What parents say
"A beautiful venue with lots of history and charm. We had the pleasure of seeing Gregory Alan Isakov play tonight, and the show was amazing. Despite the venue’s size and capacity, the sound was incredible, and the atmosphere felt very intimate. Crowd control was well managed, even with so many people there. Plenty of exits made getting in and out super easy. I recommend parking at the Elm Street Parking Garage for $5 during off hours.. Can’t wait to see who else brings us back to this majestic theater! ❤️🙌"

Also there is a really reasonably priced parking garage kitty corner to it that had plenty of spaces so that was nice too."

Seat spacing in the orchestra level where we were as very"
