| - Better late than never!
We saw Gilberto Gil here in November 2012. Totally awesome theater for an intimate show like this! For those who don't know who the above artist is, he is a totally rocking out 70 year old Brazilian musical juggernaut who was their country's Minister of Culture from 2003-2008, but I digress...
As another reviewer mentioned, this theater reminds one of a smaller version of another wonderful theater close-by. It has many accoutrements of yesterday, including a beautiful lobby and gorgeous frescoes inside. During our experience there, we were inspired to dance, and found the space between rows to accomodate us well - although I did feel sorry for those behind us, since we probably blocked their view. (They were the only people left sitting in the entire place when we gave it up and started shaking our booties... Yikes!)
Overall, this is THE place to go and see artists bring down the house. Read several of the other reviewers' notes regarding the seating here, because it is fundamental for your enjoyment of the show. We sat in the center floor region, and were totally enthralled by the show!
Courteous staff, great shows, and a classic venue.
Will definitely be back!
