It was a great experience. The venue was beautiful, location was accessible, and the seating was exceptional.
Great show. Love ABBA Tribute show. Theater is very comfortable.
Just wow! A beautiful comfortable small-venue theater. Saw the 2nd show at 9:30 of Josh Johnson on Aug 16. They had quickly moved 1300 guests from the 7pm show out of the theater and had the new line of guests moving in quickly. Good acoustics. A beer is $8 and I love that they put a lid on the plastic cup! I'd go there again in a heartbeat.
Saw a comedy show, very nice! But, I know this sounds wild, but does anyone have a photo of the women's bathroom from the outside?? Like the two entrances? If so, can someone post it, or take one for me?! I swear I had a paranormal experience down there and I don't even know why I didn't go back down after the show to verify if I'm nuts or I really saw it, because it was definitely weird what I thought I saw!
The theater itself is absolutely gorgeous, and I don't think there's a bad seat in the house. Sat up in the balcony seats and had a great view, volume was perfect, I had a great time here. 10/10 recommend.
