What travelers are saying

The wife and I went to "A Musical Christmas Carol" at the Byham yesterday.

I'd never been to the Byham Theater before and it's a beautiful venue that's more intimate than the Benedum Center, which makes it great for a concert or theater performance.

My husband and I enjoyed the Canadian "Tenors" concert immensely last week.

Quaint and Unique!

I thought this theater was so unique. I thought I had stepped back in time. The only unfortunate thing is that the seats are small and the aisles are so narrow. Otherwise, beautiful.

Do they sell refreshments?

September 19, 2017|

Answer

Yes, there are concession stands that provide beverages (soft drinks and alcoholic) as well as candy / snack foods. However, they are to be consumed outside the seating area. At least they were for the show I attended.

I, personally, enjoy dressing up a bit. However, you see a bit of everything from suit and tie to jeans and t-shirt.

Will the front row be best for a concert?

AnswerShow all 2 answers

Of course. This theater is very intimate, so there are very few "bad" seats, in the sense that you can clearly see the stage. As for acoustics, there are really no bad seats.
