Welcome to the William H. Mortensen Hall at The Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts, the undisputed crown jewel of live entertainment in Hartford, Connecticut.

It is important to correct common misconceptions regarding the venue: Mortensen Hall is a dedicated performing arts center, not a sports stadium. While you will not find NFL games here, you will secure access to the most prestigious cultural events in the state. I recommend this venue specifically for theater enthusiasts and music lovers who appreciate refined acoustics. The hall is the proud home of the Hartford Symphony Orchestra, providing a rich auditory experience that sports arenas simply cannot replicate.

My extensive experience with this venue confirms that the programming is consistently world-class. We frequently see demand skyrocket for blockbuster Broadway hits such as Hamilton, Wicked, The Lion King, and Moulin Rouge! The Musical. Furthermore, the stage often hosts legendary comedians and musicians, with past and upcoming rosters featuring the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, John Mulaney, and Harry Connick Jr.. When you book tickets through our platform, you are guaranteeing your spot at these high-demand engagements.

As an expert on the Hartford area, I propose a few "pro tips" to maximize your evening. The Bushnell is located in the Capitol District, which can get busy. I strongly suggest arriving at least 45 minutes prior to curtain time to admire the "Drama of the American Spirit," the largest hand-painted ceiling mural in the United States, suspended right above the audience. For dining, I recommend making a reservation at Salute or The Capital Grille, both located just a short walk from the theater, to round out a perfect night in the city.

Regarding logistics, I advise utilizing the State of Connecticut parking lot located adjacent to the theater on Capitol Avenue, which is often free or low-cost during evening and weekend events, offering a distinct advantage over other downtown venues. Navigating the ticket market can be complex, but my team and I ensure that the inventory listed here is verified and secure. Whether you are looking for Orchestra seating to be close to the action or Balcony seats for a panoramic view of the stunning architecture, we provide the access you need.
