Beautiful auditorium for sure. Great venue. But the seats, at least in the balcony, are way too narrow and small for even someone at 6 foot. I had an aisle seat thinking it would be better but as soon as I sat down not all the way, my legs were already squished against the front with my left leg having to go under the armrest on the left. I knew right then that I could not sit that way during the performance. Also the narrowness between the armrests for someone that these doesn't even have a big booty, was too tight. It was very very uncomfortable. I actually moved to the very top where the bar stools are to sit because I was not sitting so uncomfortably. I saw many others have this issue but I chose to do something about it. The other big issue was the ushers. I don't know if their student paid or what but they were terrible. They did not assist people to the right seat they just stood there and watch people not understand how the seating worked. The seating chart and how it is numbered across the aisles is also terrible It was very confusing for patrons and I as a patron had to help other patrons understand and find their seats when this should have been the ushers job. During the performance, two of the ushers were sitting next to me and they were talking the entire performance. I thought that was very very rude. If they don't want to be there then don't be there. But it would have been so much better if they would have found usher's that care about their job. Find some senior citizens that are really passionate about helping others and put them there and they would have been better at it. Some patrons when the performance started had to find their seats and had to turn their flashlights on because the ushers were just sitting back and doing nothing or they had to sit down in the middle of the walking stair aisle before a break after the end of a song. I will never be going there again because of these horrible experiences and I truly feel for GWU students who have to experience this. Those ushers whatever you want to call them should not be ushers again because they were not ushering people into their seats as they should have been.

Went here twice, first for Katie Ledecky and second time for Bill Gates. Good place, comfort chair, well-organized.

Excellent opera on March 1, fantastic cast and orchestra.

Double-date with our son and his new girlfriend. There’s no bad seat in the theater. There’s no actual seating assignment once you’re inside as we could’ve probably sat anywhere, other than the reserved seats.

The crowd was pleasant and attentive. The atmosphere was calm. Be sure to use the restroom prior to the start of the event; as it’s a little ways downstairs then back up a few steps.

I liked the auditorium. It’s a good size. Might fit around 3000 people comfortably. The Afghan Student Association at GW hosted a charity concert there. The staff were friendly and directive.

I’m sure if you’re hosting a show or talk, you should be able to rent it out.

Came to see Rachel Maddow talk about her new book. The facility was nice and the staff were friendly and efficient.
