Embassy Theatre

Beautiful theater in Fort Wayne. For this show, they used the orchestra pit and put seats in. I was in the third row; acoustics were good for me and my vision was not blocked (once again, I was up front). Free street parking around the venue (not sure if there was a cost for the garage).
The entrance/​exit was a nightmare and was very congested. Perhaps they should scan tickets at the actual door to the theater rather than the front door. In addition, the bar lines were very long and due to the bar’s location, extended to the front door (perhaps contributing to the congestion at the entry/​exit ways.
Bar service was mediocre. There were only 2 bars and each was staffed with a cashier and bartender. Service was slow and at times confusing. Mixed drinks $ 6 (Jack and Coke). They had domestic beer (PBR and Miller) that was overpriced.
Restrooms are located in the basement.

I had the opportunity to see Mosely Beatles tribute band last Friday. The theater was perfect and for use Chattanoogans, it is very similar to our Tivoli but maybe a bit bigger but not sure. The décor was beautiful and the original tile flooring, walls and overall ambiance made you feel like you were back in in 1928, when it opened.
Parking is plentiful in covered garages around the area and we paid 4 dollars to park in the Hotel garage (Marriott I think) and took a covered walkway over to the theater. The seats were very comfortable and they had lots of staff to assist the guests finding seats. They had food and drink, including alcohol and you were allowed to take it into the theater seating area. The last time I was at the Tivoli in Chattanooga, you were not allowed to bring in drinks, which is disappointing.
Bottom line — it was a great evening and the Mosely Beetles tribute band was the best. If you get the chance to attend an event there it is worth the trip. Great for groups and also to a great place take a date for a nice evening. It gets a 5 from me.

Stunningly beautiful old theatre in downtown Ft. Wayne. We have made the trek to Ft. Wayne a few times for shows at the Embassy and we love it! The staff is friendly, the seats are comfy and there isn’t a bad seat in the house! It’s located in the heart of a downtown that is being transformed into a destination spot. I will keep my eye out for the next show booked at the Embassy. We will be back!

Such a gorgeous theatre! I can’t say enough about how beautiful this place is! I don’t think there is a bad seat in the house and the chairs were spacious enough to not feel overly crowded. You can tell most of the architectural integrity was kept in tact. There are concessions and you are allowed to bring them in the theatre. My only complaint is that there is only 1 way in and out, so it does take a long time to exit the actual building if you’re seated at the far end.

Always a classic to step foot in this place. Prices for product are high. Can only drink and eat in lobby. Which is kind of lame but I get it. To protect the theatre.

The building is absolutely gorgeous inside and out. It’s truly one of the old remaining jewels in Fort Wayne. I love the festival of trees they host every Christmas season and that they use the space to present not only Broadway productions, famous comedians and musicians, but also to showcase local performers and children’s events. I fondly remember performing ballet recitals here as a little girl. :) I can’t say enough wonderful things about the Embassy, and what a great piece of Fort Wayne history, life and culture that it represents.

Hello!
My name is RT.
And I would like to share with you
The most amazing play.
Er… musical.
Ya ya ya.
Prepare to be insulted if you are a Mormon, a Jew or a Christian! If you’re a Muslim, you’re screwed… but what else is new.
Seriously though, The Book of Mormon is the most hilarious and most inappropriate musical I have ever seen in my life… and probably will ever see in my life and in eternity. I’m covering two planes here. You know I’m serious. Do yourself a favor, book the tickets a year in advance, if you can, pay the price, and go. You won’t regret it!
Word to the wise: Don’t go with your 80 year old grandmother to this. Not only will she not understand any of it (and in effect wasting $ 200– thank God I didn’t pay), she’ll fall asleep during it.
Oh wait, that’s the wrong religion. Um… Hello!

An old beauty. I am always impressed by the detail and the grace of the architecture inside this downtown theater, and now the location has been greatly enhanced by downtown redevelopment with a wonderful ball park next door and a new hotel. The soundstage is conducive to very good acoustics. The Fort Wayne Philharmonic sounds very good here. Whether in the balconies or down in the orchestra, the sound has always been very good. I once sat next to a retired engineer who helped construct Symphone Hall in Boston, who also helped with construction of the acoustics for the Embassy. We agreed that the Embassy had a very impressive soundscape. I also appreciate the many civic events staged at the Embassy, from children’s programs to programs for community schools.

The beautiful historic Embassy Theatre! Perhaps one of the greatest places in Fort Wayne. We’re lucky to still have this gorgeous theatre around as it was saved from the wrecking ball once upon time. It was originally built as a movie palace featuring the Grande Page Theatre Pipe Organ — which has luckily remained in it’s home and is still played!
The theatre itself is clean and comfortable and in tact for the most part from when it first opened back in 1928 with perhaps a few added modern luxeries. They also have a very faithful group of volunteers and donors that have kept this place alive and that are really at the heart of this organization for without them we wouldn’t have this masterpiece but rather a parking garage or vacant lot of some sort. Also they have a staff of employees that are passionate themselves for the theatre.
And would you believe it if I told you they have a better Broadway series than Indianapolis?! It’s true! Check out there website for there event listings so you can see this amazing place!

I’ve been staying in downtown Fort Wayne, just down the street from the Embassy Centre, 2 – 3 nights a week for the past 2 months. I was always curious about what the place looked like on the inside, and I’ll be honest– I wasn’t expecting much. Boy, was I wrong.
A couple co-​workers and I somehow got free tickets to the Goo Goo Dolls show. I got over the initial weirdness of going to a concert with superiors only after passing through the doors of the Embassy and having a feeling of awe overcome me.
It’s gorgeous inside. I don’t know how to describe it, other than it’s hard to imagine a structure this beautiful could exist in a town like Fort Wayne. Just look at pictures, and you’ll see what I mean. The actual theatre is intact and provides a beautiful sound, while remaining incredibly intimate.
Easily one of my favorite concert venues.

This place is amazing.
It’s a gorgeous theater built in the 1920s and restored to its original look and feel. Heck, it’s worth going just to see the bathrooms (that are located downstairs). There’s a foryer-​like space complete with cushy chairs and a fireplace (that doesn’t work, I suspect) where you can hang out… connected to the restrooms.
The theater proper is amazing. The chairs are mighty comfortable — and there’s a badass balcony.

The Embassy Center is one of my all-​time favorite places in Fort Wayne. The structure is absolutely gorgeous and the place has a history worth hearing. If you are looking for an evening of entertainment while enjoying a historic part of the city check out a show or exhibit at The Embassy.
Entertainment includes national recording artists, comedians, and theatrical performances. You can also check out the local seasonal events like the Festival of The Trees. Even more, the centre can be rented out for private events such as weddings.
I have enjoyed every event I’ve attended at The Embassy. The architecture and great atmosphere only enhance the experiences.

Restored beautifully, the Embassy is a visual delight. It’s a tribute to the community to have saved it from the wrecking ball, ensuring locals and visitors, a great place for the performing arts.
I don’t know ticket prices for shows in general, but we had orchestra seats for the Pops for $ 46 which I thought was a great value. Almost two hours of singing and wonderful symphonic music, the singers and orchestra deserved the standing ovation at the end of the program.
I was pleasantly surprised to see when buying a drink that beverages, not just water, were allowed in the theatre. Prices were very reasonable for drinks.
An added bargain was finding parking on the street! It doesn’t get any better!
