ASU Gammage schedule — Tempe, Arizona

Discover the Historic ASU Gammage Theater

The ASU Gammage is more than a theater — it's a historic landmark that blends visionary design with world-class performance. Located at 1200 South Forest Avenue in Tempe, it anchors Arizona State University’s arts scene and draws audiences from across the Phoenix metro. From national Broadway tours on the ASU Gammage schedule to marquee concerts and compelling lectures, every visit feels special.

Opened in 1964 and seating 3,017 guests, the venue was designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Its sweeping curves, dramatic cantilevers, and distinctive circular form create a striking silhouette—originally conceived for an opera house in Baghdad and later adapted for ASU. Inside, advanced acoustical design and state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems set the stage for an exceptional listening and viewing experience.

ASU Gammage is a premier destination for Broadway shows, concerts, dance performances, lectures, and university events. It’s a regular home for touring Broadway productions through the Broadway Across America series and has welcomed renowned artists such as Elton John, Yo-Yo Ma, Tony Bennett, Itzhak Perlman, Carol Burnett, Jerry Seinfeld, Maya Angelou, and David Sedaris. The theater’s legacy also includes hosting the 2004 Presidential Debate between George W. Bush and John Kerry.

Part of the National Register of Historic Places, Gammage is celebrated not only for its lineup but also for its architecture and ambiance. A grand lobby with panoramic views and frequent art and history displays highlights the story behind Wright’s design and the venue’s role at ASU. The result is an atmosphere that’s as inspiring as the performances themselves.

Whether you’re catching a sold-out Broadway opener or a one-night concert, ASU Gammage offers a refined, memorable night out in the heart of Tempe. With strong acoustics, great sightlines, and a calendar that attracts top productions, it’s the perfect place to experience live entertainment at its best.

Seating Recommendations and Charts

ASU Gammage offers seating for approximately 3,017 guests, with a reserved configuration across three primary levels: Orchestra, Grand Tier, and Balcony. Seating includes wheelchair-accessible locations and VIP/donor areas, with rows that typically follow lettered sequences in each section.

• Front Orchestra: Ideal for fans who want an up-close connection with the performers, the front orchestra offers an immersive view of staging and detail. Note that angles may be steeper for edge seats closer to the aisles.
• Grand Tier Center: Elevated and centered, Grand Tier provides a strong overview of the stage with crisp acoustics—great for large ensembles and dance where full-stage perspective matters.
• Balcony Front: The front rows of the Balcony offer solid value with a clear line of sight into the full proscenium and lighting design. Many guests appreciate the vantage point for elaborate sets.
• Accessible Seating: Wheelchair-accessible seating is available in the Orchestra and Grand Tier with companion seats; elevators and ramps connect all levels for easy navigation.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

ASU Gammage

1200 South Forest Avenue

Tempe, AZ 85281

Located in Tempe on the Arizona State University campus, ASU Gammage sits about 10 miles from downtown Phoenix, making it easy to reach from across the Valley.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in the Gammage lot and nearby ASU lots; event parking typically ranges from $5–$10. Arrive early for best availability.
• Public Transit: Served by Valley Metro Light Rail—University Dr/Rural Station is a short walk away—and multiple bus routes.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. This gives you time to park, pass through security, and explore the grand lobby’s panoramic views and rotating exhibits on Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture. For ASU Gammage upcoming events, popular show nights can bring higher traffic, so building in a buffer ensures a relaxed start to your evening.

While performances take place indoors, Arizona’s heat can be intense—especially in summer—during outdoor arrival and departure. If you’re walking from parking or the light rail, consider the short walk time and sun exposure as you plan your route. Elevators and ramps are available once inside, and an accessible drop-off point makes arrivals easier for guests with mobility needs.

Public transit can be a smart alternative on busy dates. The Valley Metro Light Rail’s University Dr/Rural Station puts you within a brief walk of the theater, helping you bypass parking congestion and exit delays after the curtain falls.

Venue Navigation

ASU Gammage’s layout is straightforward, with three main seating levels—Orchestra, Grand Tier, and Balcony—connected by elevators and ramps for accessible movement. Wayfinding is clear from the lobby to aisles and sections, and staff are on hand to assist with directions and seating.

Merchandise stands are typically available during major events and Broadway shows, and ATMs and restrooms are located on all levels. The grand lobby also features art displays and historical exhibits about Frank Lloyd Wright and the venue—another reason to arrive early.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Plan extra time to enjoy the lobby’s exhibits and architecture before the show.
• Expect warm temperatures during outdoor arrival and departure—plan your route from parking or light rail accordingly.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your night by arriving early to explore the building’s architectural highlights and lobby exhibits—ASU Gammage’s circular forms and color palette are especially striking at sunset. If you’re attending a Broadway Across America production, checking your group’s seats on the interactive seating chart in advance can streamline your meet-up plan in the lobby.

Coordinating with friends? Choose a simple landmark, like a specific concession stand or merchandise kiosk on your level, to reconnect before the show and during intermission. With multiple levels and clear signage, you can move efficiently to your section and settle in with time to spare.
