Great theatre in the Levine Center for the Arts, part of the Blumenthal Performing Arts Complex. Perfect setting for phenomenal Traces, an urban circus-style acrobatics performance integrated with music, choreography. Loved the show, loved the Knight Theatre - will look for more performances to enjoy at the Knight.

We attended the Celtic Women on 04 28 13. We pulled into the parking lot of the Hearst Tower. When we went to leave the performance the attendant would not accept our prepaid parking thicket and made us pay $16.oo to get out. Needless to say we are unhappy with this and will not be anxious to attend another performance... More

I was at this theater over the weekend to see a community theater play. The area was very nice, easy to get to, and the stage/sound were very good. The seats in the theater we were in were a bit small but other than that I have no complaints. I will be going back this weekend to see Wicked.

Went to see American Idiot last weekend. I had bought tickets in Orchestra so we would have good view. When we got there I realized you can't go wrong in any seat. The cheap seats would have been just fine. The staff is extra friendly - you can tell they love their jobs and the taking drinks into theater is... More

The Blumenthal is a wonfderful theater that hosts a myriad of performances every year. The acoustics are great and the facility is just a super experience. Seating is comfortable, and I've yet to find a "bad" seat in the house. Plentiful parking is available and finding your way into the theater is not difficult from either the street level or... More

No matter what your tastes, the Blumenthal has something for everyone! Although our preference is for theater, we've also enjoyed some of the dance productions and concerts. So thankful to have the Blumenthal in Charlotte!!

The center has great accustics that help bring life to the music. The staff and workers at the Blumenthal have always been very helpful and courteous. Helpful and friendly staff... More

Great theatre with a lot of seating options with a good view of the stage. Good acoustics and a terrific series of holiday shows in December. It connects through indoor walkways to the Omni hotel which is very convenient.
