Saw Electric Light Orchestra 1/24/2020 at the Palace Theater in Stamford CT. Nice theater with really cool sign out front. There were these beautifully decorated trees on the walk over from the hotel, every branch covered with lights. Nice job Stamford. Pretty cool.

I saw For King and Country here. My first time at this theater and what an amazing time it was! The area is great with many restaurants and huge mall across the street. The theater is not too large so every seat is a great seat. Cant wait to go back!!

The Palace Theater is a gem in SW Connecticut. We who live there are fortunate to have it and must make sure that it continues to thrive and grow to attract more attendance from more places. The theater is surrounded by good places to dine, within walking distance and the parking could not be more convenient.

The Palace is a great alternative to schlepping into the city. Ive seen Broadway touring companies, operas, concerts and comedy shows there. I recently brought friends to see the musical Once. The production and talent were top notch. The box office staff were so helpful (Ill never buy online again). They helped me find the best seats for the price. Then, a few days before the show, they surprised me with a phone call informing me that since the tickets they sold me were now partially obstructed due to a last minute set change, we were to be upgraded. Now thats amazing customer service!

Very nice theatre in the downtown area of Stamford. It has a very elegant and classy feel. Can feel very crowded at times. I have not gone to a multitude of shows, but the ones I have gone to were a good experience. Doesnt seem to be a bad view in the place. Facilities were clean. Parking is a pain but thats city life.

Extremely nice Venue. Easily accessible from I -95. Plenty of parking in the area Including directly across the street at the Landmark Garage which is capped at $3.00 on weekends.The Theater is Beautiful inside, is Handicap accessible. It has Restrooms and a nice refreshment area as well. There are Plenty of shops, (Stamford Mall)Lodging, and restaurants within walking distance. Catch a Show, make it a weekend getaway. Plenty to do.

Went to see the Broadway The Comedian and she packed the house as the headliner. The two ladies at the ticket booth was a laugh like the was the opening act. I like being treated with a laugh to start of a great night I had at the palace.

I was here because my niece graduated. I am so proud of her! The graduation was nice. The 3 rating is because I use a walker and found getting in, out and around extremely frustrating. It is an older building, maybe not up to code for accessibility Im thinking...

Amazing setup, the stage was expanded a few years ago. Saw a couple of performances here, and really enjoyed them.

Ja
Review №57

I saw a comedian perform here; I sat on the mezzanine and while I could see the stage, I couldnt see the seats below me.Seats were a little narrow and uncomfortable - its unfortunate that for even trying to save a little bit, you lose out on comfort extensively. The feel from the top is cramped.Refreshments range from cheap wine to mediocre mixed drinks, grab bags of snacks (Chex, potato chips, etc.); this may differ based upon venue, but for $5 I wouldve been better off grabbing a slice of pizza next door.Sound quality was great. Lighting was great. Parking is actually really good in terms of timing and ease of access at $3, and while we had to wait a bit getting out, Ive experienced far worse in far smaller venues.

Any time you get the chance get the front or close to from seats. Honestly you are so close to the people showing its great. If not your type of fun. Mid, balcony seats are still great too. Always recommend checking the place if someone you want to see is coming around town

Small theater and a great show watching Adam Savage and Vsauce. Took away a star for the overpriced concession stand that only sold small bagged chips you get with a variety pack from Costco. Parking was $3 for the entire time which was a great flat rate.

We were here with my son for a kids show. There is a parking lot on the other side of the road. The building is visible from the outside, look for the signs. The inside is really impressive. The stage is a bit small, but visible from either direction.

If youre looking for a good place to come and see live shows, this is not it. Youll get more entertainment from watching a YouTube video. The place is old and depressing with a hint of death. I regret coming to see Gabriel Iglesias at this place, but thats what happens when you visit a 3rd rate place. When I came that day my friends did not make it, I later found out that it was because of the employees who sent them away because they were 5 minutes late.Again just stay home and forget about this place.

Review №79

The theater is nice we saw Eli Young Band there the other night. However I found the executive director of the theater to be rude. He was running around during the show telling people they couldnt record the band and the songs. I have never been to a concert where this is the case. But he spent the entire show telling people to stop. He was running up and down the aisles. At one point I was sending a text msg (checking on my kids) and he stopped and told me to put my phone away.

Review №87

The place is amazing, we were in the mezzanine area, really good concert. The 4 star is because the system they have seems to waste a lot of time, it creates confusion, and even got to experience customers fighting because one of them did not respect the line,and it got bad. I know we all were in a rush, time crunch for the concert, and after making the line we had to do another line to print out the tickets(thats were the fighting started to happen) all ppl got frustated, mad,etc. And then we had to make the line again to get in, then another line to go the the 2nd floor, then get in and try to find out the seats, very crazy night. I got there just in time when the artist started to sign the 1st song(so was lucky to get in just in time after making all those lines) felt bad for other ppl fighting, but based on time I did not intervine,and also its up to security to do something about it. Which honest did not see any on the outside, only after the 2nd doors -main lobby- a few, but not enough for what was going on that night concert.

The outside shell--lobby and ticket area--are generic and modern. However, they, thankfully, have saved the old theater, which is a real landmark. Also, the place is not huge, so there is a feeling of intimacy.
