animals walk through the audience was lost on my kids, but other than that it was great. The facility had a great process in place and was able to handle the thousands of people in attendance. Every seat in our are was full so that just goes to show how great the show was. A good tip a worker shared when she saw how long the bathroom line was up in the balcony area was to go downstairs and you could get through faster. The upstairs bathroom only had a few stalls, while downstairs had a lot (probably close to 20). We didn't have to wait at all going downstairs. There was both delays in starting the show on time (about 15 mins late) and then again after intermission (about 10 mins late), then there was an unexpected stop to the show in the second half for about 10 mins. One word of note, if you don't make it back to your seat before the show starts they will not let you go to your seat, but instead you will have to stand or be locked out. It sucks for those this happens to, but is a good thing for those that want to fully enjoy the show without the disturbance of people passing buying and getting up a lot. Other than the delays everything went well and we had a great time. I could definitely see us coming back to see more productions.

First here and I saw "a soldier's play" ... lots of staff around. Bathrooms were clean too. Loved the Thursday talks after the play.

I bought a parking spot for $70 at the "recommended" parking lot for Wicked at the Gammage. We parked, only to find it was .6 miles from the Theater. (117 E. 5th St.) bought through ticket center. What a waste of time & $. Don't ever get trapped as I did!

Saw "Jagged Little Pill" Wonderful show. Enjoyed with friends who love Alanis Morissette.

Elegant venue marred by terrible acoustics; performance overshadowed by shrieking sounds, making for a disappointing experience. I left at intermission.

I purchased 3 tickets to Wicked and all three of us had extreme difficulty hearing any of the actors words. There are absolutely no speakers on the sides or in the back like a movie theater. Btw, I am no theater connoisseur or sound expert however, we just saw Jersey Boys at the Phoenix theater company and we had absolutely no problem hearing the actors at all. This place may have good acoustics, but the sound system for wicked was absolutely horrible. For the price that I paid for these three tickets, I'm just disappointed at the quality of sound or amplification.

**Experience during covid-19 *** masks are required during the entire show. Make sure you arrive a little early to verify that you got room to go park and walk inside. If you are in the gold lots then it's a quick walk but if you are in Maroon garage you might be to add a few minutes for the walk since it's a few blocks away. The theater is in good condition and the acoustics were good. The seats are not the most comfortable but at least had a little leg room to allow for others to pass by while you are sitting. Granted if you are tall, this might not be the case. The drinks had a line but it went by fast and it was pretty tasty. If you want an alcoholic drink and a none alcoholic you need to buy from two different places. Otherwise I had a fantastic time and enjoyed Hamilton very much.

Parking was easy and my husband and I were impressed by how quickly we could exit by car, there was no wait! The staff is friendly and helpful in finding your seat. There is a metal detector check upon entrance and a bag policy so make sure to check that before coming. I did see they had a bag check table outside if you didn't want to take your larger purse back to your car (not sure how secure it is). The drink price was $10 per drink and they were strong! Worth it in my opinion. We saw Annie and the show was excellent. We will definitely look into coming to more shows here!

We've been here several times for shows over the years and it's always an amazing experience. Their website says to arrive an hour early for parking, walking and security checks but we've always been able to park close ($10 parking charge) and walk in quickly through security. I appreciate the extra security checks and metal detectors for everyone's safety. Check their website for different packages and deals especially if you're bringing children. Also, make sure you check for security updates. It's pretty common knowledge I think but only small, clear bags can be brought into the theatre. Masks are optional. They have fun theme cocktails for $10 and lots of food and snack options like cheese & crackers, sandwiches, candy, huge brownies etc. Prices are a little steep but not shockingly high. Ushers are posted near each section of doors going into the theatre to guide you to your seats. The rows are pretty steep and narrow making it a bit precarious to navigate but the view of the stage is good. Not a bad seat in the house. We saw "Lion King" on our last visit and it was AMAZING!! Exceptional actors, music and very visually dynamic! A wonderful experience that exceeded all expectations.

We have seen many Peter Pan performances in different venues over the last 16 years, because our granddaughter loves Peter Pan. Last night I took her to see Peter Pan which was the WORSE Peter Pan performance ever in all those years and, that includes three high school performances! The actress who played Wendy was lifeless and either her mic was bad or she didn't know how to project to the audience. She mumbled and the lack of emotion was terrible. We couldn't understand why she was dressed like she was going out, instead in a nightgown ready for bed, it was strange and confusing. What was the director thinking when they didn't have NANA in the cast. Mr. Darling eluded to the fact, "Maybe we should buy a dog...a shaggy dog". At the intermission my granddaughter and I stepped out onto a balcony and we saw lots of people coming out of the theatre. I thought it was so they could have a cigarette, but NO, they went to their cars and were leaving! When we got back after the intermission, there was a constant flow of people leaving the performance. That's sad and very telling of how it was going. The play was slow, boring, and had no joy. The actors, except for Peter Pan and Captain Hook, we dull, and seemed to just be getting through the night. We had a difficult time hearing 85% of the actors which was disappointing. All in all, save your money, my money went down the drain.

Visited ASU Gammage last night for the first time to watch the magnificent Dance Theatre of Harlem performance. The show was absolutely amazing and Gammage was the perfect place to host this event. I loved the fact that they had open seating. Giving those of us who are early birds first dibs on the good seats. I can't wait for the next show. Me and my family has a great time.

Wen to ASU gammage and saw Hamilton! The show was amazing and the cast was spectacular. People always will complain about the parking for Gammage being terrible. Yes, I agree, it's not the best, but when you get the email with confirmation for your tickets, you're warned to get their an hour early or park at one of the garages nearby instead. If you do that, then it's a breeze and there's not an issue! Overall ASU Gammage was a good experience. The show is 5/5 for sure, but the venue has a few things left to be desired. You have to make sure that you get a seat that is not on the edges, and much more centered, otherwise you may not be able to see some of the play. The sound is great and I feel that even though I sat in the second level, I could audibly understand everything that the actors/actresses were saying and singing. But if you are concerned about hearing well, ASU Gammage offers headsets that you can wear during the play so you can hear everything clearly, at no extra charge either! They also have multiple concession stands inside so you can grab a glass of wine, a soda, some water, or some light snacks to munch on during the show. If you have a show or play that you know you'll like, you can't go wrong with seeing it here!

Don't bother seeing girl from the North country at asu Gammage. The acoustics were awful. Most of the dialogue was not understandable. The plot is weak.

saw Hamilton on 6/25/24 with 2 friends. Very disappointed! Acoustics were terrible! we could hear but the words were so muffled we had no idea what was going on! it appeared to be an amazing production but we didn't enjoy it. I spoke to others while we were walking out and they agreed! We paid a lot of $$$ for those tickets! i won't go to Gammage again!

Couldn't decide whether this was a four or five star .. went with the five star .. it is an older theater but that's ok because the shows, the location, the staff all get it done .. you will find parking but there will be a line and or a fee.. followed by a walk to the theater When you go to a movie in 2018.. you get your own recliner.. here you get small seats with small aisles so get here early so you're not climbing over people to get to your seat.. The quality of the shows is top notch, quality of the sound is good, the pop up bars put out good drinks and the sweet treats look amazing .. plus people leave here in a great mood ..

Home of the best touring Broadway shows and an amazing Frank Lloyd Wright designed facility.

We just watched a great show there, lion king. It was fabulous. It made my heart happy. But 2 complaints. First we were in the orchestra section. So we were in very nice seats. They were pricey. But worth the view and experience. 3 seats to the right of me, this lady kept going on her phone. And it wasn't a kid or a teenager. She was at least in her 40s with 2 teenagers. Then trying to leave. That was horrible!! And completely stupid. We parked right next to the exit in the parking garage. Which is also about 20ft to the road. They wouldn't let us leave there. We had to go completely around and then join with the parking from in front of gammage building. It was not laid out well

I was there for a production of Wicked! The Show was great!!! It was my first time in this beautiful theater but not my last.

The inside of Gammage is generally very crowded before the shows begin. Sometimes there are random groups of people standing in the middle of the walkway rather than along the walls and people have to weave around those groups of individuals. I liked that Gammage renovated the women's restroom very much. It made using the restroom during intermission a lot easier. There was even a female employee in the restroom telling the ladies which stalls were unoccupied. I think that my impression of Gammage generally changes with the shows I watch. I recently saw Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I didn't see as much special visual effects as I have seen with other musicals. I generally also like musicals better than plays. Usually the theater gets cold after the show begins so I would recommend that all patrons bring a sweater or light jacket, even in the summer.

This place is completely horrible ASU Gammage is completely overcrowded with way more people than its capacity can hold security guards & police officers are completely clueless on how to manage drop offs and pick ups do to severe overcrowding going on there this is completely unsafe the way everything is managed over at ASU Gammage ( someone is going to get severely hurt or worse ) ( I will never go back never ever again )

Went to see Hamilton. If it's just based on the show alone, it is 5 stars for sure! No doubt about that. The 1 star off rating is regarding the venue itself and my experience. During the show there is someone actively vaping and the staff did nothing about it. The vaping had such a strong smell it's disturbing the experience. Many attendees, including myself, was very much bothered by it. Unfortunately, the staff did not step in to correct the situation.

The ASU Gammage is a huge pavilion that feels like it seats 10,000, but in reality it's only 3,000 or so. We've seen a few plays here, most recently the Book of Mormon and now Hamilton. Seating is somewhat basic, given the prices they charge. Think narrow, bulkhead Economy Airline seats. We much prefer the (ATC) Arizona Theatre Company's Herberger. Granted you don't see many recent Broadway shows there, but everything is top notch and up to date. I only wish that ATC could come in and update Gammage. As for our recent visit, Hamilton might be the best play we've ever seen! Yes, it's that good. Download the Hamilton App and try the Lottery. We did and we got lucky. Enjoy!

Have been to a few productions here. Usual issues with a venue holding a popular production, Hamilton, parking, no where to stand without congestion waiting for the doors to open, queues for bathrooms. Interior a little dated, but a quick splash of paint would lift the feel of the place. Super friendly people that are really helpful when you ask a question that I am sure has been asked a hundred times tonight already In row 26 and really happy while not on top of the stage I am not super far away and can see the stage well. Bonus of this seat is that I am on the end and not in the crush of people..... a little breathing space and I don't have to climb over people. The added bonus was sitting next to a person with a service dog which made it super great. A friendly lick and nuzzle from "Teacup" was nice Hamilton was brilliant
