Holidays are especially fun. Don't snooze on this experience. You'll have fun! And for the cost conscious they have discounts and ways to save. Check them out!

Probably my favorite venue in Cleveland for the summer concerts!! The vibes are always immaculate…read more Parking is actually not that bad or expensive- paid $25 in front of the aquarium! What can be expensive are the drinks and food inside!!! Obviously expected at concerts, but I refuse to pay $20ish dollars for chicken tenders lol I have been to concerts here in the floor and in the stands and both are great experiences!! If you can't stand for a while obviously seats in the stands would be better but if you're looking for a party style concert - the floor is where you'll want to be! Definitely recommend coming to see your favorite artist here in the summer! You just can't beat it

We went to see Alabama Shakes at Jacob's Pavilion. Jacob's Pavilion was a great venue to see a…read moreconcert. Not only did you have a great view of the stage (there really isn't a bad view in the house). You also have a wonderful view of downtown. We sat in general admission and I will say the bleacher seats were uncomfortable for a longer period of time and there were no back to the seats. If you are Looking for a more comfortable seat I would upgrade to better seats for that purpose. The sound was decent and show was amazing. There was one bathroom trailer for women and two for men. That really did not make sense. Parking was easy and it did not take too long to get out of the parking lot. I would definitely see another show there, but would probably upgrade my seats. It didn't hurt that it was a beautiful night. The weather was perfect.

There were three of us for the show, 2 regular tickets and 1 senior please! The show was fantastic, the actors ranged from young children, teens and adults and not only could they act but they could SING. They offer concessions and a 50/50 drawing during intermission! Did I mention we WON, $142 not a bad split! So make sure you check out the schedule for 2020, we will define back!

I was taking a break sitting next to my husband trying to see if I wanted to put anymore money in that machine. This woman made me so uncomfortable walking around me. Even after I told her how rude she was she didn't stop asking me was I still playing. My husband got upset and of course it turned into a disagreement because he said I was letting her intimidate me because I was ready to go. I don't like conflict and was ready to go. People these days have issues and she felt I was messing with her money because she had hit on that machine a couple days before, for a sizable amount. Don't worry I won't be coming back. Ruined a beautiful day.

After a long time away from the pandemic, I revisited the Alex Theater for a Queens of the 9 show…read more It's still as fun as I remembered. The Alex Theater is located inside The 9 Hotel and you do not have to be a hotel guest to attend a show at Alex Theater. Valet your car (it's just the easiest parking) and simply walk straight in to the elevators and click the call button for Alex Theater. The Alex Theater has a full bar (no snacks) and can seat about 100 people comfortably between the leather recliners and high-top tables that are sometimes assembled. The programming at the Alex is always five-stars. Check their website regularly and you'll see evenings for drag, live bands, magic shows, film events and more. I want to give kudos to the staff. A very annoying, obnoxiously drunk couple was next to us and ruining our experience. At intermission, we let the staff know and they discretely took care of the situation. The Alex is a classy place, and if I wanted a rowdy night out, I'd be at a college bar. A night out at the Alex Theater is always a fun experience and I can't recommend it enough!

I visited this theatre in mid-December 2024 to watch a play titled "Altar Boyz". I met a few…read morefriends there. I didn't realize that the theatre itself is inside the massive 78th street studios, which houses galleries, the 3rd Fridays art/gallery event, boutique shops from local businesses, and more. The theatre is on the 2nd floor of the 78th street studios. As I entered, I was lost and the random people that I asked couldn't help which was frustrating at best. I then ran into someone who was looking for the theatre like myself so we helped each other find it. Eventually, we saw signs leading us to the theatre and arrived with a minute or so to spare before the show started. The theatre itself is small and intimate. There is a stage up in the front-center plus a sound booth behind the stage. I enjoyed the play Altar Boyz but some parts were a bit offensive to the Christian religion but I suppose that was the point of the play. The actors, which were all male, did a great job. I can certainly see myself coming back here to watch another play. **** GOAL of 365 reviews in 2025 - 3/365 total reviews in 2025 - 784 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 1 January 2025

This time I had the honor of attending the play, "Rasheeda Speaking." From the moment my husband and I arrived, we were warmly greeted by a parking attendant who also directed us to the correct theatre. Once inside, all of the ushers and greeters were friendly and professional. The performance was good and our seats allowed for a great view of the stage. My only con was the seating. It was held in the Arena Theatre which is small and intimate, however the seating was folded chairs which left very little leg room. Unfortunately this created a cramped environment which left us shifting in our seats throughout the performance. But as stated, we thoroughly enjoyed the performance!

Go watch a movie. You want to be truly moved? Come to Cleveland. You'll thank me.
