What can be said they have great entertainment, beautiful facility and a large variety of performances. They want more information but this sums it up
The Paramount is a lovely theatre with reasonable prices. The lineup has improved greatly over the last few years. The seats are comfortable. There is a bathroom close by, though the lines can be long during a big show. There really isn't a bad seat in the theatre--even in the balcony. A great theatre in Rutland!
The Paramount has an attractive auditorium and is likely to keep people coming downtown for reasonably priced live theater. Perhaps it was an off day, but the condition of the men's toilets was unconscionably unhygienic. I can only think (or hope) that maintenance personnel were sick the day of my visit, and no one thought to check out the bathrooms. Toilet seat covers would have helped. I agree that there are good sight lines from all of the seats. However, it should be noted that the seats are narrow. While recognizing that the number of seats impacts revenues, it is a shame that some consideration wasn't given to the growing heft of audiences.
This is a beautiful old building that has been redone in lovely gold guild and pink colorful walls. Since it is an old building, there is no elevator to a second floor balcony ( actually 2 flights of quite steep stairs ) and at least in the balcony the seats don't allow for much leg room. Easy parking in a parking garage very handy.
Good selection of performances, tickets are reasonably priced (especially compared to Broadway). Downside is slightly small number of restroom facilities for women. The line gets a bit long, so don't delay at intermission.
We went to our second show at the Paramount. The restored theatre is beautiful and I don't think there are any bad seats. We saw "Bill Engvall" and his show was fantastic.We will sure visit the Paramount again.
The Paramount Theater in Rutland is hardly what you would expect in a small Vermont city. A theater restored to its former glory, the Paramount features artists, orchestras, Broadway shows, symphony orchestras, comedians, and the like for the benefit and entertainment of southern Vermont. But, in addition to this cultural oasis, it also manages to broadcast wide screen sporting and pop cultural events - and offer opera directly from the Metropolitan Opera in New York. It is a treasure that will satisfy everyones taste.
We traveled up from Brattleboro to catch Ziggy Marley. It was my first time at the Paramount and I really enjoyed it. We parked across the street in the big plaza parking lot. It's a great place to walk around downtown. The theater itself was beautiful and while we had seats up high in the balcony, the view of the stage was great! Would definitely come back up for another show.
This old theater features quite a variety of productions...from celebrities to local theater groups. The building has an older era charm (although the seating is not so comfortable if you are there for a long time without a break!). Lobby can get QUITE congested if it's raining outside and they have not yet opened the theater doors, and the restrooms could really use a do-over. However, the facility has a small city-town charm reminiscent of an older era.
