If youre tall, good luck, the leg room is absurd. Im 6-5" and was extremely uncomfortable. I luckily had an aisle seat so I could sort of sit sideways, but still, I had to stand up 3 or 4 times during the show to let blood flow back into my left leg. I couldnt imagine the agony that would be a center seat for someone my height. I was in the balcony, Im not sure if theres better seating elsewhere. I saw another show coming to the area that I was interested in seeing and now that Im hearing its at this theater I may have to skip out on this one. Its that bad.

Very nice theatre with plenty of parking close by. If you are planning to see a popular show you might want to try arriving at least 45 minutes early. We experienced a long line of traffic trying to park (which moved at a decent pace) and a long line of people out the front door that forced us to wait outside for about 20 minutes as they funneled everyone through three metal detectors. Once inside we were able to move quickly to our seats. At the time of our visit, bathrooms were limited which upset a lot of people.

Incredible venue. Easily the most beautiful building in the town of Hershey. I have seen several shows here, and have never been disappointed. Parking is easy and fast. The theater itself is gorgeous. The acoustics on the balcony (where I typically sit) are excellent. I have seen several rock bands, the local orchestra (phenomenal by the way, definitely worth enjoying), and even a midnight screening of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Every time I have had a wonderful experience.

Nice little theatre! The house is pretty small and the parking is very convenient. The tickets I have purchased in the past have been priced reasonably low, compared to other area theatres. I only wish that they would install additional speakers in the balcony, as both times I have attended shows there, the music and especially the dialog was not as loud as I would have preferred, making it difficult to hear the actors at times.

Saw Chris Hardwick here when he kicked off his ID10T tour. The place is beautiful on the inside with its architecture and design. Did not feel like I was sitting in a theater in the middle of Hershey. Prices on food and drink were what I was expecting to pay. The bonus was free parking, hopefully thats an all the time deal and not just this once.

Just gorgeous inside. The ceilings and stone work are really breathtaking. Seats are snug. Im 5 7" and bumped my knees a few times. I wish theyd opened the second bar upstairs during intermission, because the line downstairs was incredibly long. There was no way to serve everyone before the second act started and it was rather disappointing.

First time here and it was great! We went to see the Book of Mormon and the venue is clean and well lit. My only complaint is that the seats do not bode well for those that have longer legs. My suggestion would be that if you are taller, get an end seat so you can stretch a little into the aisle. I would definitely go back again!

Why is Hershey Theatre making their patrons pay an extra $3 for a plastic lid for 4-5 oz of vino. Please explain. I was outraged... my choice at the time was miss the intro act....gulp down my wine or pay the cost for a total of $10 I understand the reason for a lid ...but $3!!!!. Nothing sweet about that deal.

Awesome venue. Very quaint.. and small enough that there are NO bad seats in the entire place. Great ambiance. Gorgeously appointed motif.. just beautiful. They get a huge variety of off-broadway shows... the talent is amazing. Parking is great.. no lack of available convenient spaces.

The theater sounds fantastic. I had seen Dream Theater, and although I was right beside the stage by the speakers, I could still hear the bass, drums, and keyboard. It was sometimes difficult to pick out the vocals, though, because of where I was sitting. (Fourth row house right)

Was a great venue but very disappointed in the lobby space before show. Was extremely hot as well as having the souviner and bar stands in same space in the entry space to the theatre that was over crowded. Otherwise, the experience was wonderful!

Bryce Griffler

Parking is right across the street, and free. Main lobby bathrooms were out of order for this performance. :- Hence 4 stars. But theatre is beautiful. A few restaurants nearby but theyre always packed whenever we go for a show.

We saw "Weird Al" Yankovic at the beautiful Hershey Theatre. It has the class and charm of the theaters of yesteryear, and has been very well maintained. Parking for our show was free, which was a nice surprise.

Went to see Motown it was a great show, I have been to the Hershey Theatre about 4 times. I am Disabled and every time I go there the staff goes beyond to help the Handicap and the elderly.

Mel Rowe

Went to purchase tickets ..both lines were very very long since most were getting tickets for multiple events...we waited 1/2 hour and left. There were 8 in line when we keft.

Great place to go with a significant other. Great actors. Helpful and enthusiastic staff. Clean and orderly. I had many great experiences coming here. Always lovely and enjoyable.

Sharon Kaminsky

Beautiful and elegant historic theatre, but equipped with all the lights, sound and security of a modern facility. Parking is plentiful but accessed more easily from the west.

Kathy PROSSER

Always a great experience. Not thrilled that they run us through like an airport and do not understand the need for that security. Bur the plays are generally wonderful.

Eric Shoup

Beautiful theater with not one bad seat in the entire place. Went there for the first time to see the musical Book of Mormon and loved both the show and the venue.

William Marshall

Awsome 100% Victorian layout in entire theatre. Reasonable prices on soda and alcohol. Friendly laid back atmosphere. Definitely will be coming back again.

Steven Golle

Beautiful Theater with a rich history. Had a great view of the stage during Book of Mormon. Chairs need just a little more cushioning added back.

The Hershey theatre is like no other. Built by Milton Hershey, this theatre withholds a high standard compared to any other local theatres around.

Edward Zaleski

Beautiful theatre, ample parking nearby. My one big complaint is that the leg room is no existent. My knees were hitting the seats in front of me

Mike Hupka

Easy parking. Easy. Love that. The building is beautiful but they need to work out a better bathroom solution for the main lobby area.

Andrew Martin

Nice place, easy to get to and nearly every seat is a decent seat. Not too large, but big enough. The seating is a bit tight though.

Rebecca Harr

Stunning architecture and a lot of history. Seats are a bit small and close together but I would see another show there for sure
