Although another patron's inconsideration is not entirely the venue's…read moreresponsibility, I wish staff had shushed or managed the woman and child behind us who were incessantly talking throughout the set. The acoustics did not drown out their chattering. It's not a large venue and seating is organized by zones rather than fixed seats; staff directs you to a specific row within your zone. We purchased tickets for the Candlelight Orchestra through FEVER. Apparently Zeiders rents out their space for events, so tickets for this event could only be purchased online and not directly from the venue. The venue isn't large and has stadium seating. I'm not sure if they were trying to freeze us out, but the AC was blowing full force in January. They sell snacks at the concession stand. The entrance is on the second floor, and street or garage parking is available.

Great for date night or anyone who enjoys orchestra or symphonies on an intimate scale. Any seat is great no matter where because of the stadium seating. However, people behind us were carrying on a conversation during the performance, which was extremely rude and took away from the experience. Honestly, if you want to socialize, please do so at an appropriate place (preferably at your home or the lobby) and not during the performance. It's extremely rude and people pay to experience the concert, NOT your conversation. Great experience minus the rude conversation behind us.. where is the manners!!!

    The Virginia Stage Company's "A Very Merry Christmas Carol" at the Wells Theatre has become a…read moreholiday tradition for our family and this year did not disappoint. The entire audience seemed excited for the performance, with the Christmas spirit felt throughout the lobby and theater. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The available concessions were tasty, though the spiked eggnog was sorely missed this year. One recommendation would be to improve communication regarding drink availability at the bars. If certain beverages are not served at the theater entrance bar (like hot cocoa and coffee), they should not appear on that menu, or guests should be informed before waiting in line. I witnessed dozens of theatergoers being told after a long wait that hot drinks were only available at the side bar by the front windows which created a lot of unnecessary frustration. The Wells Theatre has a wonderful antique nostalgia while remaining well maintained and very clean. We were fortunate to experience the show from a completely different seat location that previous years, on the opposite side of the house, and the updated writing and script changes were enough to keep the production feeling fresh and engaging. We also appreciated the intermission being placed after the First Spirit rather than after the Second, as in previous years, as it made the acts feel more balanced. Additionally, the return of the Third Spirit's in-audience entrance was definitely appreciated.

    The VA Stage company continues to delight, surprise and push some boundaries. I love their…read moreadaptations of old classics, the most recent being EMMA. It was a knock-out! Completely fresh, funny and musical. A better production by far than the Broadway version and way more enjoyable. The theater is a 100-year-old gem with upgrades, including great seats and acoustics.

This show was spectacular!!! I would say it was better than 4 out if the 5 cirque du soleil shows!!! (Tops all except the Beatles love show;-). The kids were entranced!!! Yes, even the 2 yr old stayed entertained. It was soooo worth the money, and I would go back again and again!!! Never wasting $100 on a cirque ticket again!!! Thank you for an amazing performance and evening!!!

    I attend a showing of this on Wednesday night with 3 friends, not really sure of what to expect…read more We were one of the few groups there without children, so I was a bit apprehensive when we first arrived. However, as soon as the show began we were captivated. It was very exciting from start to finish and not like any other event I have been to in this area before. The performance was about 2 hours, divided into many smaller performances that were each about 5 - 8 minutes (guesstimating) . Of all the performances, there was only one that we thought was a little cheesy. Otherwise, we loved the show and had a great time. I was considering bringing my 4 year old niece, but there are parts of the show that I thought could be scary to a small child. I would guess most of the kids there were probably 6-10 years old. If you're looking for something different to try out, definitely give this a go. The arena is pretty small too, so i wouldn't recommend paying the VIP price for tickets, since there's only about 20 rows of seats anyway.

Ballet class for little people is 1/2 ballet and 1/2 tap so expect to buy both shoes. They do work with some dance stores that will give you a discount or go Amazon. Or buy from them. They are reasonably priced. Yay! They have a room or 2 for the parents to sit. You can't watch them until the last 10 minutes. AWESOME. Free time for Mommy! That part I love! My kid loves it. That get a sticker at the end. I hear them give out tons of compliments to the kids but she also keeps them in line. It's working great for us. Don't hesitate to give them a try

I attended my niece's recital and was absolutely dazzled by the costumes and performances. Hosted by Channel 13 news personality, dancers from five years old fifty five years old tapped, twirled, crumped and danced around the professionally decorated sets in hilarious, beautiful and exciting routines. The costumes were wonderful. Seeing the five year olds perform California girls in their little surfer girl costumes was so adorable I almost teared up. The adult dancers were truly moving with ballet, tap, interpretive and other dance styles. I can't say that my niece learned to be a great dancer at Golden Slippers, but I can say that we all enjoyed watching her learn there.

I thought we were really running late and were going to l be rushing to get in before doors closed but we got in with 20 minutes to spare. Getting through security was a breeze. Allied Universal did a great job getting people through efficiently. I had a clear bag so they didn't even have to search through it. The staff was very friendly and helpful from the security at the door to the usher who helped us find our seat. We purchased our ticket on Ticketmaster and they were super easy to quickly pull up and scan using the Apple Wallet feature. The show was fantastic and Josh Johnson was hilarious. I do recommend that if you want to buy merch or have to use the bathroom you do so before the show ends because it's quite chaotic with everyone trying to leave at the same time. The location of the men's bathroom on the second floor goes against the flow of the crowd of you're on the first floor like we were. All in all though I highly recommend this venue and would not hesitate to see a show here again.
