This theater gets alot of good acts and has many good seats. Parking can be a pain getting in and out and lacking legroom in many seats but being a smaller theater even the "bad seats" are pretty good. If you want a way to see great shows locally then check it out.We have watched numerous shows here and not had a bad experience yet.

Not a bad seat in the house! The bathroom situation really needs some work though. Try and sneak in before the show and hold it until you get home. The lines during intermissions are insane and very unorganized! I've seen mom's with young kids in a panic because they didn't think their kid would be able to hold it while they wait in line.

Wife and I went to Shen Yun this weekend! We went for cheap seats which were in the balcony area. View was pretty good even though we were up high. Seats were comfortable. Acoustics were good. Bathrooms were gross and had to wait for a long time during intermission. Bar set up on the ground floor did not have enough room between the stairs and bar so it was super crowded and hard to walk through. Very poor set up. Enjoyed the performance a lot but the theater needs a makeover and better use and planning of space. Security was surprising w metal detectors and guards. Apparently, they are not supporters of the 2nd amendment even though the theater is located in a high crime ghetto area and people routinely get robbed. No info on their website about any restrictions. Parking was $8 which wasn't to bad and easy to access the building.

Jesus Christ Super Star was an awesome performance!! I enjoyed the changes that were made to "update" it. I've enjoyed the music and the way Jesus' story is told in this manner since I was about 11 years old.
THANK YOU RBTL for bringing this tour to Rochester!!

Beautiful theater. Gorgeous place to spend time indoors enjoying theater and the arts. The auditorium is sizeable. The balcony has a good view and the second floor is nice. There are tables to sit at, outside of the balcony space on the second floor. The carpet is a nice color with pretty designs on it. The architecture inside and out transports you to another time.

Nice place. I've attended a variety of events there. My biggest issue is with the seats. They are super small and crammed together. There's practically no leg room. If you're a tall person, purchase a seat at the end of an isle. Other than that, beautiful auditorium.

The shows and staff are wonderful. No fault of the staff or venue, but when season ticket holders push past to get to their seats, even though there is plenty of time, it's annoying. I am also a season ticket holder and I also know where my seat is. I don't find it necessary to literally push others out of the way to get to my seat.

Very beautiful and historic theater. Because it is old the seats tend to be small for the size of folks these days. The sound system is very good. No problem hearing all of the music and actors. Our seats were toward the back on the main floor, but the sight lines are good.
One problem is the staff. I understand that many of the ushers are volunteers, but they are generally confused. Not usually helpful. They are generally nice though.
This is the only place to go for touring shows and the RBTL does bring in a nice variety for Rochester. For that reason i will be back as I have been many times.

Omg pretzels and libations for my Canadian friend? Bottled water for me? Pizza with pizzaz and snacks that knocked my socks off! This venue has the friendliest staff, a sound that is spot on, for music afficiandos like me. I was impressed. I'm from the Buffalo region ; with plenty of excellent venues, like Sheas Performing Arts Center. This venue is right up there! For quality of sound, and great house service, my Gov't Mule show( Nov.2016) was spot on. I hope you, get to experience this gem for yourself.
