The Temple Buell is one of the nicer venues in town to see a show. I have seen everything from the big Broadway productions that come to town to musical acts here. I have sat in the absolute last row in the balcony to the orchestra floor seats and I can say without reservation that there isn't a bad seat in the house. Yes, closer is always better However, I have never had an obstructed view or been unable to hear the production. So in my book that is good thing!

The theatre is stadium style, so you shouldn't have problems seeing the stage. The only drawback I can think of is that the rows are particularly long (especially on the orchestra level), so if you are in the middle of a row and need to get up or arrive later than the rest of your row, then you will have to step over everyone. Still, the seats are comfy and there is a good amount of leg room.

There are bathrooms on each level to accommodate patrons. As a woman I always wish there were a few more, but all in all they are clean and usually without too long of a line (if any). The lobby is bright and open to the upper levels, which you can get to by the large staircases at either end of the theatre or an elevator. There are bars on each level and usually vendors selling souvenirs as you come into the theatre. That can get backed up at times, but all in all the lobby is big enough to accommodate the large crowds.

Parking is a breeze. The DPCA lot that is attached to the complex is the easiest place to park, but it will set you back about $10. To me a small price to pay for the convenience. Plus, it is covered so that is nice on a rainy or snowy night. It is a garage though, so at the end of your night you will have to fight the crowd down the levels to get out. I never find it to takes too long and they often have people directing traffic when you leave to ease any traffic concerns.

Overall, the Buell is wonderful venue. I wouldn't hesitate seeing a show there again!
