Renaissance in the Belly of a Killer Whale was a delight. So great that the Wilma gave this wonderful show a forum to be seen. Next stop should be Broadway!Love the artistic atmosphere of the Wilma. Their lobby cafe is quite good. A Philadelphia treasure!

Its a really beautiful building, inside and out...great place to see a live show.

Great spot to do a little work or study on the laptop (at the lobby Cafe). They have a good selection of coffee, bagels and other bites. *Vegan friendly, if youre into that.*Clearly not a review of the actual theater, but if the lobby Cafe (Good Karma) is good, the theater itself must be equally as good.

A few years ago I moved from Philadelphia and this weekend I came into the city to see Describe the Night at Wilma. Great acting and while the many threads in the play might be a little confusing at first, they become clearer and clearer as the plot thickens! Highly recommend especially if you are interested in Russia, Putin and generally in Eastern Europe.

Home to some of the best diverse cutting edge theater. Each season is full of a wide range of shows. House company is too talent. Good price for the quality of the show.

Saw describe the night and it was fantastic. Easy going staff, great cafe with mixed drinks, you can bring drinks in to the theater and you can meet the actors after the show! Very cool.

Place was nice, however the show Dance Nation should of came with a warning 21 and over. Also, if this was children age thirteen in my opinion was seriously not appropriate for this age group. Also, my niece (who has been dancing since age 3 and on competition dance for 5 years), is 16 and she was with her boyfriend and they both did not like it at all. Was not funny and made no sense. I just wish more information would have been posted of what this was really about.

Always a masterful interpretation of some of the most innovative works of theater. Love seeing shows here!!!

I was having coffee in the Cafe. Cheery atmosphere. I look forward to catching a show there.

We watched the wonderful BalletX , what a great art in contemporary Ballet and the music along with the singing just pulled it all together . This was my first time at this theater, i loved the seating, you can see from everywhere. Pleasant staff.

This season the Wilma Theater is presenting plays with different stages and seating arrangements to accommodate the play. I saw There with 8 actors and actresses speaking and moving on an extra large wooden stage shaped like a skateboarders ramp. Wilmas plays are eclectic so be prepared to see multifaceted plays.

Wonderful home of Ballet X. I *highly* recommend this young ballet company full of energy.

A really great place to see a show. There is not a bad seat in the theater. I saw the comedy sportz world championship here. It was a riot. Teams from different cities battle in improv matches similar to whose line is it anyway. They were fun and silly. If you like to laugh i highly recommend it. I know you will have a good time!

Wonderful production. Love this theatre.

The Wilma is one of the few theaters that got the seating right. Each row seemed to be properly raised over the prior so that you can see the stage without constantly looking for an opening between the two moving heads in front of you. For that alone I will happily continue to support The Wilma.

Great venue. Resident theater for BalletX. Not a bad seat in the house. Actually sitting in the front row is a disadvantage because you are so close that you can touch the performers, but you cant see the zoomed out view. Nevertheless its always a wonderful time at the Wilma.

Wonderful venue. Every presentation has been memorable. The ensemble are amazing actors. Passages and Kill Paradise are two dont miss plays. We are thrilled to be subscribers for years now.

Loved the performance of Dionysus was Such a Nice Man. My first time there and Im so glad that my friends introduced me to this theater. Everything about our experience was good. First thing that happened was my friend somehow got a cut on her hand as we were being dropped off. The staff was very helpful in providing a band-aid quickly. Nice variety of snacks and beverages. First theater Ive been to that sells kombucha! Enjoyed the Q&A with the actors afterwards.

Ive heard so many great things about the Wilma theater, and theyve all been great things. Its a nice clean establishment. I saw Romeo and Juliet, and I loved it. I cant not wait for my next visit.

Very intimate theater experience with no bad sight lines. Every seat is a good sest.

Wow, first time there to watch Ballet X. Theres not a bad seat in the house. I really recommend anyone to go see Ballet X. They put on a great show.

Nice place to see live performances. Not a bad seat in the house. Food service person was giving us a hard time ordering something to eat. She would not take a sandwich order. She kept saying you can take a snack into theater and pointed to wrapped peanut bars. I explained more than once my daughter was diabetic and needed a meal and that we would not take it in theater. She huffed and finally placed order.

I saw BalletX.What a splendid group of dancers doing original creative works from new choreographers. Beautiful company.If you like dance, do not miss them.

Fantastic venue. Every seat is a great view. Nice cafe in the lounge that is open to public.

Saw Passing Strange. I have never had so much fun at a play. I Ive seen a lot of plays. There was so much passion and life. The cast and orchestra were phenomenal. It was a true testament to the script how universal finding yourself really is. Bravo. Also, I really appreciate that there are student tickets.

Love this place. Ive seen so many great performances here.

The little Cafe outside of the theater is really cool, but inside of the theater itself is very small. There arent any aisles to separate the rows of seats so you have to scoot through the whole row of people if you end up sitting in the center seats. The seats are also very close together so youre up close and personal with your neighbors. Its a bit claustrophobic so I wouldnt want to have to be there for longer than maybe an hour and a half.

Ballet X is everything I want from contemporary ballet: beauty & form, heartfelt performance, joy, and comedy. Ive been watching their shows for over a decade now, and I cannot them highly enough. See one of their three performances a year as soon as you can.

What a treasure,!Attended performance for first time recently and loved this place! The seating is comfortable with great views in every seat. Attendees were very friendly. Relaxed atmosphere. Dance company was top notch!

I love going to the Wilma -- there isnt a bad seat in the house, and its SO comfortable. Of course the quality of the performances Ive seen there doesnt hurt Most recently I saw the incredible Ballet X.

Nice venue, great opportunity to have coffee and enjoy the atmosphere of Philadelphias Theater and performing arts scene.

Its an excellent small venue in a prime location. I used to be a season ticket holder and always love the shows they put on.

Never a bad show here, they are always doing great work!

Great venue right on Broad Street in Center City. Really committed to the arts with a calendar thats rich with new and exciting events

Enjoyed Ballet X. Intimate setting great dancing, raw energy, would attend theater& The groups tour anywhere, innovativein all facets of capturing the audienceattention.

Creative, original productions, excellent venue for theater

Among the best theaters in Philadelphia. Great plays, beautiful space and a great cafe (open all day!)

Daughters recital here was awesome. Very friendly staff.

The Wilma Theater has a nice casual modern lobby with good coffee, good place for studying or working on your computer, also delicious pastries

Not a bad seat in the house. Be sure to stop by and check out the lobby cafe anytime add well!

The Wilma is a small theater but they can fit a ton of people into it! The dynamic of the stage with the angled seating that faces inwards to the stage is great. The theater is very clean and well taken care of. Its also right next to a parking deck. Id like to see more shows here!

Great theater with a huge selection of plays that are very well done!

Good quiet place to grap a drink

Almost every seat in theater is comfortable with excellent view of stage & good leg room. Great value too. Nice sense of community here too. Great places to eat nearby & close to public transport.

The Wilma is an intimate, yet wonderfully comfortable space, in which to view a show! The Ballet X was extraordinary!

Comfortable theater. Each seat is a good seat.

Very nice and intimate theater. Any seat is a good seat with a good view of the stage. The wine was over priced for a very small cup. They should be ashamed!!

Good place with good people

This is a gem of a theater. Every seat has a good stage view. There is no balcony so sound is also excellent throughout. Enough leg room that my knees dont touch the seat in front of me.

Includes a little cafe, and has a nice sized theater. Saw Kill Move Paradise here, fantastic show!!!

Loved the show i saw, when the rain stopped falling. Seats were very comfortable with leg room for the tall. Their love for the theatre showed in the acting and the amount of care put into the production. Cant beat the price either for a professional play, $25.

Awesome venue! If you read this in time, see KILL MOVE PARADISE. A theater well worth visiting.

Love this theatre. Productions are awesome, resident actors are amazing consistently given Broadway quality performances, especially Anthony and Tayshe, they bring it every single time and lose themselves in character.

Cute little bar great theater

The staff are amazing the food wonderful in the show itself was amazing. And the sit down coffee house was he any twist Ive never experienced before and I loves it

Ballet X: best dancing in Phila and probably the country

Awesome atmosphere..

Wonderful Cafe, Clean Stages

Awesome theatre to visit! They also have special events for their shows throughout the season.

Excellent facilities and consistently great art.

Cute little theater. Unique shows. We had standing seats. Actually very comfortable stools and I could see just fine.

We Shall Not Be Moved, the student production for Philly Opera Week, a piece for all the outliers of Opera, people of color, gays, women, you know everyone whos not a rich white person. Wonderful stuff!

Reginal theatre with an artistic soul

Went to see a production of Ballet...AWESOME! Love the cafe in the lobby.

A fabulous little theatre that shows unique plays. A great place to go if youre interested in indie theatre

Wilma Theater has intimate plays that are always well done and a nice little Good Karma coffee shop in the lobby

BalletX was wonderful

Honestly a great place

Great Theater. You might see an influx of temple students reviewing on here since they are reading it for a class. I really enjoyed Antigone. Glad my class gave me an opportunity to watch it for Free

Great performance space. Good lobby with coffee and light snacks.

What a wonderful dance company. Run, dont walk to see them

Great venue and great arts organization!

Always a delight, many times a challenge, but always leaves you wanting more

Very good

Lovely venue. Saw Blood Wedding and the performances were great!

Great space. Great shows.

This is a super quaint theater. Great for a first date if youre looking for something fun to do!

Wonderful performances and frequent opportunities to talk with the performers post show.

No bad seats!

Edgey productions by the Hot House Crew. The cafe has coffee and beer and wine. Passing Strange is there now. Go see it.

I have never seen a bad show here. The quality of theatre is outstanding.

Producing prime theatrical experiences, The Wilma is always my go-to for cutting-edge productions when Im in Philadelphia.

The theater is OK. Nice location in the center of. Philadelphia

One of the most memorable theatre experiences ever!!! Just saw the company at Jacobs Pillow and we are still in a daze.

The theater is very nice and the show I saw, red wedding, was good

AmazingEveryone should visit at least once

A beautiful, modern design lending to a nouveau theater experience. Moderately priced and wonderful productions.

Great Bagels, great coffie and the staff os very nice. I highly recomend this place for breakfast or lunch.

The Blt is fantastic. The shows are good too.

Comfortable chairs, no pillars blocking the view of the stage.

One of the worst shows I ever seen. I have seen shows all over and this one is the worst. I just came back from a show now and I had to share this. Thats how bad. It is very awkward when you have to wait in the very small lobby. As soon as you go into the auditorium you are informed you may leave to use tha bathroom but you may not come back into the auditorium! Why not just lock the outside doors, this is just a horrible idea. The only best part is that you can see the stage from all angles. The play I saw tonight was Antigone, let me tell you its not what you expect. You cant even follow the story line because half of it was in a different language, where their was subtitles but half the time they werent there and then the other half didnt even matched up with what the actress was saying. So I consistantly had to keep looking up to see if there were any subtitles. Also there was not enough people to play the parts. One girl was one mans wife, the next she had a different name and was Creons wife. How can we follow this. This play had to many different things going on and was not at all good. The staff on the other hand was friendly, not what the other reviews said. I think its the ownership/managements fault and they let you know that they want your money all over the place. I even found ads saying that you can use them for your will. Yeah...okay.It might have just been this show but I highly wont take another hour drive to see them again. Unless they change completely for the viewers, I see no reason to go. Even though the tickets are cheap due to a stated grant, which means part of my ticket was still payed by someone else, it should be better. Your in tough market on a tough street... Start getting to work.

Of the theaters in Philly, the Wilma is probably my favorite. Their sets are always exceptional, and the seating is just as uncomfortable as every other theater. The plays are kind of hit or miss though.

Always top notch productions, in a state of the art theater.

Innovative choreography and excellent dancers.

Needs to expand thematic offerings. Excellent venue.

Saw “Passing Strange” tonight... phenomenal!

Smaller venue. Nice shows, could be produced better, but, overall a pleasant experience.

A Philly favorite. Always engaged performances and sets. The value is off the charts for this playhouse.

BalletX as always was superb !!!

Love seeing BalletX here!
