Great venue for grand and intimate performances alike! Glad to have this gem in the community. I so enjoyed the Mental Health Awareness Concert over Easter weekend. Three Altos, Dead Horses, and Them Coulee Boys all gave stellar performances.

Wonderful spot! Amazing local performance as well, I’ve been out to shows in Chicago and the cast here rivaled the casts I’ve seen there.I paid $40 for my ticket to be three rows from the stage and it was well worth it! This place is a true “Steel Magnolia”

Love the space. Seats are not large but enough room for most medium sized people. Pretty good bar with decent options, even a few snacks. Views were good from our mid balcony seats. Love that they are doing plays, concerts, and classic movies.

Such a beautiful theater. No better place to have watched Postmodern Jukebox! And even though we were up in the very front in the folding chairs, they were well-cushioned and comfortable. Looking forward to a chance to go on a non-school night so I can try some of the drinks.

I saw the Wizard of Oz at the NorShor Theater. The theater itself is great. The seats are comfortable, the ambience is wonderful, there is a bar for drinks. The production was outstanding. The actors were amazing, the set and costumes were thoughtfully created. Highly recommend!

An amazing job restoring this theater to its original beauty. I highly recommend visiting this place.

Went for the Duluth comedy festival on 2/16. I really enjoyed the show and the theater itself is beautiful. Pleasant staff and quick, friendly service at the box office.

Very nice theatre to see Steel Magnolias in. The bar was a very nice touch for intermission, seems the view would be great just about anywhere inside, I will say the chairs were not comfortable, however the sound and ambiance in the building was very nice. Bathrooms were clean, staff was very polite and the show was great!

Absolutely gorgeous and friendly employees. Amazing venues and performances. The building is historical. It was recently restored. It was originally a theater.Then became a club.It is now so classy.With its new restored glory. Its a must see. Right downtown Duluth on Superior ST!

One beautiful theater. Im glad the city invested in restoring this landmark. Id love to see more musical acts perform here.

The Wizard of Oz was very a enjoyable evening of theater. If you have the chance, you should be sure to catch this show for a fun evening with Dorothy and her companions as they take theyellow brick road to Oz.

What a memorable experience, what a beautiful historic preservation!!! Highly recommended!!! Beatles tribute band was fantastic and I am guessing that there is not a bad seat in that place! Going back!

What a gorgeous theater.Great acoustics.We were row C in the balcony great seats.

Really cool place, lots of fun

This is a great venue for plays or musicals. I dont think there is a bad seat in the place.

Beautiful trip to yesteryear. The seats are jammed so tight together that there is no leg room and the cupholders cut into your forearms. After a theater matinee it averages 40 minutes or more to get out of the ramp. At least your car is protected from the elements. Its a little nerve-racking walking past the sleeping homeless people in the skywalk though.

The renovation was amazing. The prices on drink are a little high, but I Definetly will visit the theater again.

I was very impressed with the NorShor. This is a great place to catch a show of you can.

LOVE this place. Brilliant shows. Gorgeous decor! I will always come back! Photo from GREASE!

Beautiful recently restored theater! Stadium seating throughout makes every seat have a great view of the stage. Concessions has a good selection of beer and wine along with other choices, though limited food options. At some productions you can pre-order your intermission drink, which is great!

Ive only been to the Classic Film Series so far. Its so fun to see old movies in a theater, especially an historical one! The presentation beforehand and discussion after are entertaining and informative.

Assuming you dont have a time machine, this is the next best thing. Get dressed up for a night out in the historic, NorShor Theatre. And make sure to order a second drink that will be conveniently ready for you at intermission! (my favorite is the smokey old fashioned)

Great early 20th century theater with a nice refurbish. I think it sits about 600. Nice entrance and bar area. Well designed.

Beautiful place, great artistry. Amazing the restoration

The renovation is very classy. Refreshments are a little pricey, but its not the usual fare either. Toasted nuts and liquor. We saw quite a few old movies there as part of the monthly movie screening. Had a wonderful time.

Amazing theater. Great sound, the refurbished look is great.

Very cool venue. Not a bad seat in the house!

Beautifully redone, elegant, snack bar with drinks and cafe tables available before shows, a little expensive but awesome performances.

Steel Magnolias was fantastic! Great performance by a great cast of ladies!!

My son and I went to see Beauty and The Beast (an early Christmas gift for our son). The old theater atmosphere is really neat. The play itself was wonderful. The singing was outstanding!!

A very clean and friendly place to be at.

Love this place, love the actors and actresses, the pit, backstage and costume and state people. If you are looking to be transported to something/someplace amazing and feel all the feels, then you need to see the very next production done by this amazing team, as well as their other branch through the duluth playhouse and underground theatre.

Had a great time and went to a play there

What a great facility for live musical events!

Disappointed. Went with high expectations, to see On the Waterfront, a classic film from 1954. Loved the restored theater. But where was the popcorn? There is no popcorn. The seats were ordinary stadium type seats with no give for moving ones back backward at all. The film audio was so loud it hurt our ears and we had to leave 90% into the film, missing the ending. $9 for wine and the wine glass was about 30% filled, not much more than you get for a sampling of wine at a restaurant. The hot pretzel was kind of a joke, a couple of small bites not a real pretzel. The movie was at 7pm but at that time three men got on stage and lectured us on the movie for about ten minutes--- seriously just start the movie and talk about it after it is done for those that decided to stay for a film history lecture.I was at the Norshor back in circa 1985 (watched My Life as a Dog then at the theater), and it was a real movie theater experience with popcorn and other traditional movie snacks and without being held prisoner to a lecture when the movie was supposed to start.I wanted it to be a great experience but The Norshor lost us as a repeat customers. We will instead opt to just keep going to the traditional theater with dreamlounger seats and traditional and a greater variety of snacks.

A fantastic renewal. Ive been to several different stages of this place and finally theres one that gives legitimate hope of NorShor revival. Looks good and sounds good. Hopefully we can get some decent acts to play here and it lives for many years to come. Though I did enjoy when it was a bar back in the late 90s. I think....

This place is beautiful! The staff is so amazing we had a small complication with our seating and without hesitation they fixed it immediately. Great place to check out

Great play! Talented actresses!

Love the rehabilitation, brought back memories of my high school days. Disappointed that they dont serve popcorn. Snacks and drinks available are $$. It was $17 for one cup of warm cashews and an 8 oz coffee with Baileys.

Great time! Beautiful theater

We, three of us, two with walkers, laughed and enjoyed the play last night. However there wasnt even a single path shoveled when dropped off at the entrance. I asked for a shovel as it was extremely difficult getting over the snow bank.It would be wonderful if a drop off space was shoveled.

Great venue and great place to have in Duluth.

First visit to this venue, not my first to see Puddles Pity Party. Personally thought that the venue was a bit small for his wonderful act. Lighting could of been better. As a person who is in need of accessible seating, the location of it was good, but getting through the building to it was not easy. Not sure if I would come to this venue again.

Great theater! Great acoustics! Very classic design. Beautiful interior. Good seats.

Beautiful theater and a fun production of Beauty and the Beast! We took advantage of preordering beverages to be picked up at intermission. What a great service...no lines!

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL performance of Beauty and The Beast last night. So good!! HIGHLY recommend all to go see this while its here:)

Absolutely beautiful, renovated theater! The Duluth Playhouse has presented marvelous, professional theater productions that we have always thoroughly enjoyed! Parking is available at the public parking ramp on 1st Street and you can walk through the skywalk directly to the theater which is wonderful in winter or inclement weather!

Beautiful theater. The two murals in either side of the theaters interior walls makes the space and whatever you came to watch feel very special, historic even. Mixed drinks are ~$10, which fits their quality: Vikre gin, quality vermouth, etc. Seats are very comfortable. I saw the Opera. Unfortunately seats averaged $60, but I got a student ticket which was $15. At the latter price, my first in-person Opera experience was well worth it.

Amazing place where magic happens

Parking is an issue. You either have to try to find a spot on the street or park in the Sheraton hotel parking ramp but other than that, its a beautiful place. The productions are top notch.

A gem for Duluth to cherish. Quality community theater thats more than fairly priced for what they offer. The space is stunning. Just attended a wedding there, it was the perfect venue.

I usher here. Recently saw Wizard of Oz

Great place to see a show!

Beautiful place, decent bar, OK seats though I could have used a little more leg room. Letting someone get through is a major disruption, even for two small people. The comedian even asked if there was a problem after all of the commotion, rearranging, and apologies.

Saw Sweeney Todd with my bestie. What a beautiful theater

Historic downtown DuluthIts an ever-changing place

The NorShor is a Duluth classic. This new incarnation is better than ever. Newly restored with modern amenities and updated sound and lighting rigs. It will be around thrilling people far and wide for another 100 years!

Have been there 3 times for different productions. An outstanding venue. A bit high priced for adult libations. But nice none the less.

An evening spent in an art deco environment. Truly lovely. Had a wonderful time sipping a beer enjoying Puddles Pity Party in great surroundings.

Great to have the Norshor refurbished and open. Not a bad seat in the house. Acoustics need some attention, but a fun place nonetheless.

Love what they did to the place restoring it like it was originally in our cities beautiful history. Prices fair for an authentic experience seeing real live theatre like no other in area.

They did an amazing job restoring the theatre... its beautiful and would be a perfect venue for any special occasion. I saw Momma Mia and the play was fantastic!

Theyve done a really nice job on the remodel. The place looks fantastic and the old movies are so fun to watch!

Based on the audio at the Low concert this would be a 5 star rating however when I arrived the front doors were locked and I was admitted into the box office (not the grand entrance which was locked) by a hesitant and skeptical door person. Although I had a ticket reserved in my name, the ticket person admitted they had given it away. There was not apology for this mishap or recourse offered. Why would you give my ticket away? Why are all the doors locked? Is security really that big of an issue in downtown Duluth?

Its so, so beautiful. The sound quality is excellent and there isnt a bad vantage point in the house. The seats are small and a little uncomfortable, but I suppose it adds to the authenticity of the restoration.

A STUNNING community theatre! This space is a nod to the past while moving towards Duluths future!

It was so nice to have a concession bar right outside of the seats. Will call line was great. Security and attendants were also super helpful and friendly. Seats were comfortable and decore was a great mix between modern and classical. We had a hreat time.

Beautiful venue, great stage and sound system, though vere limited concessions.

Great Theater we saw Cool Hand Luke and it was amazing environment to see the classic. Highly recommend visiting.

Beautiful new redone theater

Nice to see it fixed up. Seats are small

Excellent entertainment, professional acting, great atmosphere, great view of stage.The bad thing are the seats. SQUASHED. No room for legs. Sciatica was hurting. I cannot sit in them that long. Had to get up and stand.

Beautifully refurbished. Great shows,

Hard to find box office...unmarked door next door to main lobby doors. Theater restored beautifully. Good sounds, good view of stage. Great opening show Mamma Mia!!!

We had such a good time.

My wife and I loved norshor theaters rendition of sweeny todd. Great actors and great singers. Spot on! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good datenight with your partner. The venue is beautiful and prices are great for the quality of show that norshor theater supplies. Love it!

Plays are amazing the cast are always on point and the backgrounds are crafted amazingly

Great, historic theater in downtown Duluth!

Old theatre that has been completely refurbished, wonderful plays and other events

It has been remodeled wonderfully! Saw Beauty and the Beast, very well done!

Beautiful restoration of a special building. A new skywalk from the parking ramp behind the Sheraton is awesome! The flavor of the theater has been preserved. The seats are old style but comfortable, and the bar is veru conveniently located on the way in. Oh seats have cup holders, how very American . Highly recommend attending a show there.

It is such an awesome facility. Weve been to many plays there since they opened and plan on many more.

Love it cute theater. My only complaint was the price of the drinks and snacks for tje amount you where given

The renovation is beautiful - I know in time the shows will get better, excited to check back again!

My girl and I went to see a show (Beauty & the Beast that was put on by the Duluth PlayHouse and it rocked. Definetly going back again

Nice restore and renovation done on it

Liked it better when it was a strip club

Great venue to watch a show. Looking forward to my next visit.

Awesome new location for the Duluth Playhouses main stage. Gorgeous and modern.

Great venue!

Went to Mama Mia which was great. It was nice to see the theater up and running again.

They did a good job restoring it.

Did a final punchlist just before they open. As the electrical engineer responsible for its design, I can say for sure that the people of Duluth are going to love it.update: construction photos

Renovation well worth the visit!

Amazingly done renovation. Great staff, lovely building and rehearsal spaces.

What a thrill this historic landmark has been renovated so beautifully! One of Duluths treasures!

Great upscale experience, the ushers were really helpful, and the seating was comfortable.

Wonderful. We are so fortunate to have this theater.

We had a wonderful time at Don Ness Shows Off Duluth. The atmosphere of the Norshor combined with our areas talent gave way to a great night.

Love the classic films at the Norshor!
