      WOWWW!!

      I didn't know watching a show out of Broadway New York. This venue was fantastic.

      Very welcoming staff.

      Asian themed theatre wind hand crafted woodwork and decoration.

      Watched White Christmas here and i wish i could watch it over and over again.

      They serve drinks and snacks as well. But the theatre was jam packed didn't get any chance to purchase something.

      Absolutely BEAUTIFUL theater on the inside. The seating is good in terms of options and views of the stage. The seats are comfortable.

      We bought tickets for a musical the day before and were able to get pretty good seats.

      The bathrooms are gender neutral! You can choose between a stall or a urinal.

      Kind staff. They offer hearing aid devices so you can hear the production if you have hearing loss.

      A stunning historical theater with very high quality productions! We went for White Christmas and had an amazing time. The building is very beautiful and well maintained. The staff (shout out to Dyson!) is very helpful and knowledgeable. They do have beer, wine and spirits as well as a pretty large concessions selection on both the main and upper level (buy the $4 cup to take it into the theater).
      It's Seattle, so many people don't dress up and opt for their Patagonia jackets, however we dressed up and got some beautiful pictures in a gorgeous location! Highly recommend.

      Very disappointed with 5th Avenue Theater and the unisex bathroom. I was just in what used to be the men's bathroom on the main floor using a urinal and a woman walked in to use the stall. The urinals did not have any kind of partition between them so your just there for anyone walking by to view. Do not let your young boys go in alone.

      So not what I am use to at all. The venue is small the seats are dated and the stage is small. Warning the parking garage charges 30 for the event and the bathrooms for women well you can climb down a flight of stairs where it's all stalls and share with men or on the first floor wait for a single stall in a restroom with six urinals. Take your pick it's open restrooms. I didn't walk up stairs to see that mess. My first time here and won't be coming back. I recommend elsewhere for a better experience.

      Hey, it's been forever. I can't even remember the last time I was in the house. I think it was dinner at Tulio's and then music at the 5th.

      It seemed the same, with all its old school style and a huge mix of the patrons. Honestly, it has good people watching.

      Still a fun night and glad it survived.

      "We are the Griswolds." I was gifted season tickets for last season and this current season. The staff is so polite masks are currently optional now. Last season was mandatory at all shows and vaccination card were checked that is no longer the rule.
      The seats have plenty of leg room and are super comfortable..

      This is a theatre that we have brought family for years for the occasional holiday or other themed show and it always went as well as anything in that mess downtown.

      This last year I decided to buy my wife a subscription since we had more free time to go to shows now with the kids gone.

      So it started with "Into the woods" and what a horrible production that was with a wooden cow and led lights etc!! My wife sat there amazed at how awful the production value was and we almost left early. We should have because now a days the parking garage exit takes forever (like 30 minutes) and we were pissed to be home so late from such a crappy show. There was bathroom drama as well as having to purchase a sippy cup for your drink!??

      Then they market the hell out of me even after I unsubscribed twice and called to ask them to stop three times!

      Then we ate 20 minutes away for Sweeney Todd and my phone starts lighting up about a last minute cancellation due to illness. Whatever happened to the show must go on? No understudies? Then after requesting a refund they sent me a useless gift certificate. We are just going to give it away and our Les mis tickets. Can't trust this production company for a good night out.

      Don't waste your time too! Many other options out there!

      This month--the month of March 2024--something is definitely afoot at The 5th Avenue Theatre. And that something is Agatha Christie's delightful musical farce, "Something's Afoot." Begin with an isolated mansion, place all the action in a sumptuous Victorian living room, add a ten-foot tall portrait of the mysterious but never present lord of the manor, have ten strangers--some who work at the manor and many who do not--gather in the living room, and then complicate matters with explosions, electrocutions, lethal gasses, poison darts, falling chandeliers, and poisoned brandy. Liven the evening with music and a most deliciously appropriate song--We Owe It All to Agatha Christie--and voila! Once again, we find that "murder most foul" is "murder most fun." My wife and I loved it! Go!
