Long Center for the Performing Arts — Attraction in Lafayette

Such a beautiful venue! We finally got to see Micheal W. Smith perform! There are a few things I wish they could change. There is no lift or elevator to the mezzanine. I bought tickets for this show in February of 2020, not knowing Covid would postpone the show fir so long. February of 2021 I had a major surgery that makes it hard to climb stairs, currently.

Needless to say, I was so uncomfortable my entire time I was there because I felt like I was a sardine packed tightly inside a can. They clearly didn’t spend a lot of money on the restoration because they would’ve put in better non...
