Great visit! I went to see Wicked with a group of people and the show was amazing. The staff were considerate and polite. The souvenirs were quite expensive though. Overall great experience in a great facility with great staff.
Not a bad seat in the house. Great venue for a Broadway show. Plenty of great Local eats close by. Don't forget to snap a photo prior to the show! Beverages and snacks are always available. Staff are always friendly. Decent seat packages are also available.
Perfection! Went to see "A Christmas Story'. Could have not been better.
Performance, Music, Staff, Cushioned Seats and Facilities with parking at Fountain Square for only $6.00. Thank you for a wonderful day, we will be back.
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was a great performance for our young family. The facilities at the Aronoff were clean and well organized. However, paying $32 for a "lap seat" for our 9 month old was a crime. The "lap seat" was actually an adult balcony seat.
I just don't understand why a 9 month old who is not occupying a seat, is charged $32 to sit on my lap. Pure money grab and not very conducive to a fun family play atmosphere.
I went to see Brain Candy and it was amazing. A little long but very entertaining. Adam Savage has been a big star in my life from Myth Busters now to new shows of interest. Have never really seen Michle Stevens as a star but more as a person who was made into a meme for others entertainment. Well all and all I had a wonderful time and would definitely go again.
I absolutely love coming here to watch shows with my wife. The staff/ volunteers are always helpful and courteous. My only complaint is that the theatre is beginning to show it's age. It really needs to be updated.
I can't remember being unimpressed by any events I've attended here. I've seen music, comedians, theater, and ballet here and it has always had wonderful sound, helpful staff, and the venue is gorgeous and outfitted to suit. The experience is further enhanced by proximity to great parking, lodging, dining, and late-night entertainment options. Highly recommend seeing a show here!
Gorgeous building with a gorgeous look to it. The seats were VERY uncomfortable though. I am 6' tall and by the end of the show, my knees were killing me. I can't imagine the experience for anyone taller than me.
Overall a good theatre experience. Have seen many shows here and I have always enjoyed the performances. The one improvement could be more bathrooms.
I have seen several musicals and plays at this venue; however, last night I attended my first opera (Mozart's "Magic Flute"). The acoustics at the Aronoff are decent but not over the top. Seating locations are such that every seat has an excellent viewing angle with decent leg room, but not enough for a 6"4 man to fully stretch out. The staff is always friendly and willing to help. Insider Local Guide tip: If you enjoy a cocktail before the show you can prepay for a second drink to be poured and ready for you at intermission.Tip number 2 -Close Parking is readily available but I recommend finding parking that is not so close to avoid a long wait to get out of the garages. If you don't want to fight the after-show traffic, there are several food and drink options adjacent to the Aronoff. Tickets bought online can vary in price so shop around for the best deal. All in all a great venue for any performance!
Very nice theater. Every seat is a good one. Drinks and food are priced well.
The acoustics are great, every seat has a good view, and there are plenty of ushers to help out in finding your seats.
Great place to see a show! I've been coming downtown to see shows at the Aronoff since I was kid growing up in Cincinnati. Some of my favorite memories are there taking in Lord of the Rings and concert performances. I even had my high school graduation on stage there! A beautiful space with great seating all around (seriously, not a bad view even in the back). Stop in at Nada right next door before or after for great Mexican food and margaritas or head over to Fountain Square for ice skating in the winter or Graeter's ice cream in the summer (or in the winter 😁) and you're in for a great night out in Cincinnati.
We went to see Something Rotten, the Musical. TheArnoff Cemter for the Arts building is magnificent. Even though , we were in the balcony we had an excellent view and great acoustics. Employees/volunteers made it easy to find our seats. Several exits allow the theatre to empty without any bottlenecks. There are bathrooms are every level eliminating the long bathroom line. Finally, if you go during the week, prices are reasonable.
I'm glad Cincinnati has a world class performance theater in the middle of downtown, but i always leave just a bit underwhelmed. The acoustics are good, but most shows rely too much on the audio system so it airways feels a bit fake. The seating is comfortable, and the sightings are fine, but the room is far from intimate.
The lobby is grand and i appreciate the circulation paths up to the different levels, but that architectural color scheme is hideous.
