Fantastic theatre, friendly staff, comfortable chairs, plenty of space. I wandered all over the theatre and checked out the unique views from the floor to the very top. Billy Strings put on a spectacular 3 night show that was unforgettable, Flagstar Strand Theatre was the perfect venue for the event.

They did a really great job re-doing this. Im not sure what it use to be. But the concert I went to, there was a good view no matter where you sat. The cozy feel and the size makes any concert or show very personable and enjoyable. The drinks in the bar next door are a little pricey. But it is a very nice bar and Im sure they redid that as well. Other than that parking was easy to find, and if the show gets done early you have a convient brewery across the street.

What a great venue. Small enough that every seat has a great view. It also has a cool second floor for hosting parties/receptions or corporate events. Its a full service venue with great food and bars.

Very beautiful theater. The renovations are wonderful and make this place a co.parable venue to some of the larger theatres in detroit. Love seeing events done here.

We drove 50 miles to see one of our favorites, Billy Strings. We had never heard of this place. We were pleasantly surprised, venue very nice and pretty, comfortable, not huge, clean. Has a bar and nice bathrooms. Surrounding area kind of deserted. We would come here again.

Was there for the marionettes on 10/5 at 3pm and they cancelled the show without a peep. I drove an hour to see that show, and they couldnt even leave a sign on the window... just left us all standing out there over an hour until we got bored and wondered off.

Nice venue. It was my first time here and will definitely be back.Parking is inconvenient or expensive. Surprisingly, Detroit is easier, even in Greektown or near the stadiums.

Beautiful venue, great hospitality, clean & easy access parking. Best thing is, that the seats have legroom. Right in the center of everything, so you can grab a bite before or after!

So much potential here ...hey Pontiac leadership why dont you get to work on revitalizing this downtown. Just a thought, but if Pontiac government worked with the business people and developers instead of always getting in the way and making things needlessly difficult this downtown area would be amazing.

Very intimate venue. However, the seats are very small and the heating and cooling system produces serious temperature fluctuations. Parking is easy as well and that was a real plus.

Beautifully redone. I personally helped rebuild this (concrete repairs and the elevator shaft that required 78 yards of dirt be removed the old fashioned way with pulleys and wheel barrows from the basement).
