Teresa was very clever and funny. Also. It was extremely touching when guests were connected back with their loved ones. There were a few times where she had so many details that nobody would have known. There were some hecklers I'd call them in the audience. One woman was yelling. I met you 3 years ago. Talk to me. That was awkward and I'm sure it happens to Teresa all the time, but she handled it with Grace. Victoria theater never disappoints. It is Grand and cozy, it's clean and the service is awesome. Awesome. You can just tell that the people that work there or volunteer there. Love the history and the architecture of this building. Thank you for a great night out with a friend!!
We saw Reed Timmer's show last night. It has been many years since we visited the Victoria and I am now in a wheelchair. I was very impressed with the staff. They got me through security quickly and directed me to the elevator. A gentleman staff member escorted me to the elevator and to my seat. He was extremely personable and fun. The wheelchair seating was very nice and accommodated both of my attendants. I would definitely recommend this venue to any wheelchair user.
We came to see the Dinosaur show and had an amazing time. I felt the seats we had were the best (we were seated in the balcony row AA) but to be honest all of the seating looked decent but the balcony to me was the best because no one was in front of us and our view was amazing. The seats were plush and very comfortable. There was a parking lot across the street that was very convenient. I will definitely return.
Great place…security was dope place was really clean so felt comfortable and of course big dog was in town
Came to the Victoria Theatre to see Josh Johnson—phenomenal show, by the way, easily five stars for him. The venue itself is an absolute gem—gorgeously preserved with tasteful modern upgrades that honor its historic charm without feeling dated. Truly, a feast for the eyes. Now... about those seats. Clearly designed in a time when folks were smaller, sat with their ankles crossed, and possibly skipped dinner. As a well-fed, full-hipped modern American woman of African descent (shoutout to my equally blessed sisters in attendance), we found ourselves wedged into seats that felt more like suggestions than accommodations. Those little metal dividers between the seats? A menace. Our hips were in a cold war with the armrests the entire night. BUT—we were blessed with good legroom (a rare treat for us tall girls), and honestly, Josh Johnson’s performance made it all worth it. I laughed hard enough to forget the pain… temporarily. Come for the comedy, marvel at the architecture, but maybe bring a cushion and stretch beforehand.
