Saw Bob Wier and Phil Lesh last night with Furthur - this theater is a restored iconic historical venue - totally amazing.

Love this old theatre. Saw the Allman Brothers here a few times which was just fantastic. Seats about 2,000 & all seats are great. Staff is very nice too.

What a beautiful theater this is. I'd say it's much prettier than most of the Broadway theaters. Had great seats, though you can't have a bad seat as it is a small theater.

I had the pleasure of seeing INXS perform at the Beacon Theatre in August of 2011. We had fifth row seats which made us feel like we were on stage. It is a great venue to see a "name" act at. I don't think there is a bad seat in the house.
