    Came here to watch Hamilton on opening night. I also got the VIP passes to avoid long lines and it…read morealso allowed us to arrive and hour and a half early to stay at the lounge for drinks and snacks. I don't know much about this theater but it's really old and I hear it has so much history. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

    Went to see the 50th Anniversary Air Supply Concert on 7/19/26 with some friends. They really are…read morefans who know more songs & lyrics than I do, LOL! We had a quick bag check at the entrance and onto the ticket attendants who were friendly. We sat in Balcony aisle seats in Row KK. I've sat in this area before. My aisle seat was a little obstructed for the stage view by the railing that had a solid design so I had to lean forward most of the time. The other seats next to me on the railing have a design but you can see thru. No one is sitting in front of you but a lot of people will be walking or standing as it's a thoroughfare. Sound system was great & not too loud even in the back but it's probably because this band mainly played ballads. Beautiful venue with colorful up lighting on the ceiling. The theater still has a nostalgic feel to it & very pretty. Bathrooms were clean and I'd say the only thing I think they need an upgrade on are the seats as they're cushiony and sagging a little. Leather upgrades would be better at some point. Cocktails & drinks are pretty pricey. I think a cocktail was about $21/$23. People were singing along and it was a good & enthusiastic crowd. Concert was 1.5 hours long & the main singer had to take a voice-break for about 10 minutes. A violin performer was outside of the venue playing Air Supply hits and people were singing along which was fun. To note, attendants said you could videotape & take photos but without a flash or they'll flag you. Also, the attendants aren't allowed to take your photos so you'll have to ask another attendee. Parking in the Houston Street Parking Garage is a half block down, just a $10 flat rate for the evening and very conveniently located to The Majestic.

    Amazing venue and great sound quality!…read more The Tobin offers an upscale experience with friendly staff, a range of price points, and nice sound quality. Prepaid garage or valet parking options are available as well as a convenient parking lot a short walk away. The show was loud, especially for an acoustic performance, but the sound quality was great. Overall, there is a variety of price points, so you can splurge on club seating with table service, or choose the balcony to save the piggy bank. We sat in the mezzanine section however next time I would prefer to sit closer to the stage. While some of the ticket prices were on the high side, you can sign up for the newsletter to receive discounts on upcoming shows. The price of drinks was outrageous but sadly typical for a concert. I did not order food or beverages but be sure you view the menu / price list ahead of your visit. There was no meet & greet or photo opportunity offered for this event but I hope that is an option at future events. Definitely consider the Tobin when your favorite band is in town!

    Second year seeing the Nutcracker ballet at the Tobin Center…read more Gorgeous building and good experience with the show, acoustics, guest services, bar, and staff members. We didn't park at their parking, which was $15 in advance, $20 day of at their garage, $28 or so for valet. We went to a day showing of the ballet so we actually found street parking close by. Would recommend a visit at this beautiful venue!

They truly made the experience memorable, and I would highly recommend seeing them. Unfortunately, the venue was experiencing air conditioning issues during a Texas summer. Handing out small paper fans wasn't enough to keep the audience comfortable in the heat. Because I was trying to stay hydrated, I ended up missing a large portion of the concert with multiple restroom breaks. It's disappointing that attendees weren't notified of the air conditioning issue beforehand or given the opportunity to reschedule. Knowing the conditions in advance would have allowed guests to make an informed decision. I would absolutely recommend the Candlelight Concert series because the musicians are exceptional. However, I would encourage attending at a different venue where the audience can comfortably enjoy the performance from beginning to end.

    Came her a few weeks ago to see Saw The Musical. The play was alot of fun and they had great drinks…read moreto enjoy before and during the show. The only issue that I had and it might be more of a pet peeve is that they did not check tickets. The woman at the front was very friendly and said we looked trustworthy or something along those lines. The reason why this is a pet peeve is that I have run into issues with this before. It was not at this theatre but another. Someone else was already in the seats that I paid for. I decided not to make a big deal of it and sat somewhere else. At the end of the show, I could hear someone taking about how good the show was and how they couldn't believe it was free. This did not happen at this theatre but it could if they continue with not checking tickets. I recommend this place for good plays and good drinks.
