Saenger Theatre

This is a very nice theater. The atmosphere is reminiscent of an old timey theater. It's spacious. They have lots of bars so you don't have to wait too long for a drink. My only complaint is that all the snacks are packaged. I'd like to see some fresh popcorn or nachos.

Such a beautiful venue!!!!!!!!!!! Highly recommend coming here for a concert if you can. I was general admission in the balcony and could see perfectly! Perfect view. There are seats and each row is higher than the next so nobody will be blocking your view! The ceiling has stars it's so pretty!

Great venue, beautiful restoration. Nice acoustics as well. Came here for two shows with Bob Weir and the New Orleans Philharmonic, epic shows in an epic venue.

It's a beautiful theater, but the lobby has accessibility problems. Once you arrive and get past security (no backpacks allowed), you enter a lovely lobby. However, the lobby is really narrow, and people waiting to get in the doors block where the halkways cross, and it's difficult to access the restrooms. There is nowhere to sit in the outer or inner lobby, other than a handful of chairs meants for employees. I'd recommend not arriving early unless you're okay with a lot of standing.Then, while waiting for the second set of doors to open, the fire alarm went off, and everyone had to evacuate. Once they resolved the issue, they put everyone in one giant line that wrapped around the block. Eventually, they allowed people who had already had their tickets scanned in via the side doors.Once we got in, the seats were good-sized and comfortable.The staff was friendly and helpful.

Went for Tesky Brothers. Sat to far right my uncle is quadriplegic and in a chair. For a sitting concert venue, people were standing most of the show causing us to not enjoy much of the show. I asked ushers to do something about, they said it is a possible standing venue. Know going in for any concert people will ruin it by standing in a seated venue. Isles are narrow hence we took end for handicapped and access. They allow standing in a seated venue be my last visit - beautiful place though

Our family and friends love this theater!! We've seen concerts, Comedies, musicals, holiday shows, Cirque, etc. I don't think we've seen a production that we didn't like.This theater is beautiful!! It's comfortable and accommodating for any needs. They have good security before, during and after shows. Staff is nice but take their jobs seriously. My favorite things are the drinks available, playbills, Broadway shows and when they take your order at your seats!Tips: Have tickets ready or grab from box office (to left of front entrance). Be prepared to empty pockets, open purse and walk through detector.Get there early so that you have time to park, find your seats and get a drink.Buy souvenirs before show to avoid long line after. Dress as nice or casual as you want. We like to dress up a bit for musicals or holiday fun. All in all, if you've been thinking of going to this venue.....pick a show and go have fun!! It's definitely worth the experience.

The Saenger Theatre has been on FIYAH this Fall offering entertainment for all age groups! In the past few months I've visited three different times with my dad (Earth, Wind, and Fire), my cousin and aunte (The Lion King) and my five-year-old nieces (Disney Jr). This nearly 100 year old theater is a beautiful part of New Orleans history. From the Roman grandiose architecture, marble floors, and the star lined ceiling. You definitely step back in time walking into its doors. The venue is intimate yet perfect for all ages. The staff members are warm, welcoming, and friendly. A few tips:1. Uber-- the parking is pricey, a hassle, and cost varies with each event. 2. Arrive 15-20mins before showtime! The shows start on time. Depending on the act the auditorium doors may be locked until after the first song or scene, etc.. 3. Order your drinks and snacks at your seat. I normally grab one drink first, then head directly to my seat, scan the QR code place my order, drink/snacks I'll be delivered to you before or during intermission. 4. Speaking of intermission, it only last 15 minutes and everyone in the theater simultaneously will have to go to the restroom (lol), beat the line by going to the lavatory a few minutes before intermission. Trust me there are three or four restrooms, and they all have massive lines. 5. This tip maybe more if a personal preference, but I always get the aisle seats, because the rows are 20 or so seats deep...if you have an emergency or need to get up, the aisle is more convenient. 6. There are only small snacks; think candy bars, gummy bears, raisins, and ham sandwiches. Plan to dine before or after the show...but there are 4 full bars.

Beautiful theatre both in the lobby and in the seating area. Chairs that are comfortable and staff that were helpful in getting you to your seat.

Fantastic venue for live music. I saw Samatha Fish and Jj Gray here during Jazz Fest and it was amazing. Great sound. Lots of places to get drinks / short lines. Amazing architecture!

I'm just in awwwww, this theatre is beautiful and it's small and cozy. We had great seats, which I don't think there's a bad seat in the building. The ushers were kind and helpful. The bartenders served us our drinks with a smile and very patient. We had a good night. Patti LaBelle gave us a show, she was amazing.At the end, they waste no time pushing you out them doors, First warning closing the doors on Canal St. Then we finally had to wait outside for our Lyft cause they were now closing the doors on Rampart side. One good thing about bring pushed outside to wait for your ride is you're not alone and the security guards stayed around. Thanks.
