First time in Bob Carr and its nice, small looking from the outside but is larger than expected inside. Snack offerings are commendable with a vegan option. Great show tonight with Black Violin! I sat orchestra left, row B seat 7. Not a bad view at all. Ticket price was very reasonable.

This is a very interesting remodel of a very old theater, Ive seen some great shows here.

This theater is pretty nice but seemed rather small and old. Has more of a high school vibe to me. Although this does mean it is a bit more intimate so could be great for some shows. Bathrooms were clean and nice, parking was easy enough across the street at the Marriott (they also have a lot for the theater I believe), and access in and out is pretty quick. Definitely nice but not a grand theater if that is what you are expecting.

We were last here maybe a year ago to watch another musician and we loved their bar set up. It looks like DRP had changed their setup to match their main facility so less cocktail choices and sub par wine, but i love this facility. The crowds are bearable and if you come early you will have no problem accessing anything. Easy to get out of the parking lots and there are more choice than the ones we had last time. Do not be afraid to see a show here.

Apparently I was there yesterday according to Google. 5 stars because I love all theaters!

Ive been attending the Bob Carr for many years, usually to enjoy concerts by the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra. Its easy to get to, even with all the construction. Theres ample parking. The theater is old world charming, the seats are upholstered in burgundy velour and very comfortable. The main drawback is lack of a center aisle so you may have to gingerly step past many feet to get to a middle seat. Oh and the acoustics are wonderful. I cannot comment on the refreshments because I refuse to pay $5 or $6 dollars for a soda.

I would definitely come back to this place, appreciated the smaller setting than coliseum-sized venues. I wouldnt exactly call this an intimate (implied small) setting. And the acoustics were very good. It didnt hurt that I enjoyed a world class act my first time there.

Intimate setting that still holds a lot of people. I was like 25 rows back, but its angled nicely so you get a great shot at the stage, no matter where you sit. And the parking is fairly plentiful and not too pricy

My second year there and it was simply wonderful! From the decor, the orchestra, the singers, the music conductor, the participation of the audience, etc. Love it all. God willing will be looking forward to going again next year. Thank you for all the work in making it a wonderful and great experience.

This place is amazing! We watch the Black Violin perform that night and it was a great place to just relax and watch a performance. Cool place Ill rate it a 10 if I could!

This was the BEST movie theater experience Ive ever had! A friend invited me and Im glad that I accepted her offer. We watched a block of several short films which lasted about 15 minutes each. The clips were deep, raw, and thought provoking. It took me by surprise that a group of actors and someone from the crew actually sat in the audience and was available for dialogue after. I cant wait to come back for other events!

I was lucky that able to park my car at the parking area next to the entry

Had a great time with the family here. Its a decent size theater and any where you sit is a great view. The only issue is the rows are long so sitting in the center means 12 people have to stand up to let you pass.

Interesting lauout to theater, go up a bunch of steps to only go down again or go outside and come back in another set of doors. Probably the least accessible building I have ever seen. The staff try really hard to try to compensate. Saw the Home Free Vocal Band here. Sound bounces around and echos.

Good seats. Crowd control. On their website it claims that you can eat and drink in the theater but the catch there is that you cant bring your own food and drink you can only bring their food and drink into the theater

Nice, cozy and there is a great view of the play at any angle. We love this THEATER.

Very beautiful and clean great seating.

This theatre is perfect venue for aConcert...this particular concert was performed by the Florida Symphony Youth Orchestra and the acoustics of this theatre really complimented the beautiful music!

Really elegant evening. Location has a bar for some socializing before the show. No bad seat in the house. But make sure you dont have to get up if you get one of the ideal seats at the center.

Theater was clean but the seats could use some refurbishment. They were packed in and it was very warm. We sat in left ochastra, row w, seat 22/21 (which is right next to the sound and light to control table. Not necessarily bad since my boyfriend had space next to him instead of another person.)

Bob Carr Theatre is located downtown in Orlando. The parking lot has good space parking. Inside the Bob Carr Theatre is nice and clean. I enjoyed the seminar theres no drawbacks I like how everything is set. At this place they hold seminars, workshops and sometimes even plays. I dont go here often, This is usually a place where they hold seminars.

This place is very nice to watch a play but I think the stage is a bit small for all those seats to be able to see

Love this theater. New modern and clean. Need more seats that sit lower then high tops to allow for those handicapped/elderly a place to be seated in the lobby of each floor.

I have been to many performances here and have been in 4 of them. Guaranteed to get a good enough seat all around the house, but that cant be helped. The back stage area is easy to get around and (usually) well managed, 5 stars!

Havent been in about 15 years! The sound system was fantastic! Seating was great even though I was in the way back!

Attended a venue last evening. The show was great, thats where it ends. When we arrived we looked for our seats. No luck so we asked the usher . He was rude and told us the rows were labeled. No luck. There is no real ROW Y. All that money and they give us a folding chair. You got that, a stinking folding chair. Done with this place and I will be giving them a call.

Great venue. The sound was excellent. I would suggest seating towards the isle as the rows are long with no middle aisle.

There is not a bad seat in the house. The ushers are friendly, the seats are comfortable, and the acoustics are great.

This is an older venue in Orlando but is still used for concerts and shows. Theres really nothing wrong with it except its older. Seen many good shows there!

Went for Orlando Philharmonic tribute to Aretha Franklin on Saturday...great show and got to see my favorite Ushers from Dr Phillips... Shout out to Sherry and Barbara...Cya at David Foster..

Love the symphony! Celtic music with special guests who solo with flute and fiddle. Made me wanna dance!

Always enjoy performances in this facility. Loved hearing Handels Messiah. Thank you for giving back to Orlando!!

This is an excellent venue! The parking is convenient. The ushers are courteous and helpful. The sound is good.

Great theater had OLeary from Shark Tank

Went to see Lindsey sterling twice here. Loved it both times!

Visiting with middle school students to see The Giver! Staff got our herd of kids in and out safely! Great show and theater

The acoustics are very good in this theater

Beautiful atmosphere.

Wow. First time I have been back since Dr Phillips Center opened and it underlined the massive difference. Bar lines were non moving, seating was cramped and people crawling through the row. Glad there is a choice. Wont be returning.

Very special concert hall. Great performances. A must go in the Orlando area.

I love it here, its so nostalgic with history of past and present arts and entertainment.

Went to see the isleys and I have to say I grew up my parents and grandparents listening to them they are a very talented group with endless songs to jam to BUT Ronald needs to retire ...YES he is a legend and icon but ummmm he is too weak to perform anymore his music will forever transfer and live on for generations to come but he needs to hang it up as far as the theater it was nice clean security was respectful not too cold /hotVery nice ambiance !!!

John Prime was wonderful, Bob Carr not so much! Show was great but venue is dated, with crowded lobbies and aisles. Bathrooms miniscule with continuous long lines. Bars understaffed; 20 minutes to get served. Time for some changes...

Came here for a Jazz Festival with our middle school students. Facilities were well kept. Thanks to the Dr. Philips foundation for their support!

Being an older place, its not set up well for the alcohol drinking crowd in terms of bars and bathrooms. That said, the sound in this building is phenomenal and staff was great!

Wish they put the air conditioning down lower than 78. We were all super hot. People are very nice and helpful. Would have given 5 stars for them, but seriously it is FL and 78 with a busy night?

This theater has history and character. We have been here before and were assured that the roof has been repaired. However, when it rained, we had leaks over the stage area, which is not good during performance.Since the same management company runs the Dr. Phillips Arts Performance Center as well, they are charging a lot for rent. There was very little communication between the various area of the house. At times it felt like the right hand did not know what the left hand was doing.Their workers in the orange vests followed instructions without using common sense. Our organizing team members were denied access to the front of the house to set up prior to the actual event. Every time anybody leaves the building and came back through the main entrance, you had to through security (empting your pockets, bag checks and metall dedector wand) even when you step out to pick up your ticket from the box office. Their staff told us the that is standard procedure for all entrances of the building, which is not true, because the stage entrance did not have any security checks with the exception of your badge.On the night of the main performance they did not have enough staff in the box office and the Will Call lines were very long. Many pre-printed complementary tickets were not found and it created a huge delay and long wait times.Most of the hand soap dispensers in the dressing rooms were empty. We had to remind janitorial service to empty various trash cans in the less visited area of the building.As a patron of an event, one might not noticed all these deficiencies, but being part of the organizing team, it is more than annoying, when they make promises that they cannot deliver.

Really enjoyed myself it was my first time seeing him in concert. It was short for an $80 ticket but hey I didnt pay for it!

Aretha, A Tribute to the Queen of Soul: Orlando Philharmonic/Conductor Lucas Waldon , Bethune Cookman University Concert Chorale, with featured vocalist Capathia Jenkins & Ryan Shaw was superb.

Tommy Torres concert!

Thrilled to see Il Divo this evening! Had looked forward to the show for weeks. Unfortunately, our seats were located next to a morbidly obese individual who literally filled his seat and half of mine. I seriously could not lift my arm while seated next to this gentleman.I notified the usher of my circumstance and she very quickly and efficiently notified her supervisor Charna who could not be more kind. She secured different seats for my husband and myself.We are so grateful for her help and hope she can be recognized.The venue itself is wonderful and all staff were very helpful and courteous. The seats were very comfortable for the average size person. Perhaps special accommodations could be made for those who require more space.

We saw Greg Gutfeld, had a great time. Downtown Orlando is all torn up, but parking is nearby, and we got out and home without a problem. The theater is beautiful, but not comfortable for larger people. Feels like an economy flight. But we had fun!

My first time to. hear The Orlando PhilharmonicBranford Marsalis was guest. soloist and had a chat with the conductor prior to the performance. What a great evening! I definitely would attend more Philharmonic concerts.

Nice concert venue, comfortable seats and clean. Good acoustics. Pricey drinks.

The performance was great, but the Carr Theater is just okay, not good nor bad.

#HomeFree concert #HomeFreeGuys

A world-class venue. In the Orlando area culture lives here. Awesome acoustics. The only thing I would offer as a suggestion to enrich the experience of going there would be parking and their system for seating people. They make people stand outside in line needlessly for extended periods of time before they open the doors.

Easy parking, good lighting, and close dining at Marriott next door.

Absolutely incredible concert tribute to.Aretha! The Orlando Philharmonic never disappoints!

Good parking. Great show. Friendly personnel.

I sat up on the balcony to enjoy the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra while they played The Final Frontier, an homage to the many science fiction movies of our time. Unfortunately, from the balcony, the power of the music was underwhelming and at a low volume. The orchestra was accompanied by a choir, who I could also barely hear over the other instruments being playedIt was also really hot during the entire performance, and I wasnt wearing any heavy clothing. When I asked about the air conditioning to one of the employees, he told me that he knew it was hot, but today was a good day. It can get much worse in here. Were in Florida and the summer hasnt even begun yet. So I can only imagine how bad it can get.Im not sure if these problems are only apparent for those who sit on the balcony, maybe the ground floor is much better.As much as I loved watching the orchestra anyway, the several limitations with this venue have made me reconsider visiting it again. I really do hope they fix the AC.

Our 12 year old son used his birthday money to buy a ticket to a show and upgrade to the meet and greet. We were never told when this would take place. We asked after the show and were told it already happened earlier. Needless to say he was devastated. We received an email TODAY from your venue with info on the meet and greet that happened LAST night.

Nice clean place. But could use more parking

Great venue for live music or plays. Parking is becoming a challenge with the UCF buildings going up. The theater itself is the old theater with a new larger facade that creates a large lobby space. We saw the Christmas Pops show and it was wonderful. The one change may be to add more bathrooms. Easy in, easy out and lots of hand rails for folks who rely on that. No elevator so if your seats are balcony, you will walk up some stairs.

Great place for walkers & the old. Not able to suggest much for the younger generation s.

I attended a graduation ceremony there, and it was a less than thrilling experience. They graduation started at 11 but they didnt open the doors until 10:35, which didnt allow adequate time for everyone to get seated. It was rushed and not orderly at all. The ceremony was starting and people were still trying to get seated. Total chaos! Also the theater did not have the best acoustics and is in need of an interior updating.

Who ever played Jonas in the Giver on 11-19-19, you did an amazing job and you are cute!

Saw Lewis Black there, beautiful building and great staff

Great performance. Thanks to Forsyth Woods for giving students the opportunity to see this . Loved every minute of it.

This place is nice. I went for the Barbara Corcoran event and it was quite nice. The seats are plentiful and comfy. It was air conditioned, clean, and well-maintained. The audio was good. But overall it was a nice place.

I love Bob Carr! The seats can run small, but it’s pretty inside. They have the original front wall inside which is pretty cool. We saw Yo Yo Ma here and that will be one of the best concerts I ever saw. I took a rock from outside and keep it in my classroom. It’s my Yo Yo Rock.

As a season ticket holder for Broadway shows at Dr. Phillips, we had forgotten the intimacy of the Bob Carr. Everyone was friendly and it was well organized to get everyone to their seats. We will definitely be looking for more shows to see here!

Great show by Lewis Black at the Bob Carr Theater

Loved visiting and listening to the Once Upon a Time program. Will hopefully be back for Christmas!

John Prine, the venue and staff were all excellent.

The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra was amazing and the acoustics were great for the latest event.

It was nice. Suggest you dress up when attending the orchestra at night most people were dressed up.

Awesome performance as always..and its free every year.. If you have never gone you need to go next year..

There just isnt a bad seat in the house!!! Plus great acoustics!!!!!

Good food

One of the. best performances I have seen there. The seating was good, the overall temperature was comfortable. I would recommend Bob Carr Theatre to anyone.9

Great place to bring your show. A large venue with an intimate feelExcellent backstage crew including especially the master carpenter Chuck and wardrobe mistress Leda.

Went to see dwts and we had a wonderful time. Friendly and courteous staff. Bar prices were a bit pricey.

Here for the first time, attending the Lauren Daigle “Behold” Christmas Tour. Not a single Christmas decoration inside or outside of the venue. Not a tree, not a light, not a snowflake...I mean ZERO. I guess the Bob Carr people didn’t want to offend anyone with any kind of reference to Christmas. Oh wait, it’s a Christmas concert. Such a shame...this building should have, and would have, been stunning in her Christmas splendor. At least no one was offended :-/. However, the folks that run this place should be ashamed of missing an opportunity to get the grand old theater all dressed up for the holidays.

Older venue, but still good for smaller shows.

Amazing Jazz Concert!!

It may not have all the flash and glitz compared to the Dr Philips Performing Arts Center, but Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre is still a solid venue that hosts a number of events. I most recently watched a comedian perform here, and the sightlines on the lower level were good, acoustics were solid, and concessions were OK. Parking is a little easier than for DPPAC. Overall a nice place to catch a show.

Liked the convenience of paying parking with credit card. Fast and secure. Facilities are ok. Support personnel helpful. Overall good venue for concerts.

Its always a fun time at Bob Carr. Parking in the garage is straight forward and its a short walk to the theater entrance. The theater is always lovely, with comfortable seats and good acoustics. Perfect for the smaller more intimate performances.

Rupaul show was amazing and the staff was great as well.

A/C sucks. Needs an upgrade. Was sweating during the whole performance. Should have worn a bathing suit and not a pant suit. Seats are small and aisles have no space. Not enough bathrooms. Only 8 womens stalls for the whole theater. Bathrooms had no A/C only fans. Faucet sinks had hardly any water coming out to wash hands. Only 1 small bar area. Not much lobby space to chat with friends.I know this is an old theater and has a historical background but it really needs to be torn down and built new like Dr Philips Performing Arts Center.

Great acoustics. Saw the Orlando Philharmonic, Was amazing.

Its comfortable amazing clean and fast anyone that wants to watch a movie even if its last minute you have to come check this out its so unique and of course perfect sounds surround system and all youll love it no matter how or where you been before youll love this one

I have always enjoyed going to Bob Carr and will continue to go to concerts and other programs at Bob Carr. The only thing I can say about the concert that I attended on October 5th was that the drummer should happen place further back in the orchestra rather than front stage there were times the drummer overpowered the rest of the music.

Very nice venue. Not quite as nice as the Dr. Philips Performing Arts Center but its a great place to see the Orlando Philharmonic.

My mother and I went to see the final show of the Orlando Philharmonics at the Bob Carr Theater. The theater has ample parking, very comfortable seating with good A/C. The security is excellent, too

Went to a Jesse James decker concert here with my wife and it was a nice clean place

One of the oldest Theater/ Concert Venues in central FL . With a capacity of about 2,500. It has great acoustics and a good size stage.

Theater in downtown Orlando. Parking is $10. It was warm inside. A/C was not working properly. Attentive staff.

Very hot inside. AC doesnt work well for that many people in one place. Even the musicians took off their tuxedo jackets
