Review for American Psycho! TL;DR definitely go see it!
Parking was very easy in the Hobby Garage for $20. Thankfully, a nice gentleman working outside pointed us towards the correct entrance. We arrived about 30 minutes early and got our tickets from Will Call with no issues, taking some photos of the 80's memorabilia outside. It was easy to find our way to the upstairs seats in the Left Mezzanine. I don't think there are really any bad seats in the theater; I could clearly hear and see everything.
The show itself was longer than expected (ended around 10:30PM) but it was so much fun. I went in blind, having not seen American Psycho, and it was definitely inspiration to go watch the movie. The actors and musicians were top notch, the scene transitions were smooth, and they used lightning to highlight movement extremely well. A few minor camera jostles here and there and I think the Detective's microphone was a tad lower but overall, an amazing production for one of their first showings!

I saw The book of Mormon and waitress here valet parking is very affordable and convenient. There’s really not a bad seat in the house. Staff is very friendly. Always a great experience.

i have nothing but great things to say about The Hobby Center experience. Only once have i used garage parking, it's $15. I aim to park around City Hall. the employees have always been super helpful and courteous, one even smiled for my camera. The drinks are a bit overpriced, but that doesn't stop me from purchasing before and for intermission. if it's a popular show, you can expect the elevator line to be long, but it moves along. I've never seen a faster moving ladies line than the one that forms here at the ladies restroom during intermission. The seats are comfy, but if you are plus size the arm space might be limited. Anyone of any ability is able to attend because they make accommodations, which is marvelous. The great thing about the Hobby Center is that it allows people of all incomes to attend. Tickets prices usually begin around $35 to $40. all seats and good seats regardless of the level. I've never used a valet so can't comment on that but I always see that it's full.
Definitely come out and see a show!
