I find the shows in the round a little awkward but I think anyone who is interested in local theater should give this a try.

Seating is comfortable for a long show, with good sightlines from where I sat. I also enjoyed the outdoor areas -- nice spots to hang out before the performance and a pleasant pre-show atmosphere.

We were up pretty high in the second balcony, but still had a good view of the show. This is the sort of theater, where the higher up seats are closer to the "you get what you pay for" type seats than other places, we've been. This is a big enough theater that it does make a difference. Not a bad thing, just something to know. The acoustics here are lovely., And at least when a comedian is going, the sound is spot on. I will say, they've got the snacks and bar thing down. I think there were four total refreshment stations available across the number of different levels the lines moved quickly, and they had a good number of drink options, including alcohol and nonalcoholic beverages. I also appreciated the option of gummy bears! Everybody loves gummy bears! Unless you're communist. Then you probably like the sugar-free ones... Look up the review on Amazon! A wonderful theater, and one that you should check out if you have a chance.

I love supporting my local theater community!…read more Been a fan of taproot since I moved to Seattle 13 years ago. Well run, well managed and consistent. They are fantastic and everyone should go see more theater at this location. Currently too many older folks! It's bizarre, we need more ways to get regular/young people involved. I've been involved in east coast theater community in Toronto and we have a lot more diversity and easily more younger people involved in, volunteering for and attending theater shows than in Seattle where it looks like live theater is for the retired community. It is not! Everyone should have access to live theater. We need to change this pronto.

The place feels a little fancier than your average venue and it's fun to walk past the space needle on the way in. We most recently saw Fortune Feimster here in New Year's Eve and it was a great show. The security was thorough but prompt and they had plenty of bar staff and ushers to help out with needs. Seems like there were concessions available although we didn't sample any.

It was fascinating to learn what he endured to capture the butterflies' journey from the United States to Mexico. The theater itself is beautiful and well maintained. The lobby feels elegant, with tasteful décor and plenty of great spots for photos. Parking is convenient, with ample paid options available in the garage. The staff truly stood out--they were friendly, welcoming, and eager to help. They offered tips on nearby restaurants for dinner before the event, pointed us toward the restrooms, and let us know where to find coffee and snacks. The bathrooms were clean, and the seating in the auditorium was easy to navigate. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and Benaroya Hall proved to be an excellent venue for an event.

The thing I like most about Benaroya Hall, not even touching on the great programming, like the…read morelive Fantasia performance that we saw last year, is its lovely hillside situation. From its entrance street, it's inviting, warm and unprepossessing like a city bistro or an off roadway theater, but once you enter, you realize how vast and stunning it is. And you can certainly see that from down the hill too. I wish I could come here even more. I also love how you can reserve your intermission drinks ahead of time. Amazing.

Super helpful, and you can tell they are choosing to be there. I feel like they are always excited to answer my questions and bursting with energy and enthusiasm about the current production. This last time I went, Theresa helped me find my seats and the last thing she said to me was "you are going to love this, you are so lucky!" It just made me feel so good about the whole experience. They usually have a cocktail and mocktail that are themed after the show, which I think is so cute. This last time I was there, they were offering mini Molly Moons ice creams and chocolate covered oreos from Seatown Sweets. Love that they incorporate local offerings. This is a really special place filled with special people and I love coming here.

This show has a ton of potential, and you could even branch out with other types of villains (like comic books, movies, etc.). This was my first time seeing a show there and I'll definitely be back! One thing I would suggest is either specifying it's kid-friendly material, that it's for mature audiences, or will have both, 'cause some of the jokes clearly had to be modified. Also a message in the beginning about photography/video would be helpful!

We were here on Tuesday night when they charge $5 per guest for nearly 2 hours of entertainment (depending on the line up of performers). We sat through about 15-20 performers, got to learn great new stuff about the Seattle community and by the end my ears were hurting from my husband's loud laugh(Just kidding). Each of the comedians performed like a pro. They don't serve food and drinks downstairs so if you need something, you need to bring it from the bar or restaurant upstairs.
