Knight Theater

I really enjoy this theater. We went and saw STOMP and it was a blast. The staff was very helpful and everything moved quickly. The only short coming was that the theater looked like it probably needed some updating and wasn’t anything special once you got to your seat.

There’s not a bad seat in this theater. I’ve been to this theater several times for different shows. I’ve sat in the balcony, orchestra sections, in the far rear, all over and every seat has been a good seat.
I also like how they have Wi-​Fi so you can post to social media about your show experience since you don’t get good cell reception in the theater.

Came here to see Little Mermaid Ballet.
Parking was easy to to find and park. Just parked in the garage next door and walked straight to the theater. We were greeted and guided to our seats. We were on the lower level more towards the right side. Overall, it was a good seat. Chairs are very small! Other than that, I have no complaints.

Attended the Stanley Clarke concert here. The concert was amazing! I’ve never been to this venue before. It was nice and clean. The employees were all so nice and courteous. The only complaint I have is that the seats on the main floor were SO close together. They also seemed so narrow and uncomfortable. Other than that, I’d attend again but maybe choose seats on the side as they were not attached to each other.

We went to the Bön qui qui show. It was great but this review is about the theatre. We parked in a parking garage and only paid $ 6 for parking.
As soon as we walked in there were ushers asking everyone if they needed help and guiding just about every person.
We were VIP and I have to say besides front row seats and meet and greet there was nothing more. No nice seats or drinks. They did have about 6 mobile bar thingies where you could buy liquor. That’s cool.
Staff was extremely friendly, organized and professional.
The stage is a decent size, great lighting and big screen.
Definitely recommend.

I have enjoyed going to the Knight Theater for Jazz and other concerts. It is a great venue. The acoustics are awesome. The seating is very good if when reserved early. I have not sat in the balcony but with the sellouts that occur, I assume it is comfortable with great views of the performances. The host staff is very supportive in helping to locate the seats. At my last visit, someone had inadvertently sat in my seats. The host quietly directed them to the correct seats.
I look forward to shows and concerts at the Knight Theater. Parking also is very conveniently located within 100 yards of the theater entry. Which is great, even for the $ 5. expense. Looking forward to many other great concert visits there this year… and beyond.

I’m a fan. I love small theaters that can offer spacious seats and great acoustics!
When we arrived the staff was very friendly, we were promptly greeted and pointed in the right direction of our seats. Inside the theater was lovely, it was absolutely the perfect venue for a reunion concert.
If there’s another event going on here, count me in!

We attended a Charlotte Ballet performance (Contemporary Fusion) at the Knight Theater. The theater was a great venue. I’m particularly sensitive to noisy audiences, so I picked a couple of seats in the balcony on the side «Grand Tier Box». There’s just one row of seats, so less annoying noises! If you do sit in that row on the side, try to get seats as far to the back as possible, the ones at the very front on the side make it tough to see the whole stage.
There was a bar right near the door to the grand tier level with very quick service. Drinks seem reasonably priced, although regular liquor drinks were about $ 9, a beer and a soda was $ 6.
We’ve been to ballet performances in a few cities in the area, and this is the first one we actually said we’d return to.

Was here for a concert. This is a small theater and good size I might add.
Street parking is hard to locate in the vicinity. There is a indoor parking lot across the street for $ 5.
Ordered tickets online and the staff was great with assisting us with seat selection. They sent an email confirmation and provide confirmation on the phone as well.
Picking up the tickets was so easy. As you walk into the Knight Theater on left hand side is the Will Call for picking up tickets. They charge like close to $ 10 with the fees and taxes whether you order online or via the phone.
Acoustics wide– You can hear without any issues. We were located right in the center in the Orchestra area. My friends, who purchased tickets up in the Mezzanine said that the acoustic was not that great.

Nice venue! Not too big, not too small. Just right! Our first and only experience here (so far) was to see the Illusionists in January 2015. Great show, with good sound and sight. Public areas certainly get very crowded at intermission, but the bathroom wasn’t a bad wait.

I’ve been to several events at the Knight Theater, ranging from comedy shows to a ballet & I’ve always had a positive experience. I attended Bachtoberfest at the Knight this past Friday, and even though we arrived late and had to sit in the nosebleed section, we were able to see and hear the show perfectly. The Knight Theater hits the sweet spot between being to big and too small!
I had a blast at Bachtoberfest & highly recommend you attending this event next year. Charlotte is lucky to have such a talented symphony, and combining great classical music with local NC beer was quite the successful pairing!

A nice venue with overly zealous ushers running up and down the aisles every time someone discretely took a picture with their cellphone, no flashes, not disturbing a soul. Train your ushers better. Our concert experience was interrupted numerous times by ushers accosting people nearby who weren’t bothering anyone.

I appreciate the small-​quaint environment of Knight Theater in uptown Charlotte. We’ve seen everything from BB-​King to various musicals here and it’s always a delight. It’s nicely maintained and has a classic feel. If you notice, the archway/​area above the stage has a pineapple — which in the south is the universal symbol for «Guests Welcome.» We always feel welcomed here. While there are good and great seats, there are no ‘bad’ seats here. Overall, we continue to enjoy the services and shows at Knight Theater. Go for drinks beforehand at a nearby restaurant, do a show then visit Capital Grill, E2 or Ruth’s nearby. There really is something for everyone (and I’ll note, you can go dressy or even casual. Everyone is treated equally.)

Great venue with lots of great seating options.
I recently saw a ballet here and I was very impressed with the venue. I love the first row center on the grand tier balcony or the orchestra center, but the box seats on the grand tier are good too.
If you are going to a show here, check out the list of restaurants that have special menus for those who are going to see a show:
There are enough bars to serve everyone before and during intermission. Great location too right in the heart of Uptown — so there are lots of options for dinner before or after the show.

A very good small theater. Rows aren’t too small to be comfortable, hall isn’t so big that you can’t see the stage well from the back/​top. They have a few bars outside during performances that sell food and drinks, but prices are high. Lots of ushers around in case you need help finding your seat. Clean bathrooms!
Major glitch: they give you a free parking voucher only after you enter and pick up your tickets at will call … meaning, after you’ve already paid for parking in the designated lot. There seems to be a disconnect involved here. I tried calling to work it out in advance, and their customer service wasn’t great. I was promised some things that weren’t delivered, and that left me cranky. I also had a super long wait just to reach a representative, and it was really difficult to hear them on the phone. So if you don’t have to call their customer service, you’ll probably like this place. But if you have to call their box office for any reason, good luck.

Went here last night for Cinderella. Well, in the spirit of keeping things positive… Knight Theater was a really good venue — the show… well, I really enjoyed the theater.
Spacious seats and this appears to be a very new auditorium. I’ve been in CLT for a little under a year and besides TWC and Amos’s I haven’t been to any other concert type venues. Shame on me. Well Knight Theater was lovely and if all the auditoriums in Charlotte are like this I’ll be a happy camper here.
I’m knocking off a star b/​c of the insane rules. I mean we stood in a long ass line during intermission for snacks and drinks. Finally got our much needed snacks and were making it back to our seats when one of the ushers stopped us to tell us that our beverages were fine, but we couldn’t take our candy back into the theater. What kinda messed up sense does that make? Seriously now? Either allow it all back in the auditorium or don’t sell it. Jeez. I mean say I spill an M&M on the floor… that’s worse than say a WHOLE CUP OF SODA/​WINE/​BEER? Whatevs.

Though not always mentioned amongst the other theaters (see the Belk theater, for instance), perhaps because it’s down at the other end of Tryon, the Knight is quite impressive indeed. With some nice-​looking wood (or faux-​wood, but it looks like wood from below) interior, it’s modern and homey at the same time.
Also, acoustics work well and there isn’t a bad seat in the house — it helps when you’re on the small side, which is one of the bad things about the Belk, since it’s just so large. Not large like a stadium, but it can be too big for some shows. The Knight gets it just right to make everyone feel like they’re on the inside.
Plus, you get in the artsy district of the museums, and there are some quite decent restaurants just outside. The only area that could use a touch of work would be the lobby. It’s not bad, exactly, it just doesn’t match up with the interior.

Alton Brown! My wife and I are big fans of his Good Eats show and when he came to town with a show as part of the North Carolina Science Festival, we absolutely got tickets. And we splurged and got the best ones that were available — third row center. And we also upgraded to the «meet and greet» which included photos and autographs. Awesome.
Oh, yeah. The Knight Theater. Large enough that it’s a big crowd, but small enough that it’s an intimate setting. Excellent acoustics — I know that the folks up in the balcony could hear him just fine because there was a good amount of Q&A at the end.
The lobby and the other non-​theater parts of the facility are very nicely appointed and quite comfortable. Maybe some more seating would be nice for those of us that like to arrive after the outer doors open but before the inner doors open. Slowest elevator in the world.
I’d really recommend the Knight. Very nice theater, very comfortable. Excellent!

Huge fan already!
My bride and I accompanied family to see Straight No Chaser a week ago and were thrilled with the venue. We love live music and Charlotte is proving to be a great place for relevant artists. We were lucky to get excellent seats for the show and love the set up of the venue. It was extremely clean, staff was kind and helpful, and we were able to get in and out with ease.
I look forward to seeing future shows!
*A tip, it’s only a couple blocks from the Blue line train so extremely convenient!

The Knight Theater is a beautiful new theater Uptown. It’s surrounded by the new Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, the up and coming Mint Museum Experience Art, Duke Energy Building, and the Afro-​American Cultural Center.
Park in The Green’s parking garage ($ 5 on Saturday or Sunday) or at the Duke Energy Building. However, there isn’t a coffee shop to go hang out at as you wait for the crowd to get in their cars and take off.
Beautiful facility! The downfall is when you arrive. They didn’t seem to plan enough space (like the Belk Theater) for you to mingle in the lobby area. It’s crowded. They need to build a place outside for the box office so that once you are inside you can easily get to your next destination. Until they get the box office ironed out, I suggest that you print your own tickets or have them mailed to you. There were many people that were stuck waiting in line for their «will call» tickets and were not allowed into the performance until the intermission.
I couldn’t get cell service once I was inside. I’m not sure if that is only for AT&T customers or if they have something that jams the signal. Hopefully all phones didn’t get service so that way performances can be distraction free.
I’m looking forward to returning to many great performances here!
