Great date night
Depak is the place to go for date night. It features concerts and musicals and we’ve rarely been disappointed. For those who don’t like staying up late, the afternoon shows are also good. They offer package deals with front row seats and VIP parking. Handicapped parking is also available. Tip: come early to get good parking and avoid long lines. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Adult beverages are served—including mixed drinks and the seats are plush and include cup holders. For a special treat, start the date with a delicious meal at one of the nearby restaurants, such as Nana’s Steakhouse or Rue Cler (French food). Depak is one of the best things about Durham. Take your date or friends and enjoy the show!

First visit, will be back
Others have already written about how nice this venue is, so I'll skip that. We came to see "Come From Away". The show was a fabulous musical, though our seats were quite expensive, based on their location. Everybody mentions Broadway in Durham, but we didn't expect Broadway prices. We were in section 9, which is WAY up in the balcony. Still they cost $250 each. I felt we were in an airplane circling Newfoundland watching the ants on stage. But the sound was great so we enjoyed the show. We'll just make sure to buy tickets further in advance and stay away from sections 7 & 9.
