STOMP! THIS WAS AWESOME AND THERE IS NEVER A BAD SEAT AT THE THEATER.

This is an old but lovely, recently-renovated theater. Ive been here 5 times for various concerts and theres not a bad seat in the place. However, the balcony seats are pretty tight leg-room wise. Im 56 and my knees were almost touching the seat in front of me. Best seats (room-wise) are in the orchestra, to the left or right of the main aisles that define the middle orchestra seats. The acoustics are good, parking is ample and somewhat easy and Ive always had excellent service from the ushers. Theres a decent selection of eateries around the theater also, so we generally get there early and walk a few blocks to a restaurant. If you havent been yet, try it out! Have fun

What a lovely old theater! Beautifully restored with an exceptional lineup during their entire season.My only advice is get seats on the main floor if youre tall. They have the original seats in the balcony, fully restored. Theyre beautiful, but a little tight for long legged folks.

Love! Love! Love! Classic older venue with great seating. Worth the trip from far away, if necessary. And considering its relatively small size, they get some really big names!

This theater is beautiful and hosts amazing headliners. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars for me is the seats. They are old style and VERY narrow. My husband and the gentleman next to me both have broad shoulders and I literally spent the show with my body shifted to the side and my arms held in. We had front row seats and I didnt feel like I enjoyed them because we were so crammed in.

Review №33

Show was excellent, not a bad place to sit in the house. The only reason 4 stars instead of 5 is because as an older theater the seats are a bit cramped. Seats were very tight, which was not only uncomfortable near the end of the show but made it extra difficult as others made trips to the in house bar. I will return, but only if I can choose my seats a bit differently.

Amazing theater. I love every event put on here, from free movie nights to election results viewing parties to talks from New York Times writers to concerts and plays. Went to see a performance of A Christmas Carol in the Brick Box and that was also spectacular! 100000 stars.

The Paramount Theatre offers numerous high quality and engaging performances. The theatre has amazing acoustics, friendly and welcoming staff and delicious Vermont craft beer and hard cider. We live an hour away and we gladly make the drive; its totally worth it! An evening to a Paramount performance is certainly a special and memorable night out. Enjoy!

If you are taller than average you might want to pass on this venue. I’m 6-2 and spent 2 very uncomfortable hours in a balcony seat last night. It felt like a parent teacher conference when my kid was in 1st grade. My wife is 5-5 and even she struggled to get comfortable. Won’t be returning unless they can offer alternative seating for normal sized humans.
