I went for a movie screening and Q&A with the director. I thought I had great seats, 1st row center, balcony. Unfortunately the first row leaves no leg room for anyone at or above 6ft. Thankfully the show wasnt sold out and the ushers were more then happy to let us move back a row to get better leg room. This should really be on there FAQs of there website. Also the main entrance was closed and you had to enter though the hotel on the other side of the building. Again not a big issue but it was 28º outside and we had to walk the block and a half to the main entrance just to turn around and walk a block and a half to the hotel entrance. Some sings would be helpful. Overall a really nice venue, will be back.

A very old playhouse in the Hotel DuPont. Limited views in the corners if your sitting there. Mens room in the basement, Womens room up stairs and on the main floor. Snacks and a limited bar. Set right in the heart of downtown Wilmington.

The building is easy to get to and there are a lot of parking options around. The seats however are awful. Unless you are sitting at the outer end of the rows, theres no leg room at all. We moved our seats and sacrifices view to he more comfortable. Aside from that, its fantastic!

Loved it! This place is filled with wonderful architecture, music, social atmosphere and overall excitement. We saw The Nutcracker, and the entire place was very welcoming and we all enjoyed everything about The Playhouse. I hear there is more to see there, so Ill have to go back another time to try the restaurants and such for new places to taste and review.

I have attended several performances at the Playhouse and havent been disappointed. It is an old theater, so there is a balcony section, the seating is a little tighter than newer recliner type seating in some places. The place isnt huge, so even in the back you have the feeling of closeness.

We saw Jersey Boys for the second time today. The show was fabulous. There are plenty of people to help you find your seats. The theater is beautiful and very well maintained. The only downside is the parking. We usually use the valet service, but it was filled.

The Hotel DuPont and the Playhouse continue to be a wonderful place for a special night out. We saw Manheim Steamroller. Their show was amazing! We had accessible seating for a wheelchair, and the staff was extremely helpful. There are stairs to get to the restrooms inside the theatre itself. However, accessible restrooms are just a few steps outside the theatre lobby in the main hallway of the hotel. After the show we enjoyed dinner at the Grille.

It was really good, but it could use a little remodel sitting wise. Im a small person and the seats were small. But the service was really good.

The show was fantastic. Getting into the theater not knowing that the Grand entrance was closed was guite an ordeal for myself as a handicapped person. We parked close to the Grand which was convenient until we got to the entrance and saw the signs.

Attended Bobby Bones Show. Emma Kline opened.Great show.Beautiful older theatre.Friendly and helpful staff.

Beautiful, well organized and they hosted Kevin Smith for the Jay and Silent Bob Road Show on Valentines Day...theyre winners in my book! Had the best time tonight

Great Venue!! Just dont like the bait and switch ticket pricing when you checkout. If a fee charge is not optional then please include it in the actual ticket price so we know what the real cost is. Dont mind paying them , just feel like youre being deceived.

The view from most all seats are great. The tickets to The Wizard of Oz were a little pricey. We thoroughly enjoyed the show. The reason for the 4 star review is that the seats are quite uncomfortable. We will go again in December to see the Illusionists. Very hard to find parking for a truck. The garages have low ceilings.

The play beautiful was outstanding!! A must see. The theater has extremely small cramped and uncomfortable seating in the upstairs areas. If you visit the theater you must sit in orchestra section anywhere on the first floor. The seating there is great and worth every dime. Please visit Delaware historical theater its beautiful inside

This is an intimate place to see a show or hear speakers. The staff are friendly and helpful.

Very old theater. Beautiful decor. Seats are not for bigger people.

Beautiful the Carol King Musical is what drew us to the Playhouse. The acoustics are great and that in addition to a truly outstanding cast led to a special experience with family and friends.

Recently saw Jersey Boys with my friends. The theater is beautiful and we had a BLAST!

Quaint old theater. A bit jammed with small seats. But a great view from anywhere with a real ambiance

The seats are small however the play was great. Would be nicer to have larger seats

The Nutcracker was awesome. Nice to be able to celebrate a fellow Girl Scout woth my Scout!

Just saw the Jersey Boys! Highly recommend must see was absolutely entertaining!

Charming small theater. Embellished ceilings give a nod the to golden age. Orchestra floor seating is quite comfortable but limited. The theater has 2 balconies. Sight lines are quite good from both but seating is very tight especially in terms of footroom in the front row. The playhouse hosts shows in conjunction with The Grand, performance quality show dependent.

Saw the show Something Rotten. Looked like a full house and everyone enjoyed the show. We had seat on the right side of the stage front row. We didnt miss anything, every drop of sweat every nuance. The cast in its entirety did an excellent job. If I was casting for a new production of Rocky Horror Picture Show I would certainly contact the actor that played Shakespeare. The part he played fit that persona well and made the play even more enjoyable. Great choice of plays for a light humorous afternoon.

Nice theater, enjoyed the show

We have been attending plays at the Playhouse for years. Excellent Shows in a historic venue. We highly recommend it for a classy evening out!

This is a beautiful place and worth going only with family

Great performances for a wide range of ages. Comfortable seating. Bathrooms are kind of far from seats and sparse.

Saw Jersey Boys with mom she loved it!

Lovely venue with great shows and close to home!

Awesome. Cant wait to go back again!

Went to see a friend of ours perform. It was an ok venue. They were selling beverages so I got in that line only to find out they dont take credit cards so then you would have to get in the atm line and then get back in line. No thanks. When we were leaving everyone is bottlenecked through a single point. So plan ahead for these situations and youll make out better than we did. Hope this helps someone.

Beautiful was fabulous. Knew all but 1 song.

Great shows with good prices. Handicap only on main floor. Seats in mezzanine and balcony give an excellent view. Security in Wilmington is awesome, so great place to plan an evening.

Went to the playhouse to attend a graduation ceremony for my nephew. I was one of the extra guests, so my seat was up and the balcony area. This is an older building and doesnt have many of the modern conveniences. The stairs are steep and narrow, and there is no elevator. I saw several elderly grandparents struggling to get up the steps. Once in my balcony seat my knees were right up against the seat in front of me...zero leg room. The seats rock slightly, so when the person arrive to sit in the seat in front of me... and every time he moved, the seat banged into my knees. The next day I had bruises on both my knees.I think every seat was taken and it was crowded. It was very hot in the theater. It was sweltering in the balcony, and when I spoke to family members who sat down on the main level, they said it was hot there too. It would seem the air conditioning system cannot support a full audience.And to top it off, the main entrance into the theater is undergoing Construction. So everyone had to arrive and leave through the Hotel DuPont Lobby. It was crowded and hard to navigate to the theater when we arrived, but leaving was a nightmare. It took me 35 minutes to make my way from my seat in the balcony out of the front of the hotel. If there had been any sort of emergency, people would have been trampled in the madness.So while the venue is lovely, my next nephew doesnt graduate for four more years. Im hoping by then the school will find another venue for their graduation ceremony, otherwise I may not attend.If you plan to attend any sort of event at the playhouse, I strongly recommend you do not buy balcony tickets. I never would.

First time was awesome. I went to see Brian Regan with my husband and friend. We had a great time.

Classical decor. You feel as though you have stepped into the late 18th century, and entered the finest hotel in the nation. Show was excellent. Will visits again.

Elvis show good. Ushers pleasant. Beautiful theater I have enjoyed for many years.

I really enjoyed this place.Today I went to see a Childrens Play on a class trip with my daughters school. The Diary of a Spider a Worm and a Fly. They did a wonderful job with this production and they were well prepared for the multiple schools that attended the play.

Great place for an evenings live entertainment.

Cool venue, seats are too close together

Great show. Beautiful is a must see.!!

A perfect place to dine and enjoy a musical or play.

I always enjoy going here. It offers a chance to see first rate productions in Delaware.

Nice small hometown theatre. All of the seats are good, some are better. Staff is first rate.

Love coming here for Broadway shows!

Broadway style theater in downtown Wilmington. Recently booking higher quality touring shows. Much easier access than going to downtown Philadelphia, and it seems to be a bit less expensive tickets too. Seats can be tight, but no worse than most Broadway theaters. Community Garage one block away usually has good parking.

Finding Neverland was amazing. Highly recommend it. Kudos to Conor McGiffin!

Beautiful building and very nice staff

So Beautiful.... came to see the Nutcracker!

Saw Finding Neverland. What a great cast! Boys were incredibly talented, show was entertaining, touching, so much fun. Go see it!

Had the awesome opportunity to see Hit Men, one night only at The Grand! This was not a cover band event because the musicians were all the actual studio and touring musicians for famous bands. These guys are the real deal! They performed hits that they invited the audience to sing along with, including: Dont Stop Believing, Dance with Me, Joy to the World, Peace Train, the soulful I Want to Know What Love Is, and many, many more...played as they did in the 60s, 70s. and 80s. They shared stories and anecdotes which really rounded out the performance. Four words to describe this event, and they happen to be a song they performed: Oh What a Night!

I selected best possible seats online and was out literally behind a pillar. The staff did change the seats but if you but online, call the box office to get seating info. The performers were amazing! Rows narrow, seats need recushioning.

Its a nice place. Getting up to the balcony is a breath taker. You practically need an oxygen tank. Its an older place, but has charm.

Nice place to see a play

Great venue for a play.

Jersey Boys the show was great there

Fantastic as close to a Broadway experience as you can get in Delaware

My Wife and I saw a great show at the Playhouse. It was our first time there. The people that worked there were very helpful and polite. Great evening out.

It was a nice place .

The Nutcracker with the Wilmington Ballet was wonderful. The Playhouse, though historic, needs an overhaul. Most uncomfortable venue for viewing any program more than an hour. Entering and exiting is a hazard, a catastrophe waiting to happen.

Great place to see a show! Feel like youre taking a step back into time with the ornate decor and great acoustics! Very enjoyable venue.

Great shows! Even though many people dont dress up for the shows, they should. The eligance of this beautiful hotel and theater is amazing. :)

Good shows. Nice venue. Seats a little tight.

I went with my niece (3 years old), mother in law and sister in law to see The Wizard of Oz in November. The performance was amazing, but our seats were not the greatest. We sat on the balcony in one of the first rows and it was very hard to see over the ledge. If you sit on the balcony I recommend sitting 2-3 rows up from the front especially if you have young children. The steps going up to the balcony were steep and my mother in law had some trouble. I dont think there was an elevator or anything to get to the balcony too. The tickets were a little pricey and the theater is a little dated, but all in all I would recommend the theater. I will be going in April to see Dirty Dancing and we have orchestra seats this time so hopefully the experience will be better.

I always enjoy visits to Dupint building.

Beautiful and comfortable theater, easily accessible with convenient parking with wonderful artistic performances at affordable pricing.

Great venue for music and theatre

Great ambience. Current artists performing in an updated historic venue.

Great shows and performances.A gem in Wilmington

Lovely theatre, but seats are very small and close as most theatres are. Great shows though and wonderful atmosphere.

Love the Playhouse, there really isnt a bad seat in the house

Very nice theater we had a good time!

Went with my childrens school to see Charlottes Web. It was nice. First time there.

Wilmingtons Little Broadway! The history and beautiful architecture make seeing a Broadway tour truly an experience.

Great show! Really good time.

The show was very enjoyable and worth a second viewing. Grest seats, also.

Great place to see some really good showa

The play house is such a wonderful venue for live theater. the bathrooms can be very crowded and dont be fooled by orchestra seating thinking the floor is better the balconies can sometimes be easier to see.food is allowed in theater.

The theater itself is an older building. The one pro is that the building has character. Unfortunately, the seats are crammed close together and theres not much leg room. Also, there are a lot of blocked views if you sit anywhere but the middle seats. The layout of the seating is not good.

Wonderful experience! We will be back.

Had a wonderful time. Seats are very small and close together. Friendly staff and helpful.

Saw Tao Drum Heart. Great show. Seats in the playhouse are extremely tight fits even for smaller folks. Seats are also a little uncomfortable to sit in

Went to the infamous Green room for dinner before the show and the food was disappointing as well the service was lacking for what is supposed to be a wonderful restaurant. The ambiance was great though.

We had a Fun watching Charlottes Web play

Plays and concerts. Friendly staff. Handicap accessible on first floor only. Restrooms are very clean but mens room is in the basement.

My son and I had great time...we saw Henry and Mudge. What an awesome cast. Well done, all.

Had a wonderful time seeing Eddie Izzard. All the seats have a good view of the stage. Although the seats are small. My real husband was a bit cramped.

Me ...Jane was an excellent play!

I am not that tall but this place was made for very small people... The seating was so uncomfortable I could barely sit threw my show... and I sit 10hrs a day at my job.... so not like i am picky... Everything else is really nice and elegant but seating is terrible

Nice theater, comfortable seats, lots of room. The sightlines for the cheap seats on the edges are partially blocked by speaker colomns.

Would not return for class trip nor adult night out. In Hotel Dupont..needs refreshed. No where near as beautiful as The Grande. Ushers friendly. Others not so much.. Bathrooms are down a bunch of stairs. Traffic outside was quite a nightmare..tg for cops directing! Parents were not overly impressed with trip either. Will not return to this location.

Very cool historic location with a very prestigious past. Been a couple times and will go back. The drive from Baltimore is worth the visit. Also, great restaurant across the street.

Broadway feel without the pricey tickets and the drive to Manhattan

Excellent performance!

The musical Motown was ONCE IN A LIFETTIME. They ROCKED THE HOUSE. It took us back to our Roots

Great seating anywhere. Dont miss the chinese acrobats when they come on tour.

Small seats, narrow legroom. Intimate setting. Older classic venue.

Excellent venue for music, theater whatever your reason for visiting youll enjoy the experience.

The venue is beautiful and provides an intimate experience, but the lack of leg room in the mezzanine section us distracting at the least. At 6, my knees were firmly pressed against the seat in front of me, to the point of uncomfortability.
