Plaza Theatre

Saw the play "What Once Was" and the theater is BEAUTIFUL! Worth the time to explore!

I really liked how the Plaza Theater was so easy to get to. I have to admit that, although I'm not a huge fan of most parking structures in downtown, the parking structure right across from the theater was already somewhat better than most parking structures in downtown. It's a little tricky going uphill in the structure. But once you get to the floor where you want to park, there is plenty of parking space without feeling crammed ! The Plaza Theater itself is an old building. But it has really interesting architecture, exterior design and interior design that make it very nostalgic ! The ceiling is very celestial , with a heavenly aura :) ! It was my first time seeing a show there :D ! I watched "Mean Girls" the musical on Sat (4/6) for the matinee showing and absolutely it :D ! It really brought back wonderful memories of the original 2004 movie starring Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams :) ! The Broadway cast was absolutely spectacular :D ! I purchased an orchestra seat for myself since I went solo and got to meet and chat with a super nice family sitting next to me who have season tickets to the Plaza :) ! I didn't really try any of the speciality drinks or snacks. But a lot of people were in line for these! I may try these on a future outing to the Plaza because they have some exciting shows and concerts coming up later this year :D ! Thank you for such a fantabulous first time at the Plaza Theater, El Paso Live :D !

I mean, let's be honest, El Paso is a loooooong dusty road away from Broadway. But ya know, we do the best we can out here. So keep that opening statement in mind; El Paso Texas is not Broadway. So for those of us that have caught shoes out there, just don't expect that type of experience. With that being said, the Plaza Theatre in El Paso, next to San Jacinto Plaza and surrounded by a lot of downtown restaurants, is really quite nice. It's a very old (but well maintained) theatre. Walking in and just looking around is always kinda fun. You can tell you're in a piece / place of history. The actual theatre / seating area is pretty nice too. It's well decorated and taken care of. The acoustics are fine. Views are fine from almost anywhere in the place. The events that come into town vary, as they do anywhere. But we do get some very nice off Broadway musicals that come through. That's why we go - for the musicals. We've seen really great productions of Hairspray, Waitress etc... and have tickets for upcoming ones likes the classic CATS, and even newer more modern ones like Hamilton! Concerts and traditional musical acts (bands) also come here too. There's always something going on at the Plaza Theatre. It's worth dressing up and going out to. Just keep in mind, not everyone here in the old Sun City knows the kind of etiquette one might expect while watching a show ... it is what it is though. Honestly, I'm not even sure it's El Paso anymore and not just THE World, period. But please expect people to have everything from cell phones ringing, babies crying, getting up and scootching last everyone single person in the row to loudly go use the restroom before intermission even... and of course the loud chatting. But again, I've noticed more and more from coast to coast, it's not just El Paso and the theatre, this kinda of (lack of) etiquette / manners / behavior out in public (depending on situation and location), seems to be everywhere with everyone. The Plaza Theatre (sadly) included. Good news is, the theatre itself is great! Not Plazas fault who walks in the doors!

The history awaits you the minute you walk into the El Paso Plaza! It is such a stunningly beautiful building. It has been years since it's restoration, but the maintenance to this historic building is highly maintained. It truly is an architectural gem. We are here to see Shen Yun, and are anxiously awaiting the highly-rated amazing performance. Time to turn off our phones. I'll let you know how the performance was once it is over.

I love and enjoy each time I go to the plaza theater I'm loving the broadway shows they have been showing offI did sit in Orch the first time I went and being so short it was not the best experience because a tall man was sitting in front of me. I did start getting Mezz seats which is the best choice I've ever made and is now my forever seating area.

I take my Girlfriend and Aunt to the Nutcracker ballet every year (when it's open), and it never disappoints. Have attended non-ballet events and it is also a good venue.

I love this beautiful historic theater. I claim that it is haunted and there's sprits in there. I went to the restroom and it smelled like somebody was smoking. I went to the shen yun it was my second time going to the theater.

This theater is absolutely beautiful. Every seat is good. I came for a girls night out and after dinner at Cafe Central we watched the show "In the Mood". It was a great '40s Big Band era show with singing and dancing- wow these folks were very talented! My friends and I came dressed in era hairdos and makeup and had a blast. I have seen other shows here including Pat Benetar (I am a big classic rock fan). The location is convenient to restaurants and parking- as it should be for the true urban theater experience.People tell me all the time that there is nothing to do in El Paso. I say: turn off the TV, leave the house, and spend a few dollars to see a show!

I've attended seven events at the Plaza Theatre. I had the pleasure of seeing comedian Ralph Barbosa last night and the experience was amazing. The theatre had stellar staff who showed the upmost professionalism while attending to guests and keeping things orderly during the show. If you're lucky enough to go to the Plaza for a show of any kind I'd recommend sitting in the mezzanine level. This provided my party and I the perfect view of the stage and the beautiful decorations the theatre has. The ambience is unmatched. Someone in my party described it as "giving Cheesecake Factory" in the best way. Take that as you will. With a beautiful painted blue night sky with stars shining down on the talent, a night at the Plaza is truly one of best experiences one can have while in El Paso.

We attended the El Paso film festival, which had screenings in the Philanthropy theater in the Plaza, BEAUTIFUL Space, and the in-house theater staff were always welcoming. If you have never been definitely book tickets for a show, it's a very special place.
