Fulton Theatre Reviews

Great, charming little theatre. Use parking garage in town. Street parking is a problem.

Great performance very nice employees. Definitely worth going.

Very nice theatre! Good quality acting and any music is done exceptionally well! The Fulton is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Love it! Shows are all amazing. Go at leat twice a year to get my live theatre fix

WOW! I cannot believe it took me so long to go here! I saw Hunchback of Notre Dame and the performance was absolutely amazing. The theater itself is stunning!

Fantastic show. I can't wait to go again. A lot of cool bars and restaurants close by and very easy to make it a fun night

Always a great time here, spectacular shows and wonderful hospitality. Love coming to the Fulton!

A shining star in the heart of Lancaster. The actors and the shows have always been first class. There is no need to deal with crowds and traffic traveling to Broadway. Our Fulton theatre truly rivals anything offered on Broadway. We must stand together and support our local history and landmarks.

Very good value, high quality performances and a true gem in downtown Lancaster.

Whether we're going to see a play or musical, every production is top-notch!

Incredible old building. I've heard they have tours. I would love to take one someday. Still they have a modern mindset w/the ability to pre-order drinks so they're available right away between acts.

Restrooms have very reasonable lines for me. But, the womens' lines look like a concert experience. Still, the women I was with had no trouble making it back for the next act.

I sat in the cheap seats, very top row of the gallery. While it was a high vantage point it was still worth the money. I'd image lower levels make super nice viewing.

The performance I saw, 42nd Street, was awesome. While I prefer live performance over screen no matter what the art. I'm not a great critic because I see theater rarely. But, there was no difference compared to what I've seen in Philly. The show was great. And at the price, I'm thinking of getting season tickets. Well worth the money.

Beautiful theater with fabulous productions. In general the staff is very friendly but we always seem to encounter at least one pretentious and condescending usher who makes a rude or sarcastic remark.

Beautiful ! Classy ! Full of life and spirit !!! Highly recommend for anyone

Productions at the Fulton never disappoint!!
Tonight's production of Newsies was full of great choreography, beautiful voices, wonderful acting and lots of energy!
Great job!!

Always great. The cast, the sets, the seating. I'd see pretty much any show they're doing because I know we'll enjoy ourselves.

The cast of once really impressed us. I ve seen once on broadway and if I m giving that a 10 this is a 9. The theatre is amazing. I really wish once was playing longer so I could come see it again. Never know I just might.

I've seen several shows here and it's always great. They even helped the Garden Spot High and Middle school Drama Department with costumes and other stuff when I was in still in school. It's an excellent Theatre and Historical Landmark in Lancaster, which has plenty to choose from, and should check it out if you love Theatre!

Our family recently went to see Peter Pan at the Fulton. The dancing, singing, acting, Orchestra and stage settings/effects are all engaging and stir the imagination. We have seen many productions here over the years starting when I was a child and my Mom bought us season tickets for the children's series (we always stopped at the roasted peanut and candy shack that was around the corner at the time).
The Fulton is a midsize live theatre venue so all but maybe a few of the seats are good ones! For Peter Pan we sat up in the Mezzanine (center) which gave us a very good view. If you want to interact with the cast who sometimes come off stage into the audience and aisles, you will want to sit downstairs. The Fulton has a rich history and beautiful (well maintained) old architecture you do not find in more modern live theatre buildings.
The Hager parking lot is conveniently located across from the Fulton and there are a number of good restaurants within walking distance.
It was really refreshing to find the concessions at intermission are very reasonably priced ($1-$2 for most snacks and drinks) and they take cash or credit. Having 2 younger children, I also appreciated that they do not have a touristy gift shop. They sell a few items but the lobby is mainly a nice place to chat and relax and have a snack or drink or look around at the prints of shows long ago and other historical details before the show or during intermission. For Peter Pan they also set up a family photo op upstairs complete with backdrop and props so you can ham it up and take a snapshot memory.

The place has a lot of detail and value. To go see something there, its worth it.

Beautiful theater & fantastic show... MOMMA MIA!!! Can't wait to go to another show...

The Fulton brings quality stories to hearts in ways that helps them find an expression of their own part in the world.

Wonderful, historic, grand atmosphere. Spectacular performances. The talent is broadway-worthy. It's worth every penny spent to keep such a monument to the arts available to us and generations to come, and to support the talent and those involved in making the productions happen. If in the area, make the Fulton an event on your itinerary -- and I mean "event," as that's what you get with your ticket... an experience you'll never forget -- you won't regret the purchase.

Great community theater. Awesome shows, great staff.

Love this theater the nostalgia just grabs hold of you. The shows are not only great but they keep getting better. The talent here is still reaching its peak. It only gets 4 stars because of the bathroom situation. You may have to wait a while at intermission. It is still worth the wait though.

Well preserved, vintage theatre, Shows are fantastic!

We so love this historic landmark and the local pride is obvious on how clean and well kempt it always is. Our young children also love the family theater and especially look forward to the Christmas season.

Beautiful old theater with a wonderful show full of talented actors and vocalists. We had a terrific time!

I really enjoyed the show seen with my grandchildren and their parents during the Christmas holidays.

Beautiful place and reasonably priced. It's Broadway quality acts in our little city.

Every show I have seen here has proven to be very occasionally done and magnificently entertaining. Well worth it.

An absolute Lancaster gem! Hunchback tonight was phenomenal!

Excellent experience, third time never disappointed

What a fun day! Lunch in the city and a show at the Fulton!

I love the fulton! The one thing I will say is that the seats are close together. So, if you are a bigger person, you can feel a little squished.

My wife love's the theater and takes me with her it was wonderful do yourself a favor see this place

Fantastic historical site and exemplary performance each and every show. Highly recommended.

Extremely talented performers. Quality can vary depending on the show/your interest in the show. However, you will not be disappointed.

Great local theatre. Very good performance of 42nd Street

Show itself was amazing, theater was okay. We purchased some of the last seats for the Chicago show, we bought tickets that said they had a clear view and while you could see the main stage the ceiling overhung so anything above the stage you couldnt see at all. (These tickets definitely should of said obstructed because my husband is 6 2 and had to duck to see much of the show) Overall staff was friendly and bar takes credit cards which is great. Will be back just will ensure we are more selective on our seats.

Well done live theater productions. Something for all ages.

Went to see Peter Pan being performed by this talented bunch. It was truly magical, a must see for this holiday season

Gorgeous establishment, great staff, So much history!

The Fulton theater is always a wonderful experience. I love to go there, I love to take my grandchildren there. All of the seats in the House are good seats and the shows are excellent. I'm never disappointed and often my expectations are exceeded. Thanks Fulton Happy Thanksgiving

I am completely disappointed with Fulton theatre. Tickets during the pandemic were strongly encouraged to be donated. If not, they gave you a refund minus fees. This is unbelievable. We did not cancel going to this show. We would have used the refund to return when it was safe. I will NEVER return to this theatre because of this situation. There should not be a penalty for a national pandemic. I have lost 8 shows at the start of the pandemic and not one theatre removed fees from my refund. Shame on you, Fulton theatre.

quality shows every time! they also have excellent service when it comes to food and beverages!

We had a truly wonderful time at the Fulton! A Christmas Carol was a great holiday show for the entire family.

This theater is GORGEOUS! Really, really beautiful detailed work on the physical building itself. The stage is nice and large, the crew and stage people made gorgeous and innovative set designs, the show we saw was fantastic. I look forward to going back!

What a national treasure located in the heart of the City of Lancaster!

My favorite place to see a show. It's a beautiful place.

Excellent shows. Never disappointed. Very professional actors. It's like walking back in time.

The talent in the show was unbelievable. Seats are comfortable, people were very helpful. The architecture is gorgeous and well maintained. You should definitely see a show here...possibly spend a few days in Lancaster City. There are a lot of nice places to visit.

Beautiful venue and fantastic shows this season! LOVED Once!

Saw Murder on the Orient Express. It was our 1st time at the Fulton. It is a pretty theater and every seat is a good view

Great shows and great actors! I enjoyed every time I visit this place!

A Lancaster tradition! Consistently impressed with the quality of the shows and the amazing talents!!

Performance of Evita was pretty-good despite it being a Local Theatre Company.

It was a wonderful theater with a top notch performance, definitely worth the trip from New York (which says a lot).

If I could post 7 stars, I would. Just left an unbelievable production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Towering sets, top-notch lighting, A-plus orchestra, and a cast as good as any I have seen bar none. Make it a point to visit!

Great little theater. Worth a try. It was the perfect date night with the wife.
