"The theater is huge, old school, and classy. Every employee was so friendly. They were very helpful with finding seats and knowledgeable of the theater itself. When you first walk in they have a cocktail area with cute bar seats and tables. Then you can take the steps or elevator up to the different levels to access your seats. The seats were comfy and there were many options, I recommend to buy ahead so you can choose your seats and section. This experience is far and few between now. There was a variety of people from singles, couples, families and or all ages. It was so nice to be in an old"
