    What a beautiful venue! We just went to see Walker Hayes in concert tonight and had a great time. The theater was very clean and well maintained. My only complaint was that my boyfriend bought 2 little bags of peanut M & M's and they were $8. I get that we are at a show and the markup at a venue like that but $4 for a little bag seems like way too much. Next time, no snacks.

    I went here to see Tito Nieves in his 50th Year Tour. I had excellent orchestra seats. Great view and Great show. He had Brenda K. Star and George Lamond as special guests. Excellent show. Sold out performance. My first time at STNJ and had a wonderful time.

    Checking in the place is a breeze and getting to our seats was easy too. Staff is nice. The show was amazing. The stage is small but that didn't impact the show. Purchased tickets online and it was a simple process. I'd definitely come back here again.

    The call I received Today 10/22/25

    Soooo I get a call today while at my office. "Hi this is the back office at State theatre, we think your purchase is FRAUDULENT, as you've stated you live in Brooklyn and we are in New Jersey". "I've even tried googling your address and nothing is coming up". "Can you please confirm your address"?. WTFFFFF I have never experienced in all my years of living. My best friend is a Broadway performer for the show & Juliet in which I get FREE TICKETS to numerous ON BROADWAY shows, and this has never ever happened. So because I live in Brooklyn I shouldn't purchase tickets in New Jersey????? He also stated he found it very weird that it was only 1 ticket . Hmmmmm???? So I can't purchase a single ticket to watch a show alone ????. I am beyond turned off and would never visit this theatre EVER AGAIN. I visited 2 years ago, with my husband to see The nutcracker which was amazing. I don't know what happened since then, but I'm good. Never returning.

    My husband and I are frequent Broadway goers and came here to see Tina Turner since we didn't get a chance to see it when it was running in NYC. Let me just say I was not disappointed. I would totally go back here for another play. First off: the tickets were at the fraction of the price, as were the drinks and concessions which I loved. The seats were super comfortable in comparison to Broadway seating. The entire place, bathroom, lobby, auditorium were all very well kept and clean. Tima Turner play was absolutely fantastic! I would totally see that again. My only complaint is having only one booth for merch. The theater was almost sold out and the line was ridiculous to purchase. I also didn't like that one of the workers was rushing everyone to their seat when purchasing drinks and the show started 15 min after, therefore for the first half we had nothing to drink.

    I saw Clue: A New Comedy at the State Theatre of New Jersey this weekend. The play is part of the 2023-2024 Broadway Series. It was a great show - all talented actors and creative set design. I would recommend supporting live entertainment and seeing a theatrical production here. I was seated in row J and I had a good view of the stage. The seats are much more comfortable than other theaters or music halls that I've visited. I've been here before for a concert, but this was my first time here for a play. I hope to return soon. Tip: Park at the nearby Morris Deck (70 New Street) if you're coming here on the weekend. Street parking may be slim. Rates are fair; I paid $6 for 2 hours.

    Just saw Shen Yun there. ( saw Brit Floyd a few years back Great theater as it is not that big and most seats are great. Comfy chairs. Snacks & a bar provided. Best thing is that it is located in the heart of downtown with many parking and restaurant options within walking distance. Has some great acts perform here. Highly recommended.

    The new coed bathrooms at NJ State theatre. PATHETIC

    I recently went there with 2 of my friends (all women) we had balcony seats. They now have non- gender bathrooms upstairs. When my friends and I went to use the bathroom we were SHOCKED AND APPAULED that there were both men and women in the same bathroom. Needless to say we didn't use it and left. So my advice if this offends you like me get seating downstairs or don't go. I'm choosing as my friends we will never return. Thank hod my 90 year old mother or my 6 year old granddaughter weren't with me

    We love the State Theatre. We came to see Gilberto Santa Rosa sing his hits songs. He drew a big crowd. Not an empty chair in this place. Glad people weren't getting up to often. We were at the last tier of seats with pathway in front of us. I have to make time to come see more shows at this beautiful theatre.

    Staff is super helpful! From security to ticketing, ushers, and concessions. Shows start promptly and everything is well organized so coming in and out is easy to navigate. The theatre was clean and well kept. Parking gets tricky so come early and prepared.

His and other non Hispanic students paid the same amount of money to attend classes and get taught in Spanish?. I personally witnessed my man and some of his classmates come out empty handed when other students came out with food to take home for them selves and their families. Other negative verbal comments have been said in the past couple months by the instructor to a student. This past week there was an issue that the students were being told to clip their nails with the same nail clippers without sterlization between each use. That's extremely dangerous and against health codes. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to catch a disease from anyone. So if thats not enough to make you not want to come here i dont know what is..

Unfortunately, every application we submitted went completely unanswered. We even spoke with a volunteer during one visit who told us that this lack of follow-through happens often, and that many of the cats have been there for years despite people applying. It's heartbreaking to see animals waiting so long for homes while potential adopters are ignored. We ultimately adopted elsewhere last summer after never receiving a response. When we stopped in again recently, the same cat we had applied for multiple times was still there, now fully grown after nearly three years in the shelter. I truly hope this organization improves its communication and adoption process, because these cats deserve better than being left waiting indefinitely in a dark attic. Read the other reviews, you'll see that there are many people experiencing the same thing here.
