Saw the 6:30 pm voices rock anniversary concert at Newman center PAC at DU. Great show- hundreds of enthusiastic singers , very well run production and great energy. Venue is beautiful- spacious, bright, ample restrooms, nice usher staff. $12 for parking seems steep. The covered walk way from 2nd level parking to lobby is very poorly lighted. I have a professional background in live sound engineering. Doing live choir especially with a band and especially with young voices can make for an extremely challenging gig. Overall sound was good. Mixer did a very good job handling the many cues, mic movements, etc. The mixing/ balancing of the band and between band / soloists/ choir.l was very good. There was also ample room for improvement. There were many times when the choir needed more of a lift to be louder. I would quibble with the choice and placement of area/ choir mics that could have assisted with this. Love the voices rock and will always go to their shows. Newman center is wonderful but has a few things they can improve on.

This place in the heart of Denver offers large space for people to enjoy for their variety of cultural shows. The space between the rows was a little tight for people to get out without giving inconvenience to fellow audience. All in all, it's okay.

Newman Center for the Performing Arts has a beautiful performance space. The usher team was helpful. I had some trouble hearing the soloist. I wasn’t sure whether that was due to the small instrument or the acoustics.

Beautiful venue! Not large. Great elevated box seats. We saw the Denver Brass Celtic performance. Sound and acoustics were excellent. Only negative was the concession stand. Very limited munchy snacks. A 10oz glass of wine was $15.
