Wonderful 2,300 person theater. If you can get a front row mezzanine seat, it's fantastic. Great view and no obstructions.

No sense in getting here more than 30 minutes before show time. Seating starts about 20 minutes before show time, the ushers are very good at getting you seated quickly. All in all it is enjoyable

No Day But Today! Totally love this show! One of my favorite Broadway show of all times! Location is very convenient, you can park behind the theater or across the street!

If you have previously purchased the reusable sippy cups from past shows, remember to bring them for your drink during the show!

Make it a point to wander up to the lobby upstairs. It's beautiful and spacious

Nice size theater for the city - not overwhelming

You have to buy the cups with lids or drink really fast, can't get back to seat with open cups.

Ushers manage the entry to the theater poorly. Opened the doors late, and let people in way too slowly.
