What People Are Saying About Paramount Theatre

The View
Patrons could be sitting quietly during an acoustic set or jumping around to hip-hop beats. But the overall vibe is reserved, thanks to the theater's ban on smoking and drinking during shows. The regal showroom was beautifully restored and there are very few Seattle venues more carefully maintained. The sparsely decorated bar off the lobby has a tendency to get crammed between acts, so expect long lines and tight quarters while imbibing.

The Experience

The audience varies widely, as the theater hosts such varied acts as David Bowie and Slick Rick. Music isn't the only draw--Broadway musicals like "Chicago" and "Hairspray" regularly light up the marquee.

Most of the seats in the theatre are great. However, I had the displeasure of having seats that weren't! Main Floor Aisle 3 Row HH Seats 3 & 4. For some reason, all the seats in Row HH are positioned directly behind the seats in Row GG. Perhaps this condition occurs in other rows throughout the theatre also. Because of this design, I had the unfortunate displeasure of having an overly large and tall gentleman seated in front of me. Being vertically-challenged at 5 ft 5 inches tall, I could not enjoy the performance because of my view of the stage was completely obscured!!! Obviously this made my enjoyment of the performance very undesireable to say the least!

Whether it?s music or theater the Paramount is one of the best concert venues in Seattle. Not only is the location small which gives it great acoustics, but the architecture of the building itself is gorgeous. I saw The Fray play back in November and loved it. I not only took pictures of the band, but everything around me as well. I can't wait to go back!

The Paramount in Seattle is one of two places we typically go to see Broadway style plays. It's old charm and historical building is well preserved and elegant. The quality of theater is above most in Seattle.

The Details on Paramount Theatre

Parking:

Try scouting around the block a couple of times. For big shows, the numerous pay lots are your best bet.

Know Before You Go:

For hip-hop shows, don't bring bags. The staff won't check them, and you can't bring them inside. In a pinch, hoof it over to the Greyhound station and rent a locker.
