Been a season ticket holder for several decades, always a wonderful night out. Each season is 5 shows and brings a great variety of plays - musicals, comedies, dramas, etc. Highly recommend! Full review by Tom W

Close parking areas. Would recommend reserving a spot. Stairs are steep. There is an elevator available. It is the oldest operating theater in America. Seats and leg room are a little tight. Close to… Full review by Lovetogarden52

Questions & answers

Q:
Is the "ga" seating worth it to go to a show. It's the only ticket I can really afford. Thanks!
A:
Absolutely, there is really no bad seating in the theater. Also you may be able to move to empty seating after intermission. We have done this before.
Q:
Has anyone seen A Christmas Carol before in this theater? I'm curious to know why it's saying it's "WST for kids"?
A:
Sorry, Rusty, I have not seen that there. Any questions about the performance, I would either go on their website or call the box office.

A:
Individual tickets range from $20 to $95 depending upon seating. However, if scheduling is a problem, you can buy a subscription and exchange your subscription date tickets for dates that match your needs. We often do that since we cannot always go on our subscription date. On the other hand, if price and scheduling are problems, consider buying tickets to the Studio 3 series of plays. These plays are full length performances in a smaller venue which is quite intimate. You will look directly into the performers eyes and so become "part" of the performance. We love both the main theater and Studio 3.
Q:
Is the box office open during the day so that tickets can be purchased
A:
I bought mine online, but a Google search gave box office hours as 10-6 every day except Sunday. If there is a performance on Sunday, it is open 10 until performance. Box office is open …
A:
I bought mine online, but a Google search gave box office hours as 10-6 every day except Sunday. If there is a performance on Sunday, it is open 10 until performance. Box office is open later on performance days.
Q:
What is playing August 25, 2016
A:
I just checked the theater's website and it looks like the theater is closed for the month of August. The next show listed is South Pacific on September 6, 2016.
