Uninspired and downright awful architecture and somewhat weird parking lots spread out make this a somewhat uninviting venue from the outside. However, free parking in this day of being gouged for just about everything is a big plus. The auditorium is much larger inside that one would expect by perusing the seating chart. Seats are big and very comfy. Plenty of legroom. Great acoustics. Not a bad seat in the house. Ushers were friendly but very slow and inefficient at checking tickets. Overall, it's just okay.

Nice auditorium and nice singing and dancing from the performers. Clean and well-maintained place for big events.

I enjoyed the performance tonight and regret that I have missed eleven seasons before deciding to…read morecome to this theater! The experience far exceeded my expectations, very entertaining and put on by a diverse and devoted group of people, both on and off stage. Tonight's performamce was Miss Bennet, Christmas at Pemberley. It was very entertaining and also very moving, we left the theater with alot to reflect on and think about. We bought our tickets online at www.classictheatre.org

This is a cute little hole-in-the-wall, black box theater that brings an intimate look into the…read moretheatrical productions it produces. The theater itself is attached to the Woodlawn Theater and shares restroom facilities with the Woodlawn. Running a separate series of smaller shows, the Classic Theater offers a theater-in-the-round experience with the audience seated on all sides of the theater which can allow audience interaction with the professional cast. The seating is comfortable, but you'll need the intermission to get up and stretch your legs as the chairs can get a tad uncomfortable. The theater also allows no outside food or drinks, but does have water and wine for donation (at least this was during the show we attended). Overall, the cast was excellent in Midsummer Night's Dream. They brought a refreshing perspective and performance for Shakespeare's work, which truly showed why Shakespeare should be consumed in theatrical form rather than reading, and the acting was intimate and, yet, bombastic at the same time. The cast really showed skill and thought with each word spoken, and they brought the characters to life while leaving themselves behind. With the theater-in-the-round, they worked the entire room as well as made me feel that the show was put on solely for me. I had had that same sense of disbelief in quite a long time during a theatrical production. The quality of the production also showed. Even though it seemed like a relatively low budget affair, it wasn't lacking the quality of a truly great show. My husband and I are already planning our time back to enjoy another production and we look forward to becoming regular patrons of the arts at the Classic.

This is the best technologically advanced performance theater in town. I toured it when it was…read moreunder construction. The seat configurations alone blow all other theaters out of the water. I will say if you go for an orchestra, avoid the lower orchestra outer edge seats as there's no exit aisle. You have to walk past your entire row to get to the spot if you are a bigger man. Most shows will have an intermission which allows you to get up, use RR, grab a quick snack and get back to your seat in time for the action. Modern meets classic. Classic exterior, modern exterior and interior. I suggest coming for a classical music performance and when coming with a date, sit in the mezzanine. Great view and feels more intimate.

Amazing venue and great sound quality!…read more The Tobin offers an upscale experience with friendly staff, a range of price points, and nice sound quality. Prepaid garage or valet parking options are available as well as a convenient parking lot a short walk away. The show was loud, especially for an acoustic performance, but the sound quality was great. Overall, there is a variety of price points, so you can splurge on club seating with table service, or choose the balcony to save the piggy bank. We sat in the mezzanine section however next time I would prefer to sit closer to the stage. While some of the ticket prices were on the high side, you can sign up for the newsletter to receive discounts on upcoming shows. The price of drinks was outrageous but sadly typical for a concert. I did not order food or beverages but be sure you view the menu / price list ahead of your visit. There was no meet & greet or photo opportunity offered for this event but I hope that is an option at future events. Definitely consider the Tobin when your favorite band is in town!

They truly made the experience memorable, and I would highly recommend seeing them. Unfortunately, the venue was experiencing air conditioning issues during a Texas summer. Handing out small paper fans wasn't enough to keep the audience comfortable in the heat. Because I was trying to stay hydrated, I ended up missing a large portion of the concert with multiple restroom breaks. It's disappointing that attendees weren't notified of the air conditioning issue beforehand or given the opportunity to reschedule. Knowing the conditions in advance would have allowed guests to make an informed decision. I would absolutely recommend the Candlelight Concert series because the musicians are exceptional. However, I would encourage attending at a different venue where the audience can comfortably enjoy the performance from beginning to end.

The only issue that I had and it might be more of a pet peeve is that they did not check tickets. The woman at the front was very friendly and said we looked trustworthy or something along those lines. The reason why this is a pet peeve is that I have run into issues with this before. It was not at this theatre but another. Someone else was already in the seats that I paid for. I decided not to make a big deal of it and sat somewhere else. At the end of the show, I could hear someone taking about how good the show was and how they couldn't believe it was free. This did not happen at this theatre but it could if they continue with not checking tickets. I recommend this place for good plays and good drinks.
