Beautiful Theatre . Better if you are tiny. No leg room
There are additional bathrooms on the 2nd floor, stage left. They're kind of hidden, so fewer people use them!
In love with this place - awesome memories ????
Great theater but that isn't the one. Try again.
Good for cultural activities
Sit forward of balcony for best acoustics
