Paramount Theatre

This theater is opulent and stunning! I felt like I was entering a sacred part of Seattle's history. My friends and I enjoyed seeing The Book of Mormon musical here with a fully booked house on a weekday night. Ushers were helpful and bathrooms were very clean and thankfully near our seating in the upper mezzanine "nose bleed section." Seating is tightly packed and the ushers warned me that they would be closing the doors to our section when I went to the bathroom a few minutes before the start of the show. However, I made it in time for the show, thankfully!Parking was a bit tricky but it was easy to purchase with our tickets. They had us park in a garage a few blocks away and leaving the garage took about 30 minutes. Plan for a hike or to pay a lot to park closer to the theater.

The Paramount Theatre's a great venue!Lots of class (even though I saw a video game Sonic Symphony) and plenty of seating with great views of the stage. Security and help is a bit hurried and lacks bedside manner, but we had a great time.

Came here to see Trevor Noah, he was great. The opener Will Sylvince was great also. The whole show was Wonderful! The venue however, was sooo outdated. #1 no elevator, anyone with walking issues should not come here, you will be climbing Hundreds of stairs, definitely a safety issue for patrons. #2..The whole theater smells old like dusty dirty moldy carpets, creepy dark lightings, took forever to climb to our seats and down. Very confusing seating arrangements, and there is no ushers to help you find your section or seats. Not the best operations and organization. And no elevator?! Or escalator? I seen a lot of older folks struggle trying to get to their seats or looking like they were going to pass out after they walk one flight of the very steep stairs. It was not a good experience here due to the way the theater is set up.

What a gorgeous venue! Saw the Tina Turner Musical show and was blown away by the production and presentation within this venue. We picked up our tickets at the Showbox which was simple and they also scan at the door if you have tickets on your mobile. We went through security which was simple and they have bars where you can buy drinks and snacks throughout the theater. They also sold merch in one section. I look forward to coming here to see many more shows. Always a great selection and variety that come through this theater.

This classic theatre has amazing programming - I couldn't even name the number of incredible shows we've seen here.I've sat in almost every section of the theatre and would definitely recommend the floor or the first balcony if you can afford it - the best views are from these areas. However there isn't really a bad seat.Great place for both theatre and concerts. Sound is usually good although it can vary depending on the artist and their crew. Seats are a bit narrower than modern seats so it can get a bit uncomfortable. All that said it's still a lovely experience.

A beautiful and cozy theater in downtown Seattle that brings energy and spirit to each show and act that dons its stage. While I have frequented this theater throughout the past 15 years, this was the first time I brought our family to a show: MJ The Musical. The touring production was awesome and inspiring. The stage perfectly ready to take the set changes and dynamic lighting, etc. The theater itself has "no bad seats", as we sat towards the back, but still felt we had stellar views. (Even from the balcony - in previous experience.)The only qualm is the lack of space before the show, during intermission and after the show. There is literally no room to move in the lobby area, as viewed from the second, third and fourth floor balconies, a sea of heads is all that can be seen, nearly at a standstill, moving centimeters at a time on the way in/out.

This event was awesome!! The the venue seats are closer together, smaller seats, and a more intimate setting. There is no place place in the venue that does not have a good view. The bathrooms are outdated, but we're clean. I will go there to see concerts again, and will request the same seat I had Damon and Stefan Marley where absolutely wonderful

Amazing venue with lots of beautiful ornate fixture. Amazing show!! Love the drinks in reusable cups with lids.

Came here to watch "The Thorn" and it's a lovely space. Usually I hate going to the theater downtown because I'm used to the Pantages or the Ahmanson in Los Angeles where you pay a ton to park and you still might get towed and you have to trek a long way and make your way past a homeless encampments on the curb to get to the doors. But the parking here is about $10 at the two nearby lots and they are literally a short walk away. Inside the theater it's pretty. This is one of those theaters with a lot of intricate, ornate, detail work from a time long since past and I love that it's vibrant and doing well. They have both a cafe and a bar area, and another space where you can buy water and snacks, along with space to sell merch in the lobby.The volunteers need a little training on how to help people to their seats. I was speaking to an older gentleman and he was showing me the map of where our seats were but he was lost. I literally took the map from him, turned it upside down so that it matched the orientation of the seats, and taught him how to read his map. Lol, God bless him, but it worked out.Plus there are lots of restaurants, plenty of Pokestops if you play Pokemon Go like me, but everything is walkable.

The Paramount Theatre present Ronny Chieng. The stand up comedy was very funny. I laught so much my tummy hurt.
