    Love coming here for wrestling. The venue is the perfect size. The crowd is always great. I've run into break dancing & beat showcases here as well. Always pleasantly surprised at what I run into here.

    From the outside, Washington Hall doesn't look like much. In fact, you might find yourself circling the block a few times, asking, "Is this really the venue?" And once you walk inside, it's still a little rundown. Because even though Washington Hall has this amazing history (Billie Holiday and Jimi Hendrix played here, among others), it hasn't exactly been kept up the way it should. Thank goodness Historic Seattle took over the building and is in the process of returning it to its former glory. Believe it or not, Washington Hall was built in 1908 for the Danish Brotherhood in America. Since that time, it's been a performing arts center, dance hall, and community gathering place. And I think this really cool history is the reason why the vibe here is just so fantastic. It's warm and intimate and exactly the perfect place to see your favorite band. I saw Ben Gibbard play an acoustic set here and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. So check out their events calendar and see what's happening. You won't regret it!

    We went to a comedy show here. A nice, intimate venue. A good size for the audience. We would come here again.

    We recently visited Paramount Theatre to watch Phantom of the Opera, and the theater itself was…read morehonestly part of the experience. The venue is stunning -- full of majestic arches, ornate architectural details, elegant balconies, and a grand old-theater atmosphere that immediately makes the evening feel special. Even before the performance starts, you already feel like you're having a real night out rather than just attending a show. The massive multi-tiered seating area is very impressive, yet the acoustics still felt excellent and immersive throughout the performance. One thing we especially enjoyed was spending time outside beforehand looking through the illuminated displays and posters for upcoming productions. It really builds anticipation and adds to the magical atmosphere of the evening. Whether you are seeing Phantom of the Opera or another performance, the Paramount feels like one of those classic theaters that turns an event into a memorable experience.

    The touring production of The Phantom of the Opera at Paramount Theatre was absolutely fantastic…read more The cast was incredible, and the production itself deserved a much better audience environment than what the theater allowed. Unfortunately, this was one of the worst theater etiquette experiences I've ever had. During the first act, a man seated behind us repeatedly sang along during the performance. When I politely asked him to stop, the person next to him sarcastically pointed at the stage and said, "The show is over there," while the behavior continued. Around us, multiple people talked throughout songs and scenes, and later in the evening I even saw someone openly filming the show on an iPhone. I eventually had to leave my seats (Main Floor 2, Row G) and speak to management because the disruptions were so bad I couldn't focus on the performance. The only solution offered was seats in the very back of the orchestra. By that point, the experience was already frustrating enough that it took a while to calm down and enjoy the show again. What's most disappointing is that this is the SECOND time I've experienced terrible audience behavior at this theater. I previously saw Back to the Future here and dealt with nonstop talking during that performance too. I attend theater regularly in Southern California at Segerstrom Center for the Arts and also frequently see shows in New York City. Ushers there actively monitor audience behavior and quickly shut down disruptions. At the Paramount, it felt completely unmanaged. For the prices being charged -- around $350 for my tickets through Ticketmaster -- audience members should not have to deal with talking, singing, and filming throughout a Broadway performance. Amazing production. Extremely disappointing theater management and audience control.
