Wonderful as always. Just going into the beautiful lobby is a treat. The acoustics are great also. Seeing the Glen Miller band is always a treat.

The performance from the Polish Orchestra was Out of this World. Only one issue. If I spend $800 for 7 tickets with no discount u would think during the shows the staff would turn off there walki Talkis and there cell phones. Other wise it would have been 10 stars. I will still give it 5 stars because of the performance. Please train your staff or I will lol

The Villages Symphony gave a very enjoyable concert on Jan. 9th. The hall is a nice size and was well ventilated (bring a heavy sweater). Sound was good. Am looking forward to the next concert.

This is a nice place to see a show but they need wider seats. They are so narrow and crammed in you pray the person next to you showered and didn't eat anything offensive that you can smell their breath. This is why I can not give it 5 stars.

]Beautiful as you enter the ballroom. People are properly dressed for the show. When the seating begins most everyone moves slowly and orderly to the large carpeted stairways. Users assist seating in a calm and helpful manner. Beautiful theater, wonderful very large venue.

The "Sharon" as it is known. This is 1000 plus seat theater. Acoustics are wonderful. The seats have good cushions, legroom and come with a cup holder - that you do not see elsewhere. But I am told, beware of obstructed view seats, you do not want them. They have seating on the ground floor, in the balcony (mezzanine) as well as theater boxes. As far as accessibility for the handicapped, the entire - very pleasant- staff seems ready to help with that.
The background ... originally this was a church. Then it was converted and added on to. As you enter the lobby you can see the cathedral ceilings

We have been to see a couple of shows here. The facility is excellent. It's super clean and well run. The lobby area is a former church so that adds a bit of character. For us non retired people the Villages are always a trip. The place is crazy with golf carts but there are some nice little shops to go into before heading to the show. Overall makes for a great evening out.
