Adler Theatre

I waited too long to get my tickets so I thought I was screwed when the best tickets I could get were way in the back in the upper balcony, but I could see everything.  The seats were tiny though and my knees were mashed up against the seat in front of me.  I'm a short person, so that's notable.  It's got pretty retro decor, but charming.  Overall I liked it.  I just don't understand why ticketmaster would sell me seats way in the back when there were at least a dozen empty rows in front of me.

I have to wonder if I was sitting in the wrong spot when I see people say this place has "great" acoustics.  Perhaps so... if so, I recommend you stay out of the balcony.  We went to see Rodney Carrington this evening... I had to work really hard to hear the words he was saying, and I had equal trouble when he sang his songs.  Overall, I could hear, but I did miss words here and there.

It's a nice looking theater.  However, I am not a tall person, and my legs were really cramped in the seats.  I can only imagine how tall person would feel.  The second we sat, I wondered how long my knees would bear it.

However, I have to give this place a higher review than my knees would have given it, because it is a nice theater overall... very well kept and clean and maintained.

Gorgeous theater that appears to not be updated at all! I loved seeing those "signs of time" in the decor and style of the theater. The acoustics were great; we were there for an author's reading and could hear everything perfectly.
Parking was easy, there was a ramp right across the street and had $5 event parking. There are also a number of restaurants within a few blocks of the Adler so dinner before was an easy walk back to the theater.
My only complaint regarding the theater was I wish the staff would take a stronger hold on the assholes with phones out during the performance. It was very distracting.
