Broward Center for the Performing Arts

Too bad Mark is the most rude usher. He missed the woman ordering products with the large blaring white screen. But made sure I moved to my assigned seat , he missed the three seat jumpers that went 10 rows closer, but he verbally lashed me for moving three seats to avoid a problem with a woman on her phone. 🥲

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I went to see & Juliet at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, and it was absolutely amazing. I first saw this show in New York and loved it there, and it was just as incredible here. The theater itself is beautiful, spacious, and very well designed. It’s a large venue, but it still feels comfortable and organized, and the seating layout gives you a great view from almost anywhere you sit. The sound and lighting were excellent, and everything felt very professional and well run. From the moment you walk in, the space feels grand and elegant, making the whole experience even more special. Such a fun, high-energy show in an incredible theater. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend both the show and the venue!

We went to the Jon Batiste concert at the Au Rene theatre. It was superb! Valet parking and entry were super organized. Seats were comfortable and sound was excellent . Staff super courteous and friendly. There is a bar close to the entrance where you can grab a drink and a quick bite. Excellent experience! Bathrooms spotless.

What a wonderful experience from start to finish at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. The ushers were fantastic — incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which set the tone for a great evening the moment we arrived. And Les Misérables was simply outstanding. Truly the best show ever. The cast was absolutely fabulous — powerful performances, beautiful voices, and deeply moving from beginning to end. An unforgettable night at a world-class venue. We can’t wait to come back.

We have been coming to the Broward Center Got The Performing Arts for decades. I find this venue very comfortable and welcoming. We have seen both musicals and plays and have always had a great experience. I can't wait to go back! We always end up having dinner in the area since there are great restaurants nearby. Pro tip: there is plenty of parking at the Museum of Discovery and Science.

Over more than 13 years I’ve seen many amazing productions at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, including (but not limited to!) Wicked, The King and I, Anastasia, The Lion King, and hopefully soon Les Miserables. I’ve seen the Slow Burn Theatre Company perform, attended multiple shows by Broadway on Tour, and have attended private events in the Porter Riverview Ballroom as well. The Broward Center is seminal to the performing arts & culture scene in Fort Lauderdale and I look forward to attending many more events and productions in the years to come!

First time visiting the Broward Center to watch The Rock Orchestra live! Great venue, accessible parking, wonderful crowd engagement, and best of all, a fantastic show! Classics from the great rock legends to contemporary musicians, The Rock Orchestra captures these elements for a night of exceptional rock.

Great venue in a beautiful facility ....Saw off Broadway musical this time. Sound and lighting is awesome. Only complaint would be that itbwas extremely cold inside so bring a light jacket or something similar. Staff is great and very helpful. Decent bar available for intermissions.....parking garage is right across the street...not too expensive either. A few decent places nearby for a quick meal as well.

Loved it! Went to see Life of Pi! Great show! The Arts Center is beautiful inside and out with very friendly, helpful staff. The staff was on point they easily noticed when guests were lost/confused and immediately assisted with smiles on their faces! Great attitude anywhere makes for a GREAT EXPERIENCE! Awesome photo spots !

Love Broward Center of Performing Arts. I see a show at least 5 times a year, and Broward is where it's at. I have a lot of history here because my high school hosted it's graduation ceremony there as well and it's very close to my childhood home.

The Broward Center for the Performing Arts is where Fort Lauderdale grew up and learned how to dress for the theater. When it opened in 1991, it wasn't just another building -- it was a statement: that this town wasn't just spring break kitsch and beach bars, it could be a cultural capital in its own right. And they pulled it off. I've walked through these doors more times than I can count, and every time it feels like a homecoming. I've seen Broadway tours that could stand shoulder to shoulder with New York, orchestras that shook the rafters, and plays that left the crowd in that rare silence where everyone's processing what they just saw. The Au-Rene Theater itself -- the jewel in the crown -- has acoustics so sharp you can hear a pin drop from the balcony, and sightlines that don't punish you for being a few rows back. But it's not just the shows. It's the way the place carries itself. The setting on the New River gives it a kind of magic you don't expect until you're standing there at intermission, cocktail in hand, watching the city lights flicker on the water. It's Fort Lauderdale's reminder that you don't have to get on a plane to experience something world-class. Over the years, I've seen this center evolve -- expanding programs, nurturing young talent, hosting everyone from Broadway royalty to hometown productions. It's not just a theater, it's a living, breathing part of the city's story. A kind of cultural anchor in a place where anchors usually mean yachts. If you're visiting Fort Lauderdale, forget the cliché tourist circuit for a night. Get a ticket here. If you're local, you already know.

I have been to the Broward Center for the Performing Arts several times over the years. This time it was for a play/musical called Shucked. I won these tickets and the seats were very good. We were orchestra right. It was easy to see and hear what was going on. The show was great. The area where you wait to go in has somewhat limited space. They did not have a huge menu of drink choices. It was OK because we ate and drank before we got here. The ushers were nice enough.

We came here to watch the MJ Musical and it did not disappoint. Everything was smooth, from parking, to bag check-in, and finding our seats with plenty of staff to help. The bar area for light food and drinks did not have long wait lines. The bathrooms were very clean and staff were super friendly. The seats were also very comfortable and the show was amazing. Exceptional performances. I would return for another show.

The Broward Center for the Performing Arts stands out as a premier venue in South Florida, offering a rich cultural experience with its stellar acoustics, diverse programming, and inviting ambiance. Whether attending a Broadway show, a concert, or a community event, visitors can expect a memorable and enjoyable outing. We recently went to watch the Lion King Musical and it was amazing. We've seen lots of different shows and have never been disappointed. The theater itself is always very clean and well kept - that also goes for the bathrooms, which is a plus and very important. The staff are always very welcoming and attentive. I will 100% recommend for you to try the Intermezzo Lounge experience! You can enjoy SO many hot/cold hor d'oeuvres options, dessert, AND also either wine/champagne/beer. The lounge is open 45 mins prior to the performance and then also during the intermission. The bartender was amazing - he would notice our champagne was almost done and he would come over to our table to refill our glass. He definitely did not need to do that but it was very appreciated. I was so spoiled and will definitely be doing it again.

Did you know Broward Center is one of the top 10 theaters for live performances in the US? I didn't until recently. I've been coming here since I was a child. The outside and inside is so beautiful. The set up is great, although there are some seats that are very hard and uncomfortable. The last time we came here, we saw Harry Potter with an orchestra, we were in the left mezzanine and it was perfect. Comfy seats, great view, and the show was wonderful. There's a lot of snack and drink concessions areas. Not cheap but hits the spot and a lot of variety which is nice. In the past, I've seen Phantom of the Opera, Joshua Bell, Green Day, Les Miserables, etc. My only tiny complaints are: -the restrooms are tiny, and there's always a huge line for the ladies room -we needed directions within and one of the ushers was totally confused and gave us the wrong directions Other than that, always great and I'll return when I want to splurge on my next show.

Great theater. Easy parking in the adjoining garage. Visited for a movie showing with the orchestra playing the score. The screen was smaller than in other venues. Plenty of snack/drink options available. Good location near downtown Fort Lauderdale to walk after the show.

We love Broadway shows, concerts, and live events in general. Broward Center for the Performing Arts is a great venue for shows. Funny as we don't really see many shows in our own backyard because we try to catch the big shows in NYC or CA. Need to come here more! They have great line ups annually. Broward Center for the Performing Arts is the main venue with several theaters amongst the venue within walking distance in the same area such as the Amaturo Theater, The Parker, Au-Rene Theater and several more. We saw Sponge Bob at The Parker and saw Shen Yun at Au Rene Theater. Came here last year when we scored some discounted tickets on Lucky Seats for SpongeBob: The Musical, yes I said that. Not gonna lie, it was actually fun and a cute show all in all. My 10-year old son absolutely loved it! Saw posters advertised for Shen Yun coming to Fort Lauderdale and Miami in Jan 2025 so I had to get tickets for me and my mom for a date day. My mom has been wanting to see this show forever now!!! She always talks about it but the show but she's never here in town when they are here. This time it worked out perfectly. I got Orchestra Center seats in Row Y and it was perfect, so close with a great view. Allow yourself enough time to work around the traffic, lines and security. The lines are insane getting into the parking garage. It can get hectic! Once you park, make sure you pay for parking on Parking Mobile App. Parking cost us $15, that was the minimum amount for 6 hours. Great venue locally with big shows and little shows!

Love coming here and watching plays. Even when leaving traffic isn't too bad. I've never had an issue getting my tickets or getting in and out.

There are 5-6 rooms to accommodate various events simultaneously. I went there for Indian Independence celebrations. The auditoriums were very nice. The seats were comfortable. I really liked the layout. You can park either on the street on at the garage but on weekends, the garage tends to be a lot more expensive especially if you are there only for an hour or two. On the weekends, the min is 4 hour parking. You can take a walk at the esplanade area in front before or after your event if you want to kill some time.

Locating the theater and parking is a breeze. There are a few entrances to keep the lines down. The theater is dated. I found the seats very uncomfortable. There should definitely be more beverage and food options during show intermissions. There also aren't enough bathroom stalls to handle the influx of guests during breaks. What I found extremely annoying is the fact that there are no cup holders on the seats so you have to nowhere to rest your overpriced drink. The show itself was great but the theater needs updating.

MJ Live an amazing musical showcasing the life of Michael Jackson. I laughed i cried sang and danced in my seat. Such a n amazing show

Shen Yun I've seen this show advertised for years and it has always intrigued me. Finally decided to check it out. Wow, what a disappointment! The dancers were very good, but there was nothing else going on. There was no real production. There was a screen in the back that changed pictures. That's about it. No scenery, just nothing. A big bore. I wouldn't recommend this show at all.

We have been here a bunch of times. Atmosphere is nice and the shows are usually real good. This time the show was very good. Shucked. Check them out. The seats were not. So uncomfortable. Old seats I suppose. With all the money they're making, they can't upgrade their cushions. Wow. We almost left early.

Great concert and show tonight, very entertaining almost like a tribute to New York with videos in the background certain music. Leah has a great voice, I had such a wonderful evening with my son and my daughter-in-law it's a beautiful venue however this particular Orchestra will be moving to the Parker Playhouse in the future but I'll always love the Broward Performing Arts Center!

Went to the Broward Center tonight to see the Miami City Ballet performing A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare. Wonderful time! I paid $15 for parking in the garage across the street with the ParkMobile app. The place looks great and I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. The performance was wonderful. Something new I've never seen before: No physical programs, just scan the qr code on the card they gave me and pull up all the program notes on your phone. I wanted to grab a bite to eat after and was planning on going to Pummarola but decided at the last minute to go to the Chimney House accross the street because I wanted to try something new; I have been to Pummarola and it's great. Looking forward to many more entertainment activities at the Broward Center. Highly recommend!:)

I had the opportunity to go see the Narnia play with my child class. It was my first time visiting this place so I was not sure what exactly to expect. I feel employees could be a little bit more nicer, but it was understandable since there were so many schools visiting for the plays and they could have been overwhelmed. Everything inside and outside overall look very clean and organized. The plate itself was very nice and the actors and actresses did a splendid job .

The Broward Center for the Performing Arts is an outstanding venue that offers an exceptional experience for any theater-goer. The architecture is stunning, blending modern design with comfortable, spacious seating that provides great views from every angle. Took my Mother-in-Law to see one of her favorite artist - Beres Hammond. She had the night of her life, singing along to every song! The staff is friendly, helpful, and organized, making the experience smooth from start to finish. Even with lines, the bar and concessions stands were still very efficient. The location is along the river, which adds a picturesque backdrop to an already wonderful outing. So if you love taking pictures and selfies there are some really good spots to take great photos. Overall, this was a really good experience!

Went to Broward County Center for the Preforming Arts for first time. It started in1991 seat capacity - appropriately 2500. Bathrooms on various floors. A modern style decor with plenty for theater goers. ( see Pix) Restaurant for food, bar for drinks, show items for sale and Ushers both hired and volunteers. Note: re: Parking-a garage, a 15.00 fee, one must use phone to set up payment. Also note where you park and level and spot . There are stairways down. Walk down street cross over for entrance. Our seats were at the very top, even space to stand or dance should the performance be one to present such music. This show was on Saturday January 25th A Neil Diamond play called A beautiful noise the day just after his 84th birthday. Note here-*-see YouTube- for the special way that Actor, singer performer Nick Fradiani, (convincingly captures his voice actions and movements) shared a Happy Birthday from the audience on that special day. Without giving info away, the show opens to the current Neil of today, played by Robert Westenberg In a psychotherapy session reviewing his life; sometimes intense and not always easy on his way to Sucess. Various songs are incorporated and preformed, with an orchestra in the background conducted by energetic Nancy O'Connor. The playbill notes Ninako Donville joining the company as a Swing.( What's a Swing? Look it up) There is even a letter from Neil included, as well as noting his name in the who's who for-music and lyrics. An extra star if you are one of his fans.

While parking at the garage was a few blocks away, we loved visiting the venue to see a live show. The facilities were very clean. The theater seats were comfortable..

I went to see Mrs. Doubtfire here with friends. Now, when you park in the parking garage, there is no attendant, you need to use their app (still costs $15 but no attendant). I say use the garage and not valet because you will still get out of their fast and for less money. They still wand you before you go into the Center. Make sure y ou check out the "Step and Repeats" before the shows you go to so you could snap a great picture. The theatre was very busy and our seats were pretty good (upper orchestra). The ushers were very nice and I even ran into one of them that is a friend of mine. Lots of restrooms so that is not a problem. They do have a nice choice of drinks and snacks (although I didn't have any), but they are a bit expensive. A good venue for the theatre!

Saw the Neil Diamond review and thoroughly enjoyed it with my friends. Had a quick meal before the show.

Amazing theatre. Large. Park in the garage. Eat inside at the Intermezzo. Lots of shows. Get there. Near downtown Ft Laud.

What a beautiful venue! I saw Whiskey Myers acoustic concert here. The sound was amazing and the proximity to the stage was super cool. We were about half way back in orchestra left but were able to see everyone excitement well. I love smaller venues.

The center is beautiful and the view of the stage is excellent even from the upper balcony. Sound is excellent and the seats are comfortable. Today I saw the Book of Mormon. This is my third time seeing this show. Today it seemed that there were numerous pitch issues with some of the singers but the overall singing was okay. The dancing is excellent as is the choreography. Many of these singers seemed a bit unseasoned and for that reason I preferred the original cast. The second act was wonderful in every way. My favorite performer was the girl lead. TheBroward Center has bars on each floor and seating. It really is a lovely facility and these tickets were reasonably priced.

My daughter and I saw Mean Girls here last night at the Amaturo theater. It was a delightful musical experience enjoyed it very much.

We have been here many times for performances and for the South Florida Symphony Orchestra gala. They have great organizational skills and hospitality, we haven't had any issues and the food served at the gala was delicious!

We went to see the Harry Potter movie with a live orchestra. Super fun experience! The theater is really beautiful and worth a visit. We splurged and got tickets that included the Spirit Club which was really nice with free drinks and food. Overall a great experience!

7 of us went to see Comedian Leann Morgan at the Broward Center last night. Our seats were on the right end, but not too far from the stage. 5 of us who were furthest to the right end of the aisle didn't hear 95% of the show. Very disappointing, as we had looked forward to this show for months, took Uber from Miami & love Leanne Morgan. Beautiful venue, but sound system was the worst. Had to go home & watch her on Utube!

I went here recently to go see Beetlejuice the Musical. I purchased the Intermezzo Lounge experience to go with it. The actual building is really nice and updated. It feels clean and bright when you enter. The employees inside are very friendly and willing to help direct you or answer any questions. The seats are great too. They're comfortable and spacious. I recommend getting seats in the orchestra section. My seats were located in Row W, and honestly, they were perfect for a great view! The only negative I have for the seats is the fact that there are no cup holders. When I got up for intermission, many people left their plastic cups on the floor, which caused some people to stumble or trip trying to navigate around them. The Intermezzo Lounge experience is worth it if you want to eat a couple of appetizers before seeing the show. They had some delicious items: cookies, puddings, fondue, fruit, cheese, and a charcuterie board. The drinks are complimentary in there with the package, and you can go before and during the intermission. The bathrooms were immaculate, and there seemed to be plenty of stalls, at least for the woman's bathroom, I can attest to. As for the show itself, it was fantastic. The lighting and sound were top quality, and I had no issues with any of the technical features. Parking isn't too bad, either. You can park in the parking garage across the street for 15$ or get valet parking. However, I need to find out how much the valet parking cost since I did not utilize it. You must note, though, if you use the parking garage, you will have to walk up a slight incline to get to the performance theater, which may be difficult for certain individuals. Overall, I will come back to this location for more Broadway shows.

I have been to the center probably eight different times. most recently for a comedy show...very excited about almost a front row seat! I was shocked to find that the acoustics were as bad as the balcony! everything is pricey, the building itself very nice, top rated shows with several venues....can't you address the less than average accoustics? i listened to people around me repeating what the comedian just said because their companion had missed it. not the first time I have experienced the problem but over the top when you are sitting front row center! terrible!

Why? I love musicals with different story lines and attend the Broward Center every chance I get which is quite often. My question is why is it the norm to use Gods name in vain! There is no reason. Please, please have writers think before adding it on. I have walked out of the last 2 musicals, in which I was truly enjoying. I understand they are trying to convey emotions. It would be wonderful if it didn't have to break one of The Ten Commandments.. My heart breaks, for the talented hard working artists, when I walk out. I pray this gets to the right person.

I've been coming to the Broward Center for years. I've seen plays, musicals and concerts here and have always enjoyed my experience here. I use to come here initally many times as a college student because they would offer great seats and prices for being a student, just bring your student ID! It's located in Fort Lauderdale near the river and near one of the beautiful parks. It can get a bit hectic driving there depending on the time and day as it is the city, but it's nothing like going to Miami at the Arsht center. They have the parking garage right across the street so it's quick walk over. They also offer valet parking directly in front of the center, which is great if you don't mind spending a little extra to get in and out after. Inside they offer concessions such as quick snacks, soft drinks, wine and beer as well as mixed drinks. However, depending on how much you're willing to spend it can get a bit pricey. I don't typically buy anything from there as I head over to one of the copious places to eat nearby outside the center. They do offer a couple inclusive lounges for a fixed price where you can have food and drinks. I've done the one with the Intermezzo Lounge once for the Anastasia play and it was a wonderful treat for my husband and myself. The seats within the main theater are incredible. I've sat in many different areas within it and I've enjoyed ever spot. Sometimes you can't beat a front row view though! The staff and ushers are certainly friendly and extremely helpful answering any questions you may have or directing you to your seat. Many are actually volunteers who just enjoy supporting the arts any way they can. They do a lot and are a crucial part of the Broward Performing Arts Center. I absolutely love this place and enjoy coming here for events so much that this year I became a season ticket holder and for myself it is definitely worth it. It makes me happy to see so many visitors (consistent ones and new ones) coming to the center to support the arts!

Loved seeing this show as I've heard about it for years and finally went. It was everything and more...Yes plenty of Irish Dancing along with Flamenco, Russian Dancers, amazing instrumentals, choir and heart pounding drumming along with beautiful backdrops. The Broward Center is a beautiful venue. We had good seats but luckily were able to move a few rows back as i had a very large head in front of my very short body. Although this dance company was only here on tour for a short time, i recommend everyone see this show the next time it cones around. Don't wait another 25 years!

I had a great time during the live comedy show by Michelle Buteau at this venue. The seating was traditional bucket seats in the theater our performers reserved. The bathroom line was a bit of a hassle as there esas only one upstairs with one stall in it so you can imagine the line was quite long. The staff members were amazing. They gave greetings at all entrances throughout the building. The usher was extremely helpful in guiding guests to their seats and friendly. The two women bartending were comical and offered me a spiked coffee. Besides the restroom delay it was smiles and enjoyment. I'd definitely return for another show.

This was my first time visiting this venue. We saw the Little Mermaid play. Parking was convenient in the parking garage across the street. It was $15 to park for the night. The venue was nice and well-maintained. I would come back here for other plays.

Everything was wonderful. The food was terrific. Everybody was wonderful that were there and I plan to go again very soon.

This is a Pre Cruise Visit & I always try to make it to the theater! Located only a couple of miles from Embassy suites. A Beautiful theater! We saw Tina Turner the Musical! Good performance! Friendly and Helpful staff! We sat in the Mezzanine row F perfect view! We had dinner beforehand at The Chimney House about a block away ( Very good),

The Broward Center for the Performing Arts is a beautiful venue on the river in downtown Ft. Lauderdale. The center has been providing world class events since 1991. There is a convenient parking garage connected to the center by a sky walk. The garage is $15 and there is also valet available. You are required to go through security and a metal detector prior to entering the venue. The lobby opens an hour prior to the performance and there are bars and concession stands to get drinks and snacks. The night I was there the outside Peck Courtyard bar was open and was beautifully lit up. The Intermezzo lounge is also open for many performances for an additional charge of $40 for soda, beer, wine and appetizers before the show and at intermission. The Spirit Lounge on the mezzanine level also has food and drinks for patrons in the center mezzanine section. The venue is very clean and well maintained. Check out the calendar on their website, there are so many diverse shows from Broadway, ballet, concerts to comedians. The ushers are very helpful and ensure you get to your seat safely. The Au Rene theater is the largest while the Amaturo and New River Room are smaller. None of the seats even in the balcony have obstructed views. The acoustics are great. There are plenty of restrooms and they are always very clean and well stocked. Service at the bars is efficient and you have plenty of time during intermission to get a drink and get back to your seat in time. I have enjoyed every show I have seen at the Broward Center, I encourage you to check out upcoming events and have a memorable evening.

I recently attended a matinee performance of Mean Girls. The show was fun! Valet parking was worth the $30 price tag, but there are also other parking options. For me, the convenience of using the valet service was helpful. After the show, we did have a wait to get our car. The line moved quickly, so it really wasn't that bad. Thankfully, it was a beautiful day, so spending some time outside was nice. Two large bottles of Voss water and a small container of chocolate covered popcorn came out to about eighteen dollars. Expensive yes, but that is to be expected at a theater. At least they allowed us to keep the lids on the water bottles, which I was thrilled about. A few months ago, I attended a concert at an arena in Sunrise, purchased two bottles of water, and we were not allowed to keep the lids, which didn't make me happy. The ushers were helpful in guiding us to our section/seats. We were in the balcony, which I wouldn't do again, nor would I recommend. I was just happy that we got tickets, and the only availability they had left was in the balcony. We still had a great time, and enjoyed ourselves. Very nice theater, and I hope to see many more shows here.

This is now my fourth time visiting the broward center for the performing arts. This time I was fortunate enough to snatch tickets for the Little mermaid. I must say it is always such a pleasant experience when I come here, parking is such a cinch and only 15.00 compared to other places that charge over 30.00 to park. the lines for food and drinks always move very quickly. The staff is always so pleasant and willing to help. The ambiance is relaxed and was very casual this time around. The show is phenomenal. Definitely a must see ...the actors are amazing. The voices are exceptional. Certainly brought us back to our childhood days. I'm hoping to see the show once more before they leave the theatre.

Last minute tickets for Hamilton (woohoo!) Gave me the opportunity to check this theater out. I LOVE the layout, though I was confused about accessibility for wheelchairs since the ramps turned into stairs. Otherwise, I appreciated the architecture and design both interior and exterior. Even in the balcony seats, there were no view instructions and I could see the whole stage. The acoustics were great, too! I really enjoyed the attendees getting into it and singing along Staff were attentive, friendly and got us where we needed to be on time. Parking at the garage across the street was $15 for the whole day!!!

It's a beautiful theater with shows and concerts. We start off eating dinner at the Chimney House and park there. Then we walk across the street to the Theater.

Great Venue Went to see Romeo and Juliet last night at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. Fantastic show ! Very good sound system, ushers we're oh so lovely and seats were amazing. The food inside is a bit "movie theater" esque, pricey and I wish they had better selections but overall fantastic experience. The only negative is that I never went to it sooner. ;)

We went to a show last min, I got there late but only had to wait 7 min to be seated. I like that they have a box office to avoid Ticketmaster fees, and can purchase Tix for the parker there as well. There is a parking garage just across the street, and plenty of street parking. Most of the employees are older, so you do need to be patient and clear with your question.

I consider myself one of the most enthusiastic fans of performing arts, and because of that, I have been to many venues across the three counties in South Florida. I still, every now and then, come across venues that I never knew existed before, but for the most part, I have seen them all, and although each venue presents certain unique features and qualities, still nothing comes close to Au-rene theater at the Broward Center of Performing Arts. The key to enjoying a live performance is a good seat. It has happened to me several times that I have seen the same performance from different seats, and although I may still enjoy the performance from a subpar seat, from a good seat, I live the experience. The ability to see the facial expression or small gestures of the performers, and to be entirely wrapped and mesmerized by the music and the performance, makes all the difference in the world. But, of course, the issue with finding good seats is the price of the tickets. There is no doubt that these seats can be very costly, and it seems like the price increases every year. Even an enthusiastic fan like me needs set a strict budget and pick and choose a few performances each year. And this is where Broward Center stands out. Most venues have the Orchestra seats, but anything beyond that is pretty much unacceptable, at least to me. Broward Center has more good seats with reasonable prices than anywhere else. And I am going to share with a few of you who are reading this what tickets to purchase. The box seats are not only inexpensive and give you a great view, they are also private and give you freedom to move about without disturbing anyone. It makes you feel special. Just don't buy my tickets. I have to cut this short, but everything else in Broward Center is pretty good too. From parking and the time it takes to leave, or if you want to hang out and check out Las Olas, to the food and beverages and the short lines to order, and the professionalism of everyone who works there, it is always a great experience

Huge performance center with comfy seats and bar and snacks available before and during shows. Parking is across the street so easy access. Tyler Henry was in town and absolutely adore him. Bought tickets months ago and was prepared for the show. Make sure to bring a sweater as it can get a little chill but I was still very comfortable. The seating is padded and seats were bigger than normal providing extra comfort. Check in is a cinch and there are people everywhere to help you to your specific seat or guide you where to go. Be sure to use the restroom before the show begins which are located on every floor. Bar has great snacks along with sodas, water, wines, and alcohol. It was so exciting when the show began but unfortunately the sound for Tyler sucked. He told the sound guy, Larry and Larry seemed annoyed. He finally had the speakers working on stage towards the end of the show. The while night people.complained about Tyler continously saying he couldn't hear the person speaking through the mic but made sure the audience could. Larry seemed like he couldn't be bothered and even sounded a little catty when addressing Tyler. I thought that was rude along with the strangers sitting next to both my mom and I. So although we enjoyed the show, sometime was wasted on the center not doing a proper sound check before a performance. So Larry, you suck dude. And shame on the Broward performance center too. Tyler you were amazing and if I could I'd give you all the stars
