Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts

This venue is okay. Will call and security check were very fast, easy, and organized. Ushers were super friendly and welcoming. Acoustics were good, and I liked the seating layout-​lots of aisle space and well constructed seats. Only $ 6 for wine and mixed drinks.
Several of the security guards were very mean, and took their jobs way too seriously. The concert I saw was fantastic, so overall, a good experience.

Awesome venue!!! I will not review the concert, that wouldn’t be fair.
The seats were very comfortable and surprisingly spacious. There was plenty of leg room so I was pleasantly surprised.
I was also surprised at the lack of security. I am used to being patted down and having things, like a camera, taken away from me. I was able to take my camera in with the understanding pictures of the performance were not allowed. I thought being treated like an adult was GREAT!
The theatre is beautiful and the sounds was magnificent. The location is easy to get to, the parking more than plentiful. I like the fact that it is in the middle of a college town so there was plenty to do before the concert.
I wish this venue was closer, but if someone I’m dying to see shows up at the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts, you can bet I’ll be there.

What a great venue. The seats are comfortable, and the auditorium is just the right size for seeing most shows. They also offer a wide variety of acts each season. The types of acts they can draw depends on what’s touring each season, but the programmers do a respectable job of bringing quality shows to town. Parking can be a bit scattered. You might have to walk a couple of blocks, but if you’re like me, a couple of blocks won’t hurt.

What a BEAUTIFUL place… the renovations are amazing. Have been to several performances, both evening and educational matinees… always wonderful. Their private seating area is perfect for amazing meals.

The Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts has recently finished some great renovations and looks fantastic. I saw Ladysmith Black Mambazo here last year and will see the Indigo Girls here in a few weeks. There will also be speakers; David Sedaris was here in October. It seems like few people actually check here for shows. There won’t be a great show here every week, but it’s definitely worth checking the schedule once in a while.
