Nice, large stage with plenty of room to navigate and find seats. Nice interior as well. The Nutcracker was a wonderful performance.Easy to find bathrooms, and they were all very clean.Best place for parking is across the street in the paid garage.

Absolutely loved it! My family and I came here to see the "Nutcracker." The orchestra played beautifully and the performers for the play were superb! "APPLAUSE!!!"
Opened in 1932, Raleigh Memorial Auditorium is the crown jewel of North Carolina performing arts. Over the years, this richly historic venue has played host to a dazzling array of artists. Sinatra, Jerry Seinfeld, Norah Jones, Alice in Chains, Chris Tucker, and Shreya Ghoshal have played the venue. Broadway blockbusters like Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, Disney’s The Lion King, Jersey Boys, Miss Saigon, and Rent have also been staged here.
The venue has undergone several dramatic renovations ranging from 1975, 1990, 2001, and 2016, all enhancing the space to blend state-of-the-art technical amenities with traditional theatre traditions.
