Best roadhouse theatrical venue in the area. Because of covid the whole industry is down. Expect the very first few shows when open to be sold out in 2 minutes.

I LOVE the Saenger. Every year,my choir preforms there. The staff is welcoming, and the dressing rooms are well kept. The stage is a load of fun to preform on, and the mic system has improved lately. The theater itself is gorgeous and the lobby is well sized.

Beautiful theater. Saw the symphonic Pensacola Symphonic Orchestras New Years Eve show and ot was beautiful. For being a smaller group nothing is wanting. They have guns and really enjoy the music and you can feel it. The conductor also puts on an excellent show. Highly recommend.

A really beautiful theater. It is just a couple of years from being 100 years old. The theater is magnificently decorated.

Here we are... hello there! We saw the December 16, 2017 Saturday evening performance of Ballet Pensacolas The Nutcracker at the Saenger. The show was incredible, as expected... and the balcony seats had NO LEG ROOM, as expected. Thus the 4-star rating.The theater has been completely renovated with 2 beautiful ceiling chandeliers and 2 VIP opera boxes on either side of the stage.All seats are good, but if you have long legs or are attending a lengthy performance, I highly recommend FLOOR SEATS. There are plenty of options, some close to the centrally-located orchestra pit.The Ushers are extremely helpful and knowledgeable beyond seat location, plus they are all volunteers. They LOVE the Arts and Pensacola!Pensacolas Saenger Theatre is not the largest --as there are several Saenger Theatres throughout the South, including the larger, gorgeous one in New Orleans, LA

Saenger theatre is always a good venue for a more intimate show. Not a bad seat in the house.

I had the pleasure of escorting my 94 year old neighbor to the Pensacola Symphony at the Saenger last weekend. She loved it. The theater is absolutely beautiful. The staff were wonderfully accommodating. We could not have had a better experience

LOVE This Historic Theater!! I have seen one of my Favorite Blues Artist here; My mom even Loved Robert Cray! Also have seen CATS & a Night with GERSHWIN!!There are no bad seats in the house!

Oh my! The Saenger is so beautiful!! My husband and I have been there several times for different events and we are always in awe when when step in front of the building. It’s stunning... There aren’t enough adjectives to describe it. The only negative is the sound system. We were there this past Saturday night sitting in the front row and there were parts of the comedians skits we missed because of the fuzzy sound. She was built in 1927, I was told, so I guess she needs a bit of upgrading. Enjoy!

What a fun experience for families! Fantastic orchestra performance with all the kid favorites (Harry Potter, Disney, Star Wars, etc.) After the concert they got the opportunity to see the instruments up close and try to play them! Hoping theres more of these events in the future!

Intimate concert venue. Get CLOSE to the Stars.

Beautiful old theater where I saw the Celtic Woman playing. I loved the concert and the employees of the theater gave exceptional care to their guest. Providing options for someone whom was recently injured in order to make their visit more comfortable.

This place is very upscale and no matter what you go there to witness or watch, I am almost 100% positive that the only drawback is the parking! What I mean by that is.... if you know anything about downtown Pensacola you would know that you must get there plenty early or you wont be able to park near it at all. Then the ONLY options left to you will be to park along the street or in the parking structures and walk . Other then that, you and whoever you take with you, will have an amazing time!

The sitting arrangement felt better than the Rex. However seats are still not plus size friendly even for slightly plus size. Sitting down will squeeze you from both sides and you wont want to sit next to other people since the arm wrests are meant for one person only. You can sit for an hour, but wouldnt want to sit for a three hour movie.

Very nice building with a great atmosphere. The acoustics are purdy good as well.But - only place I know to compare it to - is Bass Hall in Fort Worth Texas. Bass Hall has amazing acoustic quality - no matter where you plan to enjoy a show, or musical etc...

Beautiful theater and really enjoyed seeing the Nutcracker here. Staff were friendly and helpful and restrooms were very well maintained as well. Cant wait to go back!

Went to see the 1-28-18 matinee of Madam Butterfly. It was a truly disturbing story, but extremely well performed.The theater itself is absolutely beautiful complete with box seats on the sides and a balcony. The stage is framed ornately, even the ceiling in front of the stage is ornate.I sat down in orchestra section. I was gifted tickets that were in the center of a row. I have an artificial leg, so moving to a center section is not the easiest thing for me. I asked an usher if I could have a different seat and she had me wait briefly while she got another usher. THe other usher was able to quickly find me an aisle seat make the experience even better for me. Great Customer Service!

Experienced a Joe Bonomassa concert there today and had a great experience. The staff was helpful and our seats were the best. I’ll definitelyWatch the schedule for more events!

The theatre it self is very nice. They did an excellent job on renovations. As far as the performance it was excellent. As is all the performances that I have seen there in the past.

The staff at Saenger is AMAZING. I had purchased my tickets through a third party not knowing that if there was an issue it would be almost impossible to get it resolved through them. Side note: Vivid Seats has terrible customer service.Anyway, long story short, I have no clue what happened to my tickets so I was going in with the mindset that this situation was my fault and I just needed information on what to do after running into a wall with Vivid Seats. When I called a month out to explain the situation with the lost tickets, Kristen was super helpful and informative. She gave some options for dealing with Vivid Seats and then gave me some information on what to do when I got to the show. I called back the day before and spoke with Helen, who was also helpful and reiterated the instructions on what to do when I got to the box office. They were very nice, but also honest about potential issues I might run into on the night of the event and gently but firmly suggested that I always go through the theater to buy tickets. (If theres an issue, the theater can resolve it, cheaper tickets, etc.)When we got to the show, I was able to go up to the box office and explain the situation. Luckily I had a picture of the original tickets. They called Helen and were able to get confirmation that I had already spoken to them about my tickets. They gave us a voucher and we found our seats. Again, they were also very clear on what would happen if someone else showed up with the same tickets (we would have to move to the other seats I had purchased - but they werent as good). They made a really frustrating and somewhat stressful situation relatively easy. I honestly cant say enough about their customer service. It was so great.

Perfect venue for a concert! Smaller more intimate space. There isnt a bad seat in the house. Beautiful architecture with lots of character.

You need to add more Stars....we just seen the Musical “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical”This was an absolutely wonderful presentation of performances and musical numbers. A remarkable biography of Carole King. The entire Cast was stunning yet “Kennedy Caughell’s” performance as Carole was as if she was “Cloned”. Her entire performance was flawless, from her emotions to her beautiful voice. What a performance!!!!

The historic and beautiful Saenger Theatre in downtown Pensacola is a never ending joy to attend any of the many production preformances. The Carol King Musical was WONDERFUL filled with very talented actors, actresses and singers. I would love to see this again.

Excellent venue from all seats. Only reason I gave 4 stars as security can change policy from show to show causing a little confusion but no biggie. Saw show last night and going back next week.

Seats were not bad. Good acoustics. Really pleasant, memorable experience.

It is well done refurbished theatre that has great acoustics and atmosphere. Its a great place to watch a broadway touring production or any musical show.

Extremely disappointed - I was kicked out of the venue because I took a picture at the beginning of the show - I had no idea that they have no phone policy!!! Theatre assistant came to me and told me there are no phones allowed, so I apologized and I immediately put the phone back in my purse. I thought that was the end to it, but a security came to me and asked me to leave. I refused in my disbelief that this cannot be true. I did nothing wrong, I came from the long distance and paid a lot for the venue tickets. A minute later a big security man approached me and asked me to leave so I did. I was still hoping I can explain and that they will understand I had no awareness of no phone policy. There was no empathy from security guy. It really spoiled my evening, I was looking forward for this the whole week. I didn’t do anything wrong, I don’t even drink, there were many other people using their phones even after I was leaving the premises. I think that theater workers should have informed in person when they were scanning our tickets about such a strict policy. We were having a great time talking with friends before entering the theatre, so nobody saw small policy posters that I noticed only after I was kicked out. It’s sad that this policy even exist - why does it even exist? If it was put in place because of video recording- I took my picture well before the performer started to talk. I feel injustice.

Pleasant concert experience. Nicely refurbished a few years ago. Local and national events regularly held here.

Ive been here twice for comedy shows and it was clean and nice both times. The elderly women helped me to my seat. The only thing they need to change is their entry policy and beverage purchases. The people coming in have to walk through the beverage line.

Always a beautiful place but wasnt happy about having to leave my water bottle outside. When I left the show the crew almost didnt let me get it back because I didnt come out immediately. Otherwise Ive had pleasant experiences here

Its the Seanger Theater! Its awesome. Ron White put on an excellent performance.

I would give it five stars but the seats are too small and they dont have there own parking lot

Very cool theater. Affordable, clean, great sound. Parking can be a challenge, but this place is so cool, it makes it worth it.

Attended the Broadway Lights Dance Centers A Cinderella Story. An awesome experience for sure!

Amazing venue for music lovers of all genres. really great sound and seating.

CATS THE MUSICAL was Awesome! If you have never seen it, it is worth going! I loved it!!

The staff is amazing. Awesome venue!

Family heating and air had a blast at the Dwight Yoakam concert!

Great time tonight. I would recommend that you eat and drink before going to the show. It is a bit rediculous to charge $2 for a 6 ounce bottled water, and $3 for a 6 ounce bottled soda. Shame on you Saenger Theatre. I call that greed.

Staff was courteous. Facilities were clean. If only there was no demi wall between the former Orchestra pit and Row A to give more leg room.

Beautifully restored historical theater that hosts movies, live music and Broadway productions. Comfortable seating and friendly staff...all at affordable pricing. A Pensacola jewel!

Good food. Good service. Old Cafe feel

Beyond words at how beautiful this theater is! It even has a little balcony overlooking the stage. Highly recommend attending an event there. The orchestra was top notch, the yrly line up of special prrformers is very impressive for a theater of this size. Really a must see in Pensacola!

The attendants and staff was great and the concert I attended was fantastic. The seats however were super uncomfortable for.a guy with long legs. Getting in and out of them was almost impossible. Seeing the Nutcracker in this venue is not an option for me.

Saenger Theater is a small piece of history. Great acoustics, wonderful location, and unlike large venues, easy to enter and exit.

Beautiful traditional raked theatre. Decent volunteers. The concessions were outrageously pierced but the show made it all worth it! Ruben Studdard singing Luther Vandross was amazing!

Loved the concert. Seats killed my knees. Im only 6ft

Easy parking, friendly staff. Staff helped people to seats after show started.

Staff was very friendly. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked! Bar tenders were quick and polite!

We saw Tesla here on Valentines Day. Beautiful theatre!

Chris Tomlin was awesome. First concert at the Saenger and I will definitely be back. It was amazing. I hope Chris Tomlin comes back.

White tie put on a fantastic show

Just saw Gordon Lightfoot concert last night and Gord and the band were fantastic. The music mix was vastly underpowered and you could barely hear the band playing. They should fire the sound guys or etc. There were complaints in the audience. It was so underpowered in level of one sang along with the song you couldnt even hear Gords vocals etc. One doesnt go to a show and a theatre of that quality to hear a mix that sounds like youre listening to it in the other room especially considering the age of Gords listeners 50 plus whose hearing is on the way out. That was the only bad thing about it. Worst mix/sound I have seen. Highly disappointed.

Saw Travis Tritt and White Tie Rock recently. Beautiful venue with an intimate feel.

We go several times a year for different events. The only downside is the congestion at the door waiting through metal detectors. It was about a 10 min wait. But overall beautiful venue. Snacks were overpriced but they got you.

Just like the Grand Old Opry...not a bad seat in the house....many better than others...but not a bad seat

The staff was wonderful; the theater is terrific, and I loved the performance!

Enjoyed Fleetwood Mac Rumors they put on a fantastic show the Saenger is a great place for the show. Easy to access the theater with plenty of help to find your seat

Wonderful Opening Night by the Pensacola Symphony. Close your eyes and allow the music to take over. Such a beautiful experience!

Excellent smaller venue. Saw Marty Stuart. Great Show. Clean place and quiet.

OMG this was the first time I had ever been there. The theater is magnificent. Very authentic. And the show we saw (Coasters, Platters and Drifters) was magical. Very entertaining.

Easy in and out, parking near by. Neat theater.

Beautiful surroundings. Everyone is excited and in good spirits in anticipation of the nights entertainment.

Amazing architecture, excellent place to see a play, concert, comedian or have a meeting in one of their conference rooms.

K an old building walls were dirty play smell kind of funky but it was a good show

I took my son to see Music for Families, The Elements of Music. He really enjoyed all the pieces that the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra played. He also enjoyed having a chance to play all of the various instruments.

The side handicap seating audio was eligible... Everyone in our row was complaining of the accoustics we had NO IDEA what either comedian was saying! That really stunk considering how much we paid for tickets to see Dane Cook.

Beautiful theatre with helpful staff

The performance was entertaining. The ushers were courteous.

All the glory of an old grand theater. Well maintained. Great shows. Never had a less than great experience here

The Saenger is a great place for a unique night out. I had season tickets for the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra, who always put on great performances along with their guest artists and musicians. Check the schedule for other unique events like comedians and travelling performance groups.

Had a fun time. Older building, but still a great place for entertainment!

We saw Chris Tomlin tonight and the concert was great. Saenger is a beautiful theater!

So beautiful and clean. Staff was kind and helpful. Made the experience great.

The theater is beautiful! Seating is very comfortable and they do have enough restroom facilities so you don’t have to wait forever! The only thing that they should work on is the concessions. There should be enough stands to accommodate everyone. They should obtain a liquor license so they can serve liquor drinks as well as beer. And maybe some more snacks!

Just beautiful!

It was something i didnt expect in this Small Minded town But was a Great place Really Nice People Enjoyed it Really

I saw the Nutcracker and it was beautifully done. The artists were elegant and graceful. They did a wonderful job doing their parts. This was my moms Christmas gift and she loved it! I did too! Also, it is a beautiful theatre and well kepted, it was a beautiful and had a classic, historical style. Staff was very kind. Also, bags are checked ladies, no food or drink unless you get it from the theatre.LOVED IT ALL!!!!!

Classic theatre beauty inside, good views from the balcony. It was very hot in there during our September visit, almost as if the AC wasnt working.

Wonderful venue. Lovely historic theater.

Beautiful historic building. Nice concert venue

Great atmosphere, helpful staff and the show was awesome!

Friendly staff, I was pretty much in and out pretty quickly.

Always a great place for a concert. great acoustics.

Enjoyed seeing and listening to Travis Tritt.

Great acoustics, many great memories here!

If u havent seen the white tie ensemble u are missing out some of the best shows

Been to a few concerts at the Saenger. Old building thats in downtown Pensacola. Its a little small but it has balcony seating floor seating and side private balcony seating. The chairs are a little small in my opinion but Im not exactly a small guy either. The acoustics in the old building are pretty good. If your not a drinker I recommend sitting and the middle of the row so youre not constantly having to stand up to let people squeeze by to go get drinks or go to the bathroom. Because theres not a lot of room in between the seats rows. The staff is very helpful and courteous when you get there 2 help find your seat. Its tight quarters so it can get a little warm but overall a great place to go watch some great comedy or an awesome concert

I went here to see Florencia in the Amazon. Absolutely beautiful concert hall, great staff, and amazing show. Tickets were very reasonably priced and no matter where you sit in the auditorium you will have a spot.

The security is great here. I feel very safe.

Parking is convenient, excellent restaurants nearby, and good shows.

In 2012, my then boyfriend, and now husband began our annual tradition of seeing the Nutcracker Balet together. We always have a wonderful time.

I. Am a Pensacola native and live going to events at the Saenger theater when I visit Pensacola. If you are disabled and use a walker, be prepared for a challenge. You will want to get a seat on the aisle as climbing over people is too difficult. But, otherwise, there are no bad seats at the Saenger. Other than needing a really deep cleaning, it is a wonderful venue for many different events.

Love the renovations! Has plenty of parking lots nearby.

The tribute band i saw tonight was very talented but the fellow who controlled the light show kept beaming the bright spot lights into my eyes. Im sure he didnt do it on purpose but it kept happening even after I let him know during the intermission. I couldnt watch the stage and ended up w/a headach!!!

Great venue! Ive always loved this theater. They need a better system for people to pick up their umbrellas after the show.

Awesome venue. We will be there again soon.

Amazing historic theatre. Always a great place to catch a concert or show. The classic movie series is also a fantastic cheap night out.

Great, historical musical venue in Downtown Pensacola.
