PlayhouseSquare Reviews

Can you really say anything other than nice words about Playhouse Square? The place is very unique. It is an asset and an institution in the city of Cleveland. Many friends from out of town are envious of the facilities and they live in larger metropolitan areas.

The shows are varied. We've seen musicals and comedians alike on their various stages. The staff works to get you in and out quickly, which is appreciated for the most part.

And on top of that, the place is beautiful!

While I wish the seats were a little bigger, that's my fault for being fat, but is fair warning none the less to the larger folks out there. I always try to get a seat at the end of a row so I'm only potentially "spilling over" into my wife's space as opposed to a complete stranger's too.

Fantastic venue! Better than NYC because of easy entrance and exit. Buy the attached parking garage On-line with the tickets and you won't have to hunt parking or walk the street. Safe and Secure. Love the Red Coats, they are most polite and helpful And add to the experience!

Lovely atmosphere. Kind ushers and talented actors. Roomy seating in most theatres and well lit walkways. Handicap restrooms available.

Met my wife here 5 stars. Oh on second thought "take my wife please" 5 stars still. Need live theater. Miss it terribly.

The plays here are fantastic. The venue is beautiful and has great site lines from nearly any seat. I highly recommend!

Largest performing arts center in the US outside of New York City.

A production at Playhouse is ALWAYS worth the trip. The sets are always stellar, cast impressive, and ambiance intoxicating. Put simply, it's just special. Whether it's a Tuesday evening show or opening night, you'll not be disappointed. Treat yourself and a loved one to a fun evening at Playhouse Square at the show of your choosing. Can't go wrong in my book!

Always love coming to the shows down here! I hope they get the construction across the street done soon so the parking is better. But all in all, never a bad time here. Highly recommend.

Always nice to take a walk around the area. Even nicer to take in the Parade of Trees inside the theatre.

Got to see the music of Billy Joel and Elton John! An absolutely stunning show that had me smiling through the whole night. A gorgeous venue and a perfect spot for a great evening. I look forward to coming back to Cleveland for future shows!

Saw Anastasia. Great show. Not for young children. Would have been 5 stars but I felt a little like a sardine.

Elegantly designed from the extravagant 1920. Enjoy plays, opera and musical. Cleveland has really revamped the thether district, so come and support the arts and do a show!

Such a beautiful piece of history. The theaters have been restored and the detail is stunning. So hard to imagine how it was built almost 100 years ago. The staff of volunteers are always great, and the venue is always clean. I have never been disappointed going to Playhouse Square for anything.

Just a classic venue for live performances, unless I'm mistaken this is the largest theater district in America outside of Broadway in New York City. A wonderful asset for the city and the region. I was there on 'date night' for a Joe Bonamasa concert and had a blast! I highly recommend Playhouse Square for consideration for your entertainment dollars.

The staff is outstanding. They are helpful and friendly! I ordered the tickets on the phone and picked up at will call. Be sure to have the email confirmation with you. For some reason they put down the wrong first name but fortunately I had the order number on my email. The venue is beautiful. Balcony seats were a bit tight but had good views.

Very, very BEAUTIFUL place. From the chandelier outside to the architectural design inside. For a newcomer inside that building.... it was difficult to actually find where we were heading. It literally took asking 4 members of staff to locate the show we where there to see. The show was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME !!!! " Marlee who take TWO " OUTSTANDING SHOW !!!!

The reason for only a 4 star is because it was so difficult to find our show and to figure out where we go when we left.

This theatre is beautiful. We saw Joe Bonamasa in concert and the house was packed. Well managed. The seating where we were was cramped, however. We sat in the balcony. Drinks were very pricey. But the theatre staff were excellent. We talked to a lovely woman who was working the seating. It was very easy to get out at the conclusion. Warning: if you have a professional looking camera you will be asked to leave it with security. Cell phones were allowed, just no flash. We will be back.

I hope it would be a lively place if not for Pandemic.
The chandelier is spectacular !!
Nice place to walk, food places around.

Great backstage tour, each 1st Saturday on the month, (with a few exceptions, such as April.) Love the red coats! They did a wonderful job and shared a lot of interesting info.
