What an amazing experience! The staff are always so friendly. It is an old but beautiful building with character. The bathrooms are clean and the theater is kept tidy. The sacks and drinks they serve are pricey but, it’s average for a theater. I look forward to my next visit!
Beautiful theater with a variety of shows each year. They bring in some of the top performances and honestly each show is magical. The staff is helpful and very sweet. Parking made easy at the OPPD garage and sky walk.
I went and saw "The Outsiders" musical. Was by far the best show that I went to there. I felt all the emotions that I felt watching the movie and reading the book. The cast did a very great job! This show would be the reason I want to go back!
Nice venue, had great seats. Only upside is the rows are very "thin" per say and if you are what they consider a bigger individual. The seats are very narrow and not much leg room except if you're on the end and can stretch out your legs! Pics are from "Hadestown" and Spring Bling 402
Saw the Naruto symphonic experience and was blown away by their energy and talent. The theater was comfortable and easy to navigate, but the overall look was a little lackluster.
