As far as theaters go, this one is gorgeous. Even sitting in the so called cheap seats you still feel a part of the action. The interior of the builing is a marvel to look at in it's ornate carvings. If you have a chance to see any kind of performance here don't pass it up.

A fantastic place to see all kinds of concerts and events. Truely an amazing example of saving our architectural history. This started as burlesque house and has evolved into one of the finest theatre's of its size in the country. Do not miss a chance to see it and the Palais Royale next door.

I LOVE seeing shows here and there is truly not a bad seat in the house!
