Rochester Broadway Theater League Review

STEELT DAN and his Band were AMAZING. BUT we were sitting on the right if you are looking at the stage, the two young Security people were talking most of the night loudly and that is all you could hear, pay alit of money to see Steely Dan. And no one wants to listen to them chatting..please be mindful of that Thank YOU

Fantastic venue, offers amazing values in the shows they bring in. The staff is always pleasant and helpful. 2019 - 2020 season is highly anticipated by my wife & I. Thank you RBTL.

Actually a rats nest of intolerant fake churchs or rented halls for gay phobic congregations that ran the local lgbt organization out of the building

We love having this off-Broadway option in our city! Been able to see a lot of fantastic performances, like Hamilton. Next year, Dear Evan Hansen! My only gripes are that the seats can be a little uncomfortable after two hours or so, and the sound sometimes leaves a little to be desired up in the balcony, but I am unsure if that is the fault of the auditorium, or of the performing company's sound system. Not sure who really takes the blame for that. Hamilton's sound was perfect but during School of Rock we couldn't make out any dialogue for the first half at all.

General notes: The bathrooms can get miiiighty backed up at intermission, but the ushers in there are great at hustling folks into empty stalls.

The stage and lights are always perfect, and honestly, the sign language interpreters are fun as hell to watch!

Food and drink are fairly reasonably priced, and they take cards.

Parking is decent, we usually use one of the surrounding lots and never have to be there more than a half hour ahead of time, even for Hamilton. They do offer prepaid parking in their lot to subscribers at $10/show.

It would be nice if some tickets could be more affordable for lower income families to be able to expose their kids to these shows. Theater is for everyone!

All in all, I love the Aud and the staff is always great. It's a treasure right here in our city that I'm happy to see so many taking advantage of.

Always great. Historical place. Great seats no matter where you are and great staff. Wish the bathrooms were more accessible though. But understand why not.

It is one of the best places to go to see somthing live. There cookies are heven there pretzels are sooooo warm they have cups of cheeze the bathrooms are nice to. Also this place is so fancy i love it

Great show and beautiful old building. But, I don't think we will be back for another show at this venue. The seats were just too uncomfortable for a three hour show, and tickets were not cheap. We had front row mezzanine so we had a little more leg room, the people behind us complained the entire show about being unable to move, I sympathized as they had less room than I and I felt like a sardine with two normal size people on each side of me.

I love seeing shows but RBTL can be frustrating to wheelchair users. The only accessible entrance isn't the most easy to find or to use, especially in crowds. Additionally, in order to purchase accessible season tickets I was required to call the box office rather than ordering online like everyone else which is not equal access at all.

On a brighter side, I love that when I need to use the bathroom the RBTL staff moved people out of my way and got me to the head of the line so I could use the accessible stall. Given that there is only one accessible bathroom, I truly appreciate that I was given priority in using it, especially since the other ladies could have used any of the bathrooms in the auditorium.

An old and ornate venue. Nostalgia brought into Century 21.

Considering that we were watching a performance of Hamilton at the Wharton Center in East Lansing, MI, I can't day much about Rochester, NY

Seats on the floor could hear fine, but balcony seating could barely hear the show

There for RBTL presentation. Audio of actors too low compared to orchestra. Lost much of the dialogue.

Went and saw a show and it was delightful, been here a bunch of times. It is clean and charming. The ladies room was also clean which is always nice in a public place. Enjoy going here, only downside is that the seats are close together and feel like you are right on top of the person next to you. Doesn t stop me from coming back for a great show.

Amazing place to see a live show. Drinks were a bit expensive, but still a great night.

Nice theater, parking can be a pain in bad weather due to poor snow removal.

Seen production Seen Yen. Was wondering when good. Seating area need more leg room.

A Bronx Tale was very entertaining!! High energy, all group dancing was remarkably coordinated!! Given different heights of people, it was fantastic to see such unison in movement - something the group should be very proud of. All the hard work is evident!! The singing was also excellent!! Loved it!! Congratulations on a great job!!

Great time with the family. The staff was awesome, and clean bathrooms always deserve 5 stars.

Really a great place to a show (Hamilton). Loge seating was awesome. Bathroom situation is not great for the ladies.

Always enjoy the shows here. Beautiful ambiance though i would recommend close isle seats for children/shorter adults as there is not a great deal of "rise" between rows. Overall, an enjoyable evening- Cirque Dreams Holidaze was a fantastic show for all ages!

Saw "Summer" the Donna Summer Story It was a very nice experience. Seating was set back in the theater but there were no problems seeing the entire stage. First time at a show and overall the theater and experience were great.

Nice theater with very good acoustics. Doesn't have many bad seats, but some seats can be tight even for short people (below 5'6"). Overall theatre is very nice and pleasant to visit. Parking isn't terrible, but it isn't free so that's unfortunate.

Broadway plays at Rochester prices; how can you beat that! Beautifully restored old theater that is easy to get to, lots of cheap parking, restaurants two block away at Village Gate on Goodman St and the area is safe in the heart of the city. Well-staffed performances. We are frequently flyers at RBTL performances!

Beautiful theatre with lots of great shows! I saw Hamilton there recently and it was such an amazing experience. A friend of mine got a season pass and said it was definitely worth it. Sound and seating are really good, even for cheaper seats.

We've done the Rochester Broadway Therater League for 2 years now and have signed up for a 3rd. We don't regret a moment of it - we've tossed back well-mixed drinks, noshed on lovely and varied food selections, and seen some top-notch entertainment. Even when everyone didn't love it, everyone was TALKING about it, and we all expanded our theatrical palates. Delightful through and through.

My friend has season tickets. What a great experience and the volunteers that work there are super friendly and helpful. They actually love being there.

Great venue for shows and concerts. We don't need another. And keep your spending local

It was not RBTLs fault that the cast of Rent was lackluster.

Great show awful parking. If you have a handicap hard to get in and out of

Great venue to experience Hamilton! Amazing how quickly they got us gals through the ladies room at intermission.

Awesome staff. We went there with a special needs child and the staff could not have been better. We all had a great time. A big thank you to all of the staff there. The show was as awesome as well. I recommend it to everyone.

Went to see Hamilton here. Great show! Theater is nice, the staff works hard on getting people in and to their seats. Ushers were professional and courteous. Great experience!

The team at RBTL is AMAZING and the Theatre is captivating!!

It's a beautiful old building with outstanding craftsmanship from many years ago. They have a decent sound and light system. Beverages available I think on every level. A nice place to see a show. Plus we have their own parking and another parking area adjacent to the theater

The entertainment is always a pleasant experience, and I am amazed at the audio system. Perfect...

There is nothing like an old art deco theater. Its a shame they want to build a new PAC. A shame

Refurbished auditorium highlights original architecture... not a bad seat in the house! Great shows! Very helpful personnel...

I love this building! It has such character and irreplaceable details and accents that I can't imagine them wanting to try to build something new. The seats are comfortable in terms of upholstery, but too narrow for most modern Americans' personal bubbles. The theater is a nice size which allows for every seat to have a good view. The ushers are friendly and helpful. Thank you for providing an important part of the cultural fabric for the city of Rochester and beyond.

What a great theater and show. The ushers were amazing, refreshments were fairly priced and the ballet was spectacular. A wonderful show for every age level to enjoy.

Warton center is always amazing with a good mix of talent that rolls through here. Sometimes it would be nice if they didn't repeat plays, but Hamilton was a good mix for this venue and glad to see it hit East Lansing.

The plays and musicals that come here are all amazing and they do a great job. The auditorium itself is on the older side but everything is clean, works well, chairs are comfy, and they serve drinks too. Highly recommend even though is gets croweded, but that is to be expected.

My husband and I travelled from Buffalo to see RENT here. The performance was awesome! The venue itself was beautiful! Clean, well kept and all of the staff/volunteers were very friendly!

Saw The Lion King it was great the seats are a little rough on the back

Great traveling shows in an updated old theatre. So happy to have this in town...

Went to see the Chicago broadway show. We had a great time.

Love it as always. Great production (Jesus Christ superstar)

I loved this place. The show was fantastic. The ambiance was amazing. It was clean. The people were wonderful! 2 thumbs up!

I haven't sat in a bad seat yet. This time we saw Come Far Away up in the third balcony and still had good view and could hear everything. Bathrooms are located up there and a snack and bar.

SUMMER... Absolutely phenomenal... Would go again to the next show if I didn't have to work tomorrow
