This was my first time there and it was amazing. It was easy to park right next to the theater for 10.00. The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of leg room. There is not a bad seat in the theater. It is a great place to see a show.
I love the Shubert! Unlike another larger venue in Hartford... every seat is a good seat and you can actually see the stage, even from the back of the balcony! I bring around 40 students to see a show each year, and I can honestly say their group prices can not be beat by any other large theatre in the state. They also have a wonderfully diverse array of shows, including great dance performances which can be hard to find. I highly recommend!
I traveled from Rockland county NY other that the rush hour traffic it was an easy drive. The treatre was beautiful. The staff very friendly and helpful. I would definitely attend another event there. Plenty of nearby parking for a reasonable price.
Great theater, plenty of seat room. The acoustic was excellent. I would definitely go back to see another Broadway show.
Went to see the nutcracker with my mom and we both enjoyed the experience. The parking itself is fine but if you cannot handle traffic then plan to come earlier and look for street parking nearby.
