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 recently had our second trip to the Paramount, and it was as delightful as the first!…read more My wife, son, and I went to see John Mulaney recently, and it was quite a delightful show. 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.

Ok this place is super cool. I can't believe I only found out about this venue recently!…read more To get to the theater, you go around the corner from the bar entrance and through this back alleyway door. It feels very covert, like you need to know a guy who knows a guy with a password to get in. You can also enter through the bar (I think). We initially went through the side door to get our tickets scanned in and then went in and out of the bar between acts to grab a drink. We weren't able to bring drinks into the actual theater, but not a huge deal. If anything, keeps the venue cleaner. There aren't any seats, just tiered standing platforms. Honestly, even with it being packed, I felt like we had a pretty good view of ~80% of the stage. The one thing I will say is that with everyone standing, you would think there'd be more movement/dancing. But alas, this is still Seattle and most people were bopping their heads to the music while I just wanted to swing around and feel it in my soul.

There is available street parking however it can be tricky and limited due to the narrow streets. The theater shares an entrance with a jazz bar which provides a comfortable seating area to enjoy a drink while waiting for a show. We came to see the Rocky Horror Burlesque Pastie Show and was impressed at the capacity of this small theater. Beyond the hallway, patrons are immediately welcomed to second bar and a sea of padded chairs. The theater was packed with Rocky Horror Picture fans with some proudly wearing costumes of their favorite characters. The show started a little later than advertised however we were kept entertained during the slight delay. The seats were comfortable and we had an unobstructed view of the stage. This was our first time seeing a Rocky Horror Show in burlesque and we didn't know what to expect. Audience participation was encouraged and specific names (which I will not repeat) were yelled out when either Brad or Janet took the stage. Overall, a wonderful group adventure night full of sing-a-longs, heckling, and cocktails. Drink prices and show tickets were cheap compared to other venues.

But... the coffee is unremarkable and there's no excuse for that in Seattle. The food in the Derby restaurant is ok if you want big greasy burgers, but I don't eat that stuff. So I was among the original members, and I kept my Ferrari there for a while, but I was paying too much and getting too little.

It was very fun and saw lots and lots and lots of cool cars from the classics to celebrity owners vehicles to some personal vehicles and well. I would say it last maybe around like a good 30-45 min of checking the place out and then towards the end they have a little I guess restaurant area where you can eat for a bit, there was a very long wait but thankfully the hostess got us in asap so was very thankful for that gesture! Their food was ok but I did love the vibes since there's a window you could look at to some more cars and stuff while you're eating.

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.

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.

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!

HOWWW HAVE I NOT WRITTEN A REVIEW FOR SALON OF SHAME. HOW. WHY. I'M GONNA BEAT MY OWN ASS…read more Salon of Shame is one of the best things that I've ever seen. I kid you not. This is something you HAVE to experience at least once. It's awkward. It's raw. It's real. It's embarrassing as hell. Even if you aren't the one up there, you're gonna feel second hand embarrassment. I promise you. I mean... You're watching someone read their high school (or even middle school or elementary) diaries to a room full of strangers. And then on top of that, the MC is great at getting the crowd engaged and riled up. It really is such a great time. Bonus: They serve up draaanks during the shows! Get your buzz on and laugh your ass off. There's literally no better time than this. Are you still reading this? Okay, full stop... And go buy your tickets to their next show!

I recently learned about this for the first time by missing out on getting into a yelp event where…read morea few select yelpers had the opportunity to watch the show. From the second I heard about it I knew that I had to check it out for myself. Listening to people read diaries and letters from their past sounded like the best time ever. Plus they sell drinks. I can not believe this concept does not appeal to some people. Unfortunately it is hard to get into and only one day a month, with tickets only being sold a month in advance. I hear the smaller venue often sells out. I signed up for the email and liked the facebook page to make sure I would stop missing it. It may be easier to get in if you are one of the brave souls who is willing to share their most vulnerable selves, but I am much more willing to pay the 15$ to watch others suffer, although I did debate volunteering to do chairs for free admission. Many months later I finally found a day I could go and convinced a friend to join me. We ended up arriving late and while we were super close had some items blocking our view of the stage. The pictures that go along with the readings are amazing, as is the sign language interpretation. It seemed like many readers may be frequents, but there were some newbies as well. I really enjoyed the commentary that accompanied the evening. Its also reassuring to know that their is a time limit in case its not a reader whose story enthralls you. Definitely check it out and if you can convince a friend to go on stage and read so they can take you for free!

Frank B is here is here to share its one of the worst venues in Seattle. Granted live music is played inside but it's a warehouse with zero site lines for quality viewing.

Should you have mental health issues this might trigger you... I'll skip any show if it's scheduled at Showbox SODO. Aside from bad venue you must consider parking & personal safety in the area as another factor. Don't say I didn't give you fair warning.
