Beautiful grand Dame of a theater. It is clean and well maintained. The ceiling is amazing. Sound…read moresystem is good. I just enjoyed A Christmas Carol there. It was excellent!! Friendly and helpful staff. Cons:Seats are not sloped as much as I'd like to see so if big person is in front of you, you may have an issue. Your purse must be a certain size and will be checked.

This place, I mean PALACE, is a southern treasure, a state treasure and undoubtedly a Shreveport…read moretreasure. I saw Blue Man Group here last night, as a belated birthday present from my wife (We've always wanted to catch them out in Vegas at the Venetian, but usually get distracted by something else or other once we're out there, which is easy to do!). The show was amazing! It was one of the most energetic, intensely creative and funny live performances I have EVER seen! We LOVED it! We are so thrilled to have finally caught their show after all these years! And there's no place we would have rather seen BMG other than The Venetian! The Strand was the perfect host for this show! We LOVE this venue! (This review is an update! See my previous review here on Yelp!) We are VERY excited about this upcoming season at The Strand! BMG plays one more show here tonight at 8pm. Catch it if you can! It's fantastic! Here's some other highlights for this season, check the website for other shows and dates as there are many, many more! This upcoming Friday, August 3rd Little River Band 8pm October 6th Titanic: The Musical 8pm November 17th Sandy Hackett's Rat Pack Show 8pm (Another Vegas Show!) December 14th Miracle on 34th Street 8pm May 1st , 2013 Rock of Ages 8pm June 18th, 2013 The Addams Family 8pm Seeing a show at The Strand is a Shreveport rite of passage!!!!

This is one of the original performance halls of Shreveport, and like Christie Brinkley and Cindy…read moreCrawford, age has been quite kind to this Grand Dame of the Red Riverfront. And as lovely as she is as a two story venue, I hold just as equal appreciation and admiration for the history that she displays both within and without. In front of this building right off Clyde Fant Parkway in downtown Shreveport, is the large statue of this city's, once a town's, namesake, Captain Henry Miller Shreve (Yelp Check In-Captain Henry Miller Shreve Statue! He adores selfie-seekers, just fyi, so selfie on, out front of here with the Captain!) Also quite appropriate is the placement of the Captain Shreve statue here, as you can see the Red River from here, where Shreve and his steam vessel the Heliopolis helped clear the aforementioned nearby waterway of the miles-long dastardly debris known infamously as The Great Raft! The interior of this theater pays further homage with large marble postings dedicated to both Shreve, and on the flip side, the Heliopolis. The gorgeous venue itself, has excellent acoustics, and great seating all around. The Shreveport Symphony and Ballet give unforgettable performances here often, and there are also world wide stars and touring shows that house here on occasion. The gorgeous structure itself seems to add that much more glory to an already glorious evening or matinee afternoon.
