I am so happy with these seats! Apparently this is called the fundraising seat section with limited view however , I personally think they are better than tickets I’d normally get in Orchestra center closer up. $70 seats with this view? I’ll take this over any other and I come here a great deal!
I always look forward to seeing shows at Proctors! The theater is beautiful and well-maintained and the staff is always helpful and friendly. The quality of the shows and concerts there are top-notch too; I have yet to see one that doesn't exceed my expectations. Definitely my favorite local theater to visit!
Old school type concert. Incredible acoustics. Unfortunately it was the first time ever there. My bad..FREE PARKING for the event you are going to see. Look forward to having the opportunity to go there again. And not a huge venue either!!
We are season ticket holders for Proctor’s Broadway series. We are very lucky to get such high caliber shows here in Schenectady, often shortly after they go on tour. The Theater itself is nice. The seats are a little on the small side if you are a bigger person. If you are a season ticket holder, you get access to the Ovation lounge ahead of the show, where you can order food and cocktails. Concession prices are not alarmingly high and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. There is a parking garage across the street that is a fairly quick in and out.
An utterly fantastical, totally splendiferous, jaw-droppingly wonderful night at Wicked. The sets, the lights, and THE ACTORS! PURE BLISS!
