Suzanne Roberts Theater

We saw DISGRACED today, and it was a very good show! The theater is very clean, and there is a nice café in the theater, which serves beverages and light snacks. Worth visiting this place… A true five star!

Came here last night to see a play. Cute space, excellent facilities and we loved our front row seats. It’s an intimate venue so I doubt there’s a bad seat in the house. Pre-​show drinks were well-​made and the staff were vert friendly. Will be back when a new show starts!

Came here last night to see a comedy show.
It was a great little theater. They were comfortable seats good snacks and they even hosted a happy hour after the show. Most important it was clean and updated. Did not seem old and run down like some theaters in philly.
For those coming from out of town there was parking right across the street too.

Such a great theater! The facility is always clean and nice. The staff is wonderful, especially the bartenders! I just saw Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike and it is a great play; the cast is phenomenal. Also, I recommend the drinks based on the characters, especially the Vanya.
I have seen a few shows here and they are always high-​quality, not only the production but the acting and everything else.

This theater is the home of the Philadelphia Theatre Company, which has a separate set of reviews. So here I am just reviewing the physical space and the staff running it.
The space still feels new, even though it’s been around for a few years now. We had balcony seats when we were subscribers and we liked them a lot. Recently, I’ve been on the main floor and can confirm that there isn’t a bad seat in the house.
The concession stand has a pleasant selection of choices and is open early enough that you can enjoy your wine or beverage before the play if you want to. If you don’t finish it, you can take it into the theater.
The box office staff is super efficient and helpful. I’ve never had a problem picking up tickets and I’ve been there more than a dozen times.
The plays at this theater are always excellent. See my separate review of PTC. If I hadn’t gotten a job that took me out of town for a year, we’d probably still be subscribers. This is our favorite theater in Philadelphia.

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing The Scottsboro Boys presented by Philadelphia Theatre Company at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre. First of all, the show was fantastic!!! If it is still playing when you read this go check it out! It features some Philadelphia favorites as well as the bulk of the Broadway cast. It was the first thing I saw at Suzanne Roberts, personally opting more often for the smaller and more local productions around the area by companies like InterAct. My commitment to local works and the PTC price points (up to $ 70 for some performances) have always deterred me but I definitely enjoyed my time and will be trying to go back for Reasons to Be Pretty later in the season.
Now for the space itself. If you are unfamiliar, the Suzanne Roberts is a more traditional theater space than many Philadelphia venues like the Adrienne Theatre or Christ’s Church, and from the moment you enter it has a very different and far more commercial feel, that is not a criticism but worth noting as you might want to dress up just a little more when attending a show here. Ultimately, the venue is beautiful and well-​kept and I absolutely agree that there doesn’t seem to be a bad seat in the house. There is a complimentary coat check in the lobby which I highly recommend as the seats are not all that spacious, and a nice lineup of concessions for your eating and drinking pleasure. The seats are not super comfortable in my opinion and I found myself needing to adjust my sit a number of times during the performance which I’m sure was annoying to those around me.

Great thought-​provoking performances.

We just visited this theater for the first time to see a Philly Live Arts show. The theater is a great size — as someone else pointed out, there are no bad seats. It seemed very nice and new. The concessions are reasonably priced and you can take drinks into the theater with you, which I liked. The seats were comfortable and I had plenty of leg room. The acoustics were excellent. Even the bathrooms were nice. I would definitely come see a show here again!

A great venue to see a show. It’s not too big — every seat could have been a great seat. it was very clean, and the seats are rather comfy.
Went and saw Long Story Short — quite hilarious. I hope they continue to have great shows. Just a beautiful place.

This is a really nice theater. Their first success is keeping their enormous sign from falling to the ground (though I am still wary about walking underneath it.) The lobby waiting area is comfortable and well-​spaced out, with complimentary coat check before the show. The theater itself is smaller than I expected (seats around 350), and everything looks very new. The seats were nice and squishy and there was plenty of leg room, plus, the orchestra section is small enough that every seat has an excellent view of the stage. I’d definitely see another show here.
