Historic building. Lovely theater. Newly renovated. State of the art. Various levels of seating for your viewing pleasure.Not too hot or too cold. Temperature is JUST right. This is always a concern of mine.Full stocked bars for the adult beverage of your choosing. And snacks as well for noshing during intermission.Several entrance/exit doors accommodate entrance and departure of patrons.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful theater. First time attending a performance here. We saw The Jersey Boys. This is my 5th time seeing this show. Ive seen it in Chicago, Vegas and now New Orleans. The cast was superb!! Totally enjoyed listening to all the amazing music. Im looking forward to attending more shows in the upcoming season.

The Saenger is a beautiful theater with a great staff and plenty of street and garage parking nearby. It features orchestra and balcony seating, with no boxes (that I could see.) They could probably do with more bathrooms (the lines were unmanageable during the intermission of our sold-out show), but there are plenty of concessions stands, an easily accessible bar, and a VIP lounge. The acoustics were nice, the seating is in keeping with an older, traditional theater, and the simple numbering scheme makes it easy to find your seat. I dont live in NOLA, but I hope I have occasion to go back.

Such a beautiful place! Seen Rob Thomas and it was so amazing. Im in a power chair and as soon as the band started people stood up and I could not see. I had to maneuver to the side so I can see the band but other than that this place was great. It was comfortable and easy to get to everything. I cannot wait to go to another show here. Hopefully I will be in a better place to see from my wheelchair. The sound was wonderful and the staff was extremely nice, Helpful and polite.

The most amazing place ... Look at the photos and see the old world style of Nola!

Beautiful venue! We sat in the balcony and could see and hear everything great. We would for sure go back for another concert.

I visited here to see a weekday evening performance of Wicked. As far as theatres go, it is pretty standard, but the decorations make it even better. The entrance to the ladies room is beautiful, and the Greco-Roman sculptures throughout added a sense of class. I particularly liked the ceiling in the actual auditorium--it had sparkling lights to imitate the night sky.

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The venue was clean and i really loved the ornate decor.

A beautiful venue! I attended the theatre for the musicals Wicked and Les Misérables. I also attended the theatre for a concert. For the three times I have visited the venue, I sat at different sections and had no problem with hearing whatever was occurring on stage. The ceiling is really gorgeous and painted like the night sky full of stars. The ushers have always been kind and never had a problem finding my seats.There is a nearby parking tower that caters to the events at the theatre for $20. Or if you want to save money, park a few blocks away and walk.

Wow! What I liked the most about this theatre was the theater itself. Incredible! While you are inside the theater you’ve got the feeling that it’s an open air theater, and you get transported to somewhere in Europe could be Italy of France.. It’s was amazing.

What can I say about this legendary theater that has been beautifully restored since Katrina damaged. Saw a comedy show there the other night and staff and comfortable seats and good sound made it a wonderful evening. But the theater was breathtakingly beautiful. What a treasure for the City.

Wicked was phenomenal. Even at the top, I could see and hear clearly. The edifice has much charm. I didnt like the flow of traffic during the intermission: very congested. Plus, after standing in lines, many items were out.

Historic, beautifully crafted sculptures, vibrant beautiful colors, well maintained Theater. Very personable and helpful staff. They basically cater to the peoples needs in the theater. Just a lovely atmosphere & a great place to watch shows in downtown New Orleans.

Went to see Criss Angel last night here. (And obviously his show was AMAZING) But this is about the theatre. The place is absolutely beautiful!!! All the detail work is absolutely astonishing! I mean if youre into that kind of stuff of course. Wish I had the pictures on this phone but unfortunately I do not.

I am very disappointed in whoever is running this place. I went down there in March and purchased tickets for a show that ended up getting rescheduled for next year. I have tried calling weekly hoping SOMEONE would answer the phone. I have emailed them weekly but they come back saying they cant be delivered. Its really disappointing and I wont ever go to any shows there in the future if this is how they handle their business

Great venue with a retro feel. This place was restored and is in excellent condition. There also seems to be a great line up year around. Ive seen 4 shows here and have always enjoyed it.

Iconic, historic place to see a show. Such a wonderful experience. Something you have to do with the family at least once every couple years. But the prices..... Good lord. It could be 50% cheaper and we still wouldnt be able to do it more than a couple times a year as a family of 5.

The theater was absolutely gorgeous. Very satisfied with the acoustics. Didnt seem to be a bad seat in the place.

This place is gorgeous. Had a great time here. Its not too big but big enough. NiN was amazing here.

This theater is just amazing. I’ve seen Phantom of the Opera. And I’ve been to concerts here. The acoustics were better than most places I’ve ever been.

Its been a long while since Ive been, but one of my favorite theatres, hands down. Sadly moved out of LA, so it will be a whole before Ill be able to visit again, but I had a lovely conversation with a man who worked there.

Show was incredible! Saenger staff were mostly good. I was vastly surprised by the lack of communication regarding this metal detector and TSA mentality inspection at the door. This should be clearly advertised to be expected.As a New Orleans native, I wasnt terribly surprised to see the increased security and metal detectors.... I can live with that, but wanted to be sure to tell management that info needed to be added to the website... I WAS surprised by the mouthy disrespect at the front door!!! It was appalling compared to our theatrical experiences in other cities.After my guy had to leave back to the car to put away his pocket contents, two people told me dont complain to me I insisted they had a manager they could inform patrons about this security... and that the info should be posted on the website... I was pointed to a Mr Daniels, after his team started getting all mouthy about how this is New Orleans - I pointed out that I was also raised here, and raised to communicate respectfully and not make excuses for my lack of communication... instead of just plain apologizing for the LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE at the front gateHowever the staff at the other locations (other gate, bars, etc.) were much more professional and service oriented. All in all, I do love the theater... I do hope that they learn to communicate expectations more appropriately on the website.

Ive been here for several different musicals now and its such a beautiful venue. The balcony seats are a bit cramped but I feel thats pretty on par with most theaters. The orchestra seating is fabulous though. Its absolutely stunning inside!

The Saenger has been around a long time and it didnt disappoint. It is still beautiful inside. Saw the Jersey Boys and they got a standing ovation!!!

Absolutely love the Saenger!! The hospitality, the amazing architecture, just everything about that place was outstanding. I always look forward to going and watch a play because that place brings the play to a whole nother level. Other than the prices for food and drinks, i cant find anything that i dont like about the theater. I cannot suggest going and watching a play more here!! Please please go! You wont regret it!

I love this venue. In my experience, the staff does a great job of getting the guests what they want/need in a timely and friendly fashion. The shows are great, staff is friendly, and it stands as an icon of entertainment to the great city it’s held by.

Saengar is one of the opulent old theater houses of New Orleans. Anchoring Canal St, you can catch any of Broadway Across Americas line up here. (Season passes are available for those who cant miss a thing.) Parking is extra and should be purchased with your ticket. Beware the construction on N.Rampart for the trolley cars.

Always a pleasure visiting this place. From the moment you walk in you are transported back to classic Hollywood era. Marble floors and ornate details, classic and fantastic. We have seen Finding Neverland and Rent and both times we find ourselves in awe. One of my Rent tickets wouldnt scan, they directed me to the box office and the staff member quickly printed me a new one and we were in the door in no time.Hope to go back soon for another show!

I came here to watch So You Think You Can Dance, American in Paris, and Rent. It is a beautiful theatre with columns and European style structures. The ceiling is filled with stars constellation and it creates this dreamy look in the theatre. They have a lot of shows that I like and the theatre is clean. The staffs are helpful as well. The men’s bathroom is hard to find and I end up having to go up and down the stair before I can find it. There are several parkings all around the theatre - you just need to pay about $25 and walk a bit. Overall, I love this theatre and I will definitely come back to it.

Such a beautiful theater! This is the only picture I took, but it is absolutely stunning and not a bad seat in the house.

Beautiful place... comfortable seats...roomy

OMG! This place is absolutely beautiful! Im not sure New Orleans citizens realize what a gift they have! Theres no part of it that isnt just spectacular. And I was completely disappointed to see that people actually threw trash, food, etc. all over the floor as if this place is a discount movie theater! More respect should be paid to this NOLA treasure.

Such a beautiful theater. I enjoyed the twinkling stars on the ceiling the most.

We had great seats, the venue is beautiful, the bartender was super friendly. I was stopped by a man as I ventured to the left floor balcony statue.

The theater was beautiful. We could see and hear the show from our seats in the balcony very well.

Decent legroom. Lots of helpful and friendly staff. Prices for concessions are less than a movie theater. Very beautiful building. Also the sound system is great and the AC is adequate (but common in old theaters) without freezing you.

Came here to see Evanescence live, and this theatre was jaw-droppingly gorgeous! The entire thing floor to ceiling is unreal, and the sound quality was phenomenal. Its super convenient to get to, and the staff were awesome! Cant wait to come back to another concert here!

Rebirth + Nathaniel Rateliff = AwesomenessGreat venue......bring a jacket....the A/C in here works great!!!

Wow! This place is absolutely magical! Memories had here that will last a lifetime. Beautiful inside and out matched with friendly staff.

So Beautiful & AWESOME atmosphere! I went for the first time to the Diana Ross concert! I felt so awed & astounded by the beauty and history of the place.

I had a laughable encounter with the management, unfortunately, but they were wonderful. Southern hospitality at its best!! If you guys are reading this, Im sure youd remember the crazy Canadian last St. Patricks Day. You two were angels that night!

Very nice place, beautiful decor. Show was great. Drinks were pricey but nothing unusual for this type of venue.

We loved the theatre!!! We will definitely be returning & also purchasing yearly passes!

One of the prettiest Saengers around, love the architecture and the twinkling stars on the night sky is beautiful.

Amazing theater. We sat on the floor seat about 16 rows back and the sound and views were amazing. Will definitely be coming back. Concession and merchandise available before and during the show.

Still so very Beautiful. Just saw Wicked. Everything was A+

Good concert venue. Saw Nine Inch Nails perform there.

I was at the Saenger to see The Color Purple. Awesome show. Great performers.Being at the Saenger brought back memories of when I was a teenager 40 years ago and sold concessions for the movie theater. A beautiful building still. The statues are the same beautiful statues. The star ceiling still amaze me. I love the Saenger Theatre.

I visit the Saenger all the time. I absolutely love it. Its gorgeous and the staff are very friendly. Ive never seen a bad performance here!

Went to see Cinderella. The music and dancing were awesome. The costumes and details were very well done. We really enjoyed ourselves. The theatre itself is spectacular. Its beautiful. Its worth the time and money to go.

Bc they had DIANA KRALL, I overlooked all else. The unfair problems with ADA reservations. The $40 parking behind the theater you are pretty much stuck with if you need wheelchair access. The side entrance they say is ADA, but not if you need will-call. The lady at will-call that wasnt friendly nor expressed gratitude for spending $176. Not being able to catch Diana backdoor-waiting an hour so a 12 yo fan could get her songbook signed. The non-ADA concession counters, and no offer of help. The barely ADA bathroom stall. The theater is gorgeous though, like being in Rome. The lighting effects on the musicians and stage--awe-inspiring (maybe that was Diana & co.?) And did I mention, DIANA KRALL? The best, dreamiest, jazz pianist and vocalist youll find, plus her guys--together, they dress up the Saenger, and that is saying something. Go see her here. Or anywhere, really.

Beautiful venue! Love every visit to the Saenger Theatre.

Nice theater. It was completely redone after Katrina. There are good plays that come to this venue.

The most beautiful music venue Ive ever been to!

Been here over a dozen times for shows. Always great!

The renovations to the theater are beautiful. There isnt a prettier venue in the city. However, for the high seat prices, i expect a better experience. The staff doesnt check your ticket to access the floor so many people were stealing seats. It was a constant distraction from the show. Lighting is decent but sound quality is sub par, at least from the orchestra

Pretty nice theatre. Acoustics are great in most areas. Bathrooms and traffic flow are less desirable - but almost every theatre is like that! You should go - just save your brass knuckles and excessive imbibing for another day... A shout out to the security team that puts up with nothing️

It was straight out nice & hilarious for the Boogie Cousins Comedy Show. The Saenger was very clean, staff was very helpful.

Great venue...great show!

Beautifully redone and restored!

Historic theater that was recently renovated and brought back to its orginal glory. Sound and ambience were incredible.

Its surprising how many locals dont come here for shows! We have a local gem of a theater right here!

Beautiful, not a bad seat in the house. Outstanding performances. Looking forward to seeing Wicked

We saw Evanescence here. The Theatre is amazing. Beautiful in the theater and the lobby.

Beautiful atmosphere, perfect ambiance, great acoustics, and not a bad seat in the house. Tipper was amazing!

As usual great aesthetics great service and the best venue to see a Broadway or any show

This theatre is amazing!!! The limestone work is brilliant along with the gold trimmings along the ceilings... And the starry ceiling is breathtaking!!!... Went to the moscow russian nutcracker for the first time as well as the saenger... Had a great time... Definitely going next yr...

Saw the Hip Hop Nutcracker and absolutely loved it. There really is no bad seat in the house.

Beautiful when I visited as a child, still beautiful today! Not a bad seat in the house. Acoustics are fantastic!

The prettiest of all the Saengers! I saw Phantom of the Opera here, and it was amazing.

Beautiful very old theater. Aways nice to go see something incredible there.

One of the best rooms in New Orleans for music or comedy.

Best theater in the city! Awesome sound!

The Saenger Theatre is historic and beautiful. I love seeing shows there simply to admire the building. Seating is comfortable and not to cramped. The beauty of the theatre will surely add to your experience at the Saenger!

This was a wonderful show. The characters were lots of fun. You definitely want to see the show.

Amazing, I went to see Star Wars with the live score with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. Amazing venu for a truly wonderful experience.

This theater is such a joy to visit. From the aesthetics to comfort of seats and visibility wherever you sit, its an amazing experience!

This theater is pretty and has solid acoustics.We had mid balcony center area seats and they were perfect for the Star Wars in concert featuring the LPO.Ive yet to catch a touring show here, but my partner has season tickets and goes to a lot of them. She thoroughly enjoys the venue.My biggest complaint is they sometimes allow Ticketmaster... Which pretty much doubles ticket prices.Either way, catch a show when and if you can!

Beautiful place and an an amazing show!

Beautiful venue. Had a blast.

Beautiful theater. Came for Price is right live.

Great show.I wish more of the lineup of the musical were as uplifting and fun as this one was

Beautiful theater. The acoustics are amazing. Great experiences take place here.

It was an absolutely amazing experience! If you havent been inside The Saenger it is a must see.

The restored Saenger is an absolutely stunner of a venue. It is perfect for close intimate acts. Old classy style just cant be beat. Go go go to the Saenger.

Beautiful theater. Drinks are offensively overpriced!

Great venue! Not a bad seat in the house

Beautiful setting, phenomenal play! Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was out of this world!

Hope they can reopen in 2021

What a beautiful building! The inside was really amazing!

Classic feel from the outside. The inside is very extravagant looking. The place was opened first in 1927, which is pretty incredible. There are two entrances, so if the line is long in canal street, head to the second entrance around the corner. They have concessions similar to a movie theater with a full bar as well. The concession prices are comparable to a movie theater except the sodas are much smaller. The bathrooms are not large enough to accommodate intermission of a large show and there was wine spilled on the floor despite there being an attendant in the room. Also, the theater was a bit hot with a full crowd, otherwise I would’ve given 5 stars.Would return for a show in the future. It’s a fun experience to even look around such an old building and the theater itself looks lovely.

So beautiful. It feels like you stepped into another world and another time.

Truly the MOST beautiful theater Ive been in. The staff is super nice and I just had an absolutely lovely time!

Went to see Hamilton in a Wednesday. The theater was very beautiful and, of course, very crowded. It didnt take very long to get concessions or find out seats, but I do wish that there was more obvious signage for restrooms. When you only have a few minutes at intermission and youve never been there before, it can be stressful trying to find a restroom that isnt on the bottom floor. Other than that, we had a great time.

Its a very great place to see Broadway shows.

Great place to watch your favorite act. You can order food and drinks using an app from your seat. Good selection of food and drinks.

There is a variety of shows and the snacks are great. Although they are a bit overpriced

First time visits (4/28/2019) since Katrina and renovation. This place is still by far the most elegant facility in the city. As I recall, the sound was not that prime then but now it is outstanding. The ushers were eager to assist and very courteous. The concession staff was the same. Nearby parking a bit pricey but worth the well lit floors, wide spaces and convenience. Will certainly consider catching more performances in future.

Beautiful venue! Very helpful and friendly staff!

Seeing Wicked was so amazing, I loved the experience and the snacks they had were great too. Definitely will be returning.
