Went downtown for the first time since I've lived here and what a pleasant experience it was. The straz center has everything. The coffee place was amazing. Had the best coffee I've ever had, the show is great. The attendance were very helpful. Friendly. It was very good. Excellent seats. Cost was low. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon

The best venue for performing arts in the Tampa Area by far!

Been here too many times to count and will be back for more. We are so lucky to have such an amazing performing arts center in Tampa Bay. Every show I have seen here has been incredible.Other things I know people like to know in advance: Straz has wheelchair seating (must be purchased in advance), late arrival seating for most shows, beverages and snacks including alcohol, an on-site restaurant that takes reservations, bathrooms on every floor, and ASL interpreters for those that need them. Valet parking is available but limited, and there is a paid parking garage across the street. Enjoy your show! :)

Decided to go the parody musical Stranger Sings at the Jaeb Theater located at the Straz Center. It's one of the smaller, more intimate theater venues there. For this performance it just made it better. The show was hilarious and awesome. The cast was spot on and they all performed flawlessly, with 80s pop culture references, songs, and dance, they hit their mark. Definitely worth attending if you get the chance or are a fan of the series. The writing was so comical that it had the audience laughing in no time. The cast used the smaller theater to maximize the show by interacting with audience members and by going through rows or tables to keep you on your toes. Great performance til the end, loved it. There's also food and drinks available at the bar at the front. You can order inside the theater with a QR code scan, but our table didn't work. No problem since it's so close by and we weren't there to eat/drink. Everyone had a great time.

The volunteers were incredibly patient and helpful with our wheelchair and seat accommodation. Thank you so much to the floor supervisor. Only disappointment was waiting almost thirty minutes to catch an elevator back down to the lobby.

This is a nice venue for live performances. We saw "Stranger Sings" which was pretty good. I'm not much of a live performance person, but everyone around me really enjoyed the play.

Had an excellent time at Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince with The Florida Orchestra. It was worth every penny!
