We saw the "All You Need is Love" Beatles Ballet and it was wonderful! My friend took her 7 year old goddaughter and I took my 10 year old and they loved it!
the only thing was that the first half was not the "Beatles" inspired show, I actually don't know what it was but it was a bit boring in comparison with what we expected and got in the second half.

The Hult Center is a beautiful building in the downtown area of Eugene. There are so many activities to get involved with here, concerts, plays, pretty much everything you can imagine! There are 2 parking garages. All in these 2 areas the parking is $6.00, if you have a disability plackard its free to park or if your lucky you can find a place on the street nearby to park for free!! This place has a nice feel to it. The staff are so friendly, as soon as you walk through the door you get a warm fuzzy welcoming feeling. The lobby is beautiful. lots of interesting stuff to look at. It is the biggest venue in Eugene Oregon. The bathrooms are immaculate and the places where the programs are felt very roomy. No matter where you sit you have a nice view!! The chairs are comfy and cushy. The design and deco of the Hult Center is beautiful. Its a beautiful place to attend a show. It has a nice cozy feel. Either dressed up or even casual I didn't get that uppity feel. The ticket office is right inside the building which makes it convenient. They have a great sound system!! I just want to add one important fact. My husband has hearing aides and he couldve took his hearing aides in to his doctor and they could have programmed it to the Hult Center and he wouldve been able to hear much better. Its true the parking is dreadful but a person can just take their time and not be in such a hurry it gets easier to get in and out of the lot!! It is the Christmas season and all the Christmas trees and lights are so beautiful!! The prices are average here !! I Love it!!

This was a great place to see one of our favorite bands. It was the Punch Brothers and we got to see them at the Bach Festival. I enjoyed the concert and the wonderful seats and the awesome interior of this place.

We have seen both comedians and musicians here and the sound is great. We'll be back in May to see Black Violin again.

The Hult Center is magnificently decorated and has great acoustics. Every seat is a good seat. A live production at the Hult is an awesome experience.

Hult Center For Performing Arts in Eugene is a fabulous theatrical venue; sleek, modern design and state of the art in every way. Just a few blocks walk to all kinds of great places to eat and shop. Downtown Eugene is filled with unique shops. If you love to shop resale, downtown Eugene is your kind of place. We dined at Eugene Electric which offers free parking and allows theatre patrons to leave their car in their lot and walk the 2 blocks or so to the theatre.

I belong to the volunteer group at the Hult. We assist the ushers, guide children for concerts. teach bus safety to children and various other jobs. Both concert halls are spacious, beautifully designed and comfortable. The decor describes the flavor of Oregon and is worth seeing. Concerts vary from classical to pop with many shows in between. Fun place.

No matter how small or big the choirs the sound is amazing here! We were seated midway the different levels of stands, the view is spectacular and we could hear the singers really well...

Really enjoyed the Jeff Dunham show. The venue is great for this type of performance. Even though the theatre was full, seating was comfortable, and there was a large screen tv above the stage to provide better viewing. Also, very impressed by the way the staff helped with a quick and smooth exit from the venue. Will definately come back to another show.

In the past, I have parked over in the Columbia Bank parking lot for shows at the Hult. Is this still okay, or will they have me towed?

We used their parking garage and because we have handicap parking, we straight to the 3rd level where the handicap parking is directly across from the elevator. No fuss no muss, easy a can be. People were polite about letting out. We are just not able to walk that " short" distance anymore.

The parking garage adjacent to the Hult Center off Olive Street is available for $6 event parking. Street parking in downtown Eugene is often free after 6pm, just give yourself enough time to search.
