Theaters are kind-of a mixed bag these days. You have some that are run down and some that are…read moretrying to be super-high-end... but rarely is there anything thats nice and in between. I think that's why the Galaxy Theaters in Monroe shines. Every time I go here, I go when it's fairly quiet (like... 3:00-5:00 during the week). I usually see kids movies or kid-friendly moves... with kids. So, thats my lens, here. Parking is insanely huge and you will have zero issues. The only edge-case is that the Monroe Farmers market (and some other random events and stands) use this gigantic parking lot. Again... it's gigantic and it overflows into other gigantic parking lots... You'll be fine. Buying tickets -- you can buy them online, from a real-life human, or from a self-serve kiosk just inside the main doors. We've had issues with the kiosk thing in the past, and the online system charges you a fee ($2.50 per ticket), so we usually order at the human. They no longer user the windows inside the first door, and you have to go in to the second doors to buy tickets. Not sure what that's about - the old way made more sense to me... but it's whatever. Maybe it's an off-hours thing, too... who knows. Oh, one cool thing about their website, though, is you can pick your seats ahead of time and see how full shows are. Solid intel. The concession stand is very well stocked and always has enough people - you have the usuals: popcorn and candy... drinks: soda, icees, etc... and alcohol (beer, bottles, and mixed drinks)... ice cream... hot stuff (pretzels, pizza, nachos...). It's solid. They've always given me good service - it's quick, efficient, and clean... they get you moving and try not to let long lines occur. The theaters are nice and always surprisingly clean. I don't think I've ever had that "sticky feet" experience where you walk through some old soda spill. So... it's good. We often choose to go to the theater that has the big red, electric recliner chairs. This is a nice little comfort and well spread out - that just makes the experience extra good. I think they have multiple screens with the recliners and if I understand correctly, only the "DFX" and "DBOX" experiences are more expensive. DFX... I've never really paid attention to the difference, and I've never done DBOX. Generally, prices are: Matinees -- $13.25 for adult, $10.00 for child/senior... Evening -- $15.50 for adult, $12.50 for child/senior... and then the "premium experiences" (or whatever you'd call them) are $3.50 more for DFX and $8.00 more for DBOX. Then, like I said... $2.49 more for the service charge if you order online (yikes! not a fan).

The recliner seats are comfortable, but the wine selection is disappointing. If you want a glass…read moreduring the movie, you have to wait in the regular concession line, which can easily take 10 minutes...not very convenient. There are a few employees who are helpful and kind, but the older staff members often seem to be hanging out in the back instead of coming out to help when there are multiple people waiting in line.

Another great event at Lincoln Theater. This time, Epic Queen. Kudos to the staff and hand. This…read morehistoric venue always pleases.

I'm just so SORRY we paid to go to another "musical" here! Like EVERY other time the Orchestra was…read moreso terribly loud i (and mediocre) it was IMPOSSIBLE to understand any of the lyrics and dialog. "Legally Blonde " sounded like a bunch of women SCREECHING at the top of their lungs! Very Very disappointing, yet this venue continues to disappoint on a large scale! SHAME ON THEM, Unfortunately we weren't even seated near the Orchestra. Typically an Orchestra is in the "pit", where it doesn't Drown out everything else. Very, very disappointing, the Sound Tech's were unable to monitor the problem, but seemed emphatic and aware of the problem! Yet they continue to dissapoint.
