Michigan Theater Review

Great venue, comfortable seats, good leg room, unobstructed views. Would see a concert here again in a

Beautiful theater. Comfy seats and reasonable prices. Sound quality is good. Clean bathrooms.

The Michigan Theater is beautiful and shows great films. Truly a rare gem!

This is a super cool, ornate, vintage space. The first time you go, you may want to sit on the second level, just to experience it, but after a few times, you will probably want to sit a bit closer to the screen/stage on the main level, which feels equally as cool. Be sure to show up a few minutes early too, there is usually an organ performance before the show starts.

The Michigan Theatre is probably the most amazing theatre to watch a movie in. I ve also seen concerts there and the acoustics are amazing. If you do one thing in Ann Arbor while being here, check out this theatre. It won t disappoint.

Downtown Ann Arbor icon. Catch a movie or live performance. Be sure to explore the beautiful building.

Incredible! What an amazing space...saw Amos Lee here which was just spectacular! He was great! The venue was great! The staff was great! Parking is close and a walk around downtown after the show was great too. The sound was much better than I thought it might be as well for the age of the building.

Watching King Lear live from National Theatre, London was a feast ...hope they can work on the seats that are quite low and on the refreshments counter...was literally served the leftover popcorn with kernels

The Michigan Theater is a wonderful place and a historic gem in the heart of Ann Arbor. The architecture is beautiful, the staff is friendly, and they do a great mix of indie and mainstream movies and events. I love that they play It s a Wonderful Life every December for free, and it s a lot of fun to catch the organ music. This is my favorite theater hands down! My only con is that the seats are small and kind of uncomfortable, but that adds to the historic charm.

Great venue sound was great very comfortable place to watch a show we will be back very good selection of concerts

Had trouble with Ticketmaster tickets but the staff at the Michigan Theater Handled it easily and painlessly for us. Beautiful venue good sound. Limited bathrooms could use expansion there.

Had a blast at Wild Kratts. Clean theatre and friendly staff.

A staple in Ann Arbor. It is a stunning theatre and excellent resource to the community.

Great theater I go here mainly for concerts!! The last few shows I attended were great. The staff is always very kind. I love that people don't smoke in the theater and that it is easy to go outside and smoke. Always a good experience. PEACE

Only been to theater 1. It's a classic theater (not movie theater) seating (low, deep, and wide, looking up to a stage with a screen). Plays indies or smaller releases earlier or more often than other theaters. Screen and sound are fine but not emersive given the layout. Nice options to have given the movies it shows, wouldn't pick it over a more modern theater if both were showing the same film.

I go here every Thursday during the school year for the art school's lectures and I love this venue. It has a lot of seating but isn't too big. Some events are free, and tickets are usually around $9, I think. The concessions aren't too expensive. And it's located down town, where there are plenty of places to go to eat after the event you attend.

Michigan Theater is gorgeous. I wish the prices were a bit cheaper so I could go more often, but when I do go, I never regret it. There's nothing quite like listening to the live organist serenade the audience as a prelude to a Marx Brothers movie.

The detail and craftsmanship of this theatre is astonishing. I could watch paint dry here and be entertained.

A WONDERFUL evening out with my wife, as we saw a GREAT movie, "RBG"! The movie was shown in an intimate theater("Annex?") and the seats were fine, sound at a comfortable level and not over air- conditioned. This theater is a classic place, near the campus and many fine restaurants and coffee shops. All in all, a fun "vibe" permeated the entire time and experience.

A rare gem, this old theater hosts one of the few remaining vintage pipe organs and offers a unique experience to movie lovers like myself. The film series are amazing. They also host live shows and concerts.

It's one of the few remaining original Vaudeville theaters. This place is gorgeous!

Beautiful classic theater with great movie selection. Seats are a little tight for tall folks.

Smaller venue making any seat a good seat. We really enjoyed seeing Weird Al Yankovic here... more than any other theatre we've seem him at.

Nice ,can do, professional staff and employees! M go blue!

The seats are so close together everyone in the isle had to get up if someone needed to use the bathroom.

Love this local venue for smaller intimate shows with my favorite artists!

Absolutely wonderful! We saw the Princess Bride there, and it was fun! Such a great audience!

Love the classic look of the theater and there is always something great going on.

Lovely theatre! Great popcorn and great movies too.

Historic vibe, interesting decor, a bit unkempt, though.

Caught a showing of fantastic fungi in the Annex. Cozy but comfortable with excellent visual and audio experience.

This is a great looking theater and indeed it's like stepping back in time when entering.

We had seats on the balcony and my seat specifically was narrow and had little leg room (the seats next to me were way more comfortable, I found out after the show). The airconditioning (if available) was underperforming.

It's a beautiful theater, but not one I would want to spend 3 hours in again.

Great venue...saw Tori Amos rhere and the sound quality was awesome

It's ok but given it's old layout visibility past the person in front of you is likely to be compromised. Seats are narrow too.

Really like that they offer free movie screenings and sing alongs

I love the historic Michigan Theater and the newly remodeled State Theatre!

It's cute and very old school. They do a great job with the atmosphere. Heads up; if you want to buy a drink you have to also buy this theater club card or something. It's like 5$. No idea why, kinda annoying but it is what it is. Don't lose it because they keep no electronic record of it.

Beautiful theater! I just went there for the first time a few weeks ago to see Colossal and fell in love with the place! Reminiscent of the old school theater experience with reasonable prices. I have intentions of frequenting this establishment as much as possible in the future.

Nice show.. Average at best staff.. no free parking.. was told with an attitude that I needed to be a member to have parking validated.. Nice live organ music before the movie Love, Gilda started.. great movie

My favorite theater in the area. They have the best popcorn and movies that are not shown at the regular theaters.

It is beautiful, the people are very nice. They tend to do a lot of programming with more unique groups like the UM Japanese Society or They Might Be Giants. They also have an organist play 30 minutes before every movie.

Only game in town for Indie movies. Which is somewhat unfortunate once you've been spoiled by a Landmark Cinema.

Proud member of this fine organization. Great films and experiences along with a fantastic, nostalgic customer experience.

Beautiful venue, saw a concert here and the sound quality as well as the venue quality were excellent. Very clean, highly organized, and a kind staff.

This is a beautiful old theater. The seating is outdated compared to modern theaters and there are no cup holders, but this doesn't stop me from enjoying my time there. It's just a completely different experience from a modern movie theater, complete with showings of films that you wouldn't find elsewhere.

Fabulous experience on Friday night. The sing along movies are the best. History of the venue is worth a visit to Ann Arbor.

Excellent lineup of movies! This week highly recommend you see 'On the Basis of Sex"!!! Much respect to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg after watching her story and what she's accomplished so far for women in America.

Wonderful, beautiful, historic theatre. Good sound system. Easy to get to with parking 1/2 block away. Surrounded by restaurants. Unique films and presentations daily. Cheap for students and seniors.

Great acoustics, comfortable seats, highly recommended

Im not much of a film buff but I love catching some classic films here! Also great for the Penny Stamps Distinguished Speaker Series! Just don't mind the sleeping students during the lecture

Historic theater with beautiful decor. Located right downtown, very easy to walk to. Great for indie films!!

Best theatre I've ever been to, there's an organ that usually plays before each film. I also prefer the balcony seating as it gives me a different feeling than looking up at a screen from the floor.

Saw Jaws there. Not too bad but it was more expensive them I thought. Also not as classy as I heard it was. Nice Organ before the movie and introduction to this Movie series by a Rep. of the Theatre. I won't go outta my way to go (it was a 45 minute drive). Actually I have more fun at my normal theater. Not bad but not too special.

Beautiful inside and out. We were here for a Jane Fulton Suri presentation and couldn't stop gazing around at the architecture. This pianist (pictured) elegantly entertained us until the presenter came onstage.

Beautiful Historic Location. Great staff and concessions

Had a great time, the membership to buy drinks kind of caught me off guard but it's cool.
