What a gorgeous theater! Like many older places, the ceilings were ornate and beautiful. Big curved staircases to reach upper levels. Elevators available, too. Located on Main Street with a parking garage adjacent. I went for a comedy show. They had beverages available on every level. I sat as high as you can get and had no trouble seeing the stage. There was an issue with the sound for the 1st 5 minutes but the team got it sorted out. Comfy seating. Plenty of room and support with arm rests. Staff at every entrance and level to help. Security at front entrance. All were super nice!
My friend surprised me with tickets to my favoritist artist EVER, Marilyn Manson, which was at the Midland, and I had a phenomenal time! This venue is a super neat place! I didn't get many pictures as I was wanting to be present, in the very surreal moment, but I did share a few... The ONLY thing I didn't like about this place was the price of the flipping drinks!!! Completely absurd, as I spent $64 on two vodka Red Bulls! 😳😱 I did order them each with double shots, one for me & one for my friend, as I didn't plan on drinking more than one, knowing they would be a little pricey (and I didn't wanna lose my spot while getting drinks!) but I did not see that super inflated price coming, AT ALL...! $32 a drink..... Holy cow. But it far from ruined my night as we went on to have THE BEST TIME! Also, getting in was super quick and easy... (FYI-my friend found a way to get into like a super fast line to get in quickly so we could get better spots! I believe he said it was $50 that he spent on it and it was soooo totally worth it! Not sure if they do this at all shows, but if so, I do recommend purchasing one if you want in on the up front action... I believe it is called a quick pass, but could be wrong, but it's a different line from just the regular line and it got us in with a quickness, to get right up front! What a great night!
Me and my family went here to see a lovely comedian. It was very fun and at first I was just excited to see the comedian. Once I stepped inside though, I was blown away by the beautiful ceilings, walls, and practically everything within this building. It was beautiful, the comedian even commented on it. The event was run nicely and was definitely one of the better theaters I have been too. We were seated pretty far back, but we still had a lovely view.
Let's talk about how great the Midland Theatre is. I've gone to countless shows here for many years. Every single time it's a great experience. No matter what seat or general admision ticket you buy, there's a great view of the stage and the sound system works well in all directions. The staff are super friendly and really work to ensure that you have a good experience. I'm including a video that was taken from the back of the main level - you can see that the stage isn't that far away even from the back of the theatre. There's always room out in the main lobby for multiple merch tables, and the lines don't ever seem to be too bad. There's plenty of indoor parking within a few blocks of the theatre, I've never run into a full garage or scrambling at the last minute to find parking. The band in the video is "The Band Named Camino". I'd never heard of them but a friend got tickets and said we should go. They put on a heck of a show and I'd go see them again, preferably at The Midland of course!
The Midland Theatre is a performing arts theater.
