    Last night we went to the Stadium theater for a revival performance and we had a great time. The venue is an older theatre that sits over 1,000 people and we got seats about 10 rows from the stage, so it was great to see the performer's face and facial features as the show went on. They have a nice concessions stand that sells all basics, but the main thing is the popcorn....as soon as you walk into the theater, the inviting smell of butter popcorn just surrounds your whole body...LOL... Nice restrooms as well. The Stadium Theatre Performing Arts Centre & Conservatory is a historic movie theater and concert venue and commercial building at 28 Monument Square in Woonsocket. The complex consists of two connected sections, one housing the theater, the other offices, both with retail spaces on the ground floor. The theater was designed by Perry and Whipple of Providence and built in 1926. Although it lacked the opulence of theaters in larger cities, it was one of the most elaborately decorated performance spaces in Woonsocket. The theatre's name comes from the "stadium" style of seating, which allowed everyone in the audience a good view of the stage. The Stadium opened in 1926 as a vaudeville house. The declining theatre was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. The theatre showed x-rated movies in 1980s and closed in 1985. The building declined and decayed until Mayor Francis Lanctot started a campaign to save the building and raised over $3 million in donations. The renovated venue reopened in 2001. The film There's Something About Mary (filmed in large part in Rhode Island) by the Farrelly Brothers premiered in the Stadium in 1998.

    Went here today to see a comedy show at the event center. The bar in front of the center was large…read moreand had friendly but busy staff. Was disappointed that the seats were literally folding chairs, put down so close together that everyone in the row had to get up if someone needed to use the bathroom. The drinks were expensive but the service was quick. Bathrooms are large and clean. Would go back but hope for more comfortable seating.

    I made a cross-country trip to see my favorite band, Air Supply, play a concert in Rhode Island. A…read morelong day of travel but well worth it because this hotel and casino is AMAZING and the concert venue is gorgeous, all decked out for the Christmas holiday. The woman working the hotel front desk was so sweet, friendly, and funny and even told me she had seen the band members roaming around and I'd have a really good chance of seeing them. She got me set up with my room and off I went. My room was very nice and the bed was so comfy! A little high for this shorty but I made it work too. I ate at the food court during my stay and found good selections to choose from. The only thing that I didn't like was the casino being so smoky yet there's a smoke-free casino upstairs. It should all be smoke-free but that's just my two cents. I loved Rhode Island so much that I hope to go back again and enjoy a longer stay. Everyone there is so friendly and welcoming!
