The acoustics aren't that great, it's a task to get to your seat, and there isn't sufficient parking. But that doesn't deter lovers of the performing arts from visiting the Bob Carr Performing Arts Center. Undoubtedly, the central venue for culture in Orlando, it has a seating capacity of 2,500 people. Host to a wide array of events, it is best known for the annual Orlando Broadway Series. The series features Broadway hits, such as Cats, as well as other international acts, such as The Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables. Other events on its wide platter include ballet, orchestra, theatre and musical performances. Review © 2007, Wcities |
