Beautiful Theater with Good Programs and Very Nice Acoustics

Went to the Basie the other night for a local theater company’s production of Hunchback. I was reminded once again of what a treasure it is. The original paint has been restored to the historic, 2,000+ seat theater. It is gorgeous. As a plus, it’s...More

I want to buy first row, end of the row tickets for my mom, but the pictures on line show the sound system boxes right in that area, seemingly on both sides. Would theses be in the way of a petite 5 foot tall lady?

Hello. I'm looking to come up from Atlanta with a friend from Nashville to go to The Soul Kitchen in mid October 2016. There is a specific event that we are trying to go to where we can meet Jon Bon Jovi and family. I hear that the Count Basie Theatre is very near by. Has anyone gone over to the Jovi Soul Kitchen and had a meal or made a donation for someone to have a meal?
