The restored and updated Missouri Theater is a great place to see a show. The theater itself is spectacular, and theyve added excellent sound and lighting systems to really enhance the experience. My primary disappointment is with the seats, which are rather small, so long shows can be a bit uncomfortable for larger people, but that doesnt push me off of 5 stars.

We viewed Mike Middletons semi-biopic, Only the educated are free in the majestic,ornately beautiful Missouri Theatre.Such a privilege to witness an exemplary family legacy unfold, but also to feel the Theatre as part of the community belief in equality and freedom, for all.

This place is beautiful!

Artistic and beautiful. Resonant hall with amplified performances.

Home for the holidays production was wonderful! Staff were very helpful and professional.

Always love this theatre. Great show, beautiful vintage theater

I love going to the Missouri Theatre to so MCB perform! Great as always!

Nice venue in the heart of Columbia, free parking (on weekends) nearby and several restaurants within walking distance.

Being a resident of St. Louis, I have had the privilege of going to Powell Symphony Hall and many other venues equally nice. The Missouri Theater ranks among them. The interior is lovely and reminds me of an older Grand Dame. The employees were most pleasant and helpful. Thank you for making my first visit wonderful.

Inspiring architecture and art work. Columbia has never looked so good as from second floor lounge. Air conditioning had us chilly though.

Such an amazingly beautiful building in which to drink in the arts!

Beautifully restored old theatre. Very pristine, historic venue to watch a concert. I have seen 2 good concerts here. There is not a bad seat in the house. The balcony is a fun to watch from as the main floor. Right on 9th street in the heart of beautiful downtown Columbia.

Great venue with wonderful acoustics. Fantastic place to listen to music. Ambiance is great!

There space us really cramped. My view was completely blocked by a wheelchair that was really really tall. There were other places it couldnt been moved that did not block anyones view of the show. It was disappointing.

Beautiful structure. So much fun to perform in! Tickets are pricey.

Amazing theater in the heart of downtown.

Another fun performance by the Missouri Symphony Conservatory.

Its a beautiful venue in the heart of the District in Columbia.

Pirates of Penzance

Beautiful historic theatre which was reburished few yrs ago. Attended the Texas Tenors concert, sponsored by Missouri Symphony Orchestra.

Regardless of what show you see, you’re watching it in a GORGEOUS historic theater. It’s a more intimate experience than seeing a show in one of the massive venues in Kansas City or St. Louis. The front of house staff is also pretty awesome!

Beautiful building, classic old style theater, with balcony. They host many community and cultural events as well as musical performances.

A very beautiful theater! Had a very easy time acquiring tickets to a ballet, which was very well done. The staff are courteous and willing to answer any questions and help you find your seat.

Beautiful place they needed a better way to purchase a drink for long wait

My son performed his first violin concert here. Its a lovely building!

It was one of my most favorite experiences there cant wait till the next one the choir and the dancers were amazing tonight

Great old theatre.

Great place for music, art and fun. A little loud sometimes but great times can b found.

Beautiful theater that has so much charm. Amazing place to visit. People there are always nice.

Absolutely gorgeous theater!

We saw the Reduced Shakespeare Companys Ultimate Christmas Show! Fantastic.

Chonda Pierce was AMAZING!

This is a beautiful place well worth going to see

We attended a concert on a Friday evening. The problems:1. Parking is terrible. Mostly on street and metered (until 7 pm). Very difficult to find a spot. 2. The concessions for drinks were a mess. Very poorly organized and there was one incredibly slow line. Also, after waiting in line forever, paid $6 for the worst vodka and tonic I have ever tasted. 3. Most seats in the balcony have virtually no leg room. ( Seats on the main level appeared to have more room.) 4. Some of the acoustics were bad. We were unable to understand most of what the band members were saying as it sounded very muffled. 5. Way too warm, in balcony area anyway. Would not return.

A beautifully restored theater with an amazing variety of performances.

Amazing staff that makes the experience 10/10. Great variety of shows and the building is GORGEOUS! Very accessable too!

Really beautiful and well maintained. The acoustics arent great though.

Awesome place! But dont expect front door parking - which some people seem to (unrealistically) expect. Park in the Hit Street garage (free after 6) or the lot on Seventh Street (free after 6) and walk a few blocks (1-2 minutes) to the theatre. Enjoy!

Comfortable seating with enjoyable local performances. Beautiful architecture and design as well!

Great for performers and listeners alike

The best concert venue in Columbia for classical music. Beautiful architecture.

Good atmosphere. Great piece of local history!

Beautiful spot to see theatre and concerts. Restored. Historic. Ultimate cool.

Beautiful. If you live in Columbia pleasetake advantage of this treasure.

Nice classically decorated. Great sound acoustic for performances.

Nice venue. Relatively inexpensive. Courteous staff or volunteers whenever we have gone. Parking is tough like everywhere downtown.

Its a quaint old theatre that still does a great job

This theatre has been restored and is in a great location

This beautifully restored building has an interior that is truly amazing. Whatever kind of performance you are attending will be that much more enjoyable because of it.

Wonderful location to see a show.

Great venue to watch our kids in their recital

Gorgeous old theatre! The seats have updated and are very comfortable.

Amazingly beautiful rehabbed theater. Currently owned by the University of Missouri Columbia. Always fantastic orchestral and other musical presentations at this place. Usually it has food and wine. Concessions. Elevator. Sometimes they do movies. There is a will call and ticket sales, both at location and online. Parking is on the street. The facility is fabulous. A landmark of Columbia Missouri. Definitely you will want to go to this place. Repeatedly. Columbia Art League is also house in this facility. You have the option of using and purchasing some fabulous art as well. This is somebody has a very long history. Please go and check it out.

Beautiful venue! Ive watched movies, bands, ballets and orchestras here. Its a local treasure.

Very good show and nice location.

Venue was good, music was yikes

This place is like office place I go one day in side I see the people

Went there for my sons police academy graduation and was blown away by the architecture. It is so amazing and makes you realize that theaters of days gone by were works of art.

Beautiful venue. Not a bad seat in the building.

Beautiful venue, great show.

Historic theater is a great place to watch a music performance or a movie. My favorite venue for True/False Film Fest. Big yet intimate.

Good concert.Very nice old theater with comfortable seats.

Excellent show

Great venue for film, theater, and music. Former movie theater restored.

Beautiful historic theatre. Good for concerts, films, parties...

Great venue, Ive seen a dozen different types of shows here, all great.

Ok venue. A little dated and musty smelling. However great architecture

Beautifully restored historic venue with great sound quality and comfortable seating.

I have limited experience a the Missouri Theatre as a venue I was assigned during the True/False Flim Festival in 2015.The restoration is beautiful! As I dont live in Columbia now (I did many years ago), I am unaware of the politics surrounding the cost of the restoration and MUs involvement.What I see is a theatre with unobstructed views from every seat, great acoustics - even when the music is a band on the stage, not a movie with sound delivered via a mixing board. I felt privileged to work at this venue of the Festival even more than others. The history is palpable, its as if the building has a spiritual profile. Should I be lucky enough to volunteer at this venue again I will consider it an ongoing honor. It did justice to the films shown there as well as hosting parties! One may only imagine a masquerade ball from decades ago.Like the City itself, the theatre is not just a bridge, but a link from past to present Columbia.

Great place to watch venues

Its okay nothing special

Beautiful old theater in excellent condition. Great acoustics. Bad parking.
