Had a wonderful time watching the Richmond Ballet at the Dominion Energy Center! The building…read moreitself is stunning with a public lot right in front and a variety of garages surrounding it, parking was a breeze for our event. Walking in we were greeted by the wonderful attendants and our seats were surprisingly spacious in regards to leg room (we sat center orchestra Row J). Both my partner and I are tall so leg room is definitely a plus. The show was phenomenal and I feel so lucky to get to experience the arts here in Richmond! I would definitely reccomend a show here just for the ambiance alone, the theater inside is stunning with so many things to look at. Definitely arrive the 30 minutes prior to showtime to take in all of the sights.

Nothing is as iconic as the watching the Nutcracker over Christmas at the Dominion Energy Center. I…read moregive the Nutckracker a 5+, the venue - not so much. Why is it that I always feel like I'm taking a flight when I go to see a show. This is absolutely true here as well. I'm at 6'3" and my neighbor was about that wide. To say it was an uncomfortable seat was a crazy understatement. Oh well, taking a cue from a discount airline: pack them in. I wouldn't be cranky if it was just the seat. The Roman empire did better in logistics for shows. Trying to go to the bathroom was a joke and don't even think of getting a drink during intermission. This place is just not laid out for a full show logistics. GO for the Nutcracker. Anything else, might not be worth the squeeze.

We have seen several shows at RTP. The show we saw tonight was of high quality like the rest. We…read moresaw Immediate Family. It focused on big ideas like love and acceptance. There was so much to relate to. The seats are comfortable, the staff is professional, and the rest rooms are clean. Sorry I didn't get to try the bar personally, but one person in our party had a drink and it looked really good. We will definitely return. We are even considering getting season tickets.

An absolute gem of a theater, I absolutely love RTP! They specialize in productions that not only…read morefeature diverse, LGBTQIAA+, gender varied individuals, but also seek out source material that is written by such people as well. It's an incredibly welcoming space--very accessible, with nice, big seats without arms. If you need additional arrangements, the box office is very responsive and happy to assist. The team that works there is very friendly, the bathrooms are clean, the bar is well stocked, and shows are great. Definitely worth a visit--maybe even renting out for a private event!

Such a great venue. So nice inside and the shows are so energized and outstanding. There is a…read morelobby for drinks and snacks which is very nice and they even allow you to take those refreshments into the theater. Although, I will say, ELLE the house manager (very young girl) could use a teaching on possibly being more friendly. The other staff members from what we can tell are very nice and accommodating. Parking is fine and it is so convenient to the interstate. Wish there was a "senior discount" on the tickets though. Being a senior myself, that would be great. All in all, a wonderful neighborhood venue for theater.

I only know Sparc as an audience member and donor but I'm very happy they exist in our community!…read more From the popularity and success of their programs, it seems like the kids and families also find it to be worthwhile. I recently saw their musical production of A Christmas Carol and loved it! It was an inexpensive ticket to their theatre on Hamilton for some great entertainment. It's obvious to me that they work very hard to provide a quality production and these kids have talent! My only other production was a Jason Mraz fund-raising show last year that also included some of the students' accompaniment. Support Sparc!

In the theater world, every city needs large houses and small ones and community ones (including…read moredinner theaters, if applicable.) Large ones to drive the theater zeitgeist with main stage productions that everyone has heard of (either locally produced or traveling extravaganzas) and small ones to provide more intimate settings and maybe take a few risks. Firehouse is a decent small theater so I am not going to review it against the standards set by the large houses. Come to Firehouse for above average acting and for decent production values. Come to Firehouse for exposure to plays you won't see at large houses -- ranging from, say, Rocky Horror to Buried Child. Come to Firehouse for the experience of seeing a show in a raw form that does not depend on major fly-in gimmicks or other high tech special effects. Do not come if the above doesn't suit you, or if not quite comfortable seating is an issue. Or if you need to park close. Firehouse and its ilk fill a valuable niche. It should be supported and patronized.

The set and actors did a fantastic job. It was definitely a higher quality than i expected. I think this may be a place we go to for a show a few times a year. Quite a pleasant suprise.

The November Theatre is absolutely stunning, while a bit on the smaller side compared to other…read moretheatres in the area. The intimate setting makes for a really special viewing experience. Parking is a bit tricky as there is no direct parking available in front of the theatre but there are some paid lots and street parking is available (there is a 2 hour limit to be considerate of if you're seeing a matinee, not applicable after 8). What stands out is the seating is a bit more comfortable with a decent amount of leg room my partner who is 6'1 was able to sit comfortably. The sound quality of this theatre is also amazing, I was able to hear the music and the actors very clearly throughout the show. I checked out Virginia Reps production of Waitress for the first time this past weekend and it was phenomenal! So glad that we are able to have such quality theatre offerings here in the area and this is one place that can not be beat! Before a shows run they offer pay what you can previews which definitely makes the magic of theatre more accessible to the masses. Definitely give Virginia Repertory a shot if you have any interest in the arts, I think this is a great introduction to some amazing shows and everyone is extremely talented!

The views are great in all sections and we tend to select balcony for the price point. Their online ticket sales indicate "limited leg room" for high balcony seats, but I will say all balcony seats are difficult for people over 5'6" or for people with larger hips. I was disappointed that the last show started 15 minutes late, particularly since it was on a weeknight, which is the reason for a 4 instead of 5 star review. However, definitely check out The Wiz if you can see it while traveling.
