We were excited about seeing the Phantom of the Opera. The theater was beautiful inside, however, when the Opera started we could NOT hear the actors on stage when they were talking. When they sang we could hear them but not understand what they were singing. It ruined the opera for us. We had been looking forward to seeing the Phantom for months, and it was a complete waste of money. Do NOT go the Saenger.
The saenger is soooo beautiful and listening to a concert there is wonderful. It's so intimate. Not a bad seat in the house.
Went to see Frankie Valli. The renovation covered every detail and the acoustics are great. Staff kept things organized as well.
This was my first time back in the Saenger Theatre since it's renovations. Everything was perfect. We attended Phantom of the Opera. Our seats were great, service great, stage settings were wonderful. I only wish the sound when the actors spoke would have been better. When they sang, it was very good.
The last day in New Orleans, we saw "Mamma Mia" here. Mamma Mia is a great fun show, this was the third time I see it! And the theater is absolutely stunning with chandeliers, color painted ceiling, statues and all the details. We were both enjoying the show and the building itself very much! I have to point out one thing, the lady's room here is the best!I've been to theaters all over the world. None of the theater has more lady's restrooms than the Saenger. Plus, there was one staff/lady in the middle of the busy rooms, directing us "there is one space here, there are two open there......", the line moves so fast! I have never seen anything like that either, and it's wonderful!!
We saw Phantom of the Opera at this theater and it was wonderful. The theater is absolutely beautiful inside! If you sit in the balcony, prepare to wait in a long line for bathrooms at intermission.
returned in Nov. after about 20 years and 2 remodels; however, the Sanger is an amazing place to see a show. Clean, beautifully decorated, filled with history and all of the seats are good. Located in downtown New Orleans, if you have the chance GO..
This was such an awesome show...I am a child of the 70's and I couldn't help myself to sing along and even dance a little!! This theatre is AMAZING!!! Seats were comfortable and didn't feel real crowded!!!
My partner and I went to a Melissa Etherdige concert here, and I can truly say, this theater is breathtaking- from the Architect- you will Loose yourself in the ceiling- the Saenger team members are amazingly warm and helpful- Melissa put on a fantastic show- throughly enjoyed the diversity of people. This theater is a must visit.
The newly renovated Saenger is better than ever. We have been to various Theatre venues all over the world and I would put the Saenger in the top 10!
