    Beautiful theatre with friendly staff and comfortable seats. We drove in from Houston to see Hell's Kitchen, and it was worth the drive to see this beautiful theatre. The drinks are expensive, but so is the whole city, so I won't hold that against them.

    One of the most beautiful theaters I've ever been to outside of some in Europe. Bathrooms were a bit difficult to get to but there isn't a bad seat in the house.

    The seats are comfortable and larger than other theatres. The ornate, Italian, Baroque decor is beautiful. We were in the 3rd row balcony and had great sound and views of the musicians.

    This is in NOLA and I seen Back to the Future on Dec 6, 2025. It's an old stately theatre. These old theaters really are a national treasure. They make the Broadway more grand and make the guest feel grandeur.

    We visited the Saenger Theatre on Canal Street to see Back to the Future. We had suite tickets, which included food before the show, but it wasn’t very exciting. The pre-show options were gumbo with rice, a stuffed crab empanada, and artichoke dip served with chips. During intermission, dessert was a simple choice between a cookie or a brownie. While the food was underwhelming, the suite seating made up for it. We were in the second row of the balcony with a clear view of the stage, comfortable seats, and good acoustics. Overall, the seating and location were the highlight and helped offset the disappointing food.
