Great venue. Unique architecture. Comfortable seats. We were 1st row center seats. Excellent sound.
Small, intimate place to see some great shows! Only advice, don't pay extra for box seats. The seats aren't numbered, so it's first come, first serve, and the view from the side isn't great.
Saw a great show. Renovations continue. The modern production was well done and worked well in the theater!
Lots of construction around, so leave extra time to get in! Nice venue, great shows, okay parking. Doing a good job with upgrading, but the light fixtures and certain interior elements still need some TLC. Go see a show, great performances!
3 stars for the show itself. Hamilton was amazing. Would give 5 stars if it was solely based on the show. My husband and I had tickets for a Thursday night show that appeared sold out. Yay! Great for the organization. We were seated in Balcony J101 & J102. These tickets were expensive. The view from the seats were fine. My complaint is that the seats are so small and uncomfortable. It's worse than plane seating. I was seated in J102 and next to a larger man. He was constantly hitting my shoulders and legs. I kept scooting toward my husband and didn't have use of any arm rest. This gentleman should have purchased 2 seats. On top of that discomfort, the building is old and the seats are super uncomfortable. The reception area is well run and has lots of space. The beverage area is well run and efficient. Plenty of options.
