I recently attended TPAC to see the Rock of Ages musical. Great show!!! Anyways, our seats were at the top of the balcony, not the very last rows, but in the middle. We were trying to save some money so we didn't want to buy close seats. After the show we were really glad we had the seats we did... More

I like the location and the venue is modern and beautiful. Up to date, great layout and organization accomodate huge crowds with minimal waiting. Visited for the Lion King. Pleasant staff and valet services. Most seats are GREAT despite your location.

We saw The Lion King musical at during our visit to Nashville. The show itself was amazing and the facility was very comfortable and nice. Parking is not super convenient so be prepared to walk a distance or pay for valet parking. Look forward to enjoying more shows here.

Lived in downtown Nashville for a couple of years and attended several venues at TPAC during that time. Something is always going on and you just have to stay informed. Lots of productions for children and they love it. Parking can be an issue for those who have to drive in.

As a teacher, I have taken my students to TPAC on several occasions and have also attended events there. The productions are always well performed and the environment is excellent. Their family shows are really good for children.

We took our 4 year old granddaughter to see Peter Pan as part of her birthday celebration this year. She loved every moment. Cathy Rigby was a joy and certainly entertaining as always to watch her be Peter Pan. She was tremendous. My granddaughter, who is an avid Disney fan, never knew he was a she. It was a delightful...

TPAC does the "heavy lifting" for Nashville theater, serving as a good venue for touring shows, ballets and musicals, as well as a variety of concerts and other performances that often defy categorization. Parking is abysmal unless you use the $20 valet out front. I highly recommend them because otherwise you will hike several blocks (unless you are blessed with... More

A group of our friends came here again in December and saw "White Christmas." They have high standards and always have great shows, and are a treasure of Nashville. They are right downtown and have valet parking, for your service. I look forward to going to shows here.
