Amazing performance hall. Went to see Herb Albert. 90 years old! He is still performing strong. Great show.
What a beautiful theater. I came here to see "Barbie The Movie: In Concert with the Seattle Symphony" and had a very good time. The conductor (Sarah Hicks) and the orchestra did a great job, and some of them even wore pink overalls. Looking forward to seeing more concerts here.
Great hall to hear the Seattle Symphony in concert; we went to see Dreamworks; seats a bit cramped and even though no spill cups allowed, no cup holders; but plenty of locations to buy something:near ticket office there are a few restaurants; outside hall there are drink stations
What an incredible place to see a concert! I've been here a few times now and have never been disappointed. Incredible architecture and acoustics. Best of all, there's an underground Light Rail station directly below the theater. Easy to get in and out. Olympic Otter
