Rialto Square Theatre Reviews

Beautiful place, wonderful people and a great show!

Great venue to see stand up comedy or musical acts. Smaller type theatre that allows you to be up close to whoever is performing. Not a bad seat in the house! Historical old charm right in the heart of downtown Joliet.

Went their for a business meeting on real estate / business was not disappointed but I wish they were a bit more informative then trying on selling a product by shoving down your throat for 40-1:30 did receive a. Book and CD tho will read them after I finish my programming books tho

I liked this place since it is not that far from my place. However, I just found out that baby under two years old need a ticket to go to an event too. Very surprised since most of the places don t require that. Like a baby is gonna take a seat and understand what s going on.Not to mention it is to hard to get an answer from them. first I asked here and no response. Then I emailed them to find out if baby is allowed they never respond. Finally I had to ask in msg in order and it took them a week to find out. And I always have to ask before they get back to me.

I went to a Yanni concert in October 2017, it is so beautiful, I enjoyed my visit. The only downfall was the construction going on around the theatre, so I had to look for a parking spot near the area, but it didn't ruin my experience, so I'm not taking any stars off.

Beautifully preserved old theatre with a calendar full of great entertainment.

Always a nice to come too and that star wars days come there.

Beautiful, luxury Theatre a lot what to see and make pictures..

It was nice coming back after so many years. We went to see tusk. They need to do a better sound check. The music was louder than the singers.

Great show BUT since tickets had seat numbers we didn't get there real early.....found out gen administration... why have assigned seating on
Tickets!?

Beautiful theater. Seating badly needs an upgrade though, painful!

This place looks amazing. Was here for star wars day.

Awesome venue makes for great seats no matter where you sit. It was my first time there and i was blown away by the architecture and rich history. I'll definitely be back! Absolutely loved it!

Building is in great shape. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

Very nice in side it kind of looks like a old fashion play house

Our favorite place to see a movie or a live show. The interior is beautiful!

This place is closing don't book anything you might loose your money

This is a great venue to see live performances. This is an older theater with classic ornamental decor. They do not have stadium seating, so your view may be a little obstructed if a tall person sits in front of you. The lighting and the sound are also very good. The theater is well kept and clean and the staff are helpful and courteous. Parking is available near by in outside lots as well as an enclosed lot about a block away.

I've visited the Rialto many times in the past for shows, Star Wars day, etc but this was my first rock concert at this venue. The building is always a show in itself, and I can never stop myself from looking around and taking in the beauty of the architecture. The staff was great! The venue size and design makes every event feel very intimate. Drinks and snacks are a bit pricey, but not as bad as other venues like the United Center. The building could probably use another bathroom, but the design is understandable due to the time period it was built in. The parking garage is just a short walk across the street. Overall, The Rialto Square Theatre is one of my favorite places to visit in downtown Joliet.

Historic building and theater, I saw Hairball Rocks concert 80s cover band. Sound in this building was amazing, staff was very nice to us Old Rockers of Metal. Cool place to see a small band or play.

Nice sized theater where every seat has a great view. Excellent acoustics for a concert. And there is free parking all over the area. Lita Ford still rocks!!!

The Rialto Square Theater is one of Illinois treasures. I remember it from childhood seeing Christmas plays and musicals during school field trips. As an adult I now admire the beautiful building surrounding amazing performances. The whole area around the theater is beautiful as well. Love all the local business and food!

Iconic staple in the Joliet area! If you have never visited, please add to your to do list!

Always friendly and I feel every seat is a good seat.

This a great venue to see shows of all types. The acoustics for music shows is great! Not really a bad seat in the house. You can see the stage from anywhere your seated and being a smaller venue it's a more close up experience. The old decor inside is beautiful to look at.

Very cool theater but not enough bartenders. LOOOOONG damn lines to get a beer, a little ridiculous, get some more beer tables set up!

Reminds me of theaters of the past but great condition

Beautiful theater with helpful, friendly staff. Saw Theresa Caputo here and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Loved this place as a child and still do today. They are such a wonderful location to enjoy shows

I did not appreciate being accused, NUMEROUS times, of recording the concert when all I was trying to do was get clear, focused pictures! Especially when numerous people were recording the singing!

Temptations and Four Tops did their thing! A really nice night out at the Rialto Square Theatre!

It's beautiful and there's not a bad seat in the place

My husband say a Jimmy Buffet cover band there. We had a blast. They have a very nice lobby area where we had coctails and appetizers. The view was great from all the seats. The acoustics were great as well. It was easy to get too although the parking availability wasn't real clear.

Very nice and intimate venue with no bad seats in the place even the upper balcony highest row has very excellent views even from the sides and accoustics are grade A. The only downside is it is a smaller venue so seems more crowded and not much leg space between seats if you are over 6 feet tall which the row in front of you digs into your knees otherwise you have an inch of clearance otherwise it woulda got 5 stars.

The Rialto has the most beautiful design and details in the interior of the theater that I have ever seen. The lobby is almost a block long and looks like a European palace. But, the best part is the seating and the sound quality inside the theater. There is not a bad seat - from the front to the back and into the balcony. Easy parking and great restaurants within a block. Go to Chicago Street Pub after the show for a live music act.

Great little venue. Helpful nice people. My seat was very narrow. I don't know how a larger person would sit there.

Beautiful old time theater, from the time theaters were gilded palaces. Enjoyed live comic there. Sound & line of sight excellent from our seats on the main floor. Only negative is old time seats were a bit small & legroom was limited.

Beautiful theater. Small seats because they fit the original theme. Bathrooms are outdated. The lobby area gets very cramped pre-show so plan to go early to get drinks because the lines are long. Otherwise it's a great place to catch a small show.

Shows we seen here have been awesome, Magic Show, & Food cooking show Jr

BEAUTIFUL! Friendly staff. Great shows at decent prices.

The Rialto Square Theatre is breathtakingly beautiful.

Rialto is NOT...closing. Most beautiful theater around. Book a show!!

Architecture, History, and some my fav artist have performed there

Beautiful theater. Plenty of parking right across the street. The sound was great but I only saw a comedy show so I can't say how a band would sound. Overall great experience.

If you have never been here to see a show. Go while its still there

Went on a tour here. Very beautiful place! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly!

Such potential for so many kisses nds of performances. Exquisite decor

It's a beautiful theater that I always enjoy going to.

Great place to see a show. Small theater beautiful decor.

What i saw saw was an aw. As i sat in a seat my feet began to eat some snickers i can tell as swell... uh oh i fell

Staff were very friendly, finding parking is simple, inside is gorgeous

Very Elegant and original theater, went here for the Junnie B and Harriet Tumbnam plays. Fun time!

This was an event outside of the Rialto for dog, cat, pigs, rooster, goats, and other animal adoptions. Lots of people brought their pets. The Rialto itself is a very nice venue and features music, comedians, magicians, etc and is awesome!

Beautiful theater, they don't make them like this any more! Super convenient parking garage right across the street, and lots of restaurant choices in the area.
