This place isn’t just your average theater, it’s got history, having opened its doors back in 1936, and over the years, it’s seen some pretty epic moments. Like in 2011, when the legendary Who made a rare appearance during their comeback tour, and the crowd went wild. The theater is actually pretty eco-conscious too, hosting all sorts of green initiatives and artist discussions that make you feel like you’re part of something bigger. The sound quality? Oh, it’s top-notch, those upper seats sometimes get raves from folks saying they feel like they’re right up front.
