This theater is so beautiful. The box seats aren't very comfortable for tall people (very little leg room). Had to stretch during intermission. But the production was spectacular! Thoroughly enjoyed my evening at the Wortham.

Very nice venue. Be prepared for some walking from the garage and signage directing you to your particular event could be much better.

Beautiful as always. Loved the Nutcracker. If you want to get a glass or two of wine in come early. Plenty of good places outside the theater to grab a place to sit with your beverage. Also, lots of places for a photo opp. Green room was my favorite.

We attended the Houston Ballet’s performance of The Nutcracker at the Wortham Center the week before Christmas. While we’ve been longtime attendees, this was our first visit in several years. The performance was beautiful, and the Wortham Center remains the perfect venue to experience such a magical production!

We had so much fun in our family tradition of taking our girls to the Nutcracker. We had an awesome experience!

Went there for Nutcracker opening night. It was my first time here and it is a very elegant venue. It shows that it is taken good care of. Loved the performance. Hope to be back by another wonderful performance by the Houston ballet!
