Great place to see a Show, Comedian, Off Broadway Play or Musical.. Small Venue.. Great Acoustics.. Comfortable Seating.. Good stage views even from Mezzanine and Balcony seating.. Only downfall is because of size refreshments are little pricey.

Saw A Magical Cirque Christmas here and it was wonderful. The show fit perfectly in this cozy theater. The staff is fantastic, the bathrooms are clean and available on both levels, and the theater itself is beautiful. The seating is a bit tight with little leg room to speak of but the seats themselves are comfortable.

Cute little theatre. The seating is quite tight, less space than an airplane. Im 6 180lbs but fit ok. Feel sorry for the taller friends. Came here to see the Vienna boys choir.

Great Small Theater... Clean. but it astounds me that they do not allow people to use all the exits.... But what do I know. We had seats all the way in the back and had a great view.

Great venue in Binghamton. Completely underutilized by the City and local promoters. Used to get a fair amount of top shelf musicians there. Saw Jerry Garcia there back in the day. Tedeschi and Trucks more recently. But that was still like four years ago. Both shows were sold out. They pack the place every year for the Warren Miller ski film. If you see something on the bill that looks interesting, please get off your couch n go!

We always enjoy seeing shows at this quaint theater. Even though it may be smaller than others, you have a good view anywhere you sit. Parking is close by and easy to get in and out.

Relaxing and comfortable places! A wide variety of productions from local ballet to touring off-Broadway. No problem with the parking lot, easy access. Most of the places are clean, with enough bathroom, music is not too loud. I enjoy the experiences, and im looking forward to visiting here again.

Went to see The Sound of Music last night and it was fantastic! The cast was incredible and all sang beautifully.For handicapped, tall, or heavy people...the theater seats are a bit tight and some heavy people around us were not able to fit comfortably in their seats having to sit at an angle to fit. My boyfriend is 63 and had to sit with his knees open because of how close the rows are. There is not really any handicapped accommodation other than the space behind the last row in the balconies and the restrooms while there is more than one they dont have many stalls. Arriving there was a line of about 15 people at the lobby restroom that has only 3 stalls and at intermission there was a line at the bathroom on the balcony level of about 30 people and that one had 4 stalls. No complaints from me at all, just observations. It is a beautiful older theater and I will most definitely be returning soon.

Presents a wide variety of productions from local ballet to touring off Broadway. Clean and comfortable, plenty of bathrooms, good accoustics, interesting architecture. Parking can be tricky. But I especially love the old fashioned marquee!

I attended the performance of The Nutcracker. It was my first time there. I loved it! I expect to be back many more times.Biggest downfall was the ladies room line, but they accommodated for that by a long intermission.All told a very enjoyable afternoon!

The venue is beautiful, and conveys an old world dignity. We heard the Philharmonic playing music of Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev and it was an extraordinary experience.

Very nice venue. The seats are a bit squished. The balcony seat had a good view of the stage. It was a bit impeded by the child in front of me sitting foward in his seat. The sound was not too loud and some of the dialogue was a little too soft to hear. The staff were very helpful and willing to help. Beautiful inside.

Lovely theater, great acoustics. I know it was built many years ago, but the handicapped seating could be better than just sitting behind the back row.

Loved the show, Nutcracker and the staff were FANTASTIC! My 2 yr. old granddaughter needed a break and they directed us to a room, where we could watch the show and she found a friend. The seat are way too close for someone who has long legs, but all in all we had a great time.

Not a good place to see a show. The seats are too narrow and too close together front-to-back. The rows are also not staggered enough. I spent two hours craning my neck to see around the guy in front of me, with my knees in the back of his seat.
