Small, quaint venue. Awesome for accommodating the ARTS (all forms)…read more I had the pleasure of attending JPEK production: Real Life: A Hip Hopera. Amazing work by the entire staff from musical engineering, lighting, talented actors, concessions and panelists. The play touched on real life topics; not just relevant to St. Louis but nationwide hot topics. Seating can be tight...this was a sold-out event. However I believe the seats were setup to make those attending as comfortable as possible. Snacks & wine were available for purchase, restroom was clean and facility itself well kept. Easy to find in the Grand Arts District. Plenty of private lot as well as off-street parking available. ~Christy

So, this review is about the venue itself. Free parking across the street is convenient and a plus for me when considering attending future events. Full bar available before show and at intermission. The theatre is rather small holding about 100 people. Seating is U shaped around the stage. So, this is not a bad thing as you are fully emerged in the show. I will consider future shows.

If the show is good, enjoy the Marcelle. Had seating on the ground level on the side of the stage…read more Unfortunately, the show faces forward for same price. A bit awkward. Like free parking lot, but get there early. Nice space for small productions.

Don't miss the human cannonball during intermission. We did eat any of the food, but the prices seemed reasonable, medium for inflation prices.

Large screen, large seating area, staggered seats, good sound system, friendly staff, and candy dishes in the lobby. I like that it's only a single screen theater, it not only reminds me of the old days but I don't have to worry about sound from a next door theater leaking through. The lobby and bathrooms have a fun collection of old movie posters and headshots, including one of my all time favorite movies - Paper Moon. The Back Lot is new and has comfortable seats, though not recliners. They show more artsy, indie films back there, or movies that have outlived the necessity for the larger seating capacity, and it's cozy. I think it seats 45 people or so. The only drawback to the theater is the bathroom location for the main theater. It's upstairs up a large flight of stairs with narrow steps. My mom hates going up the stairs, even after the film when there's time to navigate the steps. It's definitely a better/quicker trek than the bathrooms at Plaza Frontenac theaters but difficult for people with limited mobility.

I love coming here. Been here for events and for regular movie seeing and both are great. What I…read morereally love is how nice and funny the staff is. They're always helpful and make it a good experience. This isn't the most lavish theater but the prices are so good you won't care. In my experience it's not too crowded especially if you go on a week night and see an older movie. I love the $5 Wednesday shows. Parking is always pretty easy if you park by the Cheesecake Factory.

The golden pillars, high decorative ceiling and the whole architectural structure of the place is reminiscent to a classic opera house. I've only ever sat at the lower mezzanine close to the loge boxes. The seats are plush and comfortable and roomy enough to not feel like you're atop one another. They also have built in cup holders for your beverage. Their concession stands sell adult beverage and soft drinks or bottled water and popcorn. The prices are akin to that of other concert venues (e.g., a can of seltzer or beer for $13-14). They have canned wine but generally not a fan of wines in a can. I would imagine they would be more of the boxed wine quality but who knows. I've attended the Radiohead x Brahms concert here which was amazing and more recently, Tori Amos. Phenomenal venue for the concerts I've attended! The acoustic is excellent, nice stage production lighting, and the incline of the mezzanine seating are perfect that even if someone tall is in front of you, you will still get a good view of the stage. Their ushers are very helpful and the concession workers are very friendly. Basically, from the moment you come in, there's always someone helping you if you have issues locating your seats, the bathroom, etc. I need to check their event calendar more often and attend more shows here. Until next time!

Well color me impressed…read more I am not a regular at the opera. To be honest, it's not my favorite thing to do. My wife loves it so I'm usually just along for the ride, and my hopes weren't very high for our night at the Union Avenue Opera. I'm happy to admit that my thoughts about this beautiful place were completely wrong. We showed up for La bohème and I realized I had actually been in a wedding before in the very same church -- the place is beautiful. Parking was free and extremely easy, and staff was on hand to assist. Once inside, we had plenty of help finding our way to our (comfortable! padded!) seats, and from what I can tell there wasn't a bad seat in the house. We were a little surprised that the entire show would be 2 hours and 40 minutes with intermissions and we had to actually leave early to make another commitment, so that was a bummer. Plan ahead because you'll probably be here for a while! Intermissions are long -- one was 20-25 minutes and the other was closer to 15. I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff, the set, the performers, and the venue. What a talented group of individuals. It was humbling to see such extreme talent right here in our city. Go get yourself some culture and enjoy the Union Avenue Opera!

However, upon arriving on time, we were herded into the General Admission queue and waited for over 2 hours just to enter the first house. To make matters worse, there were multiple lines even after this long wait, AND the power went completely off three separate times for prolonged periods of time.
