Nice place to catch a play. Better to get midway seats as compared to the high top ones we got. Place is fairly small compared to other places but still recommend somewhere in the mid range for more comfortable seating.

Nice theater. Enjoy shows here but the concessions area is a terror! A facelift with better accessibility is long overdue!

Well, we finally got here and the theatre was so beautiful. I have never seen anything like it. Our seats were in the balcony and we could see just fine. The ceiling with the moving clouds was so awesome and the theater surrondings were gorgeous. It was so awesome to get all dressed up, It almost gave us a feeling... More

Lovely venue for a fantastic performer. We did not like that they continued to serve from the bar DURING the show as people continued to get up and down throughout, plus some of the guests were drunk and a little rowdy. The show was amazing, though, and we really enjoyed seeing Ms. Krall perform live in such a fantastic setting.

This is a great place to see Broadway plays and other high quality entertainment. We say "Million Dollar Quarter" there in April and thoroughly enjoyed it. Seating upstairs was totally satisfactory and the quality of the performers was outstanding.

I saw The Gypsy Kings at the Majestic Theatre in April 2013 and what a show! The music was wonderful and sounded great, but the best thing about the whole night was the incredible theater! It is the most beautiful theater I've ever entered...and I live in a city with the oldest theater in America (Dock Street Theater)! The only... More

My boyfriend and I walked past this theater, which didn't look significant to a passer by. We heard that Spamalot was playing that night, within the hour! Just for the heck of it, we went into the box office to see what they were charging for tickets. For the price of one ticket in Buffalo, NY, we both got to... More
