No seat is a bad seat! I am sure this is the case with most theaters but It doesn’t hurt to point this out. The theater is very quaint and I appreciate that the show started on time. I never quite figured out where to park, but if you go in the middle of the week, there is plenty of street parking available. The Capri Theater is known as the place where Prince launched his career. But I swear, every place in Minneapolis stakes that claim. I need Prince to really set the record straight on who deserves the credit. Otherwise, I think the place would also be great for a music venue for a local upcoming artist.

Okay, this theatre was built in 1927 and doesn’t have any reviews?! This is where Prince got his start!(I must admit, I was here for the first time about a week ago, but it was great!) This is a cozy theatre set just inside of North Minneapolis. It looks as though the lobby and surrounding areas were recently renovated. However, the theatre looks the same(as it should) as it probably has been for a while. As you enter the theatre, there are not many seats(maybe 200 – 300). But you are able to have an intimate experience with the stage(well, the acts on it… but not too intimate). The rear wall is coated with old-school sound paneling that surrounds a wide-open window to the sound booth. It gives you the feeling of being in a professional sound booth. Being so small, there is not a bad seat in the house. Now, I saw theatrical performances there, but my instinct was, «this would be a great place for a rock show or comedic performance!» Honestly, I do not know, nor care what you would use this space for, but please keep track of what is going on there. Keep theatre and the arts alive in this fantastic Minneapolis space!
