Reviews of Bergen Performing Arts Center

David Goyco

Great venue to see a show for an intimate performance. Amazingly clean and well kept interiors. My only comments are that the painting detail could be touched up to make it a little more fresh around the frame of the stage, and for the additional seats added to the first couple of rows for concert performances should be numbered so that the guests don't have to count their way down to their seats. Other than that, this is an amazing place to see a show

Jay Smith

Very nice 1920's style theater that has been recently renovated. The sound system is very good and most seats have a good view. Bathrooms have been redone also, but are too small for a full house. Drink prices are typical for a night out, but did come with a heavy pour.

Javier Barrera

Saw the Nutcracker! It was a great performance, I give a 5 star rating to the production and the people performing. However, the usher sitting people on the right side orchestra was extremely rude to my family. So the BPAC staff get the 3 stars.

Francisco Nogueras

This place is a hidden gem -:if you know you know. I've been coming here for over a decade and it never disappoints.

Angela Rose

Nice size venue, upper and lower seating. My first time there at an Ace Frehley show.

Lynette Perry

Quick check in, quick snack & drink line. The seats & temperature were comfortable. The sound system was great. Not to mention the staff there was also great. Can't wait for renovation to be 100% completed.

Ashley Mack

The stage lights kept moving, which would be fine if they weren't moving to shine directly in the audience's eyes! So painful. I left with a migraine and that's never happened to me at a live performance before. I've never seen the lights handled like that before either. The rest of the service and venue were great.

T Patt (NewAgeofTruth)

Yesterday I went to the Price is Right live show. The show was amazing and the energy was electric. Everytime I saw the names on the screen being called it made my heart skip thinking I could be the next name called. While my name wasn't called it was great seeing the behind the scenes mechanics of it all. The center was spacious and multi level. My wife and I bought some Momentos at the concession stand. We were at the upstairs section and screaming our faces till we turned blue with excitement. When it was all done we walked to the car laughing at the memories

Matilde Villacorta

Good Place and Air Supply has a awesome Performance there 👏🏻 …

Russell Vanderputten

My date and I sat in the Center Mezzanine Section The seats ( Aisles) are way to close together , my knees were broken afterwards ! I go to a lot of places & shows Different Venues if You will After three hours in those seats My legs were numb ... As far as William Shatner ! He was William Shatnerism ... Third time I have Seen him on Stage ! RCV xo 🎬

james Gordy

Perfect place to see an event, totally redone, nice and clean, great sound system. Easy public parking across street that's free after a certain time of day.

Quinn McLean

Bergen PAC is amazing. I love coming. Here to see shows and then it's so many great restaurants to go to. Parking is also pretty good as well.

Brian Yi

Attended brian McKnight concert on 2/13/20. One of the best things about this center is the PARKING! Its amazing, street parking all over with a lot of spots. We got parking about 3min walk. Even if u have to walk 10mins that is great compared to Madison sqaure garden. The seating was comfortable, a tad small. I was on the 1st level on the left side and was able to see him clearly. There is alcohol and small snack service at high prices. Helpful employees to find your seating. There is bathrooms on the left side for men and right side for women. I had an enjoyable experience here.

Stephanie Dillahunt

I enjoyed myself the crowd was engaged and respectful. The artists were entertaining and didn't realize how much time went by. I appreciate they started on time. The only thing, I didn't like when the artist was off stage and I would not really see because of the people standing. But overall excellent performance by all.

Fatima Paredes

Came here 1st time was to see Hip-Hop Legends very much worth it. Beautiful theater especially for concert type performances, you get to enjoy the intimacy of it. Staff beautiful very professional & amazing hospitality thank you

Gabrielle Aguele

Great venue especially if you can no longer handle arena sized crowds!

Robert Waterhouse

Great acoustics, not a bad seat in the house.

Dorothy Karcher

Excellent program. Thoroughly enjoyed the Nutcracker. Only problem was couldn't see over woman in front of me who kept moving. Blocking my view

Luis La

Great venue. Not too big and location has lots of choices for dining before the show. Also free street parking after 6 pm.

Vivian Pinto

1st time there and it amazing! Going back in April for another show.

Michael Zearfaus

Saw Almost Queen. Great venue, not a bad seat. Needs more bathrooms, very long line, especially for the ladies.

Elsa Fernandez

It's a nice, cozy place to go. The only drawback is that the space in between the rows is really tight, I am 5'2 for your reference.

Rocco Santomenno

Small venue for shows. If they turned the heat on or shut the HVAC and the volume down so you could hear the vocals, it would earn 5 stars.

Jo “Sweetjo”

Love going to this beautiful theater to see Ruben Studdard perform Luther Vandross songs. The theater is intimate and beautiful.

Edward Quinones

Great place to go see your show ticket prices are just right and they serve booze

Bridget Coolick

Great seats throughout this intimate theater! We saw a concert and it was wonderful - and easy to see the performance up-close, even from the back of the orchestra section. Bring cash for the cash-only drink and snack bar. The staff was friendly. Also, the bathroom line can get long at times.

Jennifer Barber

They did a renovation. But I am honestly unsure where. Just looked very white. 🤷‍♀️ …

Stacey Gonzalez

Went a few times, each visit was great. It's a smaller theater and that makes it better because you always have a pretty good view. Only thing is i wish every had a better concession stand! But the atmosphere is clean and friendly.

el alejandro

Nice small theater in a quaint old town of Englewood, NJ. Be prepared, parking is hard to find.

C Klig

Nice venue, bad show. A Christmas Carol 2022 production was overpriced and God awful.

Matt Stengel

Great show!!! Comfortable seats!!! Small intimate theater without any bad seats!!!

Rich Leon

Wife & I visited for a concert. Great acoustics and not a bad view from any seat however the seats are not friendly for tall people. Spent the last half of the concert standing in the back because my knees were hitting the back of the seat in front of me

Thomas Pugliese

Great place to see a concert! I had great seats, but every seat in the house is a good one and the sound is great. I saw Pat Benatar here and it was amazing!!!

Raymond B Onufer

NO BAD SEAT CAN SEE ANY WHERE FREE PARKING AFTER 6PM IN THE LOTS WHERE BERGEN PAC TELLS YOU CAN PARK LOTS DO TO BEFORE SHOW TIME

Val Tsyplenkov

A cozy concert hall with phenomenal live sound acoustics. Sound and lighting are good, the seats are simple but plenty comfortable. The foyer gets just a bit too crowded before and after the performance. Went there to see Kenny G last night, and the whole affair was SUPER SMOOTH.

Ulysses Varela

Great to be able to see great artists there. Easy to park. Dislike the AUDIO settings, during the last visit on with the amazing Gilberto Santarosa, were exposed to 85 Db for 2 hours nonstop. It's a shame that one can't enjoy a good concert due to a blasting instrument sound and couldn't barely listen to the voice(s).

Babyof66

Really nice venue and friendly staff. Great location.

Richard Blackwell

Easy to get to staff is competent sound was great Queensryche delivered as usual

Chael Blase

It has that old time theatre feel from the 1980's. It's a comfortable size to see a performance there. All the seats are decent. I go as much as I can the this venue

Rosa Gutierrez

The employees extremely friendly and professional. Performances were wonderful and charming.

Jennifer Connolly

It’s nice to see they have fixed it up. We had a lovely experience when we went

Guy Montaina

Went to see Kevin James. Easy to get to. Easy to park. Nice people that were helpful with the COVID Protocols. Even the concession pricing was fair. Overall a good experience. One critique if the cost was nominal I would suggest adding cup holders on the seat arms or somewhere

Wesley Gray

Every aspect of the theater was great,it was clean. Sound was excellent. Usher's were courteous.

Milagros Pagan

Love it...very nice place and have a lot of parking lots around. Organized and clean. Beautiful experience.

Odette Rein

The performances are wonderful. The staff kept checking to make sure everyone on the theater was wearing their mask. The problem is, drinking & eating is allowed at your seat, so the mask has to come off in order to eat or drink.

Miriam

I'm new to the area and love having a performing arts center in the neighborhood. I attended a ballet last week and the experience was disappointing. The ushers were checking for mask compliance, but didn't seem to care about anything else. There was a woman across the aisle from me who was talking the entire time, from beginning to end, videoing constantly, and taking multiple pictures (with the flash) of her shoes. This was disturbing to everyone around her, and although the ushers twice stopped to tell her to put on her mask, they didn't address any of her other behaviors. Also: the theater could use an overall facelift. The gradient is very low, so the view is not great if someone is in front of you, and communication is lacking. The covid requirements were not clearly stayed beforehand, and there was no indication how long the show was and if and how long the intermission would be.

Jane Cho

Concert was awsome! Best ever, our seats were great. VIP room needs a little attention.

Trish Frisbie

I love this theater. The ushers are professional and courteous..you can see the stage clearly from all seats and the sound system is great. Small enough to feel at home with the wonderful array of talent they present. Overall a nice experience!

I MY

Great great show! Saw Sal Valentenetti. I definitely want to see him again! He is a fantastic entertainer! Venue is very nice! UPDATE: 2.5 Years in and you still have to show your covid status!? What a huge disappointment!

Slate Skies9

Nice theater for a small venue. I'd say holds between 800-1000 people?!? The sound system needs a bit of updating but it's not bad at all. Not sure if it's the size or the lay out, but at certain times during a show the sound can get a bit muffled. Also the seats could use a bit of re-padding/updating. Problem's with the old joints, so sitting in the seats for 2 hours was uncomfortable. Just realize it's an older theater and I believe it runs on donations, sponsorships and the money taken in from shows they have there. (Not 100% sure on that. I'm sure you could research the theater online to find out for sure.) All in all it's not bad, it's clean, bright, the staff is very helpful and nice. You do get a good view of the stage from where ever you are in the theater. Plus there are multiple parking lots all around and near the place which is a big plus. It gives you a feeling of a more intimate space to see a show or concert, which is nice. Worth the trip to see a performance of any kind there, you'll enjoy yourself.

Alla Tarashchanskaya

I was watching my granddaughter performance on June 9 at that place. It was Just off Broadway reital. Every dance was amazing.

Joe Marsigliano

Great venue! Staff is very friendly!

Adam Labaziewicz

A very intimate theater. No matter where you sit you feel close to the performer's. The staff was helpful and courteous.

The Critical J

PROS: This theatre is the best all around. They have a goo amount of stars that come: Vic Dibitetto, George Lopez, Cyndi L, Jay Leno, and much more. The staff is always nice, they have a great selection at the snack bar, prices are fair, they have security, and everything is always organized CONS: The parking situation is very bad. When it's a full house street parking is nowhere to be found, Shoprite behind the place doesn't want you in their lot, and the lot across the street in front of it is hardly big. OVERALL: I like this theatre, and there's really nothing wrong with it. Even though they cast people who are either small or were previously big they sure to reel in better people than other theaters.

Bill

Visited for a concert recently. It's a nice, intimate place. Its definitely seen better days aesthetically but it's not falling apart by any means. Parking wasn't an issue at all for us on a Thursday night at around 7 PM. The seats were comfortable, but if you're a tall person they can get a bit cramped. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Biggest complaint is the sound system. Its definitely lacking which is a shame because the size and the acoustics of the place are conducive for a fantastic experience. Would visit again if the price were right for what I wanted to see.

Howard Plonchak

While it’s sure nice to have entertainment back, and my grandchildren and I loved Blippi the Musical last weekend, tonight’s Foreigner Tribute band was just too loud and the words indistinguishable. This has been true over the last many years with Tribute bands. I’m sad I had to leave early because of the quality of the sound. I don’t think I’d go back to this venue for another Tribute given the clear lack of testing and tuning.

December 18, 2021, was my first time attending a concert at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in NJ. I must say, I was very impressed with the BPAC's "Covid Protocols," I felt very safe & didn't mind wearing a mask during the concert. Their Security & Staff were very nice and helpful too. I was very happy that I chose the BPAC to see my first KennyG concert. Acoustically the theater is amazing! KennyG took a moment to say that the BPAC is a "live" theater and he really liked that. I'm at a loss for words! KennyG was stellar! I was entertained from start to finish; KennyG is prodigious, his virtuosity & musicality shine and left me speechless. I could hear people around me reacting and saying, "How does he do that, wow!" Kenny gave his audience 200% He performed on his soprano, alto and tenor saxophones. He engages with his audience and he is very funny with a great sense of humor too - he had us laughing. What can I say, his band, OMG, they are amazing! Kenny showcases his band members and the audience gets to see their musicanship. Ron Powell, (his percussionist) was a show stopper playing the congas and timbales. His band members are the best & entertaining to watch. In closing, I didn't want the concert to end - a testament to KennyG & his band was the long standing ovation & cheers the audience gave them!!

Dylan Scarzafava

Renovations really spruced the place up! New carpets, new bathrooms, new seats.

vera otero

Parking right outside venue, free after 6pm. Nice place, good security.

Minerva “MinnieLola” Fuentes

Check point was made 4 covid, they also had a rapid testing. The place was just like going 2 the cinema, a lil tight, but we had great seats near the stage.Staff was helpful 👏🏼👏🏼 …

E Crum

Great community performing arts center. There's not a bad seat in the house. There are occasional big name stars there. I highly recommend this venue. Tip: The seats in the balcony have much less leg room than the seats downstairs.

jack brown

Attended an oldies (late 50's-early 60's) concert here last night and the theatre was packed. Bergen PAC has these concerts here several times a year along with a variety of other cultural events. I usually go early to be able to park (free) close and to have dinner at one of the several excellent restaurants in the immediate neighborhood. The PAC theatre is old but has been beautifully restored inside over many years.The theatre staff are mostly volunteers and are very friendly. Always a pleasant evening.

Miriam Grazioso

Went to a RATT concert and they were great!

Billy Lazer

Nicest staff especially lady in Box office went to look where piano is so I could have the best views. Outstanding!

Audrey Jantzen

I really enjoy the different performers they have there. My only problem are their seats. They're too small, to low, and extremely uncomfortable. For a person who is handicapped it's very difficult to get in-and-out of their seats. They would do much better if they had a few folding chairs in the back for people to sit on rather than the seats. And maybe another area for wheelchairs. Right now I think they only have room for 2 wheelchairs.

Mel Hernandez

I love this place to watch Jerry Rivera perform his hits. His voice was so clear that you'd swear he's singing on your aisle. Great sound , great drinks easy to get to. Plenty of parking. Best place for a concert.

Al S. Brown

Great venue. Saw Herbie Hancock there, and the sound was great. Was on the far right of the theater, but still had an excellent view of the stage. One note: Google says they have onsite parking, but it is valet parking. If you want to save some money, check out the municipal parking deck on South Dean. It is an easy walk from the venue. The venue website mentions it and other parking options.

Rich Zumpano

I have seen several shows here over the years and never had a bad experience. The seats are uncomfortable and there is no leg room but the place is so small that almost every seat has a good view. The cash only bar is a little annoying too. I rarely carry more than twenty dollars so if I forget to hit the atm beforehand, I end up having to use the one they have and paying unneccessary fees.

aly rachel

The Bergen PAC is an intimate theater with two levels of seating. We secured seats in the third row of the mezzanine and our view of the stage was perfect. Parking is very easily accessible. While there are concessions are each level, offering cocktails an, there is only one set of restrooms on the first floor, which can lead to long lines. The theater was surprisingly warm on an evening in March and would have greatly benefitted from some air ventilation.

Lisa Padilla

Today at 4 P. M Me and my daughter Olivia went to see Cinderella Performance. Our first time to this Performing Arts Center. Everyone was Sooooooo nice. There was a lot of people there. The show was beautiful and the actors was amazing. We had such a great time. Can't wait to go back again.

isaias sanchez

Best place to see concerts

Irma Perez

I love this theater you get a good view from every where. Is clean and love the ushers they are all seniors. Parking is available, close to great restaurants in case tuhoy wasn't to get a bie before or after the performance they do not have good snacks for the intermission.

Monty Ross

Overall the venue gets a decent selection of acts, but its very hit & miss with a lot of B and C shows - more creativity needed on proactive booking vs. reactive taking shows that may need a venue - few shows for singles, teens, couples in the 20's-early 40's. Also, a renovation is badly needed - lobby, seating, bathrooms, decor and if possibly taking over space to widen

Lisa Joy

Great venue, easy to find, street parking. Bergen PAC is a quaint theatre, great acoustics, expensive drinks. Saw 2 old school bands there. Paid $40 a seat for nosebleed balcony seats and $20 for 2 drinks. Seats are comfortable, bathrooms clean, staff friendly. Worth booking your event here or seeing your show here. Clean and convenient. Would return, would recommend.

Miozotty Diaz

A fan of this venue because of its size, convenient location and free parking. Have attended many events here and love that no matter where you are sitting, you re able to have a clear view of the stage. Stress free access with plenty of parking spaces available and local dining options in Englewood.

Frances Amato

I very much enjoy the Bergenfield performing arts center. They have wonderful performances and events that they sponsor. We went there to see a bubble show which was wonderful. They also had the most amazing selection of art work around the building and it was beautiful. We had a good time there, seats are excellent and it was a great show.

yserbius Gandalf

Smallish venue (perhaps - 2000 capacity ) serves liquor, wine, soda, staff and security are very pleasant, sound seems to be good, and you can find ample free parking across the street. A nice place to see a show just a tad smaller than Radio City Music Hall or Westbury but has upper level seating like the beacon. Much better energy exchange between performers and audience than some arena.

Sally & Marvin Clark aka Eddie & Dorothy McMullen

Nice small venue with easy street parking and eats nearby. The seats remind me of flying coach though. Too narrow and tightly spaced. Definitely not original to this historic theatre.

Mark Byrnes

Cozy theatre that hosts top flight acts

Sam Farber

Saw Howie Mendel and with easy access, well courteously organized entry. Theater half full with distant seating. Safe.

Dana Caraballo

Just saw my first show at this theater. A very nice clean theater. The ushers were very helpful with showing me where my seats were. They have snacks and drinks available for purchase. The snack bar is cash only but they do have an atm available at the theater.

Joanne Cavera

Fun show, parking a bit of an issue

Michael Walker

Very good staff. Very helpful as we attended with elderly people. The staff was very helpful accommodating us with wheel chair and walker assistance. The venue is a classic old school theater with great sound.

Dawn Woodward

A nice theater with friendly staff and people. I reccomend seeing a show there. It was a wonderful experience and in a safe atmosphere.

Ronit Jacobs

The actual theater is quite dated, but the acts that come are fantastic, so who cares! Also the staff and volunteers are very nice and helpful. Saw so many legends like America, Pat Benatar, Tommy Emmanuel, Air Supply and more! Englewood has great restaurants too and there's plenty of parking around. Good times.

T AA

Was here yesterday to see the Temptations and the Four Tops. I enjoyed the show although I felt the show was somewhat skimpy. By that I mean the bands could have sung more songs I felt the show was a bit watered down. Despite that I ENJOYED seeing Ottis Williams in person perform as he is an original of the Temptations band and enjoyed the four tops. Both are legendary bands. The theatre itself was ok except the seats are a bit tight. They have a liquor bar and I believe it's cash only. The crowd for this show was a more elderly crowd. The theatre was clean and bathrooms were clean. There is a parking garage nearby where I believe you can park for free after 6pm. The theatre itself hosts some well known good music artists from the past.

Al Bracco

Great place to see a show. Plenty of restaurants within a few block radius.

Darrin H.

This would be an excellent place to see a show, but it needs two improvements. First, the house sound system is mediocre at best. I've been to 2 rock shows this month, and was disappointed both times by the sound quality. Vocals were fine, but both shows you could hardly hear the drums. Bass was poor too. One band I had seen at the Beacon theater 2 months earlier, and the sound was 100x better. The 2nd problem are the bathrooms. There is only 1 tiny bathroom for men and women (1 each) on the first floor. The men's has 2 or 3 urinals. That's it. The line was backed up to the bar. seriously? I'll probably go to another show at Bergen PAC, but hopefully they improve the place.

Dr. DP Banks

Descent size stage, moderately sized auditorium. Tide sitting in the Platinum seating area be prepared to look up, slightly, at the stage. Those with neck problems should avoid sitting that close. Rear orchestra is good. I sat in the Platinum area, 3 rows from the stage. By the end of the performance my neck was soar. Great seats thou. I was able to view the entire stage as well as their facial expressions. We saw Cirque Ziva. It was a great show. Made me feel like I was in China. The cast is very talented and very acrobatic. Definitely a must see.

MaryLynn Milazzo

This venue is perfectly placed. It packs in The Best Top Headliner Entertainment, like The Original Rock Bands 3 Dog Night, The Beach Boys and America, without having to "Ventura out onto that Highway" It's right here in our own back yard !

Bryan Arias

Watched stand up comedian Bill Burr here. Non stop laughs thanks to him. The venue's parking can be a bit confusing. But if you read the signs and get there early you can get free parking about a 10 second walk from the entrance lol. Pretty theater, ushers got us in quickly.

Thomas Begoss

Won ticket's from radio station. Got free parking because it was Christmas. Otherwise you have to pay to park. Nice place good show right next door to an Irish pub. Ate there before the show. Great day.

Kathy Albano

Concerts at the Bergen Pac are a great experience. Not a bad seat in the house. The variety of acts they book is amazing, you should be able to find something that interests you. Seat prices on average are terrific, shows start on time, there's a full bar in the lobby if you choose to partake in a beverage and it's centrally located with plenty of restaurant choices for before or after a show.

Robert Hughes

Great local venue! Chicago was fabulous!

Warren Shapiro

My first time there: nice space nothing to see from an architectural viewpoint. It ain’t Radio City. Seats are not raked enough. It’s the act not the theater. An easy trip from Manhattan is a plus.

geoff steck

Decades ago I knew John Harms when he was alive and, nearly single-handedly, trying to save this physical space. It has a great history and acoustics and there are really superior seats a couple rows back mid balcony. However -- it's getting really shopworn since it finally became fully renovated. Go. See what you will. Enjoy the performance. Just keep your aesthetic expectations in check.

Jeffrey Latko

Great place to see a show!

Paul Siegel

New and improved sound system that makes it much better than years ago. They are definitely getting better / very good acts, but the theatre still feels a bit tired. Why they don't update the seats and painting is anyone's guess, especially given the $$ demographics in the surrounding towns.

Deborah Bizien

Great visit to our annual Christmas show "Christmas Carol "...wonderful time

J Y

Such a jewel for Bergen county. More and more popular performances have chosen to visit here. Large selection of kids-friendly shows too. Highly recommended to check it out regularly for upcoming shows. If you buy tickets at the office, there is no processing fee.

michele Stroem

Love the Bergen Pac. Get to see great performers in an intimate setting. Great restaurants nearby. A great date night.

Alfred Bell

Not a bad seat in the place. Good acoustics, good shows.

Helen Vopasek

I enjoyed the show, The Nutcracker, but parking for handicapped here is almost nonexistent. There were 2 handicapped parking spaces-one in front on the street, and the other is 2 blocks away. Unacceptable! I will probably not be attending too many shows here.

DIY TWOinCollege

Saw Lewis Black' s show. Great show! Laughed the whole time. The seats however had very little leg room. I was in the mezzanine and the lower rows in each section are very compressed.

Emily MacIntosh

We went for the American Girls Live show (which was great btw!). The theater was beautiful and the staff helpful. Parking can be tricky, give yourself extra time.

Doug Cruickshank

Good venue. Was able to park in the street nearby although the big parking lots were full. Not as nice as South Orange or NJPAC, but it does the job. The little piano bar is cool.

Armando

Went here on St Patricks day to see the grand comedian Lewis Black. I'd never been to BPAC, but I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. rustic yet luxurious, with felt lined seats and red carpets, it felt very la-di-da. the drinks offered on the second floor were convenient. Great venue, my only regret is not getting tickets to see John Mulaney and Pete Davidson before they sold out!

CJP3759

I like the place. It has parking, stores and restaurant near and it’s not that big. I’ve been in 2 salsa concert and the audio is bad. I don’t know if the theater owns the speakers/amplifiers or that’s on the artist but that’s the only bad thing I can say. 👍🏻 …

Mykl Qullen

A little dated. They should invest in some upgrades. I've seen a lot of shows here, the staff are great. Always fun.

Eduardo Ramirez

Nice small theatre nor far away from NYC. Lots of great artists perform here to avoid New York prices. And a short bus/car ride is worth the trip.

Matt Zagacki

Great small intimate venue, plenty of free parking right across the street ive seen 2 shows here definitely will be back again, easy to get to, some staff could be a little friendlier, rushing people out immediately after the show.

Richard Agro

Awesome place to see a concert , you have to show a vaccination card and ID before entering but it goes fast.

Alberta Hughes

We had a good experience at ASAH's Voices in Harmony by The Performing Arts School at the Bergen PAC. This program was excellent, and we enjoyed it. I was amazed at the children's talents from the many private special education schools. I hope to attend this event each year forward. Special thanks to everyone involved in making this event a success. BRAVO!

Lori Schoen

Seats are all good. Shows are wonderful. Always a fun night out;

Joanne McLellan

It was extremely well run Checked for covid vaccine and photo Identification, temperature checks. There were 3 lines so no crowds Excellent job, Englewood pac

sharon richnelli

First time at this venue and loved it. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The seating was great. Highly recommend attending shows at this venue.

ricky dean

I always enjoyed the performances here... it's local and small enough to get a good seat anywhere.

Maria Diaz

Great local venue! I have seen several shows here and love it. Staff is always 5 stars with us.

Joe Minuti

It's a small venue so all seats are good, parking is free after 6pm on the street and in the municipal lot across the street, there are lots of places to eat at within a block.

Kathleen Waite

We had a great time at the Bergen County Performing Arts Center. We saw Vic DiBenedetto do his comedy act. We also walked around the area which has charming shops and fine dining restaurants.

Alan Silverman

Great venue for concerts.

Tom Studer

Love this place! Great older theater that was redone. Sound is always good and there are some good choices for dinner within walking distance of the theater.

justin gianino

I really like this venue, the ticket prices are reasonable and everybody is helpful there incase you cant find your seats. Just be careful driving cause some of the streets are one way. Being in Englewood is like being in ridgewood

harry crowley

Saw Kevin James who was good. Paid premium for 2nd row.. Seats were very uncomfortable.

Dawn McPartland

Great venue to see a show. Always enjoy this theater and they are really stepping up their game with some top notch performers.

Thedorea Hamilton

Great place. And employees helpfull. Matter of fact tickets saleswoman recommended virus next door and I'm so glad she did. Wish I could remember her name. Kudos to her

Victoria Hallbauer

Had a good experience. Bathrooms were being cleaned continuously. Masks and proof of vaccine required.

Tim Mccarthy

What an amazing Chicago concert tonight at Bergan PAC! They put on a 2 1/2 hour concert with all their famous hits! The venue acoustics and sound system was great as usual! Bergan PAC is our favorite place for a special night out! Keep the bands coming!

Scott Garapolo

Great theater and wonderful programming for all. We do a lot of kids shows but there is something for everyone. Easy parking too!

Linda Vela

We saw Eaglemania which is one of our favorite groups and Tusk which is the other. Seating is great ware ever you sit you have a good view. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Artie “Artie Cheez” Mohr

Great place to see a show. Saw comedian Jim Breuer. Show was phenomenal. One of the best clean comedians out there. He has a residency there. Go check him out.

Tylow Lowman

Theater was good. Boyz to Men was great. Drinks were pretty good also

Barbara Ann Stock

Great venue for all types of shows from rock, comedy to The Nutcracker. Comfortable seating and old theatre atmosphere. Parking only negative.

Jessica Lynn

Great acts play here, but small seats and horrible parking. We couldn't park by the train station anymore. Not sure why?? It was pooring too. Needs improving.

Tngiz

Great center to watch a show. Seats are a little snug for a 6'3 guy though. Englewood is a great town to catch some dinner before or after

Esther Castillo-Rodriguez

The Martin Luther King Jr. play was DIVINE I went with my son's 3rd grade class field trip and I was so mesmerized and moved I forgot where and with who I was because I felt as if I was there. Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!

I prefer to buy tickets from the box office at BPAC or any venue. I feel much more at ease and am quicker to buy any tickets. I can easily take a ride to box office and use cash because I don't use credit cards and miss many events. I can speak for my friends and family too, who also miss many events due to no credit card and would prefer to buy tickets with cash. I am giving BPAC a 5 star last show was Michael Schenker, hope you can change ticket purchase policy and allow me to buy from your box office. Thank you.

Decent little local venue. Lots of restaurants within walking distance. Great seats at great prices are always available on Groupon.

S Valera

Neil Berg's 104 Years of Broadway show at the Bergen PAC today was absolutely entertaining, the music, the performers are the best👌👍. I love it🤗🤗🤗 …

Julie Lee

It's a great local theater to go. It has good variety of shows. It's has good restaurants near by that you can get a meal before the show.

Andre Floyd

Venue is a nice size. Still has some issues with audio - be careful where you sit. Orchestra under the balcony has very odd sound.

Bartosz Klemensowski

I have been here 3 times now and each time it was for a show or performance for kids. Its got this old school charm to it. The balcony looks like its from the Muppets.

Tigran Tarbiyan

I was in Bergen Performing Art Center at Yanni concert on 11 July, 2016. It was wonderful place to participate in concerts or other art shows. They have many interesting programs, and I will visit there again and again. P.S. Yanni concert was amazing.

Leigh Lehman

Great venue for concerts and plays. Bergen PAC is subscriber and volunteer supported. They provide a school for the arts and support local theater, music and arts.

kim robinson

I always loved this place even when it was a movie theater the stage is very large and every seat is a great seat.

Jack Hernandez

Great place except they still make you wear a mask even if vaccinated.

Luz Castillo

I took my granddaughter to see the Nutcracker and she love it .Wonderful experience and created great memories with her

James McGarry

Nice places to see a performance and I'd likely have given it full stars if I'd never been to NJ PAC in Newark, which is outstanding and a hard act to follow.

Jugs n Speed

I was here a couple months back to see a queen impersonator(Freddie mercury) hey this was a pretty good job,I was pleasantly surprised being Im a harsh critic of people who try,also Bergen pac itself is an older place,but I liked it,it was very clean ,didn't smell and all of the workers from the bar ,concessions and the guards were all very nice,if I get a chance to go back,it's a definite,I really enjoyed it,the whole area is nice if you want to get there early to go eat,shop and enjoy the show

Viktar Pranevich

Kenny G was awesome! The place itself needs some renovation. Building needs Facilities Team

Mary Lyne

Hidden gem. Great sound. Free parking on the street in the evening. Saw the "Wizards of Winter" Christmas show here in December.

Johnathan Bartee

If you are reading this-go here! Enjoy the local festivities and home like feel. If you have the ability-donate to the performing arts. The beautiful atmosphere is incomparable.
