Rialto Square Theatre

The Rialto is a very beautiful theater. The acoustics are wonderful as we saw Tony Bennett and he actually sang one song acoustically without his microphone and we heard him in the balcony. Getting to the Rialto is easy and there is a parking garage a half block away. Getting into the theater and then into our section and seats was very time consuming. The line outside was long to get into the building as the staff stood just inside the doors to scan tickets. I think the older volunteers were just s-​l-​o-​w. It took about 20 minutes to get to our seats. We were not given a program for the show either. I understand they are volunteers, but they need to be trained better in moving people through the theater quicker and making sure they are given a program. They were still sitting people when the show began. The seats themselves were very cramped with little room between rows. The women’s restroom on the second was clean, but the size (4 stalls) was ridiculous for the amount of seating in the balcony area. That is a huge problem when there is a long line and you have to go! The theater, again, is so beautiful and I think it’s a great place to see a musical or show. Just know that you should give yourself plenty of time before the start of whatever event you see to move through the theater to your seat and gauge your bathroom needs as it might be difficult to use the facilities with the number of patrons. I would attempt to go to another show and be particular where I sat (i.e., aisle to get out quickly to the bathroom and to one side of the stage where the bathroom is located). This theater is really a jewel with its beauty.

Saw Lisa Lampanelli there ⁵⁄₄ and I was blown away with the absolute beauty of this place. What a charming place to see a show. The town doesn’t disappoint either just make sure you make restaurant reservations 1^st before making the hour drive from the city

I had an awful experience. I purchased tickets and they weren’t what was advertised at all. I had a hard time hearing and seeing in the balcony. Then the customer service that I got was rude and gave me the runaround. Then they blamed me for the screw up and wouldn’t give me a refund. Its a beautiful theatre but it will be a long time before I try to go back there, ever!

This place is pretty, didn’t think such a place existed in the burbs! Went to see Adam Carolla at this place and loved it. There is no parking unfortunately, only street parking :(. But Can’t wait to come back again to see Buddy Guy & Johnny Lang in March. :)
