Orlando's Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center is Growing!As many of you are aware, not only do we love theme parks, but we also love Broadway musicals and the theater! In many ways the two go hand in hand which is why we have been very fortunate here in Orlando to see the opening of the new Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in 2014, and now it's second and final expansion of the project is well underway with a planned opening in a couple of years!
The current venue houses two different theaters: The Walt Disney Theater (again, another tie-in to the theme park world) which seats 2,700 people and the Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater which seats about 300. Both theaters are BEAUTIFUL and function extremely well for different types of shows. I've seen performances in both theaters and I absoultely LOVE them! The focus of this update though is the new Steinmetz Hall which will seat 1,700. The new theater is an acoustic hall for ballet, operas, orchestral performances and will carry one of the highest acoustic ratings but what makes this venue even more interesting is the stage, walls and floor will move, getting longer, shorter or lower to host all kinds of entertainment. This new addition will also house a large rehearsal room and performance area called "The Green Room" which the Jazz Orchestra at Dr. Phillips Center is planned to make performances. We'll also see some new food offerings come online with a new kitchen facility that will cater to the entire Dr. Phillips Performing Arts venue. As always we highly recommend checking their website to check their show schedule and be sure to add Dr. Phillips Center as part of your next Orlando visit: https://www.drphillipscenter.org/ Let's have a look at some photos from the construction tour....

It's great to see an ultra-modern, high capacity venue built from the ground up specifically for the performing arts. While New York is obviously known for musicals, that's not something you often see here. This place looks awesome.
Re: Orlando's Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center is GrowingNice to see an up close view of the updated construction. We drove by last weekend just to see the progress, and boy is it impressive. Thanks Robb.

Re: Orlando's Dr. Phillips Performing Arts Center is Growing
Do you guys buy the full subscription of shows for the season, or do you buy them one show at a time? Just curious. We usually get only three shows for a season, with one or two add-ons to it. This lineup looks great! Damn, I would love to see Betty Buckley in Hello, Dolly! I got to see her as the original Grizabella in "Cats" waaaaaaay back in the fall of 1982. Great voice, great show. There's a great interview with her about the Dolly! tour at Broadway.com ..... https://www.broadway.com/videos/158875/the-broadwaycom-show-betty-buckley-of-the-hello-dolly-national-tour/ The new Hall is looking awesome, too! ![]()

Sadly no luck, so secondary market it is. Or just visit Orlando and pray for a lottery win! ![]()
