This is a great venue for top rated acts. We saw Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell, great seats were available at the last minute.
As my wife and I walked from Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream Parlor, on Main Street, Huntington, to The Paramount, on New York Ave, a spooky thing happened to me. I could not find the tickets for the John Edward Event at The Paramount! My wife broke down and cried at me: "How could you once again forget something so important! Like leaving the passport at home right before flying off on this trip to America!" Once again I was being haunted by the spirit of forgetfulness.I told her, don't worry because we paid too much money for the tickets, and the guys at The Paramount will help us in any way that they could. She was angry at me and said "Let's forget about this. Let us return to Brooklyn at once and put me on the next plane back to Tel Aviv!" By the time she finished her scolding, we arrived at The Paramount and a doorman at The Paramount greeted us and ushered us to the box office window upon hearing of my mistake. At the ticket window, a representative of Ticketmaster asked me for the credit card in which I used to purchase the tickets, and Voila! we had the tickets. My wife was assuaged somewhat by The Paramount's and Ticketmaster's service in rescuing our visit to Huntington, but she was still mad at me for causing her the grief.We were ushered to our seats. We were well on time. We sat mesmerized by what was to come: John Edward quickly walking from backstage to fore-stage. While he mesmerized the audience with his spellbinding language of love I could not help but to wonder how the lighting guys at The Paramount managed to create a halo that seemed to follow Mr. Edward. I took off my glasses to make sure that the halo effect was not some trick of my eyeglasses. Yet there was a blurry Mr. Edward and his halo! This got to be part of Mr. Edward's act I thought because no one can see a halo. Then I noticed two big men, standing above either side of the stage in the balcony section, studying the audience intently for possible trouble. Obviously, these men were plainclothes Paramount security men. No matter how enchanted and how engaged the audience was with Mr. Edward's energetic marathon of an interactive engagement with the audience, these security men did not once "blink". They studied and studied the audience until a Paramount announcer announced, "Mr. Edward, the time is up. Thank you." With that, Mr. Edward bid us all to tell our companion (at the event) “I love you” and he bade the audience a good night. With that he trotted backstage into the darkness too much applause from a well pleased audience.At the end of the event, my wife and I made it to The Paramount's restrooms. They were quaint, and clean, given the large house to came to see Mr. Edward.The hour was late, and we had to get back to Brooklyn aboard the Long Island Rail Road. Outside The Paramount, we hailed a taxicab. The driver asked us, "So you saw John Edward at The Paramount? …. Let me tell you that Huntington has a haunted road ...."
If you are local or a regular concert goer I would suggest becoming a VIPmember. I attend shows and events at least one every other month. It is a wonderful venue with a wonderful staff. The VIP manager Moraz is a delight. She goes above and beyond in terms of serviceAlso if you're in a VIP section o hope you get a chance to meet server Lauren. Like Moraz; Lauren is a gem. Thanks paramount
Great venue for concerts. Have sat in the back of the balcony and the sound was good. Several bars in the building. Huntington has great restaurants. Parking can be a pain.
We have seen several headliners at the Paramount and have worked back stage with Mrs Joan Rivers during her live performance, but our favorite visits to the Paramount have been for Private events. We produced and photographed an editorial cover and section for 2 local magazines using the Paramount as the location and the experience was Wonderful!
Small venue for a concert floor seating was tight and somewhat uncomfortable- the balcony and side balcony seats looked nice. Sound was very good. $12.00 for a draft beer and $5.00 for a 16 oz bottle of water. RIPOFF
Concert was good. Likes the venue. Sound was pretty good for the most part. Drinks were a little expensive but that is expected for a venue near the city.
We have been here several times, it's a small venue - not a bad seat in the house. Good sound, good bands. We love the Paramount. Clean bathrooms with an attendant on duty.
Let me say this. They have excellent acts and very convenient in the Town of Huntington. I have Been there a few times. Just recently had standing room tickets as all sit down seats were sold out. Standing is not great especially at 67.50 ticket. As it is hard to concentrate on the music wih all the drunk people talking and moving around. If it was a full sit down concert venue. It would be a great place to see a showOh yes. Beers are 12.00. Even more than Yankee stadium
Went last night, stand-up comedy 2/14/2015. I order 2 draft beers and the bartender says "$24". Really? I will never go back to a place that milks their customers like suckers.Otherwise, I enjoyed the steel and brick interior. The folding seats are uncomfortable but can be moved to suit your space need.If you disregard and go anyway, better allow a minimum of 30 minutes to search for parking..
