I especially like that they help us line up and get through the restrooms and back in our seats during the intermission. Everything was spotless and had a beautiful holiday vibe; lots of bars throughout so no wait in line, and even getting in and out of the surface lot only took about 10 minutes. We each had a lovely Moscow mule and the show was fantastic. We were in the "penthouse" as the volunteers call it, and even up there, we had a great view and beautiful sound. Also, the retail shops on the first floor were open, so you could do a little shopping before or after the show; I think we'll go even earlier next time to take it all in. A wonderful experience, and I can't wait to see another show here.

However, many of the attendees were extremely frustrated because although we arrived to the theater 40 minutes before show time, there was an extremely long line outside of the Fox Theatre with people waiting to get through security. People were filing into the theater and taking their seats for the first 20 minutes of the show due to this delay. A woman who I spoke to while waiting in line stated that she had the same issue with them the week prior. So my advice is to arrive to the theater as early as possible so when they open the doors, you are at the front of the security line and don't miss any of the show you paid good money for!

We arrived early for our Nutcracker performance in a Saturday evening and had no problems parking in the lot adjacent to the venue. Parking was $20 which was a good price for the area. Other lots were charging. $20-$30. We felt our car was safe and attended to. We then entered the Hall early and were allowed to walk around with few visitors. What a treat. The architecture is beautiful with so many details to view. There was a jazz lounge which looked like a nice place to hang out and socialize before a performance. The bathrooms were spotless. We then walked around the downtown and took in all the holiday lights. Truly beautiful. The downtown area is vibrant, busy and feels very safe to explore on foot. Our seats, center mezzanine, were perfect. The attendants were helpful. The carpets and chairs were clean. Our seats were comfortable. The auditorium felt intimate and cozy though big enough to accommodate a good number of people. I would have been pleased with any seat in the house. We loved the State Ballet of Ukraine's rendition of the Nutcracker. Perfect night and experience to begin the holidays.

The food was very tasty and we were able to meet and take pictures with three members of The Lion King production. There are elevators throughout the Opera House and plenty of parking nearby. Facility is clean and has such beautiful architecture. Acoustics are wonderful and there are no "bad seats". The show was AMAZING and my seat was fantastic. Back of the main floor on the aisle, which meant seamless entry and exit. There are plenty of restrooms on each floor and they are very clean. In addition, snacks are available for purchase. Merchandise selection was great and they had some pretty nice bundle deals. I purchased a blanket, Hakuna Matata tea mug and received a tote bag for $65. This is a traveling production. I highly recommend seeing it! The stage, costumes, music, and story are heartwarming. A great night out in Downtown Detroit!

Going to see a picture at the Senate makes me feel like I'm one of the cool kids or in on some kind of local secret. The star of the show is the organ. Don't sleep on the pre-show organ recitals. This ain't your momma's church organ. This is an organ designed for silent movies and you can hear the difference. That might sound a bit odd, but trust me on this one. But the building is also super cool. I love the way the lobby abuts the theater. There are no doors dividing the two which is just one of many classic design elements that make you feel like you're spending the evening in a different era. Same for the concession prices! And for that matter, the ticket prices. It's hard to beat $6 to get in and $2 for a drink. Of course, for these prices you aren't getting modern sound or screen quality. And while the all volunteer organization is working on it, it's the sound quality specifically which drags the Senate down a star for me. I found it hard to make out the dialog for a classic movie to which I already knew most of the words. In that case, it was fine. But my companion found themselves confused about the plot as the dialog was compromised. That said, I'm all about going back and watching as many subtitled foreign films as I can. Plus, I might just rearrange my schedule so that I can attend the next silent film played with live organ accompaniment. I fully expect that to be a five star experience. And as the Senate gets more popular, surely the improvements to the screen, projector, and sound will be close behind.

My only complaint is I couldn't find a bathroom - I could be wrong on this though (aka maybe I just didn't see it). I used to work at the JCC (now called the J, I believe) when I was in college, as a swim instructor, so if there was no bathroom nearby then you'd have to walk a bit down another hallway off the lobby to get to the closest bathroom.
