| - My husband and I were recently here to see Human Nature, and we just loved this venue!
The theater is medium-sized: it feels intimate but actually holds more people than it would appear to (perhaps between 400-500?). It's super clean, super plush with very comfortable seats, rows well-tiered with lots of leg room and even the tall people in front of us didn't obstruct our view of the stage in the least. There were tons of large-screen monitors placed about and the sets and lighting and acoustics were fantastic. Wider than average aisles. Nice ushers. The whole theater felt simultaneously intimate and luxurious. We really really liked it.
As Jake noted above, there is one big drawback, however (hence the reason I'm ranking this venue 4 stars instead of 5): at multiple, multiple times during the show, the ushers let people in to go to their seats. It didn't matter if it was 5 minutes into the show, 30 minutes into the show, 45 minutes into the show, it just didn't matter. It happened at least 20 times. And it was really distracting, as we were seated in the front row of the "upper section", right by the railing, so people arriving late literally walked right in front of us, blocking our view of the stage and the performance. Seriously, we've never seen this occur in any theater anywhere (and we attend many shows and plays). The doors should be closed to late-comers after show-time, or at most after 10 minutes max after the performance has started.
Other than this one issue, the place is great.
