Their seats also recline and are roomy. This is my go to movie theater. I just have to keep my son from wanting to purchase the themed popcorn buckets all the time, lol.

Although we were sitting in row B off to the far side, viewing was good. They have a full bar with speciality cocktails that are associated with a movie. For Wicked, they offered a green Elphaba and a pink Glinda frozen cocktail. There were also actors dressed as the two characters that you could pose for photos with. Overall a great movie theater option.

The Michigan Theater is genuinely one of my favorite places in Ann Arbor. Watching movies here…read morefeels special every single time. Whether it's a new release or seeing classics like Star Wars, LOTR, or The Big Lebowski on the big screen, the experience is incredible. The theater itself is breathtaking too. Around 1600 seats, the balcony, the chandelier, and the nearly 100-year-old organ that rises up before the movie starts while someone plays it live. It honestly feels magical in a way that no modern theater does anymore. Even just seeing the marquee glowing outside at night feels iconic. The whole place has this timeless energy to it that makes going to the movies feel important again. Whenever someone asks me my favorite place in Ann Arbor, this is my answer.

I love the State Theatre. The art deco style is beautiful and gives the place a personality you…read morereally don't see much anymore. The marquee on State Street is one of those sights that makes Ann Arbor. I appreciate the mix of old movies they show. It makes the theater feel alive instead of just another multiplex playing the same few blockbusters. The different theater sizes are nice too and the whole place feels very convenient, comfortable, and community-oriented.

OK, time to show some serious appreciation to our local indie movie theatres! In a time when so…read moremany are closing we're profoundly lucky to have them here in Ann Arbor (alongside the Michigan Theatre) and I admittedly have taken having them here for granted. No more! We've committed to going to see more flicks here. Just tonight we went to see The Phoenician Scheme and had the best time. Pros: * Convenience! It's right downtown and close to so many places where you can grab a quick bite before a movie (we opted for NYPD for pizza tonight). * Really good popcorn! And much less expensive compared to big multiplexes. Today we got a large popcorn and pop combo for a cool $11! It's a bit smaller in size than the bigger guys but the quality is great (very satisfying) and they use real butter, y'all! * Tickets are also not terribly expensive comparatively and, though they only offer a few films at a time, you can see things here they don't screen anywhere else in the area. Especially now that so many theatres have closed (RIP Main Art). State Theatre is a destination! Sure, they don't have the big recliner chairs, and I do admit I miss those, but there's something really special about that old school movie experience. Every time I come here I feel like a teenager again coming here to see Run Lola Run with my friends. It's a special place and I hope it continues on for more years to come. I'll do my part to make it so!

Ridiculous.

Ann Arbor Civic Theatre (AACT) spreads out their 6-play season so that, as season ticket subscribers, we find that a play pops up about every 8 weeks. Because Ann Arbor is a rather large college town, there always seems to be abundant local talent to fill out the casts of the local productions even though AACT is not affiliated with the U of M. AACT does however, utilize two University theatre venues to put on their productions. Today's production is "Oliver!" and panning the audience of the Mendelssohn Theatre, I'm definitely seeing more kids in the audience for this Sunday matinee that normal. Bottom line is Ann Arbor Civic Theatre is one of the many great cultural offerings of this community...a theatrical 4 stars!
