We went to the Alex Theatre to see my nephew perform in the orcehstra for the David Arkenstone's Symphonic Adventure on March 16th. I loved the feel of the theatre. It was nice, clean and beautifully decorated. It is a small venue, but we didn't feel cramped. We had seats about 15 rows up from the stage, and could see the everything wonderfully. The employees were very helpful with seating, and making sure that we all had our parking validations when leaving. There is a small stand out front with a few drink options - water, soda, beer and wine; and some treats, and not overly priced! I will definitely keep an eye on their upcoming performances to go to the theatre again.
Our dance group had a tour of the Alex which included a history of the theater and visits to areas behind and under the auditorium. The tour leader was very good at describing the efforts to save and renovate this important Glendale landmark.
I go to the Alex Theatre with a friend who has a membership; we go for the older movies. Seeing Dr. Strangelove tonight. It's a great, old theater, and I enjoy watching older movies there.
Really fun architecture, sort of Roman-Greek, somethingerother. Lots of gold. We went there for an Arturo Sandoval concert, and although we were in the nosebleed seats, we had no trouble seeing the stage, and the acoustics were great. Comfy, albeit a little snug, seating. And fun, fun, atmosphere.
Awesome venue especially when from the street it doesn't look like much. Staff was very nice and the building well kept.
The entire house has pretty good seating / viewing of the stage, but that is expected at a small to medium sized venue. What was disappointing was the sound. I went there with a friend to see Swan Lake, and being fond of Tchaikovsky, I was thrilled to go, even if we were in the nosebleeds. However, throughout the performance, I just wish they had passed out headphones. Perhaps my standards are too high from recently going to the Pasadena symphony . . .
Lots of local eateries around. Remodeled years ago to bring back the good old times...Parking is difficult
Wife and I took our kids to see Nutcracker performed by the L.A. Ballet. I used to go to the Alex in the 70's to watch movies. The old place is still just as wonderful as it was then! Clean, friendly staff and great seats.
Lovely theater. It made me feel nostalgic even though I'm not old enough to have attended the theater in its glory days. I saw To Kill a Mockingbird here, and the crowd simply added to the classy ambiance of the place.
Loved the well maintained Retro theatre. The lobby walls display posters and pictures from chic days gone by. Seats were comfortable, there really wasn't a bad seat for viewing the production. We thoroughly enjoyed the CS Leis play "The Great Divorce"
