Wonderful and affordable theatre in downtown Lancaster. Fantastic shows. Ive been here with my family for The Wizard of Oz, Elf, Beauty and the Beast (by far my favorite) and my wife and I came alone to see Footloose. These were ALL fantastic performances, great scenery, flawless acting and wonderful sound. I recommend avoiding the third floor if you have children. And if you have small children get here early enough to borrow a booster seat otherwise they may NOT be able to see anything. When you order tickets, beware when it says obstructed view. They really mean it, and kids may have a very hard time seeing. The photo is from the end seats of row B in the mezzanine.

We are season ticket holders and absolutely love the Fulton. All of the productions are wonderful with professional casts. We also enjoy Broadway and theatre in Philly, and they are no better than the productions we have seen at the Fulton Opera House. The facility is beautiful, just what a "theatre" should be, beautiful carved ceilings, crystal chandeliers, balconies, comfortable seating, etc. The acoustics are top notch. We highly recommend the Fulton to anyone who enjoys live theater!! You wont be disappointed!

Fantastic venue/customer service! My wife and I went to a production of the Addams Family a couple years ago. I bought tickets on the balcony, which didnt bother me. My wife, however, instantly got nauseous. We went to find the Manager, as we wanted better seating and we were prepared to pay for the difference. The manager graciously gave us ground floor seating free of charge. That truly made for a wonderful experience and the next time we are in Lancaster, we will be going to the Fulton again.

Under the leadership of Mark Robbins the countrys longest, continuously running theater has taken on challenging stage productions and consistently hit the ball out of the park! It isnt easy pleasing Lancasters diverse audience of urban transplants, young families, retired folks and tourists but the Fultons programs manage to delight an ever-growing audience with many shows extending their initial run due to overwhelming demand.

Love coming every time for the shows and the experience. Since moving into the city, my wife and I try to get out for at least 2 shows during the season. Its so nice having a theater so close for those who dont want to NYC and deal with traffic and everything else about the Big City. The Fulton still provides high-quality entertainment for affordable prices.

Lost a star because some of the shows for the 2011-2012 season are unimpressive (we passed on season tickets after three years straight). But the production values are always top-notch, the costumes always great, the sets always fantastic, the actors always superb. And the theatre itself is a trip back to a nicer time.

The plays/musicals are wonderful. They always procure such great talent. I cannot say enough about the Fulton. The interior is lovely. The admission ticket people are great. I called a day before to see if I could get different seats. They were very accommodating. Great job, all around Fulton!!!

Awesome theatre! Like going back in time. Very reasonable tickets and I dont think theres a bad seat in the house. Theres snacks available and for the adults; drinks. Wife and I just enjoyed what will hopefully be our first show of many; Patsy Cline. Great show received standing ovation.

Just saw the Wizard of Oz, after 3 hours, I was very pleased. The show was excellent! Included acrobatics, songs, live orchestra and filled with great actors! Highly recommend for couples, families and children of all ages! It was a great time and experience!

This theater is GORGEOUS! Really, really beautiful detailed work on the physical building itself. The stage is nice and large, the crew and stage people made gorgeous and innovative set designs, the show we saw was fantastic. I look forward to going back!

Okay so i got free tickets from the library, lucky enough the symphony orchestra was on the same day. My husband and I had a date night. Oh what a beautiful theater. Performance was phenomenal. Service was great. I was surrounded by wonderful people.

The Fulton is a beautiful old theater with plenty of inexpensive parking available. The performances are top notch! We have seen several productions for adults and kids, and are always impressed. There are tons of great restaurants nearby as well.

Beautiful theater with fabulous productions. In general the staff is very friendly but we always seem to encounter at least one pretentious and condescending usher who makes a rude or sarcastic remark.

Kristin Crowley

Wonderful production of Disneys Beauty and the Beast. Beautiful set, costimes and strong cast. Truly a top notch regional theatre with Broadway quality work all in a beautifully maintained theatre.

First time going. I wore an everyday t-shirt and was under dressed. And this was for a Sunday matinee. Production quality was impressive, very enjoyable. Kids were in tow w out any problems.

We absolutely love the Fulton. The theatre is gorgeous and has been lovingly restored and is well maintained. Top notch productions bringing national and local talent together on the stage.

I took my Disney obsessed 4 year old son to see Beauty and the beast. Im speechless. It was AMAZING. Everyone who works there is so nice. We had a wonderful time. Cant wait to see Newsies!!

Claraann Schultz

Productions at the Fulton never disappoint!! Tonights production of Newsies was full of great choreography, beautiful voices, wonderful acting and lots of energy! Great job!!

Historical theatre with great productions, I also worked for them as their graphic designer for almost 2 years and got to know the organization on a whole well.

Ive never seen a bad show at the Fulton! I just wish their ticket prices were a little lower so we could afford to go more often than a couple times per year.

Tim Hoover

Great local theater that is the perfect spot for a good date night. Saw Beauty and the beast and it was epic. Love the atmosphere and history of this place.

John Miller

Jayme Schafer

Never a disappointment! Beautiful theatre, talented performances, in a Great little city. One of my favorite cities for dinner and a show.

Judith Morris Rider

Ushering for the Fulton provides me the opportunity to help others and one of the excellent benefits is getting to see the plays for free.

Luke Grover

Extremely talented performers. Quality can vary depending on the show/your interest in the show. However, you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful building, New York worthy shows! Every seat is a winner but we love the third balcony, the sight lines are incredible.

Steve Barrall

A great, historic venue in downtown Lancaster featuring live theatre performances good for audiences of all ages and interests.
