    The balcony has a killer view if you're not one to dance. Don't forget your earplugs!

    The acoustics and the headliners here are fantastic! Look up at the amazing ceiling – it might distract you from what’s on stage. Bathrooms and coat check are downstairs.

    Went here for the Ratatat show. Awesome acoustics, lasers, lighting and smoke machines. One of the best venues for this type of show.

    Very spacious venue for those who like to dance to the show otherwise the balcony seats are a must at least once as the surroundings are amazing.

    If you're here for live music, grab a beer before beelining to the front of the floor area by the stage. It will be a long walk through the crowd otherwise.

    Good acoustics! If you sit in the mezzanine section and you are short, do not sit in rows C, E, G, I, K.. Etc

    Fresco angels and multiple balconies date back to 1906, but perfomances by present-day stars include Beyonce, The Metropolitan Opera, Leonard Bernstein, and more.

    This venue is beautiful. The design is impeccable, and the sound is great too. I've seen some incredible shows here.

    I do not like it when bands I like play shows here because it straight up feels like one of those big mega churches (which also, it is).

    This is a great venue for professional wrestling Ring of Honor, ECW.

    Better than T5 but that's a huge endorsement! Bars have long lines and the acoustics are poor on the floor unless you get up front and close to the action.

    Concert was great but the seats were HORRIBLE! As in they were super uncomfortable. I guess you don't go to a concert to sit, but it's still worth noting.

    The best sound in this former opera house is about seven rows back in the first mezzanine.
