Just saw a show and they had great arrangements to keep everyone safe during the pandemic

Great venue for some amazing shows! Have a wide variety of shows that come in from musicals to jazz to dance to comedians! The staff is friendly and helps out when needed! The bathrooms are nice and clean! I always enjoy relaxing and watching some great enetertainment here!!

We have attended many events at the Lied . Always, we are welcomed warmly and graciously by the volunteer staff, and thoroughly enjoy the repertoire and professionalism of the overall experience.

Love the new seat assignments that follow social distancing guidance as well as mask mandate inside the hall.

Very nice event center!! The ushers were fantastic about finding seats and giving information. My first time there but I would definitely go for another show someday.

Season opener was a wonderful way to be entertained after the long dry spell at home!

Saw RENT! It was awesome. This facility is one of the best I have been to a performance at!

There is not a bad seat in the place! Staff are all very helpful. We went to see the Blue Man Group. Great performance!

Lovely performing arts venue. Mainstage and small, black box theater. Reception areas, etc. Coat check, valet parking available. Pillows available to borrow to make your seat more comfortable if you like.

Went to see the Blue Man Group. It was a very nice experience. All of the folks who were there to assist us were very helpful. There was a little mix up in the tickets we were accommodated with what I thought were way better seats! All in all it was a fun event for all ages.

We saw Post Modern Jukebox. It was a wonderful show. The acoustic of the Lied Center needs work.The other thing that needs work is the mens restroom. The room is too small. Too few toilets and too many urinals. When my shoulder is touching the guy next to myself thats too tight. There was a long line to use the toilets because of how you are packed in to use the urinals.

I believe I can offer a unique perspective. Even though I have watched NUMEROUS shows at this facility, I have performed at this venue multiple times as well. The backstage dressing rooms are fantastic-- they are equipped with mirrors, sinks, restrooms, etc. Theres even a green room! Regarding the stage, it is not huge, but certainly a good size, especially from the audiences perspective.From the audiences perspective, most of the productions are wonderful. Great sound quality, acoustics, lighting, effects, and talent! The ushers are kind and courteous. There are pillows to borrow (free of charge) when viewing the performance. There is also an observation room at the back of the theatre. Concessions are sold, and usually some sort of keepsake boutique item is sold as well. There is a coat/bag check-in (optional) as well. Often times, there is a discount code for tickets that can grant you up to 50% off, without being a Season Pass holder-- and yes, you can purchase individual tickets. :)I highly recommend the Lied Center if you are a prospective ticket buyer! Trust me, you will not regret your decision.Going to see Phantom of The Opera with one of my childhood best friends this weekend, and could not be more excited! Hope to see you there.---------------------------------------------------------Note: This review is neither sponsored, nor endorsed by the Lied Center for Performing Arts of Lincoln, Nebraska.

Its cool they display Art in the building. I do like the lighting from the outside. The staff were helpful in finding our seats. The sign for food and beverage were confusing and there were different signs that displayed. I do feel they could take a few pieces of advice from the Orpheum (Omaha, NE) since they are both Theaters.

I cant describ the lied center witg words. It is the main art hub in Lincoln. Great shows. I watched the Phantom of the Opera about a week ago (as a student of UNL, I got a free ticket to the show as part of Arts for All program) well, it is a. Amazing place planning to go tonight to :)

Beautiful theatre and lobbies, and overall a very classy place. It is easy to find someone if you need assitance. I have been to many performances here over the past two years, and each one has been high quality.

Brilliant lighting, set and the stage is very spacey. I came here to watch the Phantom of the Opera with my cast and and crew for One Act. The actors put on a beautiful show. I loved everything about this experience and would watch it a thousand times over. Thank you for such an amazing performace.

Made my first trip to the Lied center to see Phantom yesterday, and neither the show nor the facility disappointed.As others mentioned, the central location is ideal for dining before or after the show, and offers ample parking at reasonable rates ($5 for event parking at a nearby garage).The seats we had afforded us an excellent view of the stage (and the chandelier... great set piece). The sound was incredible, and I cant say enough how nice it was to have so much leg room! It is definitely not like being crammed into the tight rows of the Orpheum theater in Omaha or other older theater houses. The seats were incredibly comfortable.I was surprised they allowed drinks and snacks (oh, the smell of those roasted cashews was delightful) back into the theater after intermission, but it was a happy surprise to be able to sip hot coffee during the final act.The show is deserving of its own 5-star review, but a lot of its success has to be derived from the site of the performance, and in this regard the Lied center shined as a brilliant co-star. I look forward to going back for more performances later this season!

Beautiful facility. Great sound. Staff was courteous and professional

Wonderful experience. Delightful place. Saw the musical Bandstand , wish it would of been a little louder, but thoroughly enjoyed it the way it was.

So i went to see the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra. They we’re doing the composer is dead by Lemony Snicket. It was amazing

Great atmosphere. Seat pillows for little ones and friendly ushers. The bonus was a clean bathroom with toilet seat covers!!!! Fresh flowers throughout the theater which was a nice touch.

Ive seen many shows here and it really is a wonderful theater. Although it seems that as I get older the seats here get narrower... Weird.

The show was wonderful. We enjoyed it very much! I do have one suggestion, please take down the railings. Our seats had the railing on top of the wall blocking our view.Thank you.

Theres not a bad seat in the whole place, great shows are the norm!

A great setting for mega productions with good acoustics.

Decent access to close parking thats reasonably priced. Nice venue for a concert. Small restrooms for the number of people attending causing lines.

First off, staff was amazing. The show (White Christmas) was amazing. Reason for the 4/5= the seats are really uncomfortable and tightly compacted. Thats it.

We had a fantastic time watching our son at the All-State Choir. It is a lovely venue! Plenty of help to find seats and have your questions answered.

This is a really nice theater. Seats are comfortable and visibility is good. Restroom facilities are large enough to accommodate the crowds with limited wait times. At a recent musical performance the sound was a little muddy at times, but was good in general. Plenty of parking in the nearby area to accommodate even full house events. Lots of employees or volunteers are available to help you find your seat quickly and easily.

We saw the Phantom of the Opera on October 31, 2019!Outstanding!

Really nice comfortable seating and all great seats!

I have seen a number of shows at the Lied Center, and I have always enjoyed myself whether its comedy or off Broadway plays, I feel that the actors and the quality of the performances are elevated by the proper acoustics so that I can here every word

Went to see Phantom of The Opera on opening night. The place was so clean and pretty! The staff was all super nice! And of course the show was amazing!

My daughter was in a playEveryone was amazing and courteous

I have been attending performances at the Lied Center for as long as I can remember and have always had a 100% positive experience.Recently I have been shown even more reason to appreciate it.Besides the gorgeous acoustics, elegant style, and ease of access. The people have shown me such kindness.I attended the Lincoln Symphony Orchestras performance of Antonin Dvoraks New World Symphony. At the time I was the 2016-2017 Miss Czech-Slovak US Queen, and attended in my kroj (Czech/Slovak dress)Maestro Polochick was doing a pre-concert talk in the commons area, and when he saw me he pulled me up in front of everyone and had me speak on behalf of the cultural preservation of the Czech and Slovak cultures, particularly through music.After this many staff members came up to me and expressed their deep appreciation, and I simply wanted to turn it around and express my thanks to them.

Always a beautiful venue for a musical, comedy act, or just a play! The lights and sounds and the entire theatre was just amazing!

Enjoyed An American in Paris. Lucky to have a Broadway experience right here in Lincoln

I went and watched Phantom of The Opera and it was beyond AMAZING!!!! The effects, sounds, lighting, and cast were all top notch. I look forward to seeing more shows here.

The performers they bring in are always top-notch a great place to see a show.

There is not a bad seat in the house. Very comfortable and easy entertainment experience.

The usher staff is always amazing - the performance of the blue man group. Only thing - not enough seating while waiting- I have poor health and standing long periods of time isnt good.

Very nice facility, we have seen several shows here and have never been let down.

Show the Blue Man Group! It was a great show in their signature mixed multimedia style.

Went the the Blue Man Group, it was great! I love this venue.

Blue Man Group was horrible! Worst performance ever!! Zero talent! Humor was lame!

Always organized and many people there to assist.

We had a great time. The concert was wonderful.

If you are into plays or musicals you cannot beat the lead center for performing arts

Good location, tons of parking nearby. Lots of events to go see all year, and recently priced. Seats are comfy and you have great views from all over the venue. Bathrooms are plentiful, clean, and located both top and bottom floors. The seats are comfy, and somewhat roomy for a theater. Tons of food options close by to make a good evening of the visit! Might need a jacket inside as the AC seemed to be on and it was January, could have been a fluke.

There is always something good going on here. We went Saturday to see our son perform at his concert for UNL Show Choir camp. A week of music, friends, and independence from mom and dad. He had a blast. Will recommend seeing any show here, and the camp they put on is awesome!

It is beautiful and has class. The orchestra and other performers were incredible

Sat in balcony and could still see everything. Seats were very comfy and the show was great.

This review is based on watching the touring production of Rent 2019. The Lied Centers auditorium is large and spacious. Im not sure if there is a bad seat in the house, mine was very nice. Plenty of leg room and could see everything without obstruction.The issues I encountered were the lack of theatre discipline by the center. People were on their phones, talking, using their flashlights and flashes. At no point did any usher make any comments or chastise the attendees for ruining the experience for everyone else. In fact they helped by using their own flashlights to blind the audience members. In addition, the tickets stated that latecomers would not be able to enter at any time and would have to wait for appropriate pauses. However, the distractions caused by people shuffling in at all manner of time was incredibly annoying. So if youd like to see a touring Broadway production, Id recommend you go somewhere else.

Absolutely lovely theatre with great seating, friendly ushers, and great acoustics! Had a wonderful time seeing Phantom of the Opera for the first time since 2002!

We enjoyed the concert very well.So proud of. Our Granddaughter and other wonderful singers.

This is a great venue. The sound quality is good regardless of the city youre in. Some of the seats could be better aligned for the stage but overall itll be an enjoyable experience for every sit. the staff there are courteous and the ushers do a really good job of getting it to your seats in a professional manner.

The Waitress Show was amazing. Loved it.

A great performing arts center for Lincoln! The quality of the shows they have been bringing in over the past few years has really gone up, especially the Broadway productions. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful venue in our hometown!

Had a great time, just lots of stairs, thank goodness for an elevator.

Saw the Phantom of the Opera and it was absolutely amazing words cannot describe how amazing it was just marvelous

What a great venue. The acoustics ar excellent.

I always come to the Buell for performances and I cried watching Phantom. Yall have fulfilled my childhood dream of seeing it live. Thank you to the cast and the Buell for the wonderful experience!

The best place for theater. A landmark in downtown Lincoln. Thanks...

Great facility for big functions

Fantastic venue to see the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra!

Seen phantom of the opera was treated amazing from valet parking to everyone inside beautiful venue

A lovely place with lovely people behind it! Truly an experience to be had whenever possible!

Amazing place. Cant wait to go back!

Fabulous, very well done. Absolutely worth it!

Seating comfortable staff friendly show was awesome

Wonderful theater with Broadway tours, Dance and music seasons

Excellent help, Great view from every where Ive sat.

Fantastic! I was here seeing Natalie McMaster and it was a good show and good atmosphere. Staff are very helpful. Theu have a concessions and alcohol areas, plus you are offered a pillow for your chair, on your way into the amphitheater, to either sit on or lean back against. Prices for snacks and drinks arent too bad.

Comfortable seats easy in and out.

Working there... Its a great place for all eyes.

Great performances and sounds. Lincoln really scores!

Phenomenal singing and Acting. Excellent show!

Lincolns Showplace for the arts!! A wonderful venue to experience a variety of concerts, plays, comedy shows, lectures and dance programs. Come see what you know and like, and also get tickets to experiment and try a new kind of event. Excellent offerings for kids and families, too are presented frequently. Look out for periodic flash dales where tickets are deeply discounted. Beautiful auditorium, tasty concessions, superb sound system - the Lied is the place to enjoy a great evening out!!

One of the best places around to see a great performance!

Always love seeing shows here. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. The seat numbers can be confusing at times (i.e. there is a left orchestra seat 5, center orchestra seat 5, and right orchestra seat 5) so you need to pay attention to your specific section! Definitely not a deal breaker though, just something to be mindful of!

Went to see Manheim Steamroller concert...The show was excellent, friendly helpful staff, clean only drawback is need better more comfortable seats.

Blue man group was fun and entertaining.

Awesome venue with stellar acoustics. Not a bad seat in the house.

Amazing shows come to this stage and the student discount is awesome

Great place to see Phantom of the Opera it was amazing.

Love modern dance. The Complexions performance of David Bowie songs after the intermission was particularly well done.

Great facility to watch anything they may present.

The play I went to go see was pretty awesome, but I felt that they (as in the lied center) didnt shock the theatre appropriately. Shock in this context means to overly cool the stadium down with AC before it is filled with people. In most places I have been where they are expecting hundreds if not thousands of people this is the common practice so as to keep every one comfortable. Body heat with that many people is no joke.The production was amazing! No joke I and the people I went there with were very sweaty and uncomfortable because of the heat.

Excellent facilities. Went to the production of Hair today. Great talent! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wonderful venue for so many types of performing arts. Its the BEST Lincoln has to offer. Check it out!

Blue Man Group very entertaining.

Be prepared for harassment and verbal abuse from fellow viewers. Be prepared for you and your family to be removed from your seats and be placed at the back of the theater, if you do not meet the high-brow ideals. Not a place for Midwesterners who work hard for their money, save for tickets, and make going a real cherished memory.

Always something new to watch keep an eye out on next show.

Beautiful facility.

Beautiful space! Excited to go back!

A great venue with a lot of fun concerts! Ordering tickets online is easy and staff are all very nice. UNL students get a discount on most shows!

Phantom of the opera very worth it. The show was great.

Great venue

Wonderful architecture. Great staircase

WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE THIS PLACE IN LINCOLN!!!!! amazing sound. GREAT staff. Gets amazing talent.
