    On stage.
    Bailey K.

    So I went to the landmark again last week for another concert. This time I sat in the Loge left side, all the way at the front, And for the most part it was a great view. However when the main act came on (In This Moment), there was a light that was at the back of the stage that was directed straight at me and literally blinded me the entire set of the band I came to see, to the point that I literally had to watch it through my phone because I had to look down. I could not see the main singer, I could not see what was going on, it was so bright that the only time I enjoyed it was watching my videos afterwards. I am super super upset about that. I love that band, I've seen them I think eight times at this point, I went to the show last year at the landmark and sat middle center Loge with no issue. However I paid extra for these seats to be good seats and it was not. It was not. I was actually pulled up on stage for a costume contest that they were holding during this tour, and my boyfriend couldn't even see me. In the recording, the light is so bright that I am obscured. It is very frustrating.

    I really enjoy going to see shows at the Landmark. I started when my wife introduced it to me for the first a few years ago. It's classy, it's classic, and entering into the theater transports you, which is a feeling I love when going to see a show. It's well kept and over the years improvements have been made, most notably the seating has improved and that was a very needed and welcomed change. My primary attendance to the Landmark is Broadway in Syracuse and my wife and I are season ticket holders, and I feel so grateful that in city so close to me we get to see top level talent performing my favorite shows and introducing me to some I've never seen. They have all kinds of shows though year round for a variety of ages. I will say the Theater can certainly feel expensive (so are the drinks and snacks) but I'm so thankful I can see top level talent locally without having to break the bank on actually going to Broadway. They have basic security which I appreciate for safety, staff and ushers are kind and helpful. You're in the city of Syracuse so there is a lot of street parking, there are lots nearby for typically a small price. You may find yourself walking a few blocks if you get there just on time. I recommended getting into the city early, enjoy a meal, check out the local shops and nab that early parking spot. Or I see others getting dropped off by Uber/Taxis all the time to just avoid that hassle altogether. Either way I hope you find a chance to go and as always Enjoy!!

    Gorgeous antique bohemian theater right in the middle of the city. Just looking around the lobby would keep me happy for hours. The ambience definitely makes any show you see here even better. Love the addition of the new bathrooms, cuts way down on wait time. Concessions could have a few more options but that's minor. There are certainly repairs that could stand to be done if you look closely, but preserving something like this takes a lot of time and a lot of money and they're working on it. I highly recommend seeing a show here if you haven't before, it's definitely a whole experience!

    The Landmark Theatre is a fantastic location to see a show or live event. The location of the theatre is wonderful, and the inside of the building is a sight to behold. Preserving the architecture and art of the location is clearly a priority. You can also find parking in plenty of nearby locations. Because of the style of theatre, you want to make sure the seat you're picking works for you. They can be smaller in style, and if you're someone who's shorter then having something on the aisle is the best option. I've never had an issue finding my seat, but theatre staff are also readily available to provide directional assistance to anyone having an issue. Generally speaking, I've always found the staff here to be wonderfully pleasant and welcoming.

    5 stars for the look and a beautiful old theatre. Most 'decent' size cities have a theatre like this, days of old. They are beautiful when kept up and this one is no exception.

    Jon Batiste in stage

    Saw / heard Jon Batiste tonight,a Thursday at at 8pm at this iconic Landmark Theatre in Syracuse NY. A little talk , a little song "Butterfly " and a lot of piano jams playing scales and repetitive notes. A one and a half hour show , with no intermission. News man outside had a video set up for channel 2 and 5 coverage. Jon has a following to a nearly full house in this ornate eclectic high ceiling building with a nostalgic closed circle ticket booth outside and a box office tip here: Will Call is outside in the next building. Staff was friendly including ticket agents. Seating comfortable with good views. Why 3 stars? The piano clearly was out of tune and off pitch. Mr. Batiste stared with a version of "Over the Rainbow " from the Wizard of Oz. (1939) He played it in high notes only, as I winced when his finger hit those clearly out of tune notes. He has been written up as a musical genius and he noted music channeled thru to him. So I was surprised that he didn't immediately stop to adjust the tuning or adjust to cords and play in other keys.But then, I'm not the musician. His fans however didn't seem to mind and he was happy with the audience response.

    Had a fantastic evening at the Landmark. The renovated seats are very comfortable and you can see the stage from all seats and levels which is great. Drinks were fairly priced for show time drinks, and you are not able to bring any outside food or drinks in. Staff are kind and are everywhere to show you to your seats. Great evening!

    I prefer the Seamark Theatre

    I have a landmark right here for you. He says as he pulls down his pants. This is a gorgeous old theater in the city, close to all the grand old buildings, and it's a lovely place to come and watch a show. It's a little small to host any major events, but nevertheless these kinds of places should always be preserved, as they are so full of character and soul, and a testament to the glorious past of ageing cities like Syracuse.

    One of my favorite places to see show be it a concert or a show. I have been to the landmark about a dozen times and have never encountered any negative experiences. From the outside it is an unassuming multistory building. But once you step in through the double doors, you're transported back to a time where attention to detail, art and wood work was valued/appreciated. The inside of the theatre is amazing. It is hard to believe that something so opulent is in such a drab building. Checking is seamless. Yes sometime there can be a wait for drinks/bathrooms before the show and during intermission but what place doesn't have waits? I do think people forget there are bathrooms on all floors. The basement is the largest one. As far as seating, it can get pretty cramped if you're not on the aisle. The theatre was built in the early 1900s and is deemed a historic building with no renovations to the seating area in terms of size of seats. I've never had a problem with sound in the theatre. I do think it can get a little hot if it is to full capacity. Otherwise I think the space is gorgeous with its opulent wooden works, murals, and lights. It's a shame that some of the fixtures were sold off when the theater was in hardship.

    So ornate.

    The ambiance and the great plays cannot override the discomfort of the cramped uncomfortable seating

    Went to see the Hans Zimmer orchestra performance. Got there an hour early, when doors opened. Had…read moreno problem getting on street parking right across the street at that time. Got snacks and beverages with no problem. The staff was helpful and welcoming. One snafu was purses. They have to be small. I used a tiny purse for feminine products and the older gentleman at the door was holding his small paper over it, trying to judge if it was small enough. It was right at the limit, but obviously not huge. He almost sent me back to the car with it. Another woman next to me was turned away with her larger purse. So be mindful to keep it small!

    Went to see the Nutcracker Saturday night. Not knocking the show, it was great! Never a fan of this…read moreplace. Uncomfortable. Always a hassle. Always feel like there is a lack of staff at events. Literally a guy on his phone having a conversation during the show. An employee was near and I asked them to do something and they said "not my job" I'll have to go out to the lobby and find so and so. Crazy, I hate the not my job attitudes and will never give a good review when I experience this. Also, very poorly understaffed at the concessions, it shouldn't take 20 minutes to purchase water during a 15 minute intermission. If you can avoid this place, I recommend strongly considering it. Hopefully the service here can improve, and some upgrades wouldn't hurt either.

    This is such a great venue. It seats fewer people than say the Landmark but the seats are more…read morecomfortable. We saw Joe Turner's Come and Gone which was very well presented. The story line was easy to follow and the actors were spectacular. Parking is available off street or across the street at the Phoebe's lot for a fee. There is a concession stand and bar inside that offers candy, snacks, coffee, and alcoholic drinks (even a special creation for whatever play is showing). There are also memberships offered if you think you'll go to multiple shows. A great experience! I hope to return soon!

As a regular theatre-goer here in Rochester, I was SUPER excited to finally check out Syracuse Stage. They do co-productions with our LORT theatre Geva, and I have heard great things. The venue itself is classy, well maintained, with reasonable prices on everything from snacks to wine to tickets. Every staff member I interacted with was SO friendly. Special shoutout to the AMAZING box office staff! I had a conflict come up for my original show date and they exchanged me into a new date - no questions asked. At many theatre's, you have to pay an exchange fee or exchanges are only allowed for subscribers. That kind of accommodation will keep me coming back the next time they are doing a can't miss show (helllllo Amadeus next season!) Thank you to them for being so helpful and easy to work with! Even though the show I saw was not my cup of tea, I look forward to coming back and deeply appreciate them bringing high level talent to the upstate/central NY area. We are SO lucky to have a rich theatre scene, and Syracuse Stage is worth the special trip up from Rochester if there's something you're keen on seeing!
