I always love coming to this place for any event. Maybe not 100% up to date but thats what gives it its charm. The decor brings you back to a time where the theater was the main entertainment center. As I said the building itself is older but the equipment they use is all up to date and you will have a great experience when you come, for whatever the reason may be.

We saw Wicked, August 2025. We had the full view of the stage and orchestra from the balcony. Everyone was friendly and guided us through the center. Getting tickets online really does not give a clear understanding that seating is multi-floors above the orchestra seats. I believe the balcony had better viewing than the loge a floor below.

1st time there. Parking is easy in the parking garage across the street. Venue itself is nice. Comfy seats. Bars and bathrooms are adequate. Would go again. Was fun to see the orchestra setup and play during the show.

I’ve always thought that the theater could use a higher incline. It’s such a large theater, but it can get pretty uncomfortable in the back, with views very obscured by taller gents seating in front of you. Obviously orchestra seats are the best. As are the front loge seats. But unlike, say the Fiserv where you get a good view from any seat, further back seats here can get pretty uncomfortable. One little bit of luck I had seating on row W was that this was the second to the last row on orchestra floor, but the last row was set up with sound tables and no one was seating there during my show. And because I had a really tall guy seating in front of me, I couldn’t see anything, but I could actually flop up the fold down chair and sit up high without obscuring anyone behind me and get an unobscured view myself. So if I want cheap tickets in the back, get the very back row and sit up like that to get a better view lol. It’s not comfortable though.
