I had my first visit to the Majestic Theatre last weekend for hte Moonchild concert. This is a very nice and historic theater. The seats were surpirisingly more comfortable than I expected, although the legroom was a little tight for my long legs. For reference, I'm 5'9 1/2". The acoustics were excellent! I liked that there were drinks and food options available, and that drinks could be brought into the theater. That's rare. My only complaint, which may not be the fault of the Majestic, was that the lead singer's voice was drowned out by the instruments. To be fair, Amber's (the lead singer) voice is very sweet and soft. The instruments of the band sounded great and were very crisp and clear, which was a testament to the sound system and acoustics in the room, but they overpowered the lead singer. The lighting on the stage was also very good. In the basement of the theater, there are vintage artifacts from the theater, and details about the history of the items and the theater. This is very nice and a great way to preserve and teach the history of the Majestic for generations to come. For parking, there's a nearby outdoor parking lot down the street but the cost is $30 to park. I would definitely return to the Majestic for a concert! read more

Beautiful, classic theater! Great location in downtown Dallas with a lot of local restaurant options for your pre-show meal. We chose Partenope, 1 block away. The combo (meal & show) were fantastic. Sound is better on lower level vs. balcony. read more

Although I've only posted photos for two events, I've been here quite a few times. The Majestic Theatre is always a treat for intimate events. Most recently I attended the Samara Joy (Grammy award winning jazz singer) concert. The acoustics were superb and her voice reverberated throughout the theatre. I was on an end row, towards the back, but I don't see how any seat could be the wrong one. My first introduction to MJ was the LeVar Burton live podcast taping (LeVar Burton Reads! - Reading Rainbow for adults) in 2018. I was so close to the stage, I could almost reach out to touch him ( I didn't!). Again, acoustics on point. The seats are comfortable, the venue is clean, and I love the vintage feel. The only challenge was the bathrooms. They are down two sets of stairs. This area can easily get jammed up by the coming and going of visitors at the same time. I do suggest visiting the area, even if not for the bathroom, to view some of the historical artifacts. Enjoy! read more

Majestic Theatre - Samara Joy (5/28/25) - Performing Arts Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Well cared for historic theatre in Dallas. Take the DART to St Paul station and avoid the parking situation. Just a stunning venue lovingly maintained. They offer cocktails and snacks. Staff are super friendly. Sound quality is good not perfect. For consideration for those with physical needs: the seating is very tight. Patrons with for example size requirements or restless legs or knee issues should consider their needs and length of event. Lots of restaurants nearby- come early for dinner! read more

Want to see a comedy show/movie showing. It was a great and fun night. Got balcony tickets towards the top, but the view was fantastic as well as the audio. The presenters/actors also made sure to include all parts of the audience, not just the ground floor. Checking in and going past security was a breeze. The theater is also located near the dart station, and it's easy to request uber and lyfts nearby. The concession stand was a little pricey, but drinks were good. The inside of the entrance hallway was beautiful. The inside of the auditorium was also very beautiful much like other majestic theaters, a different locations. But definitely come back to see an event or performance here! read more

Went here for a comedy show and had great seats! It's what you would expect from an old historic theater. The staff was great, seats were comfy considering the age of the theater, I appreciated that they were plush velvet seats versus those hard folding seats you typically find in theaters. That would have made it difficult to sit on for hours. read more

This is a really cool small theatre. I don't think any seat in it is a bad one. They had several different restrooms so they were not packed. There were also several different bar areas around the lobby which was nice. Were drinks overpriced? MOST DEFINITELY! But, the tickets to get in for our show were not. We waited forever in the merch line. I don't know if they needed more people working to help get through faster, but the line we were in had no prices on any of the merchandise. We should have asked because 2 tshirts, 3 koozies, and 12 small stickers were 170$ I guess I didn't realize how much the price of merch has gone up. It wound up being a pretty expensive trip for cheap seating. We will probably go back. We will just be more prepared next time. We did love the area it was in. read more

Enjoyed The Nutcracker during the Christmas Season! Staff were friendly and the building is nice & clean!

Came here for first time for Jimmy O.Yang show. This building has so much character, with the pillars, gold trims, a big crystal chandelier in the center of the open area, & carvings on the walls. Security to enter the building was fast, but pretty strict. They asked ppl to empty pockets, & used hand scanners, but no pat-down. They did not like my small plastic bottle of water, but it was ok to keep the empty bottle after I poured the water in the trash. Only small bags/purses are allowed. Most other places would allow a small water bottle. The sound was great. It's quite a bigger theater than it looks from outside, but you still get a good view of the stage from the front rows of 3rd floor seats. Staff are helpful in directing people to find seating locations. Jimmy O. Yang show show was superb & looked like it was a sold out show! Hope he comes again. read more

I recently visited the majestic for a comedy show to see Marcelo Hernandez. The venue is very nice and it is in the heart of downtown. Our seats were pretty high up but we still had a great view of the stage. Although for a comedy I think I would have liked to sit lower. Also I felt there was something up with the sound. At times it was hard to hear or understand whoever was up there. Overall great experience and a great old time classic venue to go see a show. read more

Once again the 103 year old grande dame Of intimate Dallas venues comes through. Every chance I get to attend a concert at the Majestic I take it. No matter the type of music I always enjoy. The atmosphere and sound is always great helping the evenings entertainment shine. Tonight was an appearance by Todd Rundgren. While not a big fan over the years,there are a couple of early career hits everyone would know. However,tonight's concert was more about the experimental side of his compositions. Overall,it's more about the place and listening than who. Guaranteed enjoyment if you like music.... Go! read more

Easy access for concerts with paid parking close to theater. Beautiful interior of days gone by experience. They have smaller venue events as the size but glad to see the doors still open. Restrooms are not easy access but the graduated floors in the theater make it easy with no stairs. read more

Been here many times, most recently last night. It's an iconic Dallas staple. Vintage theatre setting that could be appealing. But you can tell it's getting worn. I would love to see some updates. Kind of crazy that there aren't at least any cup holders for your drinks they charge $30' for. read more

Saw a screening of napoleon dynamite here, and it was such a fun time. Entering was a breeze, finding my seat was easy and fast, and getting a drink was fast. The show was spectacular, and my view was perfect from the balcony level! I liked how on the bottom floor, there was A mini display of cinema related items! Would highly recommend this theater!!! In the area, lots of restaurants, bars, and other activities. This theater is also located near the DART station read more

Majestic Theatre - Decent venue - Performing Arts Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This was our first visit to the Majestic. Came for a concert. Like so many of the old vaudeville houses, then movie houses, then shut for a couple decades in the 70s and 80s and restored and reopened again for live events - The Majestic just oozes history and sophistication. I found it a bit less ornate than many of these old theatres, and also a bit more intimate. It is still much better than theatres built new in the last 75 years (the exception being the Bass Hall in Fort Worth, which is outstanding). The sound quality was very good. Seat spacing in the orchestra level where we were as very comfortable with plenty of leg room. I will say however that the pitch of the floor going back from the stage was much steeper than any other I have been in and was actually quite uncomfortable for standing for any prolonged period. Despite that, I so very much wish the Broadway Series that comes to Dallas would switch to this venue instead of the Music Hall at the State Fair which has such terrible parking and is so inconvenient. The Majestic has several high quality hotels and restaurants a convenient and comfortable walking distance, making for one parking per night ease and a great feeling of safety late night after the show. read more

Yes, it's a great venue, parking is easy too. We were there for Sheng Wang, he's super funny and hilarious, we love the experience!

What an elegant old theater! Velour seats, plush, comfortable. Golden guilded trim. Gorgeous ans majestic Corinthian columns. Well balanced sound system. Plenty of close parking and efficient staff getting us in the door and to our seats. Although I've been here at least a dozen times, this was the first time to see Craig Ferguson. I've sat all over and there are no bad seats! read more

Like stepping into the past. The architecture is whimsical. The seating is very comfortable and spaced out, so you can enjoy moving your arms without smacking your neighbor. We sat on the second floor balcony and was clearly able to see the stage. Absolutely loved this venue. read more

Cool venue in downtown Dallas with plenty of history! Came here over the weekend for my nieces ballet recital. It's downtown so you can expect to pay for parking in a lot unless you circle a bit for street parking. Venue itself goes back to the last century and the basement where we waited for the kids after the show had a cool area with historical facts and photos from the Majestic's history. Looks like there was just one bar I saw on the main venue. Seating views were okay, and chairs pretty comfortable, but the balcony aisles felt narrow. Overall, a-ok space. read more

hot tip: pay for parking via spot hero parking app before arrival to get the best rate. i parked in lot 12 on 2203 elm st for $3 via the app weeks before the concert. rates that night were $15-$25 to pay on site. the view from the 2nd floor balcony was great, the acoustics carried very well. the seats were roomy and comfortable, i didn't feel packed like a sardine, there was space to spread out. read more

I was invited to an event at Majestic Theatre that I was super excited about attending. For me driving in downtown Dallas is an intimidating experience so I want to shout out to Elm Street Parking garage being available right across the street and giving me a very short walk to the venue. Majestic is a really nice venue that you should go to at least once. There's 2 sets of staircases in addition to the elevators. The beers and snacks being sold was on par with what you'd buy at a movie theater. I didn't partake because I was holding out for real food so I'm not sure what the pricing was like for concessions. We had balcony seats that were directly facing the stage so we had an excellent view of the stage. The space to navigate to your seat in that area is pretty narrow so keep that in mind if you're rocking stiletto heels. If you haven't attended an event or concert yet at Majestic I definitely recommend it. read more

Came here for the first time to surprise my son and his friend with an early bday Weird Al Yankovich concert. The building is nice and historic. It was packed and we had the seats as far back (still cost crazy amount). The speakers and lighting looked great from where we were seated. My guys had a blast and it was their first official concert they have been to. I am glad they were able to experience it. All those working were very helpful except one lady who was supposed to tell us our seats, she just pointed twards a dark crowded area and we had to use our phones and be super close to folks trying to figure out where with the pre-show going on. read more

Attended a show here last night. I can't say enough good things about our experience. I'll start with the venue itself, it's gorgeous. The architecture is top notch which really spoke to the old building lover in me. In the basement they have a little museum set up where you can learn the history of the theatre. It was so cool. I knew there was a lot of history but getting to know the whole story was fun. Really cool old artifacts from the 100+ years it has existed. The reason for the four stars vs five comes down to one thing... the prices. While the staff was FANTASTIC, $15 for a small single shot cocktail and $12 for beer, cider and seltzer seems a bit much, even for a music venue. Also, the temperature was really cold so if you run cold, bring a sweater. Will definitely come back again sometime. read more

This beautifully, restored 1921 theater is listed on the US National Register of Historic Places. It is the last of its kind from an area that used to be filled with theaters in the entertainment district. When you enter the foyer and the grand theater hall and see the ornate embellishments on the ceilings and walls, you immediately understand why this particular theater has been restored and continues to be a regularly visited Dallas landmark. I've been to several shows here, and I always enjoy the experience. The incline of the audience seats seems steeper than other theaters which ensures that every seat has a great view of the stage without someone's head in the way. The seats have shared armrests, but the seats themselves feel wide enough that you can have your arms within your seat area without having to fight over the armrests. The cushion is ample and springy. The seat tends to rock back when you sit, so you are in a slightly reclined state. Unfortunately there is no headrest, so the reclined state can be uncomfortably annoying after a 2 hour period Every show I have been to has sold drinks and food in the lobby area. Margaritas and other fruity drinks will run you $12 a glass. You can bring these items with you to your seat. The only downside is that you are often left holding an empty cup or tray until the show ends. Different ticket vendors sell for the various artists and shows, so it is best to go to the theater website to find out what the upcoming events are. Definitely put a visit to this theater on your "to do" list if you live in the DFW area. read more

Gorgeous venue. Just know that if you order a cocktail, they are going to ask you if you want to make it a double and when they make it a double it literally doubles the price. We ordered a $15 cocktail and they asked if we wanted to make it a double we said yes and then it was $32. read more

Beautiful atmosphere and good sound. However, the seats were horribly uncomfortable and there's no leg room. The stairs in the balcony were very difficult to manage with my bad knees! Several people were seen tripping and walking up the stairs on all fours. read more

Went to go see a comedian here and I was impressed. Parking was near by and available also entry was very organized. I was in the last row and could see stage very clear. Don't believe there is a bad seat in house. Service by everybody that worked there was very nice and helpful. Concession expensive but that's what you expect. 5/5 theater. Always love majestic either in San Antonio or Dallas! read more

This a one of a kind venue, definitely a Dallas gem. Glamorous and unique, you feel like you should be wearing gloves and a gown instead of jeans and sneakers like I was when we came for a concert. =) Good sound, good view from our seats. From what I could tell, there didn't seem to really be any "bad" seats. Maybe if you had a really tall person sitting in front of you. As we've gotten older, we have shifted from being the person in the standing room only section glued to the front of the stage, to preferring to have seats. So for us, this was perfect. As is the case with most venues, drinks are pricey and the bar lines are long but they move quickly. I definitely want to go back if the opportunity arises. read more

This is a nice venue. The issue is that a cocktail is $15, and a double is $30. That is $30 for two shots of crown and coke. We had a small dinner with a pitcher of margaritas at a nearby place and the total was $3 cheaper than two drinks at the Majestic read more

The Majestic Theater is one of my absolute favourite venues in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It was originally designed and built as a Vaudeville theater and first opened its doors in April of 1921. The Vaudeville era died down within about 10 years and the theater then became a movie theater. It hosted several movie premieres for well-known actors of the day including John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart. However that time was too and as well and the theater went dark for several years until 1983 when it opened again as a Performing Arts Theater. Today it still enjoys this Resurgence of life as a Performing Arts Theater and host several local and National Acts. read more
