    The balcony seats have an excellent view and are better than the rows that are located towards the back of the orchestra level.

    Shows are great, and parking is easy in the attached garage. Drinks and snacks can be a bit spends, but the entertainment is awesome!

    The theater had a good amount of seats, and I managed to get last minute tickets for relatively cheap.

    Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.

    Obstructed view is no joke. Blocked over 50% of the stage by speakers. You end up listening more than watching.

    My great-great-great-great grand uncle ran this place. I still wonder where all the money went.

    If you park in the Grand Garage on-site, get there early and park on the lower levels or else it will take you an hour to file out of a big event.

    Get a season subscription for a weekday night. It's a great deal for 6 shows, and totally worth the price!

    I find this place a bit over priced. For an cheap $20 bus ticket you can actually see shows on Broadway. I come here when they host things I can't get elsewhere for cheaper.
