Nice theater, but seats are uncomfortable

Rebecca “Moss” Brannon

Sep 26, 2022

I accidentally brought a pocket knife, and they were kind enough to hold on to it during the performance instead of sending me back to stash it in my car. The space is perfectly intimate so that even being in the back row didn't feel like a nosebleed. I look forward to seeing more terrific shows at this nice live theater!

Saw Hair today, done by the house theater company Phoenix. It was incredible!!!

The theater is absolutely beautiful. I went to see Little Feat in concert. The show was great. The sound was muddy. This could have been the sound engineer or the acoustics of the building. I think it was the former. I would love to see a play here to really get to judge the venue.

Do the excessive ticket service fees apply when tickets are purchased at the Count Basie box office?

Este Ban | Sep 28, 2018
Cynthia McCann-Rich | Sep 28, 2019

Always go to their website and look at the seating chart for the show you want. Call the box office and tell them what seats you'd like. Smaller fee than Ticketmaster, and they'll either mail them or you can ask them to keep them at the Will Call window in the lobby. If you donate at certain levels, you'll have presale access, and avoid phone fees.
