Rialto Square Theatre Reviews

Such a beautiful and well kept theater. I have came here for multiple classical music concerts, I saw Jerry Seinfeld this past summer, and went to my brother's Christmas performance at this theater. They do such a good job decorating the theater and prices are not too expensive either.

It's a beautiful theater. Hopefully it can hold on through this pandemic

Beautiful, historic theater. Not a bad seat in the place

Beautiful theatre to see a dance recital in. Free public parking makes it even better!

My favorite theater for any performance. Absolutley beautiful, with amazing acoustics that really don't have seats that would be to far away. Parking is very close and reasonably priced. Staff is mostly senior volunteers who are very kind and helpful. Bathrooms are clean with a lounge area inside. I have watched many musicians, comedians, and magicians. All performance were easy to see and hear. My only complaint is the physical chairs. They are so uncomfortable and tiny in size. Everyone sits slightly twisted in their chair to have a little shoulder space or you will be touching the person next to you.

This place is gorgeous and full of great history. Rated one of the most beautiful in the country! A must see! The seating is also conducive to see the stage well.

My friends got married here. It is a beautiful venue and the service was top notch

Absolutely beautiful atmosphere. The show was very well done and all of the Christmas decorations were beautiful and couldn't have been better.

Was there for a wedding..Everything was done beautifully. Food was excellent.

Ok the realtor number one is so beautiful! Secondly Went to go see Nelly last night an it was amazing he did his thing. So much fun crowd was great his opening act j Brown was wonderful the environment was fun friendly an so wonderful! The lighting was great sound perfect just such a great experience. My only complaint was the old security guy if he was even security he was like a seat vale person, but he was rude Ill mannered. Mean an very cranky I m 8 months pregnant I asked him to sit some where else cause the where I was i kept falling on the step in the box seat tripping not once but twice! With my ligaments stretching I m in a lot of pain today from having to catch myself he got really rude an told me absolutely not. Then at one point literally saw him get in a ladies face screaming at her as tho she was a 7 year old child. She had to be at least mid 20 early 30 I wish someone would. Very unprofessional an did not care about anyone. Aside from that tho it was a wonderful time an beautiful place an Loved seeing Nelly!

Beautiful Theatre! Not a bad seat in the theatre no matter were you sit. Good sound system. Everyone that works there very nice and helpful

Saw John Crist in Joliet and it was the most Hilarious show ever. The Theatre was very nicely organized and clean. I definitely would recommend seeing anyone live as it is mid-size theatre that was sold out and very comfortable seating.

The rialto is alright. Parking is convenient, water is cheap enough. Small bathrooms with long lines. Seats are fine. I enjoy the small theater and it's close so I'd rather go here than rosemont.

Beautiful inside, helpful and friendly people, no bad seats.

It's beautiful ... it's listed as one of the 10 most beautiful in the world.

Acoustics at the Rialto are the best! That, along with its incredible beauty, make it my favorite venue. Also nice is the Joliet location - easy to get to with few traffic issues.

Beautiful building. Not a bad seat in this place and the acoustics are perfect.

It's a great place to see shows. We always have enjoyed anything we've seen in this theater. It's smaller but it's close and convenient. The building itself is beautiful and acoustically it's a nice venue.

Really beautiful inside great events would definitely go again

Beautiful theater. Old & elegant. Not a bad seat in the house either

What a beautiful venue! The staff was super courteous and the place was amazing! We went for Irish traditional folk group Gaelic Storm. Only small gripe is the vocals weren't loud enough to fully understand all the dialog.

Beautiful. Shown to us by a volunteer who loves the historical theatre

Amazing theater, but the seats are cramped so if you're tall, try for an aisle seat.

It is very beautiful and I hope Joliet always finds a way to keep it operating.

Absolutely beautiful theater! Very close to available parking.

Go there every year see Its wonderful life
.

Loved this theater.It was beautiful.Would came here again for other shows.

This historic venue is a must visit. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

Probably the most attractive theater in the midwest.

Beautiful setting, wonderful nice volunteers and great shows. What more could you ask for?

This is a great venue. Just a good old fashion theatre experience. Parking is excellent, access is easy and many nice little pubs surrounding the place. What's disappointing is the fact that they just don't book enough events, but when they do it is a pleasurable experience. I recently saw The Brian Setzer orchestra doing their Christmas extravaganza. What a great night!

This is the most beautiful theatre I've ever been inside in the U.S. Volunteer staff are very friendly, and most of the shows are great.
Problems. Even with tickets you get stuck waiting outside to get in.
The lobby is crowded and hard to navigate.
THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH WOMEN'S BATHROOMS AND THE WAIT IS RIDICULOUS.
Because of these issuer, if you want to get to your seat by showtime, you need to be there an hour in advance which is ridiculous.
Finally, they need to do a better job of vetting performers. We saw a performance of the Nutcracker in 2018 billed like it was a professional ballet company, but the talent was recital level. We left at intermission after having paid over $125.00 for 3 people. It was really pathetic.

The theatre is beautiful. The architecture is amazing.

My daughter was graduating from Rasmussen College so I did enjoy it very much

Sisters graduation! Beautiful occasion, beautiful location.

Great place for entertainment. Beautiful building. Felt like we were back in France

Didn't see a show here, but my sister and I stopped by while doing a scavenger hunt. We loved reading the plaque outside to learn a bit more about the building, which is beautiful.

Love seeing shows there. Quick parking in and out. Classy theater with ushers that are super helpful.

Shows are always better than I expected. Theater is beautiful.

Beautiful theater! Being a Monday night, not many choices of nearby places to eat, the few that were open, filled to capacity. We think instead of only having snacks available inside the theater, they at least could offer a couple sandwiches.

I recently saw Finding Neverland at the Rialto and I'm so happy to see plays, musicals, concerts, and other family shows being performed there again. It's such a beautiful space and a true gem in Joliet.

I always love coming to this beautiful theater! I've been here many, many times. Its wonderful that Joliet has this type of entertainment. Everything is always clean and the volunteers are pleasant. They host a variety of plays, music, stand up comics and more! I hope to see more local music mondays!

Beautiful place and excellent place to see a concert

Great place to see anything. Small setting. Beautiful building.

Older space, however, tge ambiance is second to none.

Love this place! Nice theater to see a show and the people are always helpful and friendly! Alice goes out if her way to make us feel welcomed!!
