Hershey Theater

Great theater. Always able to have great seats no matter where I sit. I only wish we could get out of the parking lot more easily.

We are frequent visitors here for the Broadway shows. Tonight we came to see Straight No Chaser. Packed hiuse. The ushers were helpful and friendly. Extra security — metal detectors and purse/​bag searches. Our seats were close to the action. Great show!

Beautiful theater! It’s a historical building and hence doesn’t have some modern facilities which we are used to seeing now. Bathrooms are very small and have limited stalls.
The seats are small too. I know so many friends who would be quite uncomfortable if they went there.
Small though gives a feeling of watching a personal show and hence a different experience.

its nice to have a theatre in the area but my god, the seats are tiny. they are so narrow and no leg room. they must have been made for infants.

Another beautiful building… brought to you by Milton Hershey. So I learned a few things about this Theater throughout my weekend in this small town. First, this building was constructed and designed by Mr. Hershey during the great depression and was originally used as the community center. Also, this is the «smallest» theater used for Broadway (off) shows, so when the sets are built, they are specifically built to this stages scale. If they fit here, they will fit anywhere.
The building itself is stunning. It has very detailed and ornate walls and ceilings. When you want into the actual theater, look up. You will see the individual pieces of stone that have been placed together to create amazing pictures. The details in the walls that are holding the light and sound systems are just amazing.
The seating here is a bit dismal. It’s small and cramped and you are essentially sitting in the lap of the person next to you. I found the seats to be uncomfortable too. Add winter coats to the small area and you’ve created a three hour coffin.
I am sure this is not an every night issue, but the night we were there it was so stifling hot inside the theater that is was hard to breathe. During intermission, even the nonsmokers rushed outside to get some sort of relief.
The staff is very nice and the rest rooms are stunning.

Truly a great experince. I have seen The Blue Man Group here once and I recently saw Elf. To be honest, Elf was a better experience. We were downclose to the orchestra pit rather in the balcony. The seating was off to the right, but was still fantastic. The seats are a little small, but it looks to be an older theature. It is meticulous though, very ornate. What’s funny about the seats are that this is farm country, and all the farmers I have met in my life were usually bigger more muscular people. I am not a huge guy, maybe bigger than most. The seats fit me snuggly. The person next to me was much bigger, she sat on a bit of an angle. Either way, I was comfortable, so this is minor.
The attendants were very pleasant and helpful. The woman who sat us had never used an iPhone, but still took our picture when we asked. Those randomn acts of kindness that people do to make a guest’s visit special and are what makes or breaks a business. We actually used that picture, for our Christmas card.
They sell wine, coffee and hot chocalate, it was tastey. My wife was being playful so she complained to the person serving wine that I don’t take her anywhere and that I was cheap. He felt bad for her so he gave her a lot more than she should have had. It was very funny and worth the embarrassment, as it made her smile. So the pseudo bartenders are nice, caring people. The entire experience was awesome and I look forward to my next visit.

Great location that typically brings good quality shows to the mid-​state. Worth checking out.

Great venue and accoustics! Not a bad seat in the theater! I can’t wait to go back for another show!

Very nice theater. I love the old architecture. I also couldn’t believe how comfortable the seats were.

This is a neat historic theater in Hershey. Definitely come and check it out!

Love it! Huge space with ok seating which is compensated for by a nostalgic feel. And they also tend to bring in quality entertainment! I highly recommend them as one of the top venues for subscription or one-​time events in the area.

Impressive theater, really beautiful. I heard the place is modeled after the sistine chapel and I’d say they did a pretty good job replicating. Prices for shows can be pricey but they do have shows come through that are worth paying for. I really enjoyed the experience.
