This a wonderful venue for this wedding and reception. It was as beautiful as I remembered. The only problem was that the womens restroom was upstairs.

Really enjoyed this theater and them doing the Star Wars music. The symphony was AMAZING and this was a excellent experience. One Ill never forget. Helpful staff and beautiful building. May the 4th be with us all. So FUN!!!

Loved the Sparc Richmond performance of LIVE ART: FAMILY! What a great organization that does so much good. The children. Parents. Cast. Crew. And well known performers. Came together for great afternoon of caring and sharing. The venue is awesome and beautiful! I must come back again soon for another show.

The place is beautiful and sparkly clean. I went with four stars But if youre in a wheelchair its not the most accessible. There are elevators so thats a plus but the bathroom is made up of two hallways and they are small. I posted a picture of one side. The chairs are comfy but they re small. Bigger behinds and thighs beware. There is no way to get a wheelchair down to the seats in the balcony section so its the very back of the balcony or the lower level if youre wheelchair bound. Also something to watch out for if youre tall there is smallll leg room up in the grand tier I added a picture. All in all its a great place and like I said its kept super clean. Ive been to many shows here and will continue to come. This sounds like a bad review but its not I just want to give fair warning for possible troubles.

Concessions are a bit expensive but where arent they? The seats are comfy enough for a two hour play, especially with an intermission. A very comfortable theater, I recommend it.

I like this venue very much. It has seats for handicap patrons. We purchased seats in the obstructed view area. I will post a photo from our seats. My daughter and I had a wonderful time! I even used the app to view all the lyrics of the songs that were performed. It was like having my very own karaoke screen.

The lobby is really open and spacious, easy for people to move around. The employees are kind and helpful. As for the seats, my husband and I are tall people and we felt squished with our knees pressed into the seats in front of us. But we loved the show

The Altria has been a part of the community for decades. They have an annual Broadway in Richmond bringing in blockbusters like Hamilton, Cats, and Wicked. Season tickets are very reasonable especially considering the individual costs plus you get the opportunity to buy other shows before they are eligible to the general public. Seats are a bit close together and little leg room. Probably better in the better seats. Absolutely worth going there.

Saw book of Mormon and it was AWESOME. Great experience, quality service throughout. Concession prices seem high but what are you going to do

Some nose bleed seats, no obstructions. Great acoustics. Beautiful restoration. Comfortable seats. Parking garage right next door.

Really beautiful venue. VCU parking garage across the street was a pretty good option. We had to wait a bit to get out but that’s kind of expected. Security was pretty easy to get through and the ushers were really helpful. We even got a brief history lesson of the building. Acoustics were fantastic and the view was great. $18 for two sodas and a cold popcorn was a bit steep, but it was still good.

Awesome historic theater with a lovely cafe inside. Place is almost 100 years old but recently renovated. Has the old charm along with the comforts of recent amenities. And, rumors the cafe will be open daily will make it even more awesome!

An excellent place to see a concert. The Acoustics are very good. Not very many bad seats in the House. We were in the upper balcony and still enjoyed ourselves.

Beautiful Event Hosted by Mayor Levar Stoney. The facility formerly the Mosque brings back memories of our parents and grandparents old school dances.

We just saw Cats last night (Feb. 7, 2020) from the grand tier and although the building itself is gorgeous and the staff very nice, it is THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE venue I have ever been in! Not only are the seats the tiniest ones I have ever sat in (more like, wedged my bottom into) the pitch, or lack thereof, has you looking directly at the back of the head of the person in front of you. For Cats, mostly a dance performance, having to constantly choose do I go left or right made it impossible to enjoy. So, with being wedged into seating and not being able to see the whole stage at once, it was impossible to simply relax and enjoy the experience that is the theater. Isnt this why we go to the theater? To relax and become immersed in the experience? Theater is to be enjoyed, not suffered through uncomfortably! I will NOT be returning to the Altria theater! Come on Richmond... we can do better than this!

The Richmond Symphony performing in The Harry Potter Concert Series, was absolutely stunning. The music, the timing, the sound, made the movie an unforgettable experience. I have been to all the Harry Potter Concert Series productions, and have never been disappointed. I cant wait until the next performance.

The theatre is well maintained, the quality of the seating and stage seem to be top notch from all perspectives and the ushers made the experience very smooth and speedy. If you can manage to get a seat not behind someone with a giant head of hair or hat then youll have a good time! Refreshments are very expressive though.

Very classy and open theater. Beautiful carpets and wallpaper and the cleanness was top notch. Sound is perfect. No 5 stars bc upstairs balcony seats are very tight and uncomfortable. My knees were touching the front seat and the person next to me was too close for my tastes. No room to even move to the beat of the music! However if u get a good deal its worth it and the place is very beautiful.

Had a wonderful time cant wait until next year.....

I went to go see Hamilton on December 3rd. The staff is very nice and it was a really good experience.

Went and saw Hozier and he was amazing!Theatre was very clean and staff was super friendly and helpful. They helped us find our seats in no time when it was jam packed with people looking for theirs. Great service!

I love this venue. It is so classic. Ive seen many events here and generally love them all. The seats could use an upgrade, but they are not bad. Stay on the lower level or the front of the balcony; after the first 4 rows of the balcony the quality drops considerably.After the show, the traffic is not handled efficiently. This could be improved. Best advice, arrive early and park on the lower level. Level 2 and above will delay your exit by 15 to 20 minutes.

Hamilton was amazing. This rating is not for the show. We went 2 nights to see Hamilton. The first we sat in the orchestra area and the second in the center of the Grand Tier. This is not high quality seating in either section. While the building itself is beautifully decorated, there are some things to remember when purchasing tickets. The show experience was superior in the Grand Tier. The acoustics were amazing and it is an amazing view of the stage, lighting, set, etc. The problem is, I am 6 ft. tall and the leg room was non-existent. I found myself with bruised knees at the end of the 3 hour performance. In the orchestra section, the seating was more comfortable and there was more leg space, however, you sacrifice the best view of the stage and the best acoustics. I am sure there will be no major seating renovations at the Altria theatre in the near future, so this should be considered more informative than complaint. It is an older theatre that has been well maintained. Also, much respect is given to the quality of shows presented. The uncomfortableness is far outshined by the quality of the entertainment and the true theatrical experience.One other note: Eat before you go. The concessions are incredibly overpriced.

The Altria is beautiful but the ceiling is in need of repair. Employees were extremely helpful & friendly.

They need more volunteers to open the doors and help seat people. The seats are fairly low, so its hard to see past the head in front of you. As expected, the concessions are very pricey and you cant bring in any food or water of your own. The sound is great though, even though for our show the orchestra was backstage somewhere (they filled the orchestra with seats/chairs).

Our first time at the Altria Theater ... Absolutely loved it. What an amazing building and a very nice venue for all kinds of shows. I cant wait to see more shows there!

Hamilton was amazing and the theater was beautiful. Very pleasantly surprised.

Visited for the the Richmond Pops Christmas Concert. The show was great. I was disappointed to see such a beautiful venue begin to crumble. There was paint peeling in the ceiling in several places right in front of the stage. It is such a beautiful building and gorgeous mosaics in the walls and floors. I sure hope they begin to repair it soon.

We went to see Hamilton. It was the best musical I ever seen. He theatre was lovely. It was a mosque that has been converted. Seats were comfortable. The restrooms were clean. Duck Donuts are sold there.

Great views from most seats. Acoustics are good and seats are plush. A little tight when having to allow someone to pass you in aisle. Can be pricey depending upon show. Concessions are okay a bit higher than I expected.

It is lovely and very easy to get to. There is a very good parking lot next door, that takes less than 5 minutes to walk to you. My only complaint is that the Duck Donuts inside the theater does it have more options for flavors. Love that is no complaint about the theater itself. Also, the seating seems to be very good. It was hard to find a truly bad seed. I do wish it had a deeper incline so that you could more easily see over the heads of the people in front of you, but again, not a major problem.

Enjoyed a night of music recently at this venue. This place is absolutely gorgeous, but the staff add to the beauty. Everyone I encountered was professional, with an added touch of kindness. My husband and I had difficulty arranging our Lyft after the concert, and the staff encouraged us to wait inside until our vehicle was there to get us. The building was almost empty, and they didnt want us to go outside until they were sure we had transportation. You dont see this amount of caring in most public places. Thank you Altria Theatre! We will be back soon!

Great historic theater for plays and special events. But you dont want to sit in the balcony if youre taller than 5 feet. I swear the seating was made for children and will practically disable your ability to walk after more than an hour!

Nice venue. Great acoustics. Good visibility even from the upper level. Sitting in the third row of the upper level is poor at best when you consider leg room. My knees and my wifes knees were against the seat in front of us. Very uncomfortable.

Nice theater, old school feel, clean. Decent liquor at the bar/concession stand, not sure about the snacks, popcorn and candy, duck donuts ( I think). Comfortable enough seating although small and a little cramped. Seating is due for an update. Large stage, well situated for viewing. Overall pleasant experience

The Altria Theater is lovely and it gets great concerts and events to downtown Richmond like the Broadway shows and Harry Potter or Stars Wars in Concert. Many great artists stop by for concerts too. It would be great if the concessions were a bit cheaper and if there were more concession stands (the lines are horrific).

Nice venue not super big so even the far seats had a decent view. Daughter loved the Wild Kratts show! Very happy.

The show (Hamilton Tour) was absolutely incredible, the lights and set were amazing and the volunteers were kind and helpful. The theater itself is beautiful. However, if youre over 58 or slightly wider than a small person prepare for a very uncomfortable seat. As a stocky six footer, there was literally no way for me to sit even semi normally in the seat.

Pretty efficient for a large theater and it’s just gorgeous. Large bathrooms with lots of stalls. Parking is still terrible. There is a parking garage across the street but traffic backs up for half a mile and getting out of there takes forever. Bring cash for parking.

Beautiful old theater! Check out the gorgeous domes interior! Saw Frankie Vallie and the Four Seasons there for an amazing evening!

The concert was amazing. The Altria Theatre was gorgeous. Cant wait to go back....

What can you say bad about the Altria (except the seats are too cramped)? The Moorish-deco craftsmanship is insanely cool. This place makes anything you see a delight to attend. If it is a theatrical production or a concert or something smaller, the view & sound is remarkably pleasing. Even up in nosebleed seats.

WThis is a classic must see for anyone visiting Richmond. For those of use who live in the RVA community, this is a culture center for arts and community events. Our most recent visit was for Richmond Times Dispatch top businesses of 2018. Great experience!

Old, beautifully restored theater. No long waiting in line. Time. From parking garage to Will Call pick up to entry less than 25 minutes. Ushers professional, friendly, seated us quickly. Show was awesome.

They had champagne and liquor options for Paw Patrol Live. I did not partake, but it was shockingly hilarious. Great theatre, plenty of space, organized seating.... bring your own snacks if you can ;) prices are just like movie theaters

Beautiful theater, the volunteers there were helpful. I like there are multiple bathrooms and concessions options. We enjoyed the performance. If you are a long legged person you might be a bit cramped by the seating but overall its a great experience!

Beautiful venue, incredible staff, convenient access. Saw Hozier concert 2019. There were staff located at every door and stairwell and they all asked, unprompted, if they could help us. Guided by about 10 people on the way to our seats, and again when we moved to better seats. Felt like VIP. Acoustics were great. Wine pours were generous. Parked across the street and were in and out of the venue in 5 minutes.

We had a wonderful experience seeing Les Mis

Unfortunately I didnt go in ... I drove my sister to see a play and came back to pick her up .... but she enjoyed herself so I guess I will pass it along

What a beautiful, majestic theater -- ambiance and all, including a terrific orchestra pit and sound system. We have seen several productions at the Altria -- most recently, Charlie and Chocolate Factory, The Play That Goes Wrong, and Hamilton -- and every production was wonderfully entertaining and very well executed. The audience is half the fun! If you park in the garage across from the theater, it could take about 30 minutes to exit if youre on the 3rd or 4th tier.

Beautiful venue, well run with friendly staff. Clean bathrooms and large parking garage right next door.

Enjoyed the pj mask show with my little person

A beautiful theater. Terrific renovation. Comfortable seats, great friendly staff. On occasion, can get a bit chilly, but thats good for the hard working actors I assume!

Absolutely beautiful venue. The acoustics are so rich. Friendly staff and comfortable seats.

First time visiting the Altria to see Hamilton and we were pretty pleased with the venue. We sat in the front row of the Grand Tier in Section I and had a fair amount of legroom. Those tickets were obstructed view but we could see 95% of the stage. I didnt find a lot of reviews on seats when trying to pick so Ill share my two cents. Im 61 and was a little uncomfortable with the leg room in the Grand Tier, but to save some money I would definitely choose there again. The Balcony seats appear to be very tight. There were quite a lot of obstructed view seats available when I was hunting for tickets, which is due to the fact that the theater is not pitched very steep, so if youre deep in a section there will likely be a few heads that get in your way. Overall for the savings I would elect for the Grand Tier again if the Orchestra level was not feasible for me.The bathrooms were clean and large enough to handle the big crowds during intermission. The concession prices are crazy high but that wasnt really surprising. We look forward to going back.

Beautiful, historic theater! They dont make them like this anymore! Just saw Hamilton there. The musical was fantastic, and the interior of the theater is gorgeous, take it all in, there are hidden gems everywhere.

Beautiful on the outside and in, but sometimes the sound quality is hit or miss. The seats are as good as youre going to get for an older theatre in Richmond. Ultimately a good theatre overall.

Its a beautiful space. We get seasons tickets because we love seeing the shows and it makes for a great date night, but Ive noticed that with pretty much every show during big numbers, the band plays over the vocals and makes them difficult to understand. The conductor either needs to be told to hold it back a touch or something.

This place was nice! Very spacious and clean. It is well cared for. The concert was great!

Beautiful old theater. Great place to see a show. The seats in the highest balcony are a little tight but otherwise, I strongly recommend!

Beautiful theater. Not a bad seat in the house. And we had no problems parking on a busy night.

Very nice! Clean, well lit, and friendly staff!! Tim Allen was hilarious!!

Such a beautiful theater with good sight lines. Its a hike up to the balcony, but there are bars and restrooms on the upper levels.Parking is convenient, but navigating the neighborhood is tricky if you dont know the area or arent using GPS.Attached photo is from the balcony, section H.

Nice, comfortable theater. Wine, beer, and typical snack offerings with plenty of areas to purchase. Giving 4 starts because of restrooms. There is only a single stall on ground level. You have to go up a level for the restroom and it gets congested. Would also be nice if there were restaurant options nearby so you could park, eat, and go to a show. But that is not the theaters fault.

Great theater. Had rear seating on the back of the first floor and still could see the stage perfectly. Staff were kind and welcoming.

Always a great venue for a play or concert. The ceilings and finishes are wonderfully old school but the experience is not. Always enjoy a night out here.

Beautiful old theatre. Hamilton drew a full house. Acoustics were good, you could hear the voices from the stage from balcony. Getting out from parking garage was usual chaos.

Great view of the stage and the ushers are so nice

The best live music venue in Richmond. Its tight and cozy but a great place to watch a band. Acoustics are excellent and theres really not a bad seat in the house. Convenient parking right across the street. The staff/ushers are well organized and very helpful. The good restrooms are hidden downstairs in the basement and you have to search them out. Concessions are ridiculously expensive, so I recommend skipping them and just enjoying the show.

Parking is literally across the street. The venue was very nice. Easy to get to and tons of food choices near by.

Beautiful theater, fantastic shows. HORRIFIC SEATING!! How am I the only person complaining about how cramped it is!?!? I am 5’11”, I could not sit like a human being. I had to lean my legs to the left because they wouldn’t fit between my seat and the back of the seat in front of me!!! I’m guessing all the seats except maybe Orchestra are like this. I’ve been hear twice and both times have been in pain from not being able to sit properly. PLEASE, for the love of God, take a row of seats out and readjust this place. My wife and I were completely miserable.My other complaint is tickets! How is it that as soon as tickets go on sale, you can’t by front row or anywhere in orchestra for less than 160$!!!!??? You are forced to by good tickets on Stub Hub!!! Who is buying the tickets and reselling then before they go on sale???

We had a fantastic time seeing Peppa Pig live at the show!! The best place to sit for your money is the second level first row because then you can see everything in an unobstructed view. we sat on that level but more in the middle and were not able to see due to people being in front of us but I think that first row is the best. not sure about the top row I think that may be too far away to see the action on the stage

I loved it. The building itself was very spacious, seating was very confortable and to top it off I ENJOYED CATS.. Very satisfied.

The seating is awful. You have to be a petite short person to sit in those seats. Although I did enjoyed the show which took my mind off off the seats.

Beautiful theater, not a bad seat in the house and staff was accomidating and friendly. Would have been 5 stars, but the no reentry is not good for people that smoke.

Lovely theatre with some truly excellent shows. The chairs are pretty narrow, however, and packed pretty tight. Not the most comfortable way to watch! But hey, Duck Donuts are here now!

Beautiful venue with extremely helpful staff and very accommodating facilities. I had a fantastic time viewing Hamilton here! Keep up the good work!

My favorite venue in the city! The decor is amazing and I dont think theres a bad seat in the house. Except for the leg room definitely leaves something to be desired.. Ive seen Broadway shows and concerts here and have enjoyed all of them. Its amazing the caliber of shows that are brought into Richmond.

Great venue and attractions. Seats in the upper balconies are a little tight. At 63 I did not fit in most seats and had to find on open isle seat or a seat that was oriented correctly with the one in front so I could move my knees into the gaps.

Im a tall person, 511. The seats are made for short people with short legs. The sound was better in the lobby and restrooms than it was from my balcony seats.If I were to go to this theater again, I would get floor seats, they looked like they had more space.

My sister and I visited the Altria Theater for the first time this month to see Harry Potter in Concert with the Richmond Symphony. I must say, I was impressed with the people, staff, and atmosphere of the environment. They definitely did a great job with the renovations of the theater. It looks beautiful and it is clean. I will definitely be visiting again. A lot of great memories were made that day! Thank you Altria! GREAT experience!

The place is astonishing. The ceiling has pictures painted on it. Its beautiful.

Extremely well prepared, clean, and beautiful venue. Very helpful and nice event staff. Convenient parking next door. My only complaint is the legroom. Felt like I was on a small airplane the whole time, and Im not a tall dude.

Great venue. We sat in balcony and had a great view, excellent acoustics. Seats are a little small

Cool Venue...I attended the 2018 Firefighters Graduation. It was intimit, but the sound system was horrible, we had to strain to hear the Benediction. I blame the BILLION DOLLAR Altria Corp; they should get some professional Bose system in there.Other than that the basement at the Altria Theatre is very nice, majestic, and comfortable secondary event space.We are very honored to know PfD G.Ivory.

Really enjoyed the play. The staff was nice. Only thing I wish is they make ladys restrooms much bigger. We had too long lines at all of them

Went to see Hamilton it was a great experience and show. Place is well kept. Only issue is the snacks and drinks are very expensive for what you get

We visited Altria Theater recently and thoroughly enjoyed the musical Cats. Staff was very accommodating, the atmosphere was very comfortable and there wasnt a bad seat anywhere in the place.

So Beautiful and great seating. Never missed a thing on stage. Comfortable for all shapes and sizes.

Beautiful theater with great views and great acoustics. I saw Alice in Chains and Bill Burr there and was blown away by both. AIC sounded incredible. The sound in the theater was very good. No reverb or muffled singing. Bill Burr actually said on his podcast that the Altria was one of the top 5 best places hes worked in America. Thats a huge compliment! Hes played almost every major city in the US too. Pretty cool for him to say that. At the show he was saying how it looked like God was going to descend down through the center of the ceiling where that ring of blue lights is. If you ever get a chance to go to the Altria for anything, do yourself a favor and go!

The theater is really nice. If you are short the seats still arent the best to sit toward the back on the grand tier. They also ran out of certain snacks during the show. This was my 3rd visit and will return.

Had a excellent time at the theater. Went to see Franki Valli.HD seats in balcony and could see very good..

Cats was still fab after all these years. Orchestra pit seats were good and the Hilton was so comfy...we will be back altria theater!

A beautiful old building from my past, remodel and truly a work of art now!!!! Saw Cats that was awsome

Beautiful theater. The architecture is just lovely. No such thing as a bad seat here!Staff was quite accommodating, as well. The seating is quite small and cramped (Im 5 and 110lb). This was quite uncomfortable for the full row of adults that attended.

This is a very cool, historic place. Seating is comfortable with good views of the stage. Although concessions were not open when we were there, they were well placed throughout the theater.

I have been attending this venue since 1956 when I was but 3 years old. I am now 66 years young. Sixty-three years have taught me that there are fewer venues that allow for impeccable acoustics. I think that huge arenas are architectural blunders that are erected without even considering quality of sound.I thank The Altria Theater for maintaining an exquite theater while keeping the grandeur of an intimate experience.I look forward to attending The Altria Theater for another sixty-years.

Beautiful old theater. Recently renovated. We have season tickets for Broadway in Richmond. There is a parking garage next door and The Jefferson hotel is just a 5 minute walk away if you like drinks before or after a show. Its always a lovely way to spend an evening.

Comfy seats and great view of the performance anywhere! I also really appreciate the text marquis...super easy to follow.

So beautiful. We saw the Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban in Concert show and it was incredible. Concessions are, of course, over priced.
