Amanda Lewis: Come on time
Serzhan Sakipov: Performance is great, service is great, architecture is great too. I've found nothing to be disappointed with.
Arlene Murphy: Wicked is great. Just like Gershwin theatre in NYC
Doug Ray: Fun fact: Once called the Stanley Theater, it is where Reggae legend Bob Marley performed his last live show.
Kirsten Sears: The cheap seats in the very back row at the top of the house are my new favorite place. No leg room, so make sure you choose seats on the aisle. Sat in the center section, could see the stage no prob.
