Clowes Memorial Hall

This is a lovely venue. It was our first time attending a performance here and we saw Sleeping Beauty performed by the Indianapolis Ballet accompanied by Indianapolis Symphony Ochestra. Our seats were middle right row BB. The acoustics were perfection. Alcohol, soft drinks, and snacks like popcorn and candy were available at 2 different concession areas. A single pour of wine was 9.99 and it came in a plastic, lidded cup with logo. Seating... all I can say is dont be late. There are no central aisles and the rows are very long. Entering in the dark or during the performance is challenging and embarrassing. Parking, there's a pay to park located adjacent but again, don't be late as traffic backs up and you will have to wait to park. There seems to be street parking several blocks away. We parked at the sports arena for free and walked it was a Saturday afternoon and had no issues. No sporting events were going on so that would affect the option of parking there. And lastly, the seats are narrow for those blessed with generous curves.

Nice venue, really excited because we grew up on these R&B /Funk bands. The concession areas had very long, slow moving lines and only had mixed drinks and popcorn and a few boxes of candy like you get at a movie theater or the 99 cent bin at Walmart! Restrooms were accessible and close to the seating. Near Butler University and parking was right next door. Really enjoyed myself and attendees were very friendly. We had to just stand in the lobby since the doors didn't open until 30 minutes before the show started at 7:30. Dougie Fresh was the MC/host and ge didn't disappoint. Dougie Fresh is good at engaging with the crowd. Midnight Star sounded fabulous their lead sinfers were great, and Lakeside was phenomenal, I loved the pirate fashions and their lead singer was a very good vocalist. Confunkshun sounded amazing and had a guitar player that looked like he could have been El DeBarge's little brother! Lol. He was full of energy and smiled the whole time! Their saxophone, trumpet and Trombone player were top notch and sounded phenomenal. I love drummers, and the drummers of each band were awesome! One Way was late coming to the stage but did really well. I wish they could have done more of their old hits. Al Hudson danced like he was 21 yrs old but told the crowd he was 75! Unbelievable!

Loved the show we saw. Which was Bkue October. We sat in the balcony row A but we're surprised that it was a second balcony we didn't realize we were going to be behind another balcony which did hinder the view a little but we did enjoy the show. We try to not miss Blue October whenever they are close enough for us to go to their concerts I will look for other events at this venue to see what we might find!

My second concert in this place and I love it. Plenty of parking, easy access to the Hall, crew members excellent service. The Hall has a nice view even if you are not iin the front area. The bar has a different type of drinks thisbis a good place for anybtypr of events.

Nice smaller venue. Long lines to get in but the staff kept it moving and it only took 10 minutes. Same with lines for the beverages. Butler University should be extremely proud of this venue and it's staff.

Recently saw Shen Yun here. My first time visiting this venue. Although I enjoyed the show, I was very disappointed with the theater. Anyone who says this is a great theater has either never been to one or is a Butler loyalist. I read in advance about the parking fiasco and got there early and found street parking. We had third row seats on the main floor. Seats are very tight and there is no center aisle. So if you are in the center be prepared to crawl over 20 people to get out. Bathrooms inadequate for the number of people there. At intermission the line to get into the women's bathroom stretched all the way to entrance. Paid $12 for a bottle of water and small box of candy. Maybe I've been spoiled by the beauty and elegance of most older theaters I usually attend but my biggest disappointment here was the whole industrial look of the place. If you like concrete, this is the place for you. It was a turn off for me.

I went to see Les Misérables. I was on the third floor, but the view wasn’t obstructed and I could hear everything clearly. It was a wonderful experience
