Reviews of Popejoy Hall

Matthew Atencio

You can't beat this venue. Easy to park, if you go early you can eat at saggio's, frontier, or any of the other close locations. Every show I've seen there's not a bad seat in the house. The greeters are friendly, and you can sometimes by really cute merchandise. I loved coming here when I was in college and will continue to come here throughout my life!

Cynthia Kelly

Went to see To Kill A Mockingbird at Popejoy Hall. The shuttle system was GREAT from the G Lot with friendly, helpful, professional drivers. Efficient service. The entrance to the hall was a little difficult to find, but the staff were helpful and patient. I was seated in the nosebleed section, but it was a surprisingly good view and easy listening. They do offer hearing buds that were good for one member of my party. The seats were cramped and not very comfortable and it was a little cold. All in all, though, it was a good experience.

Tami Torres

My sister and I went to watch "To Kill a Mockingbird" last night! I was impressed by the actor's ability to capture the essence of the story. I truly felt like I was watching the book unfold. Popejoy Hall was very nice and well kept, I gave 4 stars because it was a bit on the colder side. My only suggestion is bring a warm jacket, and get there about 30-45 minutes early. Parking is $8, but it is limited.

Jane Hill

Many many years of experience. Saw "Fiddler" Opening night. Row H center. Very tall man somewhat obstructed my view. It happens. Show was great. Cast political statement at the end was inappropriate. Free parking in G lot is quick and easy both ways. Lucky to have arts of any kind in ABQ.

Jeff Winchester (Jelly)

Saw The Illusionists w my adult daughter. Wonderful show, staff was friendly and competent. No problem finding seats. No concessions available during the intermission other than water. I suppose it keeps the place cleaner

Terry Kominiak

What a great venue! The seats were comfy and the sound was outstanding. We saw "To Kill a Mockingbird" and although Richard Thomas starred as Atticus, all of the performances were top notch!

Markus Jennings

This was my first time attending a show and I was pleased with the performance. I was especially grateful for the comfort of the seats. Too often, halls like this have uncomfortable seating with limited leg room. That was not the case.

Roy Martin

Performance was great. Audio was good. Staff was orderly and well attentive. I only wish that the patons seated had enough class and respect for the performers that they didn't talk throughout the event.

patricia wilson

The Nutcracker Ballet by the New Mexico Ballet Co. was beautiful. There wasn't a bad seat in any part of Popejoy Hall. Although I was surprised at how small it was, I had expected a much larger auditorium, for a city, the size of Albuquerque. Still, it was perfect. We had a great night, ballet, and a great dinner afterwards.

Robert Stubbs

Performance was great, a few snobby patrons that are feeling entitled, of which can be easily ignored. However, the 2 hour wait to get out of that parking structure can make life unpleasant. It is an event on the campus. Getting the UNM police or security to make traffic flow better would be an excellent idea for events that are popular.

Joseph Lucero

I'm always happy seeing a show at PopejoyHall. I had a great time seeing the nutcracker for the first time. Very impressed. If I can get tickets, I'll be taking my mom to the same show next weekend!!

Randy Nichols

If you live in the Albuquerque area, it is a must see venue. Go see a play, musical or a great musical group. It's a beautiful place to visit.

Ram-Rod 2388

Went to go watch Step Afrika. I really enjoyed the show and interacting with audience. Seats were a little closer than I'd like, and no security check... Overall enjoyable.

Suzanna Smith

I always love going to Popejoy. It is a great venue to see quality live entertainment. We saw Simon and Garfunkel last Saturday. It was a good show.

Eric Mazzie

5 out of 10 stars. The staircase shakes and makes a noise when you walk down to get to the restrooms. A lot of the interior near the fine arts academic advisement offices seem quite outdated with wood paneling and old laminated tiling all throughout the hallways. The bathrooms need remodeling as well. Green chairs are quite comfortable though! I expect upgrades in the near future. Especially considering that the University is a money magnet. 💰

Rudy Hoffman

My daughter, Heather, and I went to the Doo Wopp concert on April first, at Popejoy. I have over 1,200 CDs of music from my teenage and young adult years. (50s and 60s). My daughter grew up listening to much of this music with me. This concert was a Christmas gift from Heather. The fact that she put such time and effort to choose a gift close to my heart meant a GREAT deal to me. I wanted the concert to be significant and meaningful to both of us. At the time, I didn't realize how much a part the Popejoy hall would play in our wonderful evening. The hall has 1,985 seats. I estimated during the show that the place was at least 97 percent full. However, the lobby allowed more than enough room for all the concert goers. Getting into the theater itself required some patience, but there was little pushing or shoving. Once inside the theater, Heather and I had no idea where our seats were located, having never been there previously. Before I could get concerned, a bevy of female ushers approached the entering crowd and anyone who needed assistance got help immediately. The seats themselves were comfy. I can vouch for that because I am 6'4" tall. Heather and I were seated in the back. As I looked around the entire venue, including the stage, I realized there was not a bad seat in the house. The stage was unobstructed and a clear view appeared available to anyone in the main seating area. I can't speak for those in the balcony. With appropriate lighting and excellent temperature control, all that was finally needed technically was an excellent sound system to complete the requirements for a thoroughly enjoyable evening. I need not have worried as the sound was neither too loud nor too wimpy. There were no screeching microphones or any kind of flies in the soup to spoil a very rewarding night. The performers were true Broadway veterans. However, that wouldn't have mattered much if the all the elements mentioned beforehand weren't in place. Even getting to the bathrooms during the intermission was quick and easy because of their close placement to the theater and the number of restrooms available. OK. So, yes; I am one of those people who say, "Why use one word when 10 or 20 will do?" I went into considerate detail because I think the staff at Popejoy and future attendees deserve nothing less. Had the staff been rotten at their jobs, I would have excoriated them with same amount of scrutiny as the above review. As you know by now, I highly recommend Popejoy auditorium as a venue and now you know why. RRH

William Miller

The best venue in Albuquerque for quality entertainment. I have been attending Popejoy for over 50 years. UNM and the foundation have made a concerted effort to keep this facility updated and in great condition all those years.

Lawrence Talahongva

Located on the campus of UNM. Very nice auditorium. Great shows coming back from covid protocol's. Seating in the "pit" doesn't feel secured to the floor but a good visual overall.

Fred Boo

The musical Hairspray was fantastic! The building was nice, seating comfortable, and the ushers were helpful. Buses were available to take us from the parking lot to Pope Joy we're efficient. Great idea!

Jeremy Dencklau

Awesome facility. Absolutely atrocious staff. They have to be the rudest, most pretentious collection of individuals they could find. Luckily, the facility is amazing. Fantastic acoustics. The best place to take in a concert.

Foodie Albuquerque

UNM Wind Symphony was absolutely wonderful! Very beautiful performances! 👏👏 Nice family night out! …

Gaby Galaviz

Beautiful location for shows, music and much more. Restroom location can be difficult at first to find and use but facility is otherwise well laid out. Best place to keep up Broadway shows.

Erin Semler (Sakeittome)

Beautiful event hall. Facilities are nice and parking is nearby. They used to serve wine at intermission but are no longer doing this since pandemic- wish they would bring that back.

Glenn Felton

The theater is OK. The show, Mariachi Christmas, was a little odd. A lot of narration and an increasingly odd presentation as it went on. The devil and an angel fighting over indigenous souls? Really? A bit of ballet that seemed like some embedded Nutcracker? I also had a couple seated next to me that wouldn't stop texting. I left at intermission

adam stewart

It was an amazing experience. What a beautiful building with fantastic architecture and brilliant views of the stage from any seat in the house. The Nutcracker was phenomenal.

Mark Wuest

Nice venue with nice acoustics. Has an optional membership, but members often take all of the good seats for popular shows.

Marty Threet

It's a wonderful venue. I have had season tickets for probably 20 years. I saw hairspray. It was a great production. Easy parking in the parking structure. Would highly recommend

Blane Armstrong

Very good concert and show venue. They have made adjustments and the sound levels and quality is very good. Good views from any seat in the house. The Volunteer staff is outstanding.

Michael Cox (Mike)

Ottmar Liebert with his percussionist and bass guitarist who wrote the arrangement for the accompanying NM Philharmonic Orchestra. Amazing what he can do with that Flamenco guitar!

Chris

Amazing performance of Hairspray! They added in personal touches to highlight being in NM which added to the show. Only continual negative is parking. The price of the garage went up (why?) Parking in the A lot is even more expensive. Only other option is to ride a shuttle and park off-site? If it weren't for parking, this would be a five star review.

Judge Whetten

Good theater, but the acoustics are not great. Anything other than the balcony and you should be fine.

Merilyn Wafer

Went to see Hair spray last night with the husband & step-daughter. As always the production was great worth the money and so glad they are bringing great performances. A definite must!!!

Mike S

Great venue, we were able to literally park within a half block of the entrance!

Connie

Performances always great. Small enough to see performers. Bought tickets for To Kill a Mockingbird

Roberta Jack

The ballet was wonderful. The ushers were very good. My feet were cold. lol

Ginger Eldridge

It has been my experience that any of the seats have very good views. The acoustics also seem fine. We enjoy attending some of the concerts that they have here. The are always people that direct you if you have any problems finding your seat. Best suggestion is to park and let the bus take you there because the parking there costs and it's not great in our experience.

Sara Norby

Very nice venue. We saw The Nutcracker for Christmas time. Very well done performances by all who were on stage!

Glenda Sanchez

This venue is amazing! There are a couple of levels of seating, but really there's not a bad spot in the entire place! The grand hall is absolutely stunning and the entry is beautiful and reminiscent of old world style ballrooms. I absolutely love the beautiful stage and the plush seats! We sat for a very long perfprmamce and I was comfortable the whole time! Even the bathrooms are elegantly done with beautiful hardwood and updated touch free wash stations. The show we saw was Mean Girls, it was absolutely wonderful and entertaining and so amazing how beautifully it was performed! The only drawback was the directions for arrival. It was dark, I am not familiar with the area, and there were road blocks at different entrances making navigating with Maps a challenge. The parking garage was $7 but so close and very spacious. We were able to park within 300ft of the front doors to the Hall. It was a great experience and we will definitely look forward to seeing more performances!

Jenn Onarheim

I love that we have a play to enjoy big shows coming through town.

Rick

The venue is a great space with wonderful sightlines throughout. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Stephanie Vargas

I've been going to Popejoy since I was little for Broadway shows. The staff is always super friendly and the shows are great!

Alireza T Afshari

We have been there few times . Well organized, clean and sound system is amazing.

Lou Wagner

Good venue. Acoustics could be better but they get good shows.

Deanna Lopez

I LOVE attending shows at Popejoy! So many great shows and the prices are reasonable. What a class act! Will return again and again for great shows!!

Deblyn McCaughin

My friend took me to the venue for a symphony and it was superb. This is a grand venue.

Cedric allrunner

Great place to see a show. I saw the Illusionists there. I was very entertained.

Angie Valdez

Seating is too close and seats not wide enough. It will be nice when they bring back the consession stand.

Darrell Blair

We attend shows regularly, they finally started selling snacks, which is great

Lee Ann Hall

To be back in a choir room after 25 years really brought the full nostalgic moment to life here.

Matt Luce

Popejoy is a wonderful place to see a show. The staff have always been courteous and effective during my attendance. The facilities are excellent, and the auditorium itself is well designed. My one caution would be to avoid tickets on the extreme edges of the seating plan; otherwise, there aren't really any bad seats in the whole place. Parking is very easy and safe if one is willing to pay the event fee for the UNM Central parking structure, a short walk away across a campus plaza.

Jennifer Nisengard

Incredible productions in a theater that can only be described as a New Mexico gem!

Breanna Perea

Great events. The seats are too small. Not inclusive for everyone to be comfortable.

Andrea Scott

This place is nice for concerts, plays and touring Broadway shows. The acoustics are great. It's nicely sloped so pretty much all seats can see the stage.

Valle Gregory

Great experience. A must go place To very early if you need handicaps parking

ROBERT GALLEGOS

Beautiful venue for watching seasonal favorites, like the Nut Cracker!! Very friendly staff.

Judy Schaefer

What a wonderful theater!! And to have garage parking right next door for $7 and FREE shuttle/parking in outside lots. Amazing. I always love my Popejoy experiences.

Laura K

Great venue for concerts and theater. The volunteers are outstanding and assist in any way possible. Popejoy attracts top-rated entertainment. It is such a community gem!

Bruce Heilbrun

Saw Anastasia! Amazingly wonderful performance! Seats roomy and comfortable. Their Covid policy is a little backwards. People who have been vaccinated and boosted are as safe as possible, those not...good luck with that, hope it works out for you! Hamilton is delayed, but it's a show I'm looking forward to seeing! Sans Covid19!

Haley Gibson (H.G.Fangirl)

Absolutely love all the shows that come through, and a wonderful venue!

Jerry H

I normally have the cheap seats in the middle or the back. However this last time we had seats in the orchestra section. The view was great until a big guy took his seat in front of me. Not enough pitch of the floor in this section.

Peggy P

Pope Joy Hall was very conscientious about screening everyone regarding Covid-19 vaccination records and matching it up to our picture and driver's license. Afterward we were given a orange wristband for verification that we have passed inspection. Everyone wore a mask and kept it on through the entire performance. Experience was excellent for my first time back as a season subscriber. Thank you Pope Joy Hall for protecting our health and making it a wonderful night out.

Cheryl McCarthy

Popejoy does a really good job of bringing good entertainment to our city.

Melba Maese

Went to Popejoy Hall to the Nutcracker. Show was amazing. The staff was very professional. They checked for Covid Vaccinations and made sure everyone was wearing a mask. They also, helped find your seats. Great experience.

Y.Maxine Allbritton

Beautiful theater with a great view from every seat!

j d

This was my first outing with such a large group of people. Everyone is masked and as we entered the building we are instructed to show our vaccine cards and a photo ID. I do not feel totally safe, but it is either this situation or stay home. The play was Mean Girls, it was fun.

D. Oller

NMBC had the most marvelous show ever! The artistic director, Anna Bridge simply outdid herself. The show stood out as one of my most memorable! Thank you New Mexico Ballet Company

Jeffrey Smith

It's a great hall and right on the UNM Campus. You can see so many different types of performances here, like the NM Philharmonic or a Broadway Show. Lots of accessible parking, restaurants, fast food and the bookstore are within walking distance.

Marie Palos

Is a very nice theater. We enjoyed their convocation for family day this year. The campus is beautiful.

Myra Chavez

Fiddler on The Roof was sooo good!! Really enjoyed it!!

indigostarchild01

It's a beautiful performance area they had a lot of staff members all wearing their masks made sure we all had our covid vaccination cards on hand when visiting the auditorium to see a show everything went well.

Sarah Atkeison

Very pleasant small theater on the campus of UNM. Parking always a problem. Very few handicapped spaces. Long lines at payment kiosks in parking garage. Total bottleneck trying to get out of the one exit of parking garage.

David Gibson

Wonderful as always! Great theater, great staff!!

Carleigh Carter

2021 review - they had a good system going for checking covid vaccinations, so we weren't kept waiting. The productions are great and I've never seen a technical difficulty while being there (🤞). Fast experience! …

Rusty Connor

Lovely place to see a play. Seats are comfy.

Frank Slocomb

Great, I wear hearing aid. They have loop.

Keith Jordan

Great concert venue. Comfortable seats and wonderful acoustics!

Michael Shepherd

Jersey Boys, great music, told a story of the Four Seasons and Frankie Vallie. You laughed, cried, and saw how the industry con artists took them financially. Between 1962 to 1978 The Four Seasons sold 100 Million records... Jersey Boys was nothing short of fantastic

Sam Tri

Well laid out and organized, especially during COVID. Great shows, friendly staff. Parking can be a pain, but worth it. Always enjoy the shows!

Ryan Boguski

Awesome shows, good sound quality, awesome place to go.

Carolyn Williams

Fiddler on the roof was as good as a Broadway performance!

Russ Sprandel

Awesome concert! Especially liked the woodwinds.

Tina Hite

Volunteers are very helpful and the new electronic ticketing process makes everything super easy. The shows are wonderful and sound is good.

Julian A. Wolf

On campus, get there quite early. Lovely venue.

Mark Campbell

Great time seeing Mean Girls. Thanks for the smooth process checking vaccination status and requiring masks! The show was top notch!

MASKR 6

So many memories and great shows

Robert Bliss

Great venue to enjoy a show or performance. They do still require masks, so you may care to stay away till they catch up.

Linda Broaddus

The performance was awesome

ravecake

Really nice theater, sat in dd208 and was able to see the stage very well. Good sound. Seems to me like there aren't many "bad seats" and if there were any I'd say most likely orchestra, because the seats are all level and youd likely have a head in the way, not a problem on the mezzanine

Lee Weinland

Broadway quality theater in New Mexico. Shows usually arent first year runs but as professional as NYC without the high cost. Parking right near is safe & well lit. They installed new bathrooms!

Tracy Jaramillo

Had a blast at the Disney concert with my neice. The staff was friendly and the venue clean. I was disappointed they had no concessions but given Covid its understandable.

R. Yates

Aawesome show!!! Great venue!!!

Colleen

Simply love Popejoy, always interesting and fun performances to choose from. Traffic isn't fun and I worry about my car being broken into, but that's Central and why I don't shop in the area.

Annette Hildebrand

Fantastic venue. Beautiful design, but most importantly great acoustics. Not a bad seat in the house.

Dru Tagliapietra

Saw Fiddler on the Roof, excellent musical.

Patricia Kent

Kill Queen concert..thril of my life! Beautiful hall! Queenie:)

Michael Rivera

We come here for piano practice

Nick R

Always have quality entertainment & a great parking setup with shuttle buses. Seating is arranged so views of stage is good. Almost ALWAYS overpriced for the seats that are farther from the stage.....really have to pick your shows carefully if you are on a budget.

Alice Montoya

I had a great experience! Everything went smooth.

Roxroy Reid

Excellent show. We have season tickets and hope to keep them; it makes it so much easier to enjoy the show.

AMY LMT

Shows are great but theater is not. Rows are narrow, knees almost touch another seat if you are tall. Incline is very small so you can't see well because of peoples heads. So the viewing experience is disappointing.

Chris Torres

The show was very nice, easy to get in and seating was good. Paying in the garage was very slow, do to there only being one pay booth per floor.

Skudmonkey 2.0!

It’s a fun place to come see concerts and performances. But I wish there were more spacing between seating rows. And that they can use some kind of sanitizing agent instead of just wiping the instruments off with a small peace of of tissue after kids put their lips on them. But other then those 2 things It’s a fun place to check out!

David

This place produces wonderful sound. Good location being in the university area but hard to really point out and does not really stand out. But the inside is modern and acoustics sound great. Premier place in Albuquerque to watch performances.

Orion Stradford

I love going to shows at Popejoy. Every seat has a decent view of the stage. Nearby parking structure, and easy park and ride if you prefer. Great places to eat within walking distance for before or after your show.

Freddie Romero

I came with daughter's class for a field trip. They kept it fairly organized in keeping classes together while moving into the building and seating us, although the process was extremely slow. The seating was cramped, even sitting next to children. The performance itself was really the bright spot.

John Ballenthin

Good selection of shows and concerts to choose from. Many restaurants for before or after meals. Free parking and bus service at the remote lot.

Angela Valdez

Comfortable seating, great venue!

Dev Wheeler

Beautiful theater. We had balcony seats near the back which was honestly too far for me to see well.

Connie Dixon

It was quick and easy prove vaccine status. Restrooms clean. The Righteous Brothers were great for all ages!

Liz G

The Finding Neverland show was amazing! The cast gave a wonderful performance! The Popejoy Hall employees are very helpful. There's a snack bar that sells water, coffee, cookies 🍪. Parking is pretty accessible. …

Amber Prehis

Love Popejoy Hall and the many wonderful shows it brings to us! Thanks!!!

Roe E

Was very angry that I had to not only wear a mask but had to prove vaccinated. I had my record in the car but had I known ahead of time, I would have made sure to have it on my person

Lin Craft

Masks required, proof of vaccines as well. The show was excellent and 1st one since covid. ( Mean Girls).

David Easter

Lovely place to see live entertainment. Good seating, sound, and helpful staff!

Les Sarantinos

just saw Beautiful... The carol king story Great music...production... Great entertainment. Nice venue.

Cliff Spencer

An excellent venue for watching concerts, plays and related entertainment. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Sophia Garrett

I have seen some good shows here but seems like their sound system needs some work. Recently, I went to see chorus line and throughout the whole show there was crackling. When I pay $150 for a ticket I expect nothing but the best.

Tina Hite

I love getting to see great plays locally. I enjoy my annual Broadway in New Mexico subscription.

Dean Pappas

Signs need to be posted clearly for bathrooms. No need for a treasure hunt when you have to go.

Patty Adams

This venue is terrific! I've been 4 rows from the stage all the way up to the nose bleed section at the top of the balcony! Every seat feels intimate & as if the performance is being put on just for you. Love Popejoy and love the variety of shows available each year. Here for Albuquerque Youth Symphony Program.

Sharon Tenorio

Dear Evan Hanson was awesome.

Elaine Smith

Wonderful venue for watching famous plays they put on there. They have a 10/10 on my scale.

Ari Wellman

Fantastic artists, great program. But people who insist on talking at the symphony should be at the mercy of the orchestra.

Lorann Dennison

Came to see the Jersey Boys, was pretty awesome, had a great time. Excellent place to see live performances.

Denise Smith

Great show , great seats for Bill Maher . First visit at Popejoy and looking forward to seeing more events there. Great venue ,although parking in garage sucked when it came to getting out in a timely manner

J C

Saw David Sedaris again. Had a great time.

David Hale

New Mexico's premier venue, there isn't a bad seat in the house. Popejoy offers world- class productions.

Ernest McMillan

Popejoy Hall is an excellent venue, delivering an amazing array of unique artists, great acustics, and can't miss seating!

Patricia Edwards Witmer

I so appreciate that masks and proof of vaccinations are required. The play was wonderful but even more wonderful was feeling safe

Eric Rhoades

This is a great venue for many types of shows. The staff is courteous and helpful.

Madeline Dunn

Wonderful Broadway performances.

Ruth Mora

Great theater! The sound system is much improved. Looking forward to attending more plays. Next time I'll pay for more leg room.

Jeffrey Cline

This has been a great venue for decades.

Isaac Chilcote

Always a great spot to enjoy great music!

denise vargas

Attended many shows here, the latest being the Princess Concert. Very friendly staff and good atmosphere.

Mari Chavez

I really appreciate the variety of shows they host. I wish they offered some more inexpensive tickets and not just for students. Would be appreciated to include everyone in the beauty of the arts, not just those that can afford $50 a ticket.

Derrick W.

Great location and variety if shows. Get there earlier as parking can be difficult. Often it is better to utilize the shuttle system but this gets hectic after the show ends due to rush to load the busses.

David Hobson

I've never been disappointed by a show at Popejoy. Always an enriching and enjoyable experience.

Ariane Kulik

Very nice theater. I've seen shows here on several occasions with seat all over the auditorium and every seat has been enjoyable. There are yummy snacks for sale at intermission. A lot of great shows come through Pope Joy and it is definitely worth your time. Great date idea.

Leroy Garcia

I have been there on several occasions for different events and enjoyed being there every time. A great place.

Steve Brooks

Great viewing no matter where you sit! They have great shows, we have season tickets and have never been disappointed! Great place on the UNM campus for the whole family.

Arthur Ahren Edelhoff

Can't wait to share my work!

Tristan Marino

The hall itself is great but surrounding facilities less so. Parking is expensive and the bathrooms in the building aren't the greatest. There's lots of cute restaurants in this part of central if you wanna grab a bite before your show.

Angela Thompson

Went to see the Nutcracker and it was wonderful. The volunteers near the balcony area were very helpful and friendly.

Adrian Ornelas

Beautiful venue that makes even the poor feel high class. It is a joy to watch a show or even perform at.

Richard Pellecchia II

Amazing! Great Venue! NM Philharmonic is one of our cities treasures! Saw the tribute to Queen, absolutely fantastic! Bring your kids and get them involved in the Arts :)

David Vasquez

Very cool place to see the New Mexico Phil

Joyce Laing

Performance was top notch. Few hiccups in delay of show. Voices and choreography were fantastic

Amanda Wright

I have not been here in years went for my grandaughters performance with the NM Philharmonic. The building looks very nice I love all the little updates that they have done especially the little Cafe inside it is reasonably priced and all the staff/ volunteers are very helpful and nice. The performance was wonderful!!

Jonas Collis

A beautiful place for a concert!

Stan Alexander

The best venue in NM for seeing anything from touring Broadway shows to musical concerts!

Lajuan Guerrero

We had an amazing time watching Hairspray!

Patsy Tafoya

We enjoyed an amazing and inspiring performance of Come From Away at Popejoy of UNM.

Jennifer Edwards

We easily found parking and got to our seats with out a problem. The ticket takers seemed confused. They wanted to do a good job but had a hard time with the technology.

Chris Hernandez

Nice venue for dance recitals, plays etc. Parking structure and outdoor parking lots available.

Rich Cederberg

This is a great place to catch a concert or show, and the remodeled bathrooms are much nicer!

jack vanlyssel

Cleveland highschool has a better auditorium but, Popejoy has a weird statue of a man and a woman dancing. Take that Cleveland!

D Jcksn

Great show, great venue!!

Patricia Hernandez

Love this place, very comfortable seats and wonderful staff

Brendan Purtell

Saw The Nutcracker, great show, everyone was efficient and professional with COVID safety protocols. Great experience overall

Aaron Baker

Great place to see a great show, already seen The Lion King and Les Mis, Wicked is up next!

Kevin Burger

Awesome venue for concerts. Good view from any seat. Acoustics are great.

Laura Gonzales

Amazing shows in a good venue. We just saw Beautiful, the Carole King story.

Ss S

Romero and Juliette was amazing 👏 …

Joy Munson

This is a beautiful campus with flowers, trees, sculptures, statues - even a duck and turtle pond! Pope Joy Hall is great - so many interesting things to see!

misty tucson

I would like to thank Brian the manager of the Popejoy Hall, we were coming to ABQ from out of town to see the Lion King show and had a mix up on my tickets.. With no questions asked Brian accommodated my daughter and I and saved our night ... Thank you so much for understanding, we had an amazing time and are extremely grateful !!!

SirJohnny Dragon

My Wife and I hold session and tickets, we enjoyed the performance at the venue very much, I'm over 50 and the only thing I don't like is that you can't drink anything, I suffer from chronic dry mouth because of medication, so because of this I have to be sneaky, I feel that they need to change some of the rules because I'm quite sure I'm not the only person who who suffers from this type of thing, 95% of the people I see in there are people in my age group and we are on medication and are not going to be m making a mess in the auditorium..this is my opinion of course I guess I might be wrong

andrew chavez

Good acustics. Friendly staff. Prices are a little steep. Parking leaves a bit to be desired. Overall would definitely recommend.

Joe Carolan

Nice theatre. Take some time When selecting your seats. My view was partially blocked.

Ed Kowalczyk

Fantastic facility with great quality acoustics and a phenomenal orchestra! So glad to be back after a long wait.

813 Albuquerque

The event we saw, the best performance, quality with out question. But the parking wasn't organized in the same way than other occasions.

Melissa Alexander

Outstanding modern venue for concerts and performances. The seating is fairly comfortable. Parking is close by.

Dan Lichok

Always a great place to enjoy fine art and theater.

Cecilia Rojas

Really, no bad seats just alot of steps or a short ride in a small elevator. Courteous staff, clean restrooms.

April

We really enjoy the Popejoy Schooltime Series! The prices are very affordable, and the shows are fantastic! Our favorites have been the Bubble Show and the Call of the Wild.

Sandra Kutarnia

Sound of Music was excellent! Sound system seemed much better with this performance than in the past.....clearer, crisper, not garbled. Cast was delightful.

Selma Saavedra

Bathroom was filthy! No coffee or snacks. Jersey Boys were great !

Hoyt Roberson

Clean, attractive, comfortable theater. The facilities are attractive and make for a satisfying experience. The venue isn't large, parking ($7) is convenient, and the staff is friendly and considerate. A minor drawback is the distance, or lack of it between the rows. You're going to have to sit up because there isn't space to extend your legs and access to interior seats is like running an obstacle course. There are unobstructed views from every seat and the sound system allows for good hearing. Recommended.

Betty Bless

A variety of things for families goes on at Popejoy, dance, theater, piano and many others. They have very good teachers in charge of these programs and that is really good.

Alona Malone (kotenka)

The school time series are really nice.

Joy Zgleszewski

Always a great evening at Popejoy Hall.

R Raven

Just went to see Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture. Amazing performance and overall experience. Cant wait to see Les Miserables in May!

Gina Aragon

Well first of all parking is grossly too high priced. The building is awesome but doesn't really accomadate truly handicapped people.

greygodchris

Amazing venue to watch shows and plays!

Joel Edwards

I have watched a number of shows here. Even with a packed house it people can still move pretty quickly thanks tho the layout of the facility.

Ed Kossmann

Great shows, great venue! Seats are tight, needs an upgrade soon.

Linda Hatley

Show was wonderful. Staff and volunteers so helpful and attentive

Angie Gallegos

We went for a daytime, children's performance. It's run by volunteers, a few of which have very little patience for children. Probably not the best choice of volunteer activities for those people.

Samuel Miller

Has the latest Broadway shows at a great price and if you are a student , most of the time you can get a discount!!!

Cristelle Cox-Johnson

Love coming to off Broadway shoes here. Not a bad seat in the house.

Luke Frerichs

This is a great venue - not a bad seat in the house. The university provides convenient and free parking from Lot G (University, just before Lomas). The only gripe I have is that the seats are a bit narrow. I'm not a big guy, but I find myself rubbing shoulders a bit more than I would like.

Gregory Johnson

Beautiful venue for a play

Chris Ladra

Great Art museum, extremely interesting

Muhamed Abdel-Hack

Excellent local venue for terrific performances

j b

Easy to park. Great sound. Comfortable seats. Great eating nearby. Have seen over 100 shows there.

Mark Johnstone

Wonderful theatre. Park for events at Shuttle Lot G, Lomas and University and ride free bus to theatre. Lot is on East side if University, opposite hospital. Not on Google Maps.

Lacunya Daughtrey

Wonderful performance! I always love going there!!!

Edward Walton

This is a very nice Broadway show theater! It's not huge, which lets the majority of seats have great views, even in the balcony. I've seen a number of shows here, including Rock of Ages, Taiko Drumming, and most recently Wicked!

Alec Wallentinsen

A great venue for concerts, Broadway shows, plays.

Liz C

Went here for my cousin's graduation. Seats were comfortable. Unfortunately, the lighting on the stage was harsh so it was hard to see the faces of those on it. Even tougher to take pictures of my cousin getting her doctorate.

Daniel Gonzales

Rigging, Tearing out Wicked

Jeff Satterfield

Finding Neverland was excellent. Enjoyed it to the fullest, the fire alarm that emptied the theater right before the performance not withstanding.

Matthew Murray

Great venue but it does not slope enough for short people to see the stage. The rest rooms are down stairs and the others are small and far away

Mike S

Great venue but not sure why they still require a mask. Pointless.

Fernando Martínez

Great place to enjoy a concert or a musical.!!!

Tonya Manzano

We've enjoyed several shows at this venue.

I am a season ticket holder at PopeJoy Hall a great place to see a concert or Broadway play

Nancy Hagan

The hall is beautiful parking is terrible. Go early the bathrooms are downstairs like 3 flights of stairs. With my broken foot it was very difficult.

C Yaz

I was able to enjoy the production of Wicked thanks to my sister & nephew! The music and costumes are very colorful and beautiful! I was disappointed with the sound, at times i couldn't hear all that was said sitting in the very back row.

Chris Lucero

I'm in a wheelchair and they were very helpful getting me where I needed to go and comfortable.

Josh Johnson

Pretty great hall. Saw pirates of penzance. Super dope

Joan Correll

Always a delightful experience. The shuttle is particularly helpful and efficient.

Patricia Weiss

Amazing concert by Bernadette Peters. $20.00 for upper balcony seat for this Broadway icon. A great lifetime experience! Acoustically, line-of-view, and decoratively great, spotlessly clean concert hall. Easy access from free handicapped parking structure. Elevator to lower bathroom floor and to lower balcony, but quite a few stairs to upper balcony seats. Never disappoints!

Hope Bravo

It would be nice if they expanded the concessions a bit. Right now cookies and coffee are about all you can get

Glenda Johnson

I love Popejoy! They bring in some of the biggest Broadway shows like Cats and The Lion King. Definitely worth a try!

Taylor Spence

The acoustics in the far tippy top way back are sublime. This hall is a true gift to the city.

Luke Huebner

Wonderful Broadway auditorium with good sound in the mezzanine. The show could be watched without eye strain and the performers were spectacular. They booked a very good showing of Les Miserables. Our ushers were very sweet and kind old women who seemed to enjoy their service to their community.

Charming, collegiate auditorium. Good acoustics. Inconvenient location surrounded by construction makes for a parking nightmare. Fortunately, the university provides a free shuttle to a remote parking lot. Overall, I enjoyed my experience viewing a concert at this auditorium.

Wonderful venue located on the UNM campus

Shane Maier

Always a great experience.

Michael J. McCord

Great venue. Acoustics were unbelievable !

Heather Morlando

I've seen many shows here no matter what seat I got it's always been a good seat.

Vipers2617

Best concert, play hall

Iris Nocchi

The team of ushers were absolutely wonderful to help me to my seat. The acustic sound of the auditorium was so beautiful for the music of Yanni. I loved the music. However, my only complaint would be there isn't an easier way to the upper most part of the balcony with a handicap. Stairs ONLY no elevator! The concert did make up for the climb!

Craig Ponder

Over all good. The alarm went off twice & we all needed to evacuate. Delayed the event.

Lorna Hodgson

Ample leg room, beautiful Nutcracker Ballet.

Vanessa al Rashida

We went here for Shen-Yun. It was a bad performance. I wished the stage was a little bigger but the overall experience was good. Would consider coming back but not for a Shen-Yun performance.

Mark Jewell-Roth

2019 Fishback Dance Studio's Recital was great!

Tony Sadlon

This is certainly the place to see major acts and Broadway shows in New Mexico. However, we deserve better. It's got terrible parking, it's overpriced and tacky located on the university (which is in a very ghetto area with lots of crime). The bathrooms are scattered all over the university building with graffiti and inappropriate words. It'd be really nice if there was a theatre in town that you could go to a nice dinner nearby before, then park comfortably at a classy nice place of its own.

Kathy Jackson

Just saw "Cats" at Popejoy. It was amazing!

Joseph

We enjoyed a nice dance and musical experience.

Paula Stein

Popejoy Hall is a wonderful treasure for Albuquerque. It has so many varied performances thst there is always something of interest to see. One problem they could easily solve--stop seating people who arrive late once the show has begun. It is rude to the performers and disrupts the viewing of many patrons. If they arrive late, then they stand at the back until intermission.
