The auditorium brings in a wide variety of shows from live music to plays and even movies. Two events -- the Dennis James silent movie for Halloween and the Chimes of Christmas -- are the ones we see most often but we usually attend 2-3 other shows every year. You do not want to be too far back on the second floor, the balcony is pointless for anything more than music or a movie frankly. Tickets, while expensive, sell out fast so do think ahead; if you do an annual subscription you can save money but only if you plan to do several shows a year. The history of the place is quite interesting so arrive early so you can explore. Inside youll find some of the original pipes for music and outside youll see a lot of works of art from Indiana artists. The famous Benton murals showing Indiana history are also in outside of the auditorium proper but you can see those at any time when there isnt a show you need tickets for.

Dont expect courtesy or customer service. Wouldnt let me use the downstairs restroom because my section after explaining to the rude attendants I had to use the restroom they refused to let me use the bathroom and had to walk up two stories to go pee. I have seen several shows here over the years and I will never come to this venue again.

My family saw Wild Kratts Live at IU Auditorium. The show and the venue were both great. We were in the balcony in a corner, yet we could clearly see and hear everything going on one the stage. I have started to look for showed at IU Auditorium as a result of our experience.

One of the most impressive university auditoriums Ive been in. Amazing multimedia with web broadcast capabilities. Ive enjoyed all shows and conference meetings there. Auditorium ushers are exceptional and always helpful and professional.

Awesome theater with a great view from anywhere in the place. Lots of friendly student volunteer ushers. Love the IU line up ...saw Chris Botti perform and it was excellent. Parking was good and free, but not super close.

The auditorium was built in the 1930s but the architecture still seems very modern and the inside is beautiful. They manage to snag very interesting shows every year and the staff is friendly and helpful.

Hard to get parking or avoid traffic coming here when there is a show going on. I recommend you park much further away and walk to the auditorium or take the bus.

I saw Tony Bennett perform here and loved it. Its the home of amazing musicals like Legally Blonde, Academy Award winners like Meryl Streep, and so much more!

Fantastic theatre with some history! The organ is beautiful and sounds even better. Make sure you attempt to catch any performance at this gem.

We have enjoyed several shows at the IU Auditorium. We sit way up in the back and hearing and seeing whats going on hasnt been a problem.

Great theater that offers many amazing performances! If you cannot afford tickets, ask if you can usher in exchange for free tickets.

Great to see and perform shows here. The sound and views are good from just about anywhere but obviously closer seating is better

Went there for a couple of contemporary dace shows. Great shows. Just too bad that they have such things only once a year.
