When my children's school needs parent volunteers to go to a show here, I jump at the chance! It is a great theater, lovely inside and out. Everyone there was kind to the students and I have enjoyed each performance I have seen.

Finally caught a show at this theatre. The venue is wonderful. Every orchestra seat has a great view. It is small enough to enjoy a show without needing binoculars. There is a balcony but I can not comment on it. The lobby has a bar and even sells sandwiches! Since it is adjacent to the Ringling, you can make a... More

I like the theater itself but unfortunately this play was very boring. It was not even a play. They called it musical but the singing was not great either! Who casted these actors?!? Not one good voice more average, the stage did not look professional also. If I dress up for the theater I like the actors to dress up... More

Noah Racy's Pulse,the beat of song and dance is the current show at the Asolo. It's a perfect summer entertainment production. Saturday night audiences are usually tough, they sit there daring the actors to entertain them. Wow, did they ever. Mid performance standing ovation...participation and fantastic talent. Lots of wonderful tap dancing, high energy and talent. Only on thru June... More

We saw the Sarasota Ballet perform Theatre of Dreams at the Asolo. Our seats were in the mezanine and our view was perfect. The performance was accompanied by live music and we were able to hear every note. The seating capacity is just around 500. Perfect! A rather historic building and very beautiful inside.

My husband and I moved to Sarasota 18 months ago and we have been consistenly impressed with the performances held at the Asolo. You can see great plays, ballet, and wide array of other live performances that happen across the various stages at Asolo. It is so nice to have such a live performance venue within miles from our new... More

Great two person play which was excellently done. Staff made a mistake and sold our seats twice but folks next to us did not show up.

Great venue to see a play. It feel like you are back in time where all seats are close to the stage. Not a bad seat in the house. Comfortable and elegant.

My wife and I have been to The Asolo a number of times and have not seen a bad show. Good sight lines and a nice variety of shows. First rate actors.
