Debby Holiday was excellent. The show was over the top wonderful, better than a few Las Vegas shows we have seen. The Theatre is a work in progress but the acoustics were great and we are really looking forward to some new seats. If you miss the Tina Turner revue, you missed the best they have had.

This was my first time attending a concert at this location it was like an old fashioned theater it has been upgraded but still seems to need some work in the seats other than that the concert that I went to see was a tribute band to ACDC called La bonfire they were awesome we had a great time the beers were really reasonable prices and as soon as you walk in you smell the popcorn cooking it was amazing to smell that cuz I like popcorn from the movie theater Im definitely going back they are going to have more concerts in the month to come and the people that work there are very friendly there are a lot of older folks who attended the concert but it doesnt matter because its made it a cool environment didnt have to worry about all the younger crazy crowds u get at other venues.

It was a fun concert BUT the seat are past terrible. One lady almost hit the floor it fell back so far anther one did n they came and taped it off. They served alcohol and several people were getting drunk. I will most likely not return there. It got bad. I felt sorry for the people who were near the intoxicated one. I saw one man laugh and he had beer in his mouth and 3 of the people in front of him got sprayed. Other were obnoxious. If they stop serving booz, which they dont need to do if good programs, and fix the seating. One day I would go back n tell other a good place to go. But as it is I would not recommend it to the local drunk. Just Saying ! ! !.

Im giving this four stars, honestly, out of nostalgia. And hope. This was, at one point, a lovely theater. That time has long since passed. Theres been a few changing of hands in the last couple decades and its now owned by what I believe is a non-profit preservation society. Which is for the best. This isnt an IMAX theater. Its an ooold theater. But old in the best way, with velvet curtains around the screen, crazy comfortable seats and bathrooms so old the lettering is in an art deco font.Ive seen some great movies here: Pulp Fiction, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Dark Knight, and the greatest movie ever made: Raiders of the Lost Ark. (It even had a teaser trailer for REVENGE of the Jedi!) The side building even used to be my favorite comic book shop! So yeah, nostalgia plays a big part here. But it is lovely. And I honestly believe that some day itll be the five stars I want it to be.

Theater needs love and care. Sad to see it in such bad shape. I was there for a school awards ceremony and play. The microphones didnt work and it was hard, even impossible at times to hear the kids. I hope next year they either fix problems or find a new venue. The one bright spot was the pop corn and the man who was so nice to my 2yr. old.
