First time here and security was easy and fast to get through. No long lines besides merch. Seating great no bad view from any spot 😏 will definitely come back

Came here for a broadway performance. The show is good. The venue is a bit outdated but clean as I can see. The logistic is efficient getting audience in the venue. The design of flow is good, you don’t see crowd being stuck, people keep walking without disturbances. Staff there are helpful.

Parking at $10 flat rate right across the street, big parking lot, got spot easily. You can park there till 3am. You park, go to the machine and get the slip and place on your dash! Machine accept credit card and cash.

Lovely place. Tina Turner's musical was at times heartbreaking, with beautiful performances, especially at the end. I loved it❤️I would give the site four stars, but I had difficulty with the stairs because I am recovering from a fall, and so did a lady with crutches.

Very nice place. I had great seats in the Orchestra section, row 10 center seats. Perfect! Except the rows in Orchestra go from wall to wall. It's an extremely long row of seats. We got to our row right at the 2-minute warning and, unfortunately, had to try and avoid stepping on numerous toes to get to our middle seats. Nice acoustics. Great effects, music, and choreography. The show (Tina Turner, the Musical) was fantastic!

We saw Mughaleazam in here The theatre is good. The staff is excellent. The show had an intermission. The staff made sure there was no crowd in the restrooms and guided us to our seats etc. Very friendly staff.

I was here with my friends on mother's day. It was the last show and I really enjoyed the riverdance Broadway show. The theater is really huge, well seated, a great auditorium where every seat is a great seat. The staff is very courteous and helpful. I really enjoyed this and previous shows. It's fun to come to this place.

Their cookie was huge, warm & delicious! I wish they have more food options.

The corner seats 75 & 77 were hard to see the stage a bit. Hope to see Dancing with the Stars here again soon!

Great venue, I really wasn’t sure about getting balcony tickets. But I bought tickets for Dancing with the Stars at the last minute the day of the show and was pleasantly surprised the view on the balcony is incredible. It is stocked seating, so you really don’t worry too much about who’s sitting in front of you. Every spot seemed to be a good view in my opinion from what I could tell. I would definitely buy tickets for the show here again. We were in row eight for reference towards the middle as you can tell.

This is an amazing historical place. Easy access to all the seats. Seats were great and don't hurt your back. Nice space so your not elbowing people. The staff are very friendly and willing to help you get to your seat or explain anything you need. Drinks and snacks are good here and the security here was on point. Saw Nikki glaser here. She amazing and her opening acts killed it. Check this place out

What a great location! Near to the highway.

The auditorium was amazing from inside with great management and cleanliness maintained. We visited for a live concert of Ustaad Zakir Hussain and Suresh Wadkar. The hall was jampacked and sound quality was superb. I would love to revisit for other events.

So proud that Bay area has such a center which hosts talent from various countries and cultures. It was heart warming to see how approachable the place is. Feels rich in the area.

Only issue was parking. Had to pay separately and park in a nearby Public Parking, even after paying so much for the concert ticket. I felt like something should have been arranged for visitors.
