About this venue
Andrew Jackson Hall is the largest theatre within the Tennessee Performing Arts Center and one of Nashville’s principal venues for the performing arts. Its spacious proscenium auditorium accommodates up to 2,472 visitors, including orchestra-pit seating, and regularly hosts major Broadway productions, musicals, concerts and other stage performances. A three-storey lobby with expansive windows and rounded balconies gives the venue a distinctive and welcoming architectural character.
Continental-style seating is arranged across the orchestra level, tier, loges and balcony, providing a choice of perspectives toward the wide stage. The proscenium stage and available orchestra shell allow the sound environment to be adapted to different productions, while elevators, accessible seating, assistive-listening devices, renovated restrooms and lobby information screens support a comfortable visit.
The theatre is located in downtown Nashville at 505 Deaderick St, Nashville, United States. The entrance on 6th Avenue is marked by the TPAC marquee and serves as the valet drop-off point for most evening performances, while dedicated passenger and rideshare zones are positioned along Deaderick Street between 5th Avenue N and 6th Avenue N. Several parking garages are available nearby, and the section below provides broader information about travelling around Nashville.
About the city
Nashville, known as Music City, is one of the most appealing U.S. destinations for concerts, sports, and live entertainment. The city’s energy is felt everywhere, from the busy downtown streets to neighborhoods packed with bars, restaurants, and live-music venues. Visitors also appreciate the wide range of accommodations—from hotels right in the center to convenient options in surrounding areas—making it easy to turn an event into a comfortable city break.
When it comes to arriving and getting around, a major advantage is that Nashville International Airport (BNA) is close to the city, and downtown naturally becomes the starting point for most plans. Within the city, WeGo Public Transit helps you move around reliably, while the WeGo Star regional train is a convenient way to reach the heart of downtown, terminating at Riverfront Station just steps from Broadway. Thanks to clear main roads and key transport hubs, reaching the main arenas and stadiums is typically quick and straightforward—whether you use public transit, taxi/ride-share, or your own car.
When you’re not cheering or singing along, Nashville delivers a great “tourist bonus.” Take a walk along the iconic Broadway and its honky-tonk bars, soak up the vibe by the Cumberland River and the riverside parks, or cross the pedestrian bridge for stadium access and downtown skyline views. For a calmer break, you’ll find museums and cultural landmarks like the Ryman Auditorium and the Country Music Hall of Fame, plus neighborhoods such as The Gulch or 12South—perfect for a great dinner and an evening that matches the city’s rhythm.
