We recently attended Vietgone at the Guthrie and had a great experience. The show was wonderful. The observation deck on the 4/5th floor gave a lovely view of the city, as did the 9th level. They also have a fun little gift shop on the first floor that's worth checking out for little gifts and treasures!

Great theater venue in Minneapolis, MN. The theater brings great theater to the Twin Cities including the classics, reimagined classics and new high quality work like “Sally and Tom”

Does the Guthrie sell tickets to previews before a show opens?

Robert Kaul | Oct 23, 2017
Alex Clark | Oct 23, 2017

Yes, typically the first 5 performances (for shows in the Thrust and Proscenium spaces) are previews and tickets for those generally start at $15. The Guthrie counts the first preview as the opening date though, so the published opening date is the first show with publicly available tickets, preview or not.

Are they serving food and beverages yet? They had no service last July when we went, which was a major bummer.

Joe Allen | Oct 15, 2022
Tom Kusnierek | Oct 17, 2022

They now have a 'soft opening' of a buffet for $35pp before shows. Called Ovation. It's ok, steak option was good, chicken was dry and not very good. This might be a better dining option timing-wise but quality is not what it was. Seemed over-priced to me. There's room for improvement.
