All seats have excellent views with comfortable cushy seats! This is an amazing historical theater. You enter at street level, but the theater is below. Love this intimate theater that has Broadway shows and local events 😍
Absolutely no complaints here. It was a wonderful experience and we throughly enjoyed our musical there.
Parking situation is absolutely horrible. Most of the staff was nice. They will not let you back inside the event from the restrooms if there is a song playing and the elderly ushers will Naruto run at you if your phone lights up inside or you try to take a photo while you are seated and tell you to turn it off.
I remember back in the day my class from sun valley elementary took a field trip here and it was great I still have those memories to this day! Boy how time Flys I forgot what musical we seen but you should of seen all of our little faces and eyes back then we where amazed by the women and men performed on stage that day it was cool. When it came time to leave and go back to school we didn't want to leave at all and this place was nice and let us bring in our packed lunches and let us enjoy. Because of all these positive experiences I will never forget this place at all kinda brings tears to my eyes because how well us children were treated that day thank you from the bottom of my heart! I'm now 36 years old that's how long ago it was.
We attended a showing of the okay Juliet. The cast, musicians and everyone involved in the production where top notch. Didn't spend much time in the theater otherwise but do look forward to another opportunity to do so
