Paramount Theatre

I've visited the Paramount a few times in the past for convention panels, but this was my first time attending an actual show and it was a pleasant experience. Event staff were helpful and able to guide as necessary. The theatre may seem ordinary from outside, but once indoors it's an incredible venue to see! The architecture and and ambiance is beautiful and gives a very pleasing, classic vintage vibe. I particularly love the lighting fixtures and chandeliers. The lobby can get a little warm once there are several occupants inside waiting for doors to open, but the main theatre itself was a comfortable temperature. The seats were comfortably padded as well. There are concessions stands on the first and second floors and there is a bar inside as well, but I didn't go inside. Bear in mind that the queue to events here can stretch down the length of Pine St. toward the I-5 overpass so if you're arriving early you may be in the elements while waiting in line. Best to plan accordingly to stay dry, cool, or warm depending on the time of year.

Excellent venue. I love the decor and the oldness of it. We went for a concert and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had seats at the very top floor so the climbing stairs was not ideal but restrooms were one level down. They were spacious and clean. Very well maintained.

One of my favorite venues, period. It's absolutely gorgeous inside. I've been to a wide array of events there and enjoyed all of them completely. We got main 2 general admission tickets so there was open floor standing during a concert, which is fine and all but I wanted to sit down and in some venues, that's just not possible. There are plenty of open seats in the back of the theater. The view was perfect. Event in videos and pictures is Elderbrook on 3/20/25. His opener was Vandelux. This was his first stop on this tour and we loved it besides the lights from behind the set were, at times, incredibly god damned bright. Sunglasses recommended.

Went here for a concert/laser show with my teens the other day. We got here about 20 minutes before the doors opened and ended up waiting outside in front of the place in the rain. Once we got inside, we were amazed at the architecture. It was really cool! My kids were hungry, but we were disappointed that they only had little snack bags and candy to buy. For just a couple little bags of chips and bottles of soda plus a little bag of yogurt raisins, I spent $45! Don’t go here hungry! The concert was very cool in this venue. The lasers were neat, and the sound was loud, especially the bass. My teens and I all had earplugs on, so it was not too bad. The problem I had was that the seats were very tight. I have arthritis in both knees and am only 5’5” tall, but my knees were completely smashed into the seat in front of me. There were also some large men in front of us who had to sit sideways to squeeze into the seats. All in all, this is a special old theater that they kept up well. It’s great for special shows and the area directly outside of it is not too bad. Just a few blocks away, however, there were a lot of homeless people doing drugs in the street once it got dark.

Felt like stepping back in time. The acoustics were amazing when Mandy Pattinson was singing some of Broadways best songs. We were in row J seats 13 & 14 and could both see everything on stage. The extra cost was worth it in our opinion. We would have gone again but there was no show on Sunday night.
