One of the world’s best orchestras...what else is there to say. Even when directed by visiting conductors, the Cleveland Orchestra sound shines thorough. And Severance Hall is elegantly beautiful and acoustically superb - regardless where you sit you will feel the power or the softness of this orchestra. With an early dinner, either at The Hall or restaurants nearby, along with preconcert lecture, and enclosed parking, you can make an entire evening of wonderful entertainment and convenience.

The Alans style of magic is updated, hard-hitting and unforgettable. This one-of-a-kind show can only be seen at ALEX Theater. Jason and Stacy combine their passions of magic and psychology to bring you a performance that tantalizes the senses and makes the unthinkable a reality. Sit back and be taken by surprise as they partake in a roller coaster ride of laughter, amazement and pure magic.

I was in town to watch my child compete at the Robotics competition. So in the evening I was looking for something to do. I was pleasently surprised to see I was right by Playhouse Square. I was interested in Taming of the Shrew. I saw student pricing advertised but wasn't sure how it worked and what seats were like. I walked to the ticket office where they were very kind and friendly. I then quickly found myself down the block at the Hanna Theater. 1. Student pricing was amazing. I showed my student ID and paid $13 for my last minute ticket. 2. HANNA Theater is a small, very intimate venue. I don't think there would be any bad seat in there. 3. SEATS ON THE STAGE: see the picture. Those are actual audience members sitting on the stage. It's a fun idea but I personally would find it awkward. FYI on the diagram they looked like they were kind of backstage seats. So I just wanted to let ppl know they are directly on the stage. 4. Cute little concession stand in the front lobby. Nice small bar right inside the theater. 5. The quality of the actors and production were amazing. I loved the show. Had an amazing time. Would do this again for sure if I lived closer!
8. Allen Theatre

Reviewed By WHMeg - Willoughby Hills, United States
Cleveland Playhouse productions are often staged in the Allen Theatre. This space was made significantly smaller when the theatre was reconfigured a number of years ago and is a stellar performance space, in my opinion. I love sitting in the front row of the balcony as you have a superb view of the entire stage.
