The Eccles is a sophisticated place to see a show and the layout makes it seem as if there are less people there than are really in attendance.

City Creek is also close by if you wanted to do some shopping beforehand. Theater itself is very clean. They do have a small concession stand. They also have a restaurant inside that would be fun to try before the play! The production of Phantom of the opera was incredible. We sat on the fourth row. I highly recommend sitting on that row or closer! The cast was outstanding and super talented. I highly recommend!

I've had the opportunity to attend a number of shows here, most recently A Christmas Story and…read moreJersey Boys. Every show I've seen has been well done and worthy of accolades. I appreciate the variety they offer-a little something for everyone. The theater itself is pretty comfortable and all the seats could be considered "good" seats. I kind of like the balcony because you get a fuller view of the stage than you might get down on the floor. The bathrooms are a little on the smaller side, and can get crowded at intermission. But if you plan ahead, you might be able to skip that. I appreciate that they offer some concessions and allow them inside during the show. The Utah chocolate is my favorite, and has become routine anytime I come here. There's a good amount of parking nearby or the Stadium Trax station is a short walk from the theater. Overall, it's a nice theater and I'm glad we have this in our community. Support the arts!

Also, don't expect to be comfortable. Unless you understand the language of the opera, the box seats are horrible - seeing back stage is distracting, sound isn't surround so you sometimes can't hear parts, and the subtitles are not in your eye-line. Bathrooms are clean but again, small stalls and not a lot of room. Concessions is very basic and you're only allowed water in the theatre. Due to the affordability, I'll continue to buy season tickets. There's no plans to upgrade this place unfortunately so we're stuck with a mediocre design - you're best best is to call and ensure you sit exactly where you want for your desired experience.

I'm from New York City and regularly attended the New York City Ballet at the Lincoln Center. I…read morepretty much thought enjoying the ballet was over for me when moving out west and was very surprised to find a world class experience here in Salt Lake City. The Capitol Theatre is a worthy home of the high-quality work that is presented here. It's a little bit less grand than what I'm used to, but still a beautiful stage and curtain that is well appointed and does what any good theater should. It successfully puts your mind in body in that space where you're ready to digest an artistic effort with just the right amount of respect and anticipation that is appropriate. It's also well managed. I've been to a couple of events held here in the lobby that were again... Perfectly conceived and executed. This is a real feather in Salt Lake City's cap.

As a lover of theater, I was surprised to learn about this one that is tucked away in the SLCC…read morecampus. I'd never heard of it until I discovered that they were playing Rocky Horror Picture Show-the live version. Since our annual pilgrimage to Tower Theater didn't happen this year (thanks Covid) I was eager to find an alternative. It wasn't until my wife and I pulled into the parking lot, 30 minutes before showtime, that we realized this wasn't the movie, this was a real honest-to-goodness play. Gulp. How was this going to be? Fast forward a couple hours...it was AMAZING! I know this review isn't about the show itself, but rather the venue. So I'll say that the theater itself was beautiful, very comfortable and spacious. It accommodated a large audience nicely, with plenty of legroom and aisle space. I didn't feel cramped, like I do in other local, small theaters. Parking is plentiful, and free. I felt like our car was safe in the lot, and it was well lit, providing extra security. Now that I know this little gem is here, I'll look into what other plays they have coming up and will very likely return.

i bought tickets for family members as a gift. we all went to "Thriller". don't waste your money…read more i am embarrassed that this was their gift. the cost is the same as Hale Theater, go there instead!!!! i'm not sure who wrote the script, they need to go back to the drawing board. the performers talents were wasted in this show!!!! soooo sooo unfortunate, so much filler that didn't make any sense. seemed like something for grade schoolers. Bubbles the Klown's opening act needs to be cut and his character changed. more dancing and singing would have been great. that's what i thought we had purchased tickets for. soo disappointing.

After my last experience, I was really hesitant to return…read more However, I am a firm believer of 2nd chances (within reason), so I decided to give this place another try... and I'm glad that I did. Everything -- from the food, to the actors, to the comedy, to the plot -- was exceedingly better than before. The last time I was here, I came in a group, and none of us liked anything about it... and because I was the one who suggested it, I felt particularly embarrassed. Everyone in the group loved it this time around, though; including me:) Kudos to them for stepping up their game!

General admission is free, and there is a donation jar near the entrance for anyone who would like to help support the planetarium. The exhibits were educational, engaging, and very interactive. We saw a model of Earth, looked at several types of telescopes, learned how tornadoes form, and explored a variety of hands-on games and activities. The moon exhibit was one of our favorite areas. We enjoyed learning about the moon in such a fun way, and getting to touch a real moon rock made the experience even more memorable. The upper floors also offered interesting exhibits about energy, space, and science. Unfortunately, a few of the interactive exhibits were not working during our visit, so I hope they will be repaired soon. Even so, we had an amazing experience, and I highly recommend the Clark Planetarium--especially for families with children. I paid $3.50 for an hour of street parking, but there is also a nearby parking garage. The shopping and dining area behind the planetarium was very convenient and only a short walk away. If you plan to stay longer or visit the surrounding shops and restaurants, the garage may be the better option.

This was a cool find upon my exploration of Salt Lake City!…read more I have been reading and following a book this summer called The Artist Way where the idea is to write morning pages to open your mind and flow with creativity. Additionally, it tasks you with one thing each week as your "Artist's Date." That could be anything from rummaging through an estate sale, going to a funky shop by yourself.. basically any new experience. This venture into the tabernacle served as my artist's date for the week. Honestly I was more into exploring downtown Salt Lake than planning to head to the temple grounds, but as I got closer I grew intrigued to see it. I also had someone following me and shouting obscenities, so when I saw the green space here (and security officers and crowds), I thought, sure, why not head that way?! The tabernacle has a presence, for sure. It was quiet, with some people pulling up seats in the pews and just kicking back. There was no live choir, but at one point a recording of choir went off and added a nice ambiance. Someone got up to do an acoustic display; they dropped a pencil without a mic and I could hear it clear as day in the back. The domed roof allows for that, similar to many cathedrals I've been in across Europe. I enjoyed the energy here. I heard lots of Mormons connecting as many had traveled from various cities and continents, and while not Mormon myself, I caught glimpses of their community and belonging that were nice to observe. Sometimes the unplanned discoveries when out and about, or on the artist's date in this case, are some of the more fun elements of day to day living. This one definitely snuck up on me, and I'm grateful for the brief experience.
