I went to PPAC for Wicked with a group of friends. Of course I loved the show; that was my 3rd time seeing it. But aside from the show, PPAC is a great venue. It's in a good location so it's easy to dine before/after a show. They have good concessions. The seats are comfortable. The staff is helpful. I feel it's an easy venue to get into and out of. There's tons of parking nearby that's not too expensive. I think it's worth it to see a show there if you can.

What an absolutely magnificent theatre. So wonderfully designed, there isn't an undesirable seat in the house. They pick great shows and the interior itself is it's own show. Everyone should see a show here at least once to experience the opulence and magic. For me it was Shen Yun.

★★★★★Sondra Evans

Such a gorgeous venue in sow town providence. Not a bad seat.in the house anywhere. Seats are comfortable, bathrooms are clean, and venue is clean. Parking is ample in the area, ie. Parking garages and lots with variety of price ranges.

Five stars! I went to the Providence Performing Arts Center to see Thorn and it was an unforgettable night. The theater is absolutely stunning — from the architecture to the lighting and sound. Staff was friendly and everything felt smooth and well-organized. Can’t wait to come back for another show!

★★★★★Gary Mathews

Amazing theater! Staff was polite, seating was great and the show was out of this world. Saw Riverdance in April 2025 and would recommend anyone that has a chance to see the show, not to pass up the opportunity. Parking and traffic is horrible. The garage across the street is over $50 for a couple of hours of show time. It was pouring out so we took this option but there is no sign of the cost until you park and go to the kiosk to pay. By that time your going to pay it but it was a shock.
