Had an awesome time at The Bumping Mics event for Dave Attell and Jeff Ross; wish I could have gotten the chance to hang with them. I love comedy in general. Wish I could attend Brian Regans event. Manhattan Comedy Nite is entertaining. Years before when it was The Community Theatre I remember seeing Kevin James during his Comedy Central stand-up tour and the late George Carlin. Great comedy events over the years.

It is always a pleasure to be at the Mayo Preforming Arts Center. It is a small venue with great sound quality and never a bad seat in the house.

This is a beautiful venue with comfortable seats and comfortable temperature. The choices at the bar could be better but there is something for everyone. The people were friendly and helpful and showed me to my seat. I plan to return and recommend going here.

This is a great local theater; they bring in some great artists. Getting to the theater is painless and free or cheap parking nearby is plentiful. Lots of great restaurants nearby if you want to make an evening of it.

I came with my family to see an Air Supply concert last week and I had a great time. The staff members and ushers were all very kind and helpful. The parking situation was quick, easy, and not far from the theater at all.

I was nervous about going to Mayo Performing Arts Center during the pandemic, but their safety protocols were outstanding. The had two empty rows in front of you and behind you. They only sat people on the far ends of the sections they did seat people. We ordered concessions from our seat and it was delivered. Temperature checks at the door.It was outstanding. I felt much safer there than I do the supermarket.And thats all just a bonus to the usual friendliness from everyone there. Its always so clean and its just a great theatre.

Saw Eric D’Alessandro here - the show was great. Venue was a great place to see an up and coming comedian like him and I’m sure it’s great for everything else too!Drinks were reasonably priced and came in great cups, lol.

Beautiful night out to see Chopra live with my dad the theater was comfortable and the night was one to remember we got to meet him and everything! They organized a nice book signing upstairs it was a very cool experience. Also the ticket people were very accommodating we forgot ours and they helped look us up even instead.

My husband and I went to see Tyler Henry! We saw him in December at Ceasers in Atlantic City. He is truly wonderful. This event he did live readings.The MPAC center is beautiful. They had parking for $5 or you had to find your own place. There was a shuttle to from the lot to the center...for free (we tipped the driver at the end of the evening). Inside, the staff greeted everyone and were nice. They answered questions if anyone had one. The bar on the main floor had alcohol, soda, chips and other light snacks. As we walked into the theater itself we were given a MPAC booklet. They assisted us find our seats.We purchased a VIP pass to meet Tyler so after the show we were lead to another room. There was around 30 people. It went quickly. We all had a chance to meet him. He hugged both my husband and I. He even answered a question for me.Tyler is truly an amazing man and everyone no matter what you believe should experience him at least once. He has a gift and uses it to help heal those that need it.

Review №23

The chances of getting exposed to CoVid here are -1 IMO based on how seriously the staff takes their safety protocol. They are excellent. The warning at the door, by the ushers, the spacing, the bathrooms. If you are lax about masks this is not for you. Having said that, I had a reasonably priced drink, delivered in super high quality sippy cups which I will reuse a lot...This was my first live indoor music experience during the pandemic.It was NETFLIX 🥅🎞️🛋️ perfect AND better than live music pre-pandemic.#2021BuildBackBetter#WearYourFKNMask

I cant wait to go back.The quality of the performances is phenomenal!The acoustics and sound system make it a stage worthy of the performances.Seating is comfortable. Special handicap seating can be arranged which really helps me out as Im disabled.There are many really good restaurants in the area. My favorite is Cottage II because it is close & they have the best Chinese food I have ever had including NYC venues.

We saw Vince Gill on Saturday. This is a delightful theatre. It has the charm of the early 1900s with acoustics that sound perfect. The location is easy to get to with plenty of dinner arrangements nearby. Vince Gill and his band played for over 2 hours. The audience loved it ! We loved it. Hopefully the Mayo PAC has him back soon ! What a night !!!

Its a very nice local theater. Clean and cozy. Nothing spectacular like Broadway but they have great shows and they often get major celebrities to come. I have been here a few times with my family and we have enjoyed the performances each time. They have a bar and do serve alcoholic beverages, although inflated drink prices like in the movie theater. 2 drinks will run about $20-$24. No food or snacks here. But anyway, people come here for the show and not the drinks. So go to this place and have fun. I will again.

This place is always great! I saw a comedian with some mom friends a couple weeks ago and just saw a bubble show with my son today. The staff are friendly and the lines are not usually very long. You will just need to plan ahead for parking as they dont have a designated parking lot for everyone. Id say your best bet is just a park in public lots and garages. Have fun!

Pete the Cat was great for kids. We went during a sensory friendly showtime, which was very helpful when my oldest melted down. They offered coloring pages, balls, comfy chairs and more. They should offer that at all showtimes for kids!

The show that we saw here was absolutely stunning! Amazing work! The projector should be relocated and mounted from the ceiling though, because where it was caused there to be shadows from the people sitting in front of it.

The person I was with has poor sight in low lightening and uses a cane for balance. The staff made sure we were safely in and then out of our seats.The officer kept an eye on her as well as watching everything else going on around them while I went to get the car.Two thumbs up from each of us.

Saw the Manhattan comedy night show, and thought it great. Nice theater to see a show, wide seats have plenty of legroom. Excellent drink choices at concessions.Plenty of good restaurants to grab a bite before show. Make sure you get there early as it can be difficult to find a parking spot.

Beautiful theatre - real gem in the community. Good seats and viewing from all parts of the house. Attentive (and not snooty) ushers and good acoustics. In the start of the heart of Morristowns downtown area, so parking remains a challenge. They are working with partners who have small lots nearby. A challenge for a lot of live theatres in NJ.

I have been to Mayo several times over the past few years and every single visit is a wonderful experience. The shows have all been enjoyable and the facility is well-maintained... however, most importantly, the staff and volunteers are consistently personable, helpful, and thoughtful. This is a great community theater!

There was security before you even got to the door, but they were thorough and PLEASANT!!! Not at all disruptive, and I appreciated that they were there. Performance was world class, right here in Morristown, and absolutely excellent. Told my husband on way to car, we should do this more often. A lovely performance, and maybe dinner somewhere in one of Morristowns new restaurants! Like civilized people!

Enjoyed the Elton john tribute concert by a very talented group. The theater is so accessible, and avoids the major hassle of a trip to nyc. Good acoustics, and all seats have good view of stage. Only downside: seats fit short bodies; if youre 6 feet tall, you will suffer.

Great local theater hosting traveling shows or musical groups. Tickets are reasonably priced and it takes the stress out of going into the city for a live show.Theater itself is nice but showing signs of age.Overall Id recommend it if youre in the area or if you want to bring younger kids to experience a live show.

Always a treat to go to MPAC. Its so close to home and has such great shows. Cant believe that in this part of NJ they can attract big performances and artists. There is pretty much no such thing as a bad seat in the house. Orchestra or balcony allows you to see and hear the entire performance. Definitely would recommend for an intimate show on a large scale stage.

Review №79

Beautiful theater, orchestra and dancers. Disagree that there is not a bad seat in the house. Very disappointed that the main scene of the Prince kissing Sleeping Beauty was done on the extreme right hand side of the stage( almost in the wing) which was not visible from my partially obstructed view seat, 4 in, on the right side of the theater. Considering that this was the point of the whole story, it should have been done center stage for all to see!! Didn’t expect to miss the highlight because of the poor staging for the main scene!

Great seating regardless of where you seat. The space is just the right size, acustics are great too. One downside though, my family and I were there over the weekend to see Peppa pig live and I had to go use the bathroom to change my daughters diaper, but none of the mens bathrooms had a changing table.

Great venue. First time visiting for Alice Cooper concert. Large and comfortable seats, clean bathrooms, easy entry and exit. Parking was off site but they offer a free shuttle (which we did not use). We were able to purchase a parking spot in advance through the Mayo website. Entry was fast and bags checked quickly. Pleasant ushers and staff. I would certainly return for another concert.

Wednesday 19th. We took the kids to a Free Movie at the Art Center. This place is beautiful. It is a grand old theater that has been totally renovated. We sat up in the balcony, of course. We did not know about this place. We picked up the up coming schedule of event, there are lots of presentations that we are looking forward too. Well be back.
