What else can I say, I love the historical Murphy Theatre. The restoring work over the years has been awesome. The architecture is a trip back in time where exquisite craftsmanship just stands out. Being a old finish carpenter for decades I can appreciate the beauty at our Murphy here in Wilmington. Oh and the new old style to the original design seating is so comfortable. Awesome job.

The theater is absolutely gorgeous, I felt like I had stepped back in time as I entered. And the acoustics are perfect!

A night at the Murphy Theater is one of my favorite experiences! This is my 3rd time attending a musical performance here and every seat seems to be a winner.

A beautiful old venue! The original decoration has been retained with lovely oak woodwork and lots of hand carved ceiling tiles and beautiful old light fixtures. The seats are original and a bit uncomfortable but they are in keeping with decor and can be endured for a couple of hours easy enough.The one drawback was the washroom facilities. They arent adequate for the 800 or so the theater holds. Always long lines and that wasnt even during admission but during the concert.

Did not attend a show, instead, I was the truck driver that delivered those brand new, red seats everyone sits on. The crew and management was so kind as to let me purchase a few old seats, as well as explore the entire place on my own while I was getting unloaded. Fantastic place, fantastic people.

Great retro theater and the new seats are fantastic. The executor director should consider writing out her thoughts for a more professional thank you and to encourage new donors to join the theater. They also need to hold people at the door when they come into a show an hour late instead of disturbing the reat of the patrons and it is very disrespectful to the performers also. Hope to see these thoughts taken into consideration at our next show.

A beautiful 100 year old theater in Wilmington, Oh. We saw Over The Rhine perform and the acoustics were fantastic. They do multiple events throughout the year, if you are ever in the area it is worth checking out. You can go across the street to the General Denver for a bite or a drink before or after.

A landmark of Wilmington, The Murphy Theatre is beautiful to behold outside and in. Local performers, school children, and national acts all grace the stage through out the year. If you have the chance to catch an act I highly recommend grabbing some concessions, any seat in the house, waiting for the lights to dim, and experience a true theatre!

I love the Murphy i spent most of my sophomore and junior year there and it was magical being on that stage. im actually am going to be having my wedding there. the staff is really sweet and easy to work with and would go out of their way to answer questions. the Murphy is not just a place to watch performances (which are amazing) its a historical place and is in my book magical and it is a very beautiful place.
