    The Grand is an intimate venue and every seat in the house is good. The only drawback is that the seats are uncomfortable if the show is over 2 hours.  more »

    Wonderful old theater with great acoustics and seating. Saw all the Allman Bros tribute bands there on this trip. Some very good, most not so good. Still, a great place to see a concert.  more »

    First time visiting the opera house. So beautiful! Staff was so friendly and accommodating. This venue reminds me of the Metropolitan Opera House in NYC! All seats are good and great acoustics! Can't wait to visit again!
