Ogunquit Playhouse

The Ogunquit Playhouse is a gem! At 93 years old, it’s full of history and charm, and our aisle seats (rows N & O, left side) had a perfect view. Elvis Meets the Beatles was high-energy, fun, and superbly performed, with colorful sets and a great storyline. A fabulous night in a legendary theater! Elvis was spot on. Little Richard was fantastic The Journalist Chris was convincing and the Beatles were entertaining.

Excellent production- grateful to watch a beautiful show excellent pricing and seating! Staff was super helpful and friendly which was so much appreciated. As Arnold Schwarzenegger would say "I'll be back!" ~Sillygirl

My wife watched her grandparents go to this theatre 70+ years ago. She said she'd go one day. I'm pleased to report she finally made it. They've obviously kept up and improved technology. The seating is very spacious. Sound is excellent. Technology for the stage is up to date. The show was excellent too

Lovely spot to see a show! We saw Little Shop of Horrors, and it was simply amazing. The performers were very talented. It was so nice to see this level of performance in the area. The stage props were also awesome! The movement of the scenery added so much character to the performance. My only small gripe is the parking; you are packed in tight, but they have a system, and you just need some patience on your way out. We loved it so much we are going to see it again in a few days!

The first show I saw here was 'Singing in the Rain' oh my gosh - such a grand show!! Then I attended the Davinci Code, which was also great, in a different way. The Playhouse is clean, staff is friendly, parking is a dream - so efficient. Cannot wait to go again! Maine, here I come! Just saw their new show 5/29/25. Amazing!!! Hoping to go back to see Titanic later this season. Next year, I think I will get season tickets, worth it for sure.

We saw Titanic at the playhouse. Parking was strange. Tight lines of car similar to how they load ferries. If the car in front of you doesn't move neither do you. The slant in the theater could be a little steeper. The heads of the people in front of you tend to block the front of the stage.

Great place. We saw "When Elvis Met The Beatles ". Great show. Had a really enjoyable time.

October 2025 Came to see Titanic. It was good. We hung around had drinks. Sat down and watched the show.

I wouldn't expect such a small theater to have Broadway shows, but it seems this had developed as an important theater where many famous actors have performed. Because it's an older theater, their solution to a smaller parking lot is to have everyone park in a long row, and they make you pull up so that you're bumper to bumper. If the cars in front of you hustle to the parking lot, it's fine. If they don't, you're stuck until they show up as the cars park so close you can't even get out. I don't love that, but there is nowhere else around to park nearby. The lobby is pretty small and gets very crowded before the doors open. There are snacks and souvenirs for purchase. They don't have a bag check, so I brought my own water, which was great. The theater itself is small and cozy, so most seats will have a good view. I saw Come from Away and was definitely seated closer and more affordably than I could have been in a NYC venue. The performers were all very talented - this isn't just some locals who got on stage. The warned many, many times there was no intermission, and they wouldn't let you back in if you needed to use the restroom, which seemed a bit extreme. There were a lot of other good shows in the upcoming season, so if you are from nearby or staying in the area, it's worth checking out what's on stage. It's a good experience at a good price.

This show was fantastic! 5 stars. This was our 1st time seeing a show here. The performers were incredibly talented. They all sang beautifully. Truly an unforgettable experience I won't forget. Will be back!

I recently saw an amazing production of Little Shop of Horrors at Ogunquit Playhouse! The quality of production was amazing; such great talent, beautiful costuming, clear attention to detail. I was so happy I was able to make this performance and so glad to have the opportunity to visit the Playhouse for the first time. I was also very impressed with the staff and volunteers at the Playhouse. Where I could see definite areas of improvement would be facilities: specifically the accessibility and bathrooms. When I arrived, there were several people struggling to enter the building because of lips at doorways, heavy doors with no automatic opening, etc. and even the accessible seats were tight and difficult to get to for people with different abilities. Some staff/volunteers were around to help, but not enough. As a patron, I helped people with doors and pushing wheelchairs over the thresholds of doors. I was happy to help, but it would have been more comfortable for everyone had there been better threshold transitions and staff available to help. The restrooms were also not clearly marked, including the exits and entrances. People leaving the pavilion restrooms kept rounding the corner and running into the people waiting in line. There was also a much longer line for the women's restrooms than men's at the pavilion, and once inside I saw they were all single-stall, fully enclosed units, so I was confused why the entire set of pavilion restrooms weren't just all-gender. I know this is an old building, but it seemed like better decisions could be made to make it more efficient and accessible for patrons.

I love this playhouse. I have been coming here for over 20 years now. The theatre is pretty big but enough to make it cozy. They sell drinks and a few snacks. They always sell souvenirs like t shirts, cups, sweatshirts, stickers, for example. The people working here are friendly and helpful as can be. Parking here isn't bad. They ask you if you are leaving by north or south so they can direct you the best place to park. Leaving here is not so bad as other big venues like Gillette Stadium in Fox-borough MA. I came on the last night of Waitress yesterday and I enjoyed it so much! It's a wonderful local playhouse. The actors are always Great!! This one was especially Awesome!! I had tears in my eyes at the end. It was that good! I would recommend coming here if you never have experienced it. I will be back.

Worth every penny. We saw Come From Away and it was as good as Broadway from Set Design to Acting and Singing. Will go every time we visit.

Recently saw Guys and Dolls here. Honestly, not a bad seat in the house. The chairs are really comfy too. When you arrive, people are outside asking if you are traveling north or south and park you accordingly to minimize traffic later. Staff is incredibly friendly and the acoustics are great in there. The show was fantastic. I intend on returning!

Singin' in the Rain has always been one of my favorite movies and the show at Ogunquit Playhouse really did it justice. On the evening we attended, Gene Kelly's wife introduced the show which was so unexpected and raised the the experience to the next level. The performances were spectacular: the singing, tap dancing, and physical comedy were all Broadway quality. Christian Probst, the actor that played Cosmo, really stole the show with Make 'em Laugh, although Max Clayton's Singin' in the Rain, complete with rain(!) was a close second. The playhouse itself is a delight. We got there a little early to enjoy the well manicured grounds and the outdoor bar/patio and everyone we interacted with was helpful. They also sent an email with all the details just before the show explaining the parking, the purchase of drinks/snacks must be done with a card, etc. The headshots of former performers like Tallulah Bankhead and Christopher Plummer in the entryway serve as reminders that the history of the Ogunquit Playhouse makes it even more special. They really seem to have everything down here--my only wish is that they had velvet ropes or something similar to make entering the theater itself more organized. Once the doors opened, it was just a mad dash to the people checking tickets. Otherwise, the show we saw was Broadway quality on a smaller scale which made for a perfect evening. We are so fortunate to have this gem of a venue in Maine!

My partner and I had the pleasure of checking out the Oguntquit Playhouse over the weekend to catch "On Your Feet," and wow, were we in for an incredible treat. We were both taken aback by how friendly and helpful the volunteers were - it really set a welcoming tone for the evening. The show was beyond impressive. The quality and caliber of the performance left us completely blown away. Last time I experienced something like this was in NYC, on Broadway. The venue itself was beautiful. It felt like walking back in time. Also, we loved ordering our drinks from the outdoor gazebos, during intermission. It added a touch of magic to our night. I was a bit worried about parking after getting an email before the performance saying it could be tricky, but even that turned out to be a non-issue. Everything was organized and efficient, which made the evening even more enjoyable. we are excited our next visit to the Oguntquit Playhouse. This place truly knows how to deliver a fantastic theater experience that goes beyond the stage.

Saw "When Elvis Met the Beatles" this afternoon. The talent was amazing, especially Elvis. However, there should have been more music and not so much conversation. I realize that the actors had to build the story, but that caused long periods that started to become a little boring. We were a little disappointed. I have been to many productions over the years and they were all stellar.

Absolutely lovely venue. Visited on a beautiful fall night to see Beautiful, the Carole King Musical. A spectacular performance! Very friendly and helpful staff. The historical building is well maintained with additional outdoor restrooms to accommodate intermission. Looking forward to next season!

Had a fantastic experience here watching Cher. The lights in this theater are absolutely spectacular - you know, the lightbulb Hollywood theatrical ones? The talent was fantastic. The seats were decently comfy and I could see the whole stage - maybe because an older short lady was sitting in front of me thankfully. The crowd was terrific. I liked all the history and pictures around the theater. Great about masks and safety. Hand sanitizer everywhere.

My wife and I saw The Da Vinci Code here Saturday afternoon. We found the staff very friendly and accommodating. The sight lines are fantastic and there's not a bad seat in the house. The play was excellent, and the actors were tremendous. My only gripe is you can get stuck in the parking lot if the people parked around you are slow to get back to their cars. But overall, the Ogunquit Playhouse is a fantastic place to see a show.

Well, this was just an incredible surprise. We were on an extended road trip all over New England when we drove through the town of Ogunquit and saw this theatre in town. Intrigued, we got to our hotel later that night and looked it up. After reading through some of the history and feeling especially spontaneous, we decided to go for it and bough tickets to "Beautiful: The Carol King Story" for the following night. We rolled in with not much expectation. The theatre itself is a little old and dated, which I think is part of the charm. As one of the OG summer stock theatres that remains, you know they are legit when you see photos of Betty White and dozens of other old school stars that have graced the stage. We parked in the lot (just a field where you park bumper to bumper and then have to wait for everyone to clear out after the show), found our seats. and were pleased at the theater itself. It's small enough to feel intimate and special but large enough that you're really part of a bigger-feel in the show. The show itself blew us away. The talent was top notch, and we discovered that some of the cast had played their roles on Broadway and were summering here in Maine. We're talking top talent at a fraction of the Broadway price, and I can't point to any member of the cast as a weak or less-than. Indeed, an incredible surprise. We loved the show, the whole experience was a delightful and impromptu part of our trip.

Wow, we saw "Young Frankenstein" at the "outdoor" tent at the Ogunquit Playhouse and were impressed with the venue and production. We've never sat inside, so can't compare, but it felt that they created a first rate theater experience under the tent. Lighting, sound and stage were excellent. We saw a matinee on a chilly afternoon, so I can see that it could get pretty cold for the evening performances. They leave the large doors open so there is plenty of airflow and masks are required. This was our first theater experience since the pandemic began, and we felt very comfortable. The production itself was a hoot, and even better than the movie. It was a musical, not my favorite genre, but this really worked, Talented performers, made for a fun and memorable evening. Do not hesitate!!

Left York on the new Shorts Sand Road to attend Jimmy Buffett's Escape to Margaritaville. What a joy... this theater has gone out of there way during Covid by installing a huge outdoor tent to bring back live theater to Southern Maine! We had seats three from the back row and then someone told us we could move forward as it was not a sold out show. I think people are a little hesitant about indoor seating during this period of time and now we have to wear masks again because some won't get the vaccine. The view was good and the sound of the music was just great... including all the great music of Jimmy Buffett. Sometimes the words were a little muffled all in all it was a great evening. They had two areas for purchasing cocktails, an area for souvenirs and an area for taking selfies. Looking forward to next year when we can get back into this wonderful historical theater in Ogunquit Maine!

The Production of 'A Little Night Music' left me wondering why I had spent so much for the tickets... The performance was lacking in so many areas, it was not as Sanheim had envisaged. What really disturbed me was the current political reference made regarding the attempted assassination of President Trump. The reaction from the audience was extreme to say the least... applauding and laughing! Totally disgusted.. Will avoid this venue in future.... What a shame!

I have seen a few shows at the Ogunquit Playhouse and all have been wonderful. This is such a great theater and they have wonderful productions each summer. I recently saw Waitress which was exceptionally good. I highly recommend going here if you are in the area to catch a performance. You will not be disappointed.

Charming old summer stock theater that keeps both talented actors and audiences coming back summer after summer. Does it look a bit like a high school auditorium? Yes. Is the parking system unusual and potentially frustrating? Also yes. However, it is run with skill and love and you're going to get a far better quality of performance-- acting, set design, special effects, etc.-- than you could reasonably expect in a beach town in Maine. If the parking worries you, park in town and walk to the theater. There are sidewalks all the way so it's quite doable.

What a great place to see a show! We saw "Singing in the Rain" on a Saturday night and it was the last performance of the show. The crowd was really into it. This theatre has so much charm and history and was worth the visit. It's a must see in Ogunquit! It was a great show with Broadway talented actors and actresses. This was not a Summer stock show with students acting. We had seats Eight rows from the stage and we could see first hand how talented and happy these performers were. Many of the staff at the playhouse were volunteers and they were all friendly and helpful. You will be a bit confused on the parking situation but trust me it worked out fine. And it's free too! The price for the show was reasonable considering the quality of the show. We can't wait to go back and see another show. I wish they gave tours of the playhouse because I would go in a second. Worth the trip!

When in Ogunquit Maine, add the Ogunquit Playhouse to your "to do" list! We've been attending shows here for many years! Broadway quality productions with NYC actors! Full out scenery and costumes and incredible production values! We've never been disappointed!! Always blown away!! We look forward to it every year and sometimes twice or three times a year during the summer months! 2021 they built an incredible outdoor structure to hold the shows because of the pandemic! Absolutely amazing!!! We saw Spamalot and Escape to Margaritaville! Going back in Oct to see Young Frankenstein!! Visit Ogunquit (beautiful place by the sea) and attend a show at the playhouse at night or take in a matinee, you will be happy that you did!

We just left halfway through the Sanheim production of A Little night music. It wasn't funny and it wasn't entertaining and we were very happy to leave because it was so boring. It was $200 for the tickets for the two of us and we would've paid it again in order to leave.

This is a great venue in a beautiful place. They have great quality shows! The staff is amazingly helpful. And it's so easy to see a great quality show in a convenient location.

We have seen many shows at this lovely summer theater. Recently I saw Waitress with my husband and the wonderful manager went out of her way to help us. This is very unusual in this day and age. Everyone is extremely kind here but I can see why with this wonderful lady leading the way! Thank you for making our night.

What a fun night we had in this historic playhouse. We saw The Nutty Professor and were so impressed at the performers' level of talent. I loved the little cocktail garden outside before the show. Thanks for offering masks, I wore mine but my sisters didn't, they got COVID!! It is still out there, so please keep offering masks for people who don't want to get sick. Thanks, I appreciated it.

Other than particularly small seats and space between rows I absolutely love this theater and have since I moved to Maine almost 25 years ago. Sometimes season-ticket holder, mostly just two or three shows a year whatever strikes me, I'm regularly blown away by the immense talent that comes here from New York to act and sing and dance in these shows. I've never seen a bad show here. The first time I saw "Beautiful, the Carole King story", I believe it was here many years ago and was really pleasantly surprised then, so excited to come back for it, and it was better than ever. There was not a weak voice in the bunch! I just love the story of these two couples who were songwriters and how the show highlights so many of those songs sung by other popular groups and singers from that era written by them. Another really great show at the Ogunquit Playhouse, highly recommend!

So, they spent $300,000 to build a crappier version of being inside. They call it an enclosed tent, but considering that they put "exit" signs above the exits, how exactly is it that we are still "outside?" They should have invested the money in to their real building instead adding more door and/or windows for fresh air and/or adding a hospital grade heppa air filter system. They also make everyone sit in groups of 2, even if you came with members of your own household. They also want you to wear a mask to you seat, even if you are vaccinated, even with Maine having the highest vaccination rate in the country, and even with Maine have no standing mask laws. It would be helpful if they would add a screen for patrons in the cheap seats to be able to see what is happening on stage more clearly. It appears they are filming the performance anyway, so why not put it on a CC TV?

I have been enjoying shows at Ogunquit Playhouse for a dozen years and was very much looking forward to this one, but they have seriously slipped in "Mr. Holland's Opus". The music was totally forgettable, and the story line was quite different from the movie, with some scenes that made no sense. Moreover, while I have no problem with whatever color Mr. Holland is, the box-checking for all the other currently required categories was quite overdone. The leads were clearly talented, but my advice is to skip this show and to check with friends before buying tickets to another show here. (I edited this review to add a star due to the quality of past shows but I'm now very concerned about what future shows will be like.)

I have seen two shows here in the last two years and both performances were fantastic. The most recent show that I saw with my fiancé was the Nutty Professor and I was amazed at the talent and production. We had great seats but I think the room would provide a great view of the stage from any seat. There is a nice bar and you can take drinks into the show. There is also an outdoor bar for intermission. The seats were fairly comfortable and they have the parking figured out pretty well. I highly recommend!

We were visiting the area and saw this playhouse. I called and luckily they were performing Beautiful! We were so impressed by the entire production. The cast was super talented ! We loved the show!! Don't miss it!!!

Woot, woot ... my 600th review and it is for this lovely playhouse. I cannot believe that I have been coming to Ogunquit for over 25 years and have never been able to coordinate a visit here. Something always got in my way - mostly my kids, who are now no longer kids and need all my attention. I finally got to see my first show here and it was "Kinky Boots". It was epic. My youngest, a budding musical theater major, and I were in the last row dead center and there was great seats. I gotta say, it looks like all the seats are great there so I think we would have been fine anywhere. These are not travelling shows but produced "in house" and the quality is amazing - somebody in another review used the word "gem" and it is no exaggeration. I cannot wait to see my next show!

Their new process for emailing subscriber tickets a week before did not work for me. Two days before the show and I still have not received my tickets. I emailed days ago with no response then called and waited quite a bit for an answer to be told they send them as they should so it must be my email. I had purchased an extra ticket for the show outside of the subscription and immediately received an emailed ticket no problem, and I received the receipts to my email and the visitor rules etc without issue. Their solution is for me to always come an hour before the show to pick up tickets in person. I will not be renewing this subscription.

Saw Beautiful last night. So amazing. The talent was so good. The story was well crafted and a solid mix of her journey musically, the music industry transformations and Carol' personal life. The young woman who played Carol was utterly lovable and engaging. Well worth a visit to this classic and beautiful theatre.

Saw "Beautiful: The Carol King Story" last night. It was excellent. Highly recommend this show if you have the opportunity.

What a gem of a place! I saw Jersey Boys there last week and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The employees were all friendly and helpful and the drinks were delicious. There is no such thing as a bad seat. Also amazing acoustics! It was a unique experience in a darling historic playhouse.

We try to catch a show at the Ogunquit Playhouse when we visit our friends each year in September. This trip we had the pleasure of seeing Jersey Boys. From the time we arrived until we left, the staff at the Ogunquit were so friendly and accommodating. To quote Frankie Valli. "Oh-What a Night" we had! It was an incredibly uplifting and interesting story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. The show moved right along. We wanted to get up and dance in the aisle. Everyone, especially the Baby Boomers, were really into the show. We all were reliving our youth with the music and the story. I learned some things I never knew. The voices were so on point. Also, I had the privilege of seeing Frank Valli and the Four Seasons in Baltimore at the Club Venus in the 1960's. I liked them then and I still like them today. It was a great show.

Great playhouse with a LOT of history that retains the original charm! Sure, it's a bit dated, but that's part of the charm. So cool to be able to see my friend's play here. Love the "social hour" type feel before the show and during intermission, and that you can bring your drinks into the theater so you don't feel like you have to down it like you do at some venues. Great production value, like that of a much larger playhouse, but with a cozier feel - truly no bad seat in the house!

This was our first time at the playhouse and we loved the amazing performance of Bullets Over Broadway! We are used to Broadway shows so the sound isn't as powerful. Would have been nice to have sound coming from the sides/back as well. The seating is incredibly tight, so we'll never get seats not on the isle if we go there again. It would have been impossible to use the bathroom during the show without causing a huge disturbance. Other than that, it was a sweet playhouse.

I've been here twice now. The first time years ago to see footloose, but the most recent time was the opening night of The Addams Family. What a great time. The show was well put together and played through flawlessly. You could tell the cast was very comfortable with their parts and each other. Well worth the time, great night out!

Really awesome performance of mama Mia. Great singing. Excellent dancing. Wonderful cast. Can't say enough. Took my two granddaughters who are huge fans of the Movie. They are 9 and 13. The loved it. What a great memory. Thanks to all the wonderful First Class actors. You work so hard and it shows. Great music and orchestra. So professional. So glad we went!

If you are staying in the beaches region, you absolutely must make time for a show at Ogunquit Playhouse. 1. Its a legacy where a NUMBER of performers have taken stage and 2. You're seeing REAL shows. I was impressed that these shows are produced IN HOUSE, meaning they're not traveling off broadway shows- theyre truly nationally casted and then created for the Ogunquit stage! The sets are always impeccable, the orchestra fills the room with energy, and the performers bring the characters to life(also many of their bios include broadway- so they are top notch!!). The playhouse is quaint and charming, but don't think the shows are low quality. Ticket prices are reasonable, there is plenty of parking, acoustics ensure you hear. As far as seating goes, there is a floor and balcony level, but there isnt really obstructed seating. Tickets do go, so you want to call the box office early to plan your seating! I have seen many plays here, but most recently Kinky Boots. It was glamorous and lively. They do serve concessions at the theater and had a signature show cocktail in addition to offering wine, beer, and a 'cash bar' type of cocktail situation. They also have candy and other treats- our night they had cider donuts for fall. The playhouse is a treasure of Maine and an enjoyable experience for all. Long live the arts!

Not surprisingly, Ogunquit is mobbed with tourists during the summer. My wife and I really love scenic and tranquil Ongunquit, ME particularly during the off season. It's an easy day trip from Lexington...all-in the car ride is about an hour and twenty minutes. I sheepishly admit that I saw Clay Aiken play the lead role in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." The devil made me do it (the devil being my wife on this occasion). We had great seats and the playhouse has decent acoustics...sadly, up close Clay bears a striking resemblance to Bruce Jenner, if Bruce donned a crooked Pippi Longstocking wig. The playhouse was jam-packed with Clay's diehard fanbase: red staters and clesbians. I have never seen so many Subaru Foresters...I thought I was at Subaru dealership.

The shows are outstanding -- if you can see them. The sightline leaves something to be desired, if you get stuck behind people taller than you. Tonight I saw "Victor/Victoria." The show was great, but I could only see half the stage. The right half, where much of the action took place, I could see the back of some man's head. To make matters worse, in front of him was a taller woman. Lots of head-bobbing going on, but not by me. I would really like to see this show again, but the whole thing this time.

I've been to two shows at the Ogunquit Playhouse while vacationing in Ogunquit. The theater definitely has character. Great sets, great costumes, and great actors. Some famous folks have performed here recently: Sally Struthers played in Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (2006) Rue McClanahan played in Crazy For You (2007)

FUN, FUN, FUN! We saw the Ogunquit Playhouse as we pulled into the lovely town of Ogunquit and thought that would be fun to do. Turns out we were there for the opening night of "Anything Goes" with Sally Struthers & Andrea McArdie, the original "Annie" from Little Orphan Annie. We were lucky to get great seats in the middle about 10 rows back. There were many things we liked about this production. The acting was great with lots of fun and laughs. Another star of the show was the Cole Porter's first class score, "Anything Goes", "You're the Top" "It's De-Lovely" & "I get a Kick out of You". Fun fact about the show is Sally Stuther's real dog plays "Cheeky" in the play, a rescue she has had for 2 years. We ordered drinks in advance for intermission and the Procescco was served in a Playhouse Souvenir Cup which you can re-use and save! Such a great idea! The theater has walls of photos of previous talent who have played here, including Patty Duke, Eva Marie Saint, Bette Davis, William Powell, Van Johnson, Lorenzo Lamas, Bob Denver and list goes on! I highly recommend Ogunquit Playhouse as a Must see!

Everything they do is fantastic, and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" is extraordinary. Superb staging and cast!!

I visited Ogunquit Playhouse recently in Ogunquit, Maine. It's a nondescript little theatre but packs a big punch. I saw "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" with the lead actor as Clay Aiken. Clay Aiken was phenomenal as Joseph! Watch him sing "Close Every Door." You'll be inspired! The stage is small but it can house a lot of people at one time. The sound system was very good and you can hear very well in the theatre. Parking is always free for theatre-goers. You park right on the lawn! The handicapped parking lot is right beside the theatre and very convenient for people who need quick access in and out of the theatre. There is a little store that sells Ogunquit Playhouse merchandise, show merchandise and some other items. Customer service at the Box Office is very good and very professional. I was impressed! The ushers were all at hand to help you in any way. Don't miss a show at the Ogunquit Playhouse! Don't miss "Broadway on the Beach!"

This unassuming theater is the GEM of Ogunquit. From the minute you walk up you are greeted warmly by the ushers and concessionaires. I've never experienced such pleasant greetings from theater staff before - absolutely lovely. The performance was EXCELLENT. I have been working in the theater industry for many many years and this playhouse provides top of the line - better than Broadway -- quality performances. Bravo and would definitely come again.

My review is only my opinion of the Seating & Viewing of the stage area from seat " S 113" Center. The play/musical we came to see on Wednesday night was the "Heartbreak Hotel." The performance would have been great if I could have seen it from my seat. Only the acoustics in the theater was clear and crisp sounding - no complaints there. The seats in the theater are too close together, they are not staggered - they are almost directly behind/in front of the other. I tried looking in between the heads of the people in front of me but I had a very difficult time seeing the stage. Plus I thought the incline from the front to back of the theater should have been higher because maybe that would have given me the advantage of looking over the person sitting in front of me? Honestly, I would not waste my money again ($72 a ticket) to see a play at this theater not until they remodel the seating area.
