Seats are comfortable. Sound system great. No bad seats in main theater. Havent been in the other theaters. They have valet parking but we used Spot Hero and got cheaper parking a block away. We noticed a large crowd after the play waiting for their cars. Lots of good restaurants located near the theater.

Cool little theater. Very small, but kind of cozy. Theres not a bad seat in the house, although I do wish the seats were a bit further apart. Not a lot of elbow room.

History, is in every inch of this space. I would love to know more of the history here its something I need to look up. I was lucky to do some work here after a fire. But just seeing the building inside , took my breath away with the imagination of all of the things that have taken place here. Cant wait to go back when it reopens.

The theatre is easy to find, @North and Halsted across from Steppenwolf. Smaller theatre means all seats are good. I was emailed that I could get Will Call tickets 2 hours before the show but when I arrived, I was told tickets werent ready until 1hr before. Not a big deal but just an annoying inconvenience to have to return because staff did not want to help. He didnt even take my name to check. Small concessions including white claws and M&Ms!

A great performance! It felt like I was in a Catholic school classroom with a nun. She was quick witted, very interactive with the audience...her class...funny and great at remembering her students (audience) names. You tow the mark in her classroom!

Intimate theater on the second floor with an L-shape. The acoustics were good, assigned seats comfortably but be prepared to climb the stairs to get there.

While on a long weekend to Chicago we attended Miracles at the Royal George Theatre on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Play was excellent and spoke to this lifelong Cubs fan. Theatre was wonderful. Excellent sight lines. I don’t think there is a bad seat in the house. Great spot to see live theatre. You can use their valet to park. We used SpotHero and got a garage space a few blocks away.

A relatively small, intimate theatre. There is not a bad seat for viewing in the house. The comfort level of the actual seating is average but it feels very roomy and there is more than an average amount of leg room. Coat check and valet parking are available. The bar serves drinks including juice, soda, and coffee as well as a couple of snack items. They are pretty strict about not allowing late comers into the performances until intermission.

Love the seating. Nice pitch to the seating so you dont have to worry about someone tall sitting in front of you. Nice small venue, so every seat is a good seat. Good sound quality.

Saw HoHo Bingo at Sunday matinee. Good retro show of Catholic grammar school days. Show was in upstairs theater, pretty cramped, seats could be spaced farther apart.

For a medium sized live theater venue, Royal George serves nicely. The seats are comfortable and roomy and the sight lines are good.If there is a negative its the sound system. The show I saw was a musical (Miracle.) it was hard to hear the actors over the band even though they were miked. Its possible that it was OK in other parts of the house - which again speaks to the sound in the venue. When the actors were speaking all was OK.

An exceptional evening enjoying the play Miracle. The theatre staff were friendly, engaging, and helpful. Check-in was swift and painless. The facility itself was laid out well with surprisingly roomy aisles and seats and good sight lines all around. Accoustics were dead on with music and actors via wireless mics easily understandable. I suggest SpotHero for close by parking one block away with simple and economical in and out access. Wonderful play at an exceptional theatre.

Intimate setting lends itself to theatrical bliss. Red velvet seats, ample leg room and surprisingly loud sound system.We saw The Woman in Black, please see this if you can. Two men and a ghost command your attention and draw you into this chilling tale is a wonder to behold.No glitz just pure, raw talent that will haunt me forever.

Review №26

Up-to-date place with a small but decent bar (no tequila option, sadly). Bathrooms were nice and the seats are clean but without drink holders. Maybe thats more movie theater than theatre.Either way, solid small space that really makes you feel close to the stage no matter where you sit.

Went there to see Bible Bingo. Its set in a very small theater seating probably 30 at most. The show was OK, but not hilarious. Audience participation is a must, so if youre not into that, you might want to try something else.

Miracle the Musical was mediocre. However, the cast was down right awful! Unfortunately, you are judged by the company you keep. Stop hosting awful productions. Not sure Id attend the Royal George again for this exact reason.

Great intimate setting for the mid size theater. I know they have multiple venues under one roof but on my visit I only saw one theater. Show was great, one time and entertaining. I would recommend the a Rosenkranz Mysteries show, great fun.

Looking for a great way to spend an evening at the theater laughing and drinking? Look no farther. Upon entering you are informed drinks and snacks are encouraged. Who knew that was an option at a musical. My Mom miss heard the other option of Bible Bingo and some nice young men let her know what was really said. Musical starts and we laugh seeing she was talking to Queen George and Aaron Burr sir! This is a steal for the low price in such an intimate setting. Run dont walk.

Great place to experience Late Night Catechism. More of a stand up comedy act than a play.

Review №69

Great venue for smaller shows. Very comfortable and cozy, as all of the seats are close to the actual stage. The only gripe is that some of the rows are at the exact same height as the seats in front of it, so people may have a difficult time seeing over the patrons seated in front of them...

Saw Late Night Catechism here. The audience was full which really added to the quality of the show. This is a one-woman show but she was excellent! A word to the wise, dont show up late. You will be instantly a part of the show. Sitting is a little tight but it doesnt seem to matter because the show is very engaging.

I went with a group to the Royal George Theatre to see Late Nite Catechism. The theatre was absolutely perfect. The show had all in our group laughing the whole way through. If your Roman Catholic youll be able to relate to so much of whats in the show that it just makes you crack up. I look forward to the next time I get to go back for this production thats how awesome it was!
