Dining Tips
Finish dinner 30+ minutes before showtime. Most restaurants offer pre-theater menus.
Highly recommended, especially for evening performances. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.
Most listed restaurants are within 5-10 minutes walk. Factor in extra time during busy hours.

The interior of the theater is beautiful, the beginning entrance is very tight quarters. A few more directions signs would be useful. The staff filed us through one door then everyone stopped because it was right next to the bar. XD So be prepared for tight and chaotic entrance then a wonderful time once you're past the ticket check.
The show and venue were beautiful!! My only complaint is that it was so hot inside! 🥵 it felt like the AC didn't get turned on until the show started and even then you could barely feel it.
Saw a beautiful noise the Neil Diamond musical. Easy to get to from Bart. The sounds system is great as well as the lighting. The theater is also beautiful. Had a great time.
I love the atmosphere. Seats are not that comfortable as the one made in XXI century, but the design is spectacular
Nice venue, has two parking garages near it and good dining choices nearby. Staff is always friendly and welcoming.
