I love the outer upgrades made to the facility. The inside felt bigger from when I visited 13yrs ago. Staff were very friendly. Fast check lines. I felt totally safe. A patron had a medical emergency and were assisted expeditiously without hindering the show or experience. Can't wait to return. Good job all
One of the best movie palaces in the world. Balcony seats have almost no legroom, though but it's the best place to hear the Page theatre organ. Too bad it's not used more often.
Awesome setting and the woodwork and lights are amazing! Old school for sure. Would love to just go look around with less of a crowd.
OMG, the place was amazing. The comedy show was hands down the funniest I have seen Karlous Williams "At The End Of The Day"
Always enjoy going to events here. I am always amazed at the architecture and how well it is maintained. The ceilings are beautifully painted, and there is so much rich history with the Embassy. Access now includes scanning e-tickets on my mobile device via NFC so that helps streamline the entry process.
Excellent seating in the upper section we were in. We saw John Mellencamp. Excellent concert go see him if you have a chance.
Saw Kansas here last week and John Mellencamp last month. What a great theater to see a show. Friendly staff, and plenty of parking nearby. I highly recommend this venue!
We went to see a comedian and had a great time. It's a very similar venue to any city's theater district, just a solo theater. It has a vintage feel and the screen showed some pretty huge names to play there in the future. The tickets online said doors open at 6pm. We got to the line at 7pm and they were just letting people in. It was cold and dark. We stood outside longer than we would have liked to. Once in we had to rush to get any drinks or concessions and the first opener had already started. Not an ideal start. Once the show was going it was comfortable for an older theater. I'm 6'2" and had no issues with leg room. We were about mid way up on the main floor on the left side. I didn't see any instructions for anyone. All seats had a good view.
Nice and small no bad seats! We had front row, might wanna bring ear plugs bass hits hard seats were hard though. Beautiful place! #BuddyGuy was funny and just awesome love a man in overalls! I'll definitely go back!
Beautiful place and great smaller crowd vibe for a concert...only negative was setup for concessions beer lines was too close to each other and only three windows made for long long lines.
