Moody Performance Hall — Attraction in Dallas

I recently attended an event at the Moody Performance Hall, hosted by Ballet North Texas, on April 27, 2024. Regrettably, my experience fell far short of expectations, leaving me deeply disappointed.

The event, advertised as a performance of "Sleeping Beauty" ballet, promised an immersive experience complete with narrations, interactive elements, and engaging Q&A sessions. However, what transpired was anything but immersive. The performance lacked coherence and depth, with minimal staging and only a handful of brief dances. The advertised interactive elements were virtually nonexistent, leaving attendees feeling disconnected from the performance.

To compound matters, the entire event lasted a mere 35 minutes, which felt insufficient given the cost of tickets and parking totaling $60. This brevity, coupled with the lackluster performance, left me feeling shortchanged and disillusioned.

Despite my attempts to seek recourse, the organizers of the event, including the Moody Performance Hall, demonstrated a disappointing lack of accountability by refusing to issue refunds for the misrepresented event. This unwillingness to address the concerns of patrons only further soured the experience.

As a venue that hosts a variety of events, including performances by esteemed organizations like Ballet North Texas, the Moody Performance Hall has a responsibility to ensure that patrons receive the quality experiences they expect and deserve. Unfortunately, my recent experience fell far short of this standard.

In the future, I hope the Moody Performance Hall will take proactive measures to address concerns raised by patrons and uphold the quality and integrity of the...

this past weekend I visited the moody performance hall for a spur of the moment decision to see Momix's Alice. A phenomal work that was unfortunately colored by a negative and unfortunately aggressive run in with Moody security as we were leaving the venue.

We had stayed for the artist talk after the performance, and despite the moderator ignoring my niece's question the momix company members made it a point to come to the side of the stage to answer her question. My sister and I thought it was the end to an great day, we went to the bathroom and then proceeded to leave the building singing titus' praises. it was when we paused to look at the line up of upcoming dances that the security guard, in a very brusque manner, told us to vacate the premises, which we were doing, pausing to look at a picture doesnt usually indicate an intention to camp last time I checked. It was when we didn't, I guess, start running for the exit, that he began to move his hand towards his hip and reiterate his point "leave the building".

Now as an Allen survivor I'm on edge now, if he is reaching for a weapon I can't know, all I know is I am in open space with my sister and my 7yr old niece. And this has affected my niece enough that she had to see her school counselor today, I cannot in good conscience recommend anyone continue to see any titus performances or any erformance at Moody if this is how Moody security behaves towards...

The performance hall was wonderful. There really isn't a bad seat in the hall. The seats are a comfortable size and spacing between rows. I noticed that the top, side balcony seat rotate slightly to help offer a better view. There's a very limited concession at marked up pricing. No food or drinks (except water) are allowed in the performance hall. The ballet was decent, but you could tell it was top tier. This show offered a only mobile performance program. I don't normally keep the program so I was fine with this option. Plus, it lets the show or hall keep more of their proceeds. My only complaint, which isn't anything I can fault the performance hall or show, were some of the other visiting patrons manners. You'd think they'd never been to a public performance before with their chatting, commentary, children playing, and attire. Maybe I just went...
