Great venue. Good view from our balcony seats.

Place was beautiful and the show was great. They ran out of water at the concession stand which was super disappointing. They had zero bottles of water. The seats were not comfortable at all but not a huge deal for a short show. The new gender neutral bathroom signs on all the bathrooms had everyone very confused. Elderly people were lost and it was chaos at the restrooms.

Great restored theater for many art performances by Emerson College.

We had an awesome time seeing Hamilton last yr in January 2023. Great show. The Emerson Paramount Center is so Beautiful. It was our first time seeing a show here. Can't wait to go again.

Today was the first time I visited the Paramount center since its renovation/ reopening (a few years ago?).

The staff was very friendly, welcome, funny and engaging. The place is very beautiful and "artsy".

I went to watch a movie as part of a film festival, so I only saw the 4th floor with its movie theatre, but it was all modern, nice and clean. After the movie, a documentary called "Love Boat: Taiwan", the filmmaker was available for a Q&A.

I loved the experience.

This theater is beautifully decorated and well appointed. It seems like it has been fixed up recently: the seating is clean and comfortable and the bathrooms a large and modern.

Parking is not attached to the theater, but there is plenty of parking around, including under the Boston Common. It is a very quick walk from there to the theater.

The hall is cozy. It's hard to imagine that any seat would be considered "bad." The orchestra section has a steep rake, so you fan easy see over those in front of you.

The staff is friendly and flexible.

A great film series that highlights emerging female artists telling stories of the marginalized and underserved. Also saw the odd and inexplicable Hamnet. Gorgeous art deco restored old theatre. Quite a nice night! This film series is worthwhile and FREE!
