  • I am so happy to see theater shows becoming busy again! We went to the PPAC to see a production of Hadestown. It was a great play in a beautiful theater.

  • EVERY staff member we encountered here was nice and helpful! From the lady at the door that checked our bags to the ones that pointed us towards the show and the ones helping people find their seats. It just felt so welcoming. The theater is beautifully charming. They have 2 women’s restrooms which is great so although there were a lot of people there was no wait. It was immaculately clean, including the restrooms and I love their practical hooks on the bathroom doors. Their pretzels were warm and just the right balance between crispy and soft inside. Would definitely visit again!
  • This place is amazing!!! The place has so much history, you can see it every area. I went to see a performance, they have good security and the staff check everything and direct you to the area you need to go. The also sell some food like pretzel. Good place to go and see a great performance.
  • One of the best theaters I have attended in a long time. I have traveled from Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Boston, and New York City. And this by far is on my top 10 list. My only issue is the security. When someone has an ‘all access pass’ and it’s part of the media and an influencer on Instagram and YouTube. They should be allowed in to do an Instagram live. Phil from security was not super friendly. Treated me like I was someone who didn’t belong there. My only recommendation to the theater, hire a better security team. Other than that, it was an amazing experience. Sincerely, Dennis Schleicher
  • I've been to many shows here. It is a beautiful theater and the shows are almost always amazing. The cookies are my favorite part though haha down. The seating, like almost all theaters, is not comfortable, even further up, for anyone over 200lbs.
  • Perfect setting to see Broadway shows, ballet or classic movies. Proscenium stage framed by golden curtains, classic post Victorian architectures that make you feel as if are in Russia. I am truly in love with this place.
