    Seats are VERY tight - I'm 5' 7" and my knees were practically in the head of the person in front of me. If you are tall, or large, grab an aisle seat!

    Saw Book of Mormon here - an absolutely beautiful and enormous old theatre that you should definitely experience if you have the chance. Sadly, it isn't used very often.

    Beautiful theater with no real view obstructions on the lower level. However, legroom and personal space are extremely minimal.

    The seats here are tight in terms of leg room -- not necessarily in terms of width. Taller people will need to do some creative leg arranging in order to make it to intermission.

    Not for the tall and/or wide bodied, but a nice theater nonetheless.

    Not worth the ticket prices for the seats designed for children. Go to NY. Same price, more comfortable seats

    Seats need a steeper gradient. Guy's head in front of me blocked most views.
