This is an interesting place with a long and - ahem, colorful past. The lobby and front end have been extensively renovated. They bring in a variety of talent that isn’t found in the large venues. Most recently we saw and heard Linda Eder in concert. The weak spot is parking...there’s a very small lot in back but that’s all. Plan to get there early and plan on street parking.

Very charming little theater at the very edge of the Virginia Peninsula, near Ft. Monroe. The actual theater is small with very small seats close to each other. They had five local breweries present, and if you buy the sippy cup, you can drink anywhere in the building, including the theater. The people where very nice and accommodating. Pictured is the Virginia Bluegrass and Brew Festival with Summer Brook and the Faith Mountain Band which performed on Americas Got Talent.

Throughly enjoyed the show, The Jazz side of Aretha Franklin, featuring Desiree Roots. The venue was clean and ushers were friendly. The theater is relatively small so you could see from any seat. My friends and I were down front and I thought the music would be too loud, but it wasnt. Desiree Roots did an excellent job singing Arethas jazz songs and the band was excellent also. Will definitely attend other events there and look for other opportunities to see Desiree Roots.

I loved this venue! We drive from Raleigh to attend the Jane Monheit concert and loved the theater. (Hated the show, but we are reviewing the theatre.). We will definitely come back, and hope we get a much better show. Very quaint with comfortable seating.

Another Hampton TREASURE hidden in plain sight. Not a bad seat in the house. Saw Jennifer Holiday perform and she still has those Hugh Vocals . The parking is challenging but not enough to make us not want to come back.

A lovely small theater (less than 400 seats) that provides an intimate performing space. The staff there were some of the nicest people I have ever met. They may my first visit at the American Theatre one to remember.

Lovely theatre to see a concert.

Ronda Vincent and the Rage Bluegrass for over two hours. Great band and of course the Queen of bluegrass. With Dan Rife and Sam Bridgman.

Great plays. Get you tickets on line. Enjoy the show

This is an intimate venue with comfortable seating and a modern lobby area. Drinks and snacks are available at two concession areas.

Great arts venue! Always worth the trip that I make from Chesapeake!

Excellent venue I will return again lovely parking could be better but all I know excellent

Great performance by Linda Eder. Nice renovated theater

Great show, spectacular customer service, and timely entertainment reflecting the genious of our

Loved the theater just a little small. David Sanborn Quintet was great but I wanted to hear some of his songs.

Loved the play and the creativity of the performers. Audience participation was good.

Cute little theater. Great place for a good time with the family.

This is a wonderful little theater in Hampton which brings many great artists to the area. The last time we attended to hear a Hampton Roads Philharmonic concert which was wonderful as always. I also, never miss the Buddhists monks making their mandala in the summer. The prices for shows are also very reasonable.

Love the old theater. Restoration was a good thing. It historically worthwhile.

Arm rest row B center STILL missing. Its been more than six months now..even an old piece of 2x4 would be an improvement people.The sand painting was impressive.

Wonderful show, CeCe Winans performance.

The theater itself was OK the play that I saw the music was good however you could not understand the lyrics of the song because the music drowned a devout. The singers and actors had excellent voices but they could not speak over the music and they did not articulate. The story was excellent but I spoke with 5 other people that were sitting around me and they as well could not understand the lyrics

Actually was there to perform for a Hampton Unity Award ceremony. We were greeted nicely and throughtly accomdated by the stage manager, light & sound crews. Then I, as director of my group, became a member of the audience. Comfortable seating, excellent stage view, pleasant surrounding. I will and have enjoyed performances in this theatre.

The American Theater is an awesome spot to see live music! It is small and gets you right up close to the act. They have an eclectic show schedule so theres something for almost everyone.

This theatre has to be one of my favorite theaters to attend events at. It is very clean, the staff is very helpful and friendly. It is a very nice place to enjoy an evening with your spouse or also with your friends and family. I will never miss an opportunity to attend an event here. Thank you for being a part of our community !!!

Cozy, inviting venue. A diamond in the rough. Coupled with an excellent late lunch at the nearby Point restaurant made for a great days outing.

Great place to get an intimate feel at a comcert or play!

The little theatre made the Capitol Steps comedy group really enjoyable. Ill definitely be back again when the intamate setting will enhance the experience.

This local theater may be small, but , its as good a entertainment venue as you will find anywhere. I have attended performances here for years and have loved all of them.

A small, comfortable, intimate theater. An outstanding venue that offers surprisingly varied performances.

Easy to get to and easy to park! Excellent show- so much fun!

Air Conditioner inadequate. Seating extremely uncomfortable. Renovations needed desperately.

Always great shows

Nice and quaint venue. Saw Molly Ringwald sing jazz. Walking distance from local restaurants on the Mellen St. Small parking lot or park on the street.

Nice, intimate space....but either the sound system or the sound controller was not good.

Saw Marc Antoine and Marion Meadows perform..Amazing for both.

Great Jazz & a nice audience. Really good acoustics!

This is a lovely venue in a quaint location. Its wonderful to see a place with such a long, rich history kept alive. I look forward to attending future events here.
