Bob Carr Theater - Orlando, Florida

CMB Caspanello

We were last here maybe a year ago to watch another musician and we loved their bar set up. It looks like DRP had changed their setup to match their main facility so less cocktail choices and sub par wine, but i love this facility. The crowds are bearable and if you come early you will have no problem accessing anything. Easy to get out of the parking lots and there are more choice than the ones we had last time. Do not be afraid to see a show here.

Theater was clean but the seats could use some refurbishment. They were packed in and it was very warm. We sat in left ochastra, row w, seat 22/21 (which is right next to the sound and light to control table. Not necessarily bad since my boyfriend had space next to him instead of another person.)

First time in Bob Carr and it's nice, small looking from the outside but is larger than expected inside. Snack offerings are commendable with a vegan option. Great show tonight with Black Violin! I sat orchestra left, row B seat 7. Not a bad view at all. Ticket price was very reasonable.

This theater has history and character. We have been here before and were assured that the roof has been repaired. However, when it rained, we had leaks over the stage area, which is not good during performance.

Since the same management company runs the Dr. Phillips Arts Performance Center as well, they are charging a lot for rent. There was very little communication between the various area of the house. At times it felt like the right hand did not know what the left hand was doing.
Their workers in the orange vests followed instructions without using common sense. Our organizing team members were denied access to the front of the house to set up prior to the actual event. Every time anybody leaves the building and came back through the main entrance, you had to through security (empting your pockets, bag checks and metall dedector wand) even when you step out to pick up your ticket from the box office. Their staff told us the that is standard procedure for all entrances of the building, which is not true, because the stage entrance did not have any security checks with the exception of your badge.
On the night of the main performance they did not have enough staff in the box office and the Will Call lines were very long. Many pre-printed complementary tickets were not found and it created a huge delay and long wait times.

Most of the hand soap dispensers in the dressing rooms were empty. We had to remind janitorial service to empty various trash cans in the less visited area of the building.

As a patron of an event, one might not noticed all these deficiencies, but being part of the organizing team, it is more than annoying, when they make promises that they cannot deliver.

Really elegant evening. Location has a bar for some socializing before the show. No bad seat in the house. But make sure you don't have to get up if you get one of the ideal seats at the center.

I sat up on the balcony to enjoy the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra while they played "The Final Frontier", an homage to the many science fiction movies of our time. Unfortunately, from the balcony, the power of the music was underwhelming and at a low volume. The orchestra was accompanied by a choir, who I could also barely hear over the other instruments being played
It was also really hot during the entire performance, and I wasn't wearing any heavy clothing. When I asked about the air conditioning to one of the employees, he told me that "he knew it was hot, but today was a good day. It can get much worse in here." We're in Florida and the summer hasn't even begun yet. So I can only imagine how bad it can get.
I'm not sure if these problems are only apparent for those who sit on the balcony, maybe the ground floor is much better.
As much as I loved watching the orchestra anyway, the several limitations with this venue have made me reconsider visiting it again. I really do hope they fix the AC.

Interesting lauout to theater, go up a bunch of steps to only go down again or go outside and come back in another set of doors. Probably the least accessible building I have ever seen. The staff try really hard to try to compensate. Saw the Home Free Vocal Band here. Sound bounces around and echos.

Bob Carr Theatre is located downtown in Orlando. The parking lot has good space parking. Inside the Bob Carr Theatre is nice and clean. I enjoyed the seminar there's no drawbacks I like how everything is set. At this place they hold seminars, workshops and sometimes even plays. I don't go here often, This is usually a place where they hold seminars.
