Count Basie has been putting on quality shows for years but the recent renovations make it a great theater to watch the shows. The location is fantastic and easy to get to by either train, bus or car. The restaurants are fantastic in the area. The seating inside the theater is roomy so you're comfortable, not like NY.

Just went with my wife and daughter to see the Golden Dragons Chinese Acrobats. As always, The Basie is great and they really seem to be making some upgrades. A new lobby is in the works and there seems to be more restrooms. Drinks are pricey but that's par for the course for any venue.
