Reviews of West Valley Performing Arts Center

Keaton Hannen

Fantastic performance! I saw Little Shop of Horrors. The whole show was amazing, and the puppetry blew me away. Some true characters were on stage, and the lighting just made them even more expressive. There were some really tough harmonies and the timing for some of those songs is really hard to pull off, especially while dancing, but everyone nailed it! Not to mention the quick changes. As for the space itself, it was clean and no more crowded than the average movie theatre (more comfortable seating, too). Everyone is friendly and professional, and appears to genuinely enjoy what they do. Great snacks were sold at fair prices, the art gallery is a must-see, and there is a beautiful little garden outside that deserves mentioning.

This little theater is everything you are not expecting. Great parking , accommodating attendant’s, and a well placed Art Gallery on the main level. Theaters are upstairs and in the round. Intimate and well planned stage. I enjoyed the play. Our front row seats were perfect the sound quality was on point. This was my first experience here, but I will be back.

Karen Johnson

Recently saw the play “Clue” which had many funny scenes and unexpected twists. Enjoyed the around-the-stage seating layout. Great venue for the play.

Michelle Degeus

Great shows with awesome talent! We have had season tickets for a few years now and every year, the talent gets better! Must see for all!

Linnea Torriente

What a cute find this place was. Nice on the inside, and a fun community feel with the circular layout. We went here to see Clue and we’re laughing until we cried. We’ll keep our eyes open for more shows to come to in the future.

BreAnn Shulsen

We enjoyed our time at the West Valley Performing Arts! Can't wait to see future shows here.

Tamilisa Miner

It was so great to participate in a production at this theatre. The backstage area is nice and accommodating. The foyer is beautiful. I hope "Star of Wonder" gets brought back every Christmastime! It is a fun musical that tells the stories behind many of the Christmas carols, the most touching being Silent Night. Wonderful facilities, wonderful writer/director (James Conlee), wonderful Christmas spirit. I'm so glad this theatre is here for the community!

Jenny Pedersen

Little shop of horrors was amazing!! The characters were so well cast. I seriously loved this:) it was so much fun and so well done!

Kwan Ding

Had a fun night watching Clue! Great performances from the actors and actresses!

Eric Jelte

We saw "In the Heights" here a week ago, and I was quite impressed. They took great ingredients (Lin-Manuel Miranda's score) and just executed it very, very well. The vocals, acting, and dance were all wonderful, and I appreciated that they kept the props and gimmicks to a minimum.

Tara J

Every. Single. Show I have seen has been ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE here. I’m blown away by the talent, the music, the professionalism…. This theatre has put on just as good or BETTER shows in my opinion than other theaters around. Trust me you will not be disappointed!

Vincent Natividad

During these days of sheltering in place one can easily suffer from cabin fever. It's delightful to know the arts are still alive in this community theater. They practice safe covid-19 rules and maintain social distancing. The artists gave a wonderful performance. I recommend taking advantage of these treasures during the season.

Becky Poulson

Wonderful theater! Saw Little Women the Musical, and it was my favorite version of Little Women that I have ever seen! The actors were very talented, the sound quality was excellent, and there isn't a bad seat!

Melissa Purcell

I just came to watch Little Shop of Horrors today, and I had so much fun! I'm glad to have such a great theater in West Valley.

ufxjimbo Montgomery

This is a great place to enjoy the theater!!, Love the atmosphere!! Season tickets are the way to go! If it works for you!

Todd H Powers

Went to Beauty and the Beast! It was a great performance. Seating was right for me, especially my legroom. But that is to be expected with a smaller theater in the round. Plus that's what was great about the play, you felt like you were part of the play!

Julia McMillan

Little women was an incredible show!! The theatre is so intimate, I could see the whites of the performer's eyes. I'm definitely going to come back!!

Silvyr Dragøn

When my husband and I got tickets to Sweeney Todd, I was expecting a little rink a dink community show. I was wrong What I went to was one of the best productions I have ever seen. It’s was simply astounding. It was also nostalgic since the theater is housed in the old Hale building. I saw my very first musical there.

Kristina Boler

West Valley Arts puts on wonderful productions. The talent is amazing. The quality of the show is top notch. I appreciate the diversity of their casts. They cast off of talent, not looks and skin color. The theater puts on shows that not everyone else is doing. The ticket price is super affordable. Go out and support this great organization.

Jayson Alexander

Very enjoyable plays and performances! I'm always impressed with the talent and shows that are put on here.

Rachel Pace

I've been to this theater before when it was Hale and it is still just as exquisite. The stage is circular in the middle so the "worst" seats would be behind the entrance points on the stage, but you can see and hear well from every seat in the arena. Being so close to the actors really takes you into the story. The theater is very clean. The seats are comfortable. They make their guests feel extremely safe with covid-19 precautions. Masks are required, temperature screening is at the entrance, and spaced seating throughout the arena. I have no complaints. The production of Arsenic and Old Lace was delightful and I will happily become a regular patron here.

Camerin Russell

Saw Sweeny Todd tonight. I have never been to the West Valley Performing Arts Center. It was wonderful! The play was amazing, the staff was super friendly, the stage and seating was great. I love the Theater and look forward to attending again!

Justin Cook

Well appointed theater in the round. Often these avenues can get too hot or cold because of the arrangement. Instead it was comfortable throughout the performance. Sound was not a problem either. Honestly, one of the best small theaters I've attended.

Zachary Bowman

Absolutely love the shows we have seen here so far. The cast is very professional and the theatre feels so inviting. We will certainly be attending regularly.

kathryn Williams

I was blown away by the professionalism and high quality of Ain't Misbehavin'. It was the first show I had seen here since Hale Theater owned it. It will certainly not be the last! I'm looking forward to seeing every production in the future. The price is unbelievable for this quality Theater! Give yourself a great night of entertainment excellence!

Leigh Salinas

Best performing arts venue! Small but they always cast perfectly and their staging and props are so good. Must visit and see a show!

Karlee

Saw Sweeney Todd with my husband and it was the best musical we've ever seen. Everyone was incredibly talented and the theatre layout makes you feel immersed in performance. Can't wait to see more musicals here!

Elizabeth Weight

I love theater in this space! West Valley Performing Arts is focusing on story, characters, and a quality experience for the audiences. Thank you!

Jordan Blain

My mom and I went to see In The Heights. We were both in wheelchairs, I did transfer out. But the staff were super friendly and accommodating to our needs

Benjamin Noffsinger

We were so disappointed to have Hale Center move out of this building, so it was with a little trepidation that we returned to see a production of She Loves Me tonight. We loved it. Quality direction, quality acting. We'll be back for more. And if you are taking this during Covid-19 -- the spacing of the audience, the masks, and the lack of intermission snacks made us feel safe, if a bit sad.

Jaymon McDevitt

I just saw Sweeney Todd and I was blown away by the level of talent and the quality of the performance. It was incredible to say the least. I can’t believe this is the first show I’ve seen here. I can’t wait to return for future shows!

Codi Brown

We came for a showing of Ain't Misbehavin', which a friend was performing in. Upon entering they have tablets that take your temperature immediately and masks are required. My friend also indicated that before each show they take great care to clean every row and seat. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating of my broken leg at the time as well. I will absolutely be coming back for future performances!

Matt Taylor

Harmon is a hidden gem in West Valley. Most people do not realize that the previous Hale Center Theater still exists and has been updated to the West Valley Performing Arts, or Harmon Theater as it has also been known. Come see the same high quality that was known for years on this stage!

Aurielle Jennings

Went and saw Arsenic and Old Lace. Amazing play! Amazing cast! They have handled the restrictions due to Covid very well. Felt super comfortable the entire play. Awesome family entertainment, does have restrictions on age of child. Must be 5 or above.

Jeri King

Footloose was so fun. I wondered how a play version of this would work, and it was Awesome. Thanks for a fun night of remembering the 80s and being a teen

Christian Lenhart

We saw 'In The Heights' and were blown away by the talent on display. We'll definitely be coming back to see their other shows.

Thomas Boynton

We were so happy to see a GREAT show (Forever Plaid) at this local theater. The concessions were extremely reasonably priced and the staff and volunteers were helpful and kind. Of course, we came here when it was Hale, but are happy to support and visit again as part of the city and community!

Ann Bracken

We saw Arsenic and Old Lace, and it was wonderful! If you can, go see it. If COVID-19 is holding you back, and you miss the theater, go to Harman. They do a fantastic job of social distancing between patrons. You'll be very safe, and remember how wonderful seeing live theater is again.

Jackie Foote

Went see " "Little Women " . Awesome performance. Comfortable climate control. Recommend you make your pleasant memories here!

Quort Staker

Watched "The Beauty And The Beast" show was well done! Seats were comfortable and staff was helpful with locating seats for guests

Cherise Vincent

I took my grand-daughters to see Little Women. They were entranced the entire show. Great show and great performance!

Dana Bambo

The theater and whole experience in seeing the production of Sweeny Todd was quite a memorable. The cast was mesmorizing and the center theater feel was captivating!

David Smith

Little shop of horrors was amazing. So much fun.

Coach Frits

The theater is small enough that nearly all seats are great. This weekend's performance of Footloose was fantastic. Better than the movie.

Lance Chapman

So glad theater is back in West Valley!!! Sorry they had to start up during the Covid pandemic but they have done a great job trying to operate and keep people as safe as they can. The local talent we have in Utah is fantastic!!!

Jordan Giese

Welcoming staff, great seating and amazingly cheap refreshments.

Tami

The theater was great, the actors were good, the play was definitely not a favorite. I won't be seeing that play again simply because of the story line.

Gordon Storrs

We experienced a wonderfully staged and acted musical theater production of "Gold Mountain" in a well appointed facility.

Shanna Watkins

Amazing place...a hidden jem

barbara sosa

The theater was very nice. I had never been to a theater in the round before but it was pretty cool! The whole cast was awesome! I loved the slow-mo scenes and the transitions "running from room to room." I didn't expect the play to be funny but it was hilarious! The recap the butler did was amazing! I don't know how he went so fast and kept everything straight! Lol. Here's some photos of preplay fun...There was a photo backdrop for guests to pretend they were the murderers...

Eric Gourley

I highly recommend going to the performances here. There are good performers, entertaining shows, & a nice theater for a great price. I was impressed!

Greta Lords

The building is beautiful and both plays I’ve attended had amazing decorations in the side lobby perfect for a photo-ops to capture a fun memory. The theater is very cozy and intimate. The actors are so engaging you feel like you are right in the middle of the action. This theater in the round is a very immersive and interesting experience.

Patchwork Quilting

This was a fantastic alternative to an evening out. We thoroughly enjoyed the play.

Peg Hulme McClanahan

I used to attend Hale shows at this theatre and I went back for the first time last night to see Clue. I wasn’t sure how the quality of show/actors would compare but it was a fabulous show. I love the theatre in the round and the clever staging and sets. I love that it’s easy to get to and the tickets are reasonably priced for such a great production! I will definitely be back! Im not sure if it happens with every show (I hope so!) but there was an art gallery with artists’ work relating to Clue and props with the 6 murder weapons for photo ops. What a fun idea! I was disappointed that there were many empty seats and hope that will change as word gets out about the quality of theatre art!
