We went there to enjoy an orchestra. It was very interesting and nice event. Knight theater is a really well organized, well stuffed place. Our experience was really good . This place is the heart of Charlotte, very near to park.

Kevin Smith at the Knights Theater! We had the seats in the right mezzanine, furthest row, very back corner, and the view was fine, especially for a film. Lovely acoustics. Definitely quite a setting to watch Jay & Silent Bob!

Wow! What an amazing venue. We sat in the upper balcony with center seats and they were perfect! Sound. Lighting. Ushers. Everything fit the bill nicely.

Came out for the New Years Eve street party. Had a great time. Mo Money sounded fabulous. Had the place rocking & singing. Perfect mix of oldies and newer songs. Fireworks were decent. I was really glad we werent hungry or thirsty because the lines were crazy ridiculous. 20-30 people in line for a cup of coffee? Same for the funnel cake and other food. More vendors needed! Will definitely go again next year (but not for food or a beverage!).

Nice intimate theater. Very modern. Watched a ballet here and sat on the Grand Tier level and the view was perfect. The audio sounded great too. The venue is small enough to make things feel intimate and close to the performance.

This was my first time in this theatre. I went to see the New Collossal the theatre was very clean & modern & the show was more about the art than a performance. The restrooms were clean & ushers very helpful. There was a cash bar however since this was a 90 min show without intermission it closed 5 min after the show began so you need to confirm show intermission & bar times if attending. Overall wonderful experience .

Nice new theatre. No major complaints. Only issue was I thought I purchased aisle seats. The seating map I chose from didnt show there was a wall directly on the outside of the left and right floor sections. So I had none of the convenience of an aisle seat...I may as well have been in the center of an aisle. Didnt terribly detract from the show, buy was a negative surprise to start the evening. So just a heads up.

Was a little irritated when I couldnt get an answer as to when concessions were going to end for the evening. I was told they would stay open as long as people were there and when I returned for a drink I was rudely denied, saying that they were closed. I would have understood if I hadnt asked twice previously for an ETA and noone seemed to have an exact answer. When your event is planned for 3-5 hours you might want to let people know that you stop serving at.. what was it, 9:45?!Apart from that being a memorable moment with the employees at the theater, I enjoyed the show, the sound quality. I had seats on the balcony and the view was great. The building standing alone is a decent venue for any event. I guess you just want to make sure theres a staff that wants to be there

Small, though very comfy theater. Was sitting on a balcony. Enjoyed every piece of it! Parking might be a hassle, if there event near by, but couple great places for pre or after show visit

My absolute favorite concert venue in Charlotte. The seats are comfortable and spacious. There is plenty of room between the rows of seats for patrons to traverse without difficulty. Moreover the acoustics are worthy of admiration and one has an excellent view of the stage from any vantage point. The performance of Hiroshima last night was one for the ages. If you are a modern jazz enthusiast. Make the Knight Theater a must visit on your concert adventure.

Review №28

We really enjoyed the play. The theater is very nice as are the ushers. My only complaint is that we were sitting near the top of the balcony and they had an employee who was narrating the play (possibly for the blind?) VERY loudly. It made it really hard to concentrate on the play. Otherwise, it was very good.

Ive been here several times for shows and musicals that Blumenthal has put on.Its not the main theater for Broadway shows, but theres usually a couple per season here.Its smaller than Belk theater, but I think its the third largest after Ovens and Belk. I really like the size of this theater. Its small enough that even if you get cheap seats, you still have a good view of the stage.The theater is nice and clean. The bathrooms are big enough to handle the crowd size usually.Parking is my least favorite part about the theater. Street parking is hard. The designated garage is at the Duke Energy building, but you could be waiting forever to get out of that garage after the show. We recently parked at the Green parking garage across the street instead and that was better.Overall, I think this is my favorite theater in Charlotte to see a show at.

Knight Theater is well laid out. The viewing is great, no matter where youre seated. It is next to the Bechtler Museum and can be reached easily by light rail. There is also parking nearby which, for the event I attended, was free with an exit ticket from the will call desk in the theater. The staff was wonderful, very friendly. Ill definitely return to this venue.

My favorite theater. There really isn’t a bad seat in the house. I also prefer the accoustics to Belk (personal preference). The staff has always been friendly and there are plenty of bathrooms for the short intermissions.

Acoustically, this theater is very good. We have attended many concerts and all have been very good. The seating has been designed to make sure no seat has disappointing viewing toward the stage nor have we discovered any area that has awkward sound traps.

We saw Falsettos tonight and had box seats for granddaughters birthday. Excellent way to celebrate! Just a word of caution when parking in the Levine Garage. Make sure you also know whether you are in the tower OR plaza elevator. We didnt and it took a while to get on our way.

Michael McDonald and his band were amazing!!! The sound was perfect and our seats were wonderful! Knight Theater is the perfect size to see a performance of any kind. Ive seen MM and the Doobie Brothers many times since the 1970s in large coliseums and amphitheatres but the show tonight at Knight Theater beat them all.
