Rialto Theatre

Friendly staff. bathrooms have been nicely reconditioned, although still quite small. seats and leg room tight. This theater definitely shows its age, but that’s kind of what makes it a neat place to go. Reminds me of a theater 60 years ago.

Given the historic nature of this theater, I really wanted to have and report a favorable experience. But, it is simply not to be. First off, the staff we encountered on our last two visits were both friendly and helpful. Hats off to them. However, the seating for the two shows we attended recently is awful. Folding chairs crammed together as close as possible, with no legroom. And I am not a tall person. Many people have commented on the uncomfortable seating. Also, the floor slopes downward, and it makes for yet even more uncomfortable seating. For the prices charged, I think it is grossly unfair to have to be touching your neighbors on both sides, with no room to stretch your legs or even place them comfortably in front of you. While it provides more seats to sell and enhances revenue, at least for the time being, it results in a very uncomfortable experience for the patrons. I have attended numerous restored historic theaters in other cities, and they have not stooped to this type of seating arrangement. Come on, owners, you can do better than this.

An interior remodel would do business great!! Seating could be better...my buns hurt after a 90 min show. Please be sure to wear deodorant my neighbor didn't.. ((gagg))close quarters. overall the staff was fantastic. Clean restrooms. Nice Bar selection for drinkers and non drinkers The flashlights used for latecomers could use some red/blue light cover ..we were blinded a few times

Got tickets for a comedy show last week, we arrived early, the start time said 7:30pm but the line to enter the theater was at least two blocks long and the show didn't start until at least 8pm. This may be standard, it was my first show like this. Seating at this theater was VERY tight. You will certainly be touching the people next to you and they were metal folding chairs so not terrible but not great. I did enjoy the entertainment however, next time I book a show I'll be looking for more comfortable seating options.

First time here to see The Altons and Thee Sinseers, I loved the venue and history behind it. The staff was great, line was quick and everything was seamless. I honestly love how it smelled, you can smell the history. Beautiful venue.
