This is a spectacular place to experience great shows, musicals, concerts etc. I was able to watch the Nutcracker ballet. The quality of service fits the extravagance of the venue. The volunteers and staff were helpful from the valet, ticket center, check-in, and the lovely lady at the security. I couldn’t get enough of how modern/contemporary the venue is. It’s truly breathtaking! We were seated in the balcony and were still able to have a great view of the show. Comfy seats, clean space and beautiful decor. I already mapped out more shows to view for 2025.

This place is next level as far as atmosphere and aesthetic. One of the staff members had the personality of my bath mat and set a weird tone for me, though.
Other than that, it's definitely the nicest live venue in town. Note to self: the chairs are comfortable but about as big as a Southwest Airlines seat.

This center was opened in 2014, honoring Dr. Philip Phillips (1874-1959), who was a medical doctor from Columbia University but spent much his life at growing oranges and modernized the citrus farming industry. His parents were from France.

Funny, when I first saw 'Dr. P. Phillips', I thought to myself: don't tell me his first name was Philip.

The complex is huge and modern. 'Macbeth' and 'Book of Mormon' are playing simultaneously. I love the white orchids. There are many seats and corners for people to have a drink and to relax.

Macbeth is wonderful. It doesn't any memorable tunes but the music (by Verdi) over all is beautiful and evenly tempered.

The problem:

- The late comers. The first act, people kept coming. One large group came after 50 minutes.
- During the second act, a person sitting at the front row, returned after eight minutes.
- As usual, it’s allowed to bring in snakes and drinks to operas and classical music concerts. Today a person next to me had popcorn. It’s first time that I realized how loud eating popcorn could be. Maybe sell something like chocolate - less noisy, instead? Oh, maybe the wrapper will make noise.
- Women’s bathroom is locked for no reason. The staff directed us to go to another floor, either above or below, while waiting for a security person to unlock it.
- The prepaid parking is $13 but the elevator isn’t working and we couldn’t find the stairs after the show.

12-14-2024. It was 75F in Orlando today and the HEAT is on. It is miserable inside the purple auditorium. How can I enjoy the music while sweating profusely?

Went to buy a drink and the mezzanine bars were closed. It's only 1 hour into the performance. Went to the first floor where drinks were still being served to be told **RUDELY** that she was over it and done. I just wanted a freaking bottled water.

Beautiful location, but everything blended together. The carpet, walls, elevators, signage, etc. Very hard to navigate. While the Christmas trees were pretty, even then blended in. Where is the color?
