| - Located in the heart of uptown Charlotte, the Blumenthal Center is an amazing venue that host the best entertainment Charlotte has to offer. After stalking tickets for Motown the Musical, I finally discovered that you can get a ticket with a student ID starting 2 hours before the show for $25. There was no line to purchase tickets, as the show was nearly sold out. The ticket guys were friendly and I was fortunate to get what I felt was the best seat in the house, Grand Tier center (F 311 to be exact).
When I returned later for the show, the ushers, who are primarily comprised of senior citizens.... not sure how that happens.... were very kind and helpful. The visuals and acoustics of the show were amazing. The great thing about the Blumenthal is that there is NO bad seat in the house. No matter where you are sitting, you will be able to see and hear. It is very well designed.
I think you can often judge a venue by its restrooms. During intermission, the line was SO Long. However, there were ushers in the restroom, which had 48 stalls. Having people direct patrons to stalls was immensely helpful and the line moved very swiftly. While there is an individual unisex restroom upstairs, the better option is to get in the longer line downstairs. Overall, a great place and I highly recommend you see any show there, as all I've attended have been nothing shy of fantastic.
