McCarter Theatre Concerts 2026-2027

great venue. classy building with many renovations, right in the middle of university city. decent bar and super clean facilities! and the concert hall itself has great layout ans superb acoustics. we were very much impressed!

Staff are extremely kind. I ended up leaving my keys in the theatre after the show. I was outside talking to a friend for about an hour before I realized. Fortunately I caught a staff member who was able to assist. Rather than being upset they were very understanding and helpful. The theatre is very esthetically pleasing and extremely clean (including the facilities). I only have two knocks against the place. 1) the seats are a bit close together (especially for men [men tend to have wider shoulders]). 2. The parking. The parking lot is about a 3-5 minute walk from the theatre (I am glad however that it was free). Lastly the acoustics are phenomenal in this place. I could have used a smidge more low end but I love bass.

Saw Snarky Puppy there. Excellent show. Had a wonderful blood orange cocktail to boot. You can pre-order for intermission which is a great idea to avoid lines. Props to the bartender for making a wonderful drink.

The McCarter Theatre Center provides a delightful experience for theater-goers. The venue itself boasts a unique charm and an ambiance that enhances each performance. The staff here deserves special mention, earning a full five stars for their enthusiasm and professionalism, contributing significantly to the welcoming atmosphere. While the quality of shows can vary, which is typical for any live theatre setting, the overall experience tends to be enjoyable. However, it’s worth noting that the seating could use some updating; the chairs are a bit old and closely packed, which might detract from comfort during longer performances. Despite this minor setback, McCarter Theatre Center is a gem worth visiting for anyone looking for a captivating evening of arts and culture.

Would appreciate more contemporary musical acts. Also, more magic talent as well.. The venue is friendly and sounds wonderful. The snack stands accommodating with everything from wine to cookies.. Wonderful experience..
