Paw Patrol Live at the Hersey Theater. I enjoyed it just as much as my 3 year old. This is my second time going to the theater first time was around 25 years ago and I dont remember anything about it from the first time. $58 a seat wasnt bad because we were 6rows back and had a great view. It was a three-hour drive just to get there from Delaware but it was worth it.

This place is awesome!!! Its nice and clean roomy the chairs are soft and comfy. The acoustics are great. You can see good from any seat. Loved it a lot. I highly recommend seeing any show here.

An amazing first at a local point! The Hershey Symphony orchestra played “Immortal Beloved” a symphony of songs compiled by Beethoven about a lucid love affair with love. One set was with local middle schoolers who earned the opportunity to play along side the Orchestra for a set. It was a lot more interesting than I first thought. Will be following their moves through the area.

What a great place to see a concert. We saw switchfoot there in 2019. Very cool original historic theatre. Cozy seats, amazingly detailed architecture. Plenty of bathrooms on the different levels a close walk from the seats. Free parking just across the street. A very cool place indeed. Check out a show if you get the chance.

This place is great. The staff are friendly, they serve alcohol, the seats are actually more comfortable than expected. And the seating is amazing, not a bad view in the whole building.

Beautiful place inside and out. The show was fantastic. Jerry Seinfeld. The only issue was there was zero air flow. It was warm before the show then hot in the middle. I heard multiple couples commenting on the same issue as we were all leaving. That being said , going to and leave traffic was handled great by the im guessing fire police got us all in and out of parking lot very quickly and organized. Thank you Hershey Theater for a wonderful experience!

A very nice theater. I will say that its worth the money to upgrade your ticket to front balcony or orchestra. The upper balcony is far and view isnt so great. Stage is nice and sound was great. Saw Once on This Island. A great show, but not well attended for Sat. Dec. 7. Tickets are very reasonably priced. Would see other shows here definitely.

Gorgeous theater with well-arranged and comfortable seats. My third visit for the annual Parkside Harmony Barbershop Society. Fantastic! Its worth a visit just to look around at the vintage European-style theater built by Milton Hershey.

We had a wonderful time at the Hershey Theatre! We have traveled to visit the theatre for several shows now, and the latest was for the performance of Romeo & Juliet performed by The National Ballet Theatre of Odessa, Ukraine. We have have sat in the balcony right side, the floor in row C, but this time we sat in section LOGE C (AA) seats:108-110, which were by far our favorite seats. The view of the stage was excellent, and there were no obstructions in front of us. Looking forward to going back!

Beautiful theater but I wouldnt see another concert there. Security was over the top. No where to dance. Better venue for a theater production than music.

Gorgeous historic theater. We saw the Nutcracker at Christmas time. The adjacent parking lot filled up quickly but they direct you to the parking lot next door. Would definitely recommend seeing a show at this theater!

Just for the parking issues alone, I should give it three stars, but am giving Hershey the benefit of the doubt that they are working to improve it. In its current state (December.2018) it is a nightmare. Too many opportunities to side swipe a car or hit one or more pedestrians. My best advice is to get back row seats and leave during the last few minutes of the final act. You will thank me for it. Also, because of the narrow main lobby, once you are in, dont expect to get back out if you left something in your car, or say, for example,that you have a claustrophobic child with you, because youre swimming against the current. All of that being said, this theater is old and beautiful. If you have the luxury of time, really look for the ornamentation. For a small theater, it oozes with charm. The seats were comfortable and clean. It is a gem in this little town of Hershey.

I was there to see Spamalot but have seen countless concerts and shows there. Always a great place to see entertainment. Easy entrance and exit and you dont have to walk miles to park your car which is a plus.Now to see Jersey Boys which I have to say was so amazing!!! Again returning to see Brit Floyd. Really a great sound. Seen them twice but this show got a little weird at the end. Now I saw Rent. I knew the storyline going in but I thought the performance wasnt that great and the sound seemed really off.

Beautiful theater though seats are older and a bit cramped for most modern sized citizens. Views are good from all seats. Aisles reasonably wide and not too tough to navigate. Volunteer staff were very polite and helpful. Nice play to see a show or concert.

We very much enjoyed the musical CATS ! Seating Balcony center row J. White cat stole the show ever so graceful and always the cat, (they need to change her leggings between acts) Others like Cassandra , with no solos stood out among the company. A pleasurable experience with a genuine sense of musical excellence still a must see production.

My first time at the Heshey Theatre. I have to say...I was expecting an old and outdated interior but I am happy to say I was wrong! The theatre was comfortable in every way. Staff, seating, temperature and acoustics for sound. Id definitely go back for another show!

We watched “Cats” here. Even our seating was fairly close from stage, center of orchestra (J and K), all of out party had hard time seeing the entire stage. Seat was directly behind of front seat. Even front seat lady who taller than me had a hard time seeing, so she kept lean right or left to see better so I had to lean opposite side of her. It was neck breaking. Show was great but this worst seat made hard to enjoy the show. I paid $100 per person to get better seat but it was not.

Went out to Hersey to see “Cats”! Got there early but already there we’re parking attendants to direct us. After enjoying the town we went back to wait in line which moved along rather quickly.The historical theater was beautiful. Enjoyed looking around at the architectural details. Our seats were good in the lower section.At intermission we chose to purchase soft drinks and of course, Hersey candy! There were adult beverages and different chips to buy also. Also purchased a nice tote to remember the show at the memorabilia shop. Leaving the parking lot was relatively easy with so many leaving at once. Will definitely go back again!

We had the pleasure of seeing The Hershey Symphony Orchestras Holiday Spectacular and what a beautiful, breathtaking experience for making the best Christmas memories for life! We couldnt be more impressed, we were in awe with how gorgeous the theatre was, the wonderful staff and our favorite - Santa!! Thank you ever so much for a truly lovely time!!

Review №31

The facility is very neat. The concert so so but it was all volunteers so I cut them a little slack.We enjoyed the Holiday show. In this case it was only the symphony with an appearance by “Santa”. It seems they have the right idea as far as direction for the future. They could use some help with production.It was my first time to this location. Perhaps a later review will give a better overview. I would recommend more than 2 days for your holiday show. You could really make this go in this area with the lack of family holiday concerts over the whole month.

My wife and I are local to the area, and have been to a handful of shows here over the past 15 years. We saw The King and I last night, on tour with The Lincoln Center. It was a fantastic show! Hershey Theater is beautiful too, and small enough to make it a really great experience.

We went to see Willy Wonka this past Saturday. Had a great time. The theater is easy to get to, parking is close, and no long lines.

We are all lucky that we have a place like the Hershey Theater to go to in this region. Ever since I was a kid, Ive loved going to shows here. Its good to have a grand venue for the arts. It excites the imagination and elevates the culture. For me anyway, the magic is still alive at the Hershey Theater.

A beautiful theatre. Great experience seeing the traveling production of Rent at Hershey Theatre. A large, ornate orchestra section but be warned, seats are very tight. If youre a larger person or a tall person a two-hour show may present some difficulties in the comfort area.Parking is abundant but again be warned as it takes quite a while to get out of the lot when at full attendance.Overall great experience and cant wait for the next show!

If you are not caucasian be prepared to be profiled and watched. Horrible experience at the Seinfeld Show. Usher passed multiple times and shined light on me specifically. Never even stopped person in front of me who was shooting video let alone the multiple people taking pictures. I might add Sinfield himself said it was ok to take pictures when he started his act. The only thing different I could see is I was the only black person in the whole show. Hershey is not a friendly place for nonwhites unless you are a Doctor. Thought it had changed, but it obviously hasnt at the Hershey Theater.

We had a good experience here seeing paw patrol live. The security was good and the lines moved quickly. Two BIG THINGS PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW. I and many others did not get any cell service in this building so pull up your tickets before you go inside. Also make sure you read the rules about purse size before you go in they will make you take it back out to your car.

Review №91

Easy to get to, seemed like there was plenty of parking, stunning architecture inside. Only problem was that I couldnt see past the person in front of me to where the comedians were standing on stage - maybe because floor isnt sloped enough? But the comedians didnt move around a lot either. Still a fabulous experience and well worth the hour drive from York.

Review №92

Very nice theater and every one who works there has always been very kind. There is not an elevator so if you cannot do stairs, do not get a balcony or loge seat ticket. Personally, we prefer loge aa tickets as the best seats in the house. They are raised but about only halfway back from the stage. Perfect view with no one in front of you. You can get drinks prior to the show and they will have you purchase a special cup if you are going to take it into the theater with you. Parking can be bad but not extremely far away. Try to get there a bit early to get a good spot. You can always walk a couple blocks to a restaurant for something to eat before the show. Very intimate venue.

We saw the Jersey Boys here on March 3 at a Sunday Matinee. It was a spectacular show with great seats and the Hershey Theater itself is such an historic small theater that has been well kept.

If you get a chance to visit, try to schedule it around a play of your liking. You will enjoy the experience.
