Warner theatre celebrated its 100 year anniversary in 2024. It is my first time to see a show in this Neo-Renaissance theater. Gilded walls and chandeliers are so grand that made me stop in amazement. There’s security checks at the entrance. Luckily i didn’t bring a bag. Check before you go. Metro is the most convenient way to get here, but commercial parking garages are nearby.
5 outta 5 stars 🌟 Saw the 50th Anniversary of Rocky Horror Picture Show. Gorgeous theatre! The excitement, the anticipation, the classic campiness, was all there like I'd hoped. It was WELL the 40 min drive 💯 FANTASTIC job with the show, y'all and had a GREAT time. The live vibes here remind me of my hometown Austin, gyad I miss the live entertainment scene, there. This place gave me the live vibe fix I needed. Crowd was lively, hilarious and vocal. Sayin the lines along with the movie, even gave us a little baggie with tiny props from the movie you can throw. The playing card, the toast, the rice haha! I had such a fun time and WILL be back! 👏👏👏
5/5 easy. The venue is stunning, clean, and the staff are very helpful and organized. We got to see Jared Fried there and had a blast!
Most beautiful theater in DC. Lots of free parking on the street after 8. The Hamilton is a few blocks away. They do have metal detectors to go through and it takes a few. Mins to get in. I love seeing music here. It seems to end early..
It has good sound except under the balcony. The interior is ornate, but it's always a bit crowded. The crowd was friendly, but a lot of older men were falling down the steps. I felt safe because the security is good and the national guard was around the corner.
