The Bushnell Performing Arts Center

We are fortunate to have the Bushnell in Hartford and to have access to Broadway shows locally. I have been to numerous shows here, all worth seeing. You do need to arrive early to get easy parking and easy departure, and it is worth splurging for good seats. The acoustics can be challenging for some shows. Frozen was well done, with some amazing voices and good songs and Olaf the snowman!

Beautiful historic theater, ushers were very nice and friendly, free parking was a breeze right across the street. The venue was the cherry on top making the performance even more enjoyable. If you want balcony seats, I would recommend sitting in the lower rows (but not the first row) as they are much better viewing than the top seats.

One of the premier performing arts theater in CT. The best Broadway Shows come to this theater. There is literally no bad seat in the house. The theater is beautiful and the seats are very comfortable, you don’t feel like you are on top of anyone. We have seen several shows here and have never been disappointed.
