We recently attended a performance by Allison Krauss and Union Station. We sat on the Mezzanine level in extremely uncomfortable seating. If you are over 5'6" tall or weigh more than 150lbs you won't be comfortable in these seats. I had a seat on the aisle and I had to sit with my legs in the aisle. My wife had... More

The Wellmont Theatre is close to my home, so I have seen a few shows there. This theatre offers excellent views of the stage from any seat or standing location. The sound quality is super! I often choose to see shows at this location over NYC or other local theaters, as the view and sound are far superior. The theatre... More

The Wellmont is fortunate to get many of the top acts passing though the NYC area. As it is in Montclair, NJ it is a little easier to park and if you live in Jersey, faster to get home. I have seen over a dozen acts here, and although the muscianship has been superb, the sound system leaves alot to... More

This place gets some really great acts, and it's not too big to actually enjoy them. If you get the right seats, it can actually feel like an intimate evening, and there are plenty of good seats. Get there early, have a great dinner in the town of Montclair, which has many great restaurants, and secure your parking early.

The day before the performance, we realized that we had balchony seats and there was no way my wife was going to navigate the stairs. I... More

When I first visited the Wellmont, it was a theater modified to house several movie theaters. Not a great experience, then. NOW, has been renovated back to it's original purpose - Live Performances. I like that it is flexible and can accommodate different types of performances. The sound was very good. The options have been great, including popular performers (Bill... More
