We recently saw Wicked at the Morris Performing Arts Center. For our night out, we parked in the lot right next to the theatre for $10. We then dined in the Bistro (mini buffet) on the lower level of the theatre. They offered 3 meats, soup, salad, vegetable, potato, rolls and a wide variety of wonderful desserts for $25 per... More

I recently saw Wicked at the Morris Performing Arts Center and, having never been to even South Bend before, I had no idea what this place would be like. The building itself is simply gorgeous - from walls to ceilings, everything makes you feel like you're in an old theatre in Europe. The only "negative" is probably the seats themselves... More

The building itself is beautiful. The ceiling and architecture is amazing. Was recently here to see Wicked. Had an issue with finding my ticket. They were able to look me up with my receipt and re-issue a new ticket. What a lifesaver! Thank you to the gentleman at the box office who helped me! Basically writing this review because of... More

My husband and I went to see WICKED at the Morris last weekend. The Morris is in downtown South Bend and is fronted by a little park with fountain. We parked in a lot nearby for $4 for the event and walked a couple of blocks. I also saw garage parking for $5. Unless you are there after 6 pm,... More

The Morris is one of Michiana's gems! There really isn't a bad seat in the house, even in the 2nd or 3rd balcony. The interior is so beautiful, the performances are top-notch whether it's comedy, a concert or a Broadway musical and the ticket prices are affordable for families. Parking is convenient and affordable and there are several restaurants to... More

The Morris was originally built in the 1920s and restored in 2000. It's a great place to see a concert in an intimate setting.

Great place to hear concerts, see shows, etc. Beautiful theatre. Not too hard to get to. Parking was not an issue. Wonderful building in downtown South Bend. Only sorry it's a bit far to drive, especially when you get out late.
