Beautiful theatre! It was an incredibly busy night when we visited (The Lion King!), but there were a lot of staff working and they were all great, kind, and helpful. The theatre is not huge so you can get a good seat pretty much anywhere (as long as you do not have an oversized individual sitting in front of you!!)!!

First Time visiting to enjoy The Lion King! Being my first time visiting I may be sharing too much info but I would have loved to know this before my arriving. Ohio Theater was great at Pre Arriving communication, I appreciated the email reminders with important things to know, also follow their Facebook as they communicate there of any downtown events that may cause delays or confusion. They informed that the Gallbreath Pavillon doors would open 90 minutes before showtime for happy hour. To find that entrance standing at the main front entrance, turn left and walk around the block. You will see the first set of doors, but you need to walk all way down to second set of doors to enter through security. Men’s restroom is right here at this entrance if needed, man will need ticket to get in so don’t leave him behind. Once inside there is a concession stand here, or you can go up the stairs to next level where there is another concession stand. They accept US cash or card. Ladies room is on second level to the far left. We sat on right side of that second level. Lobby doors opened 60 minutes before where there is another concession stand and not many seating options. Once in the lobby area there is a ladies room down the first hall to the right keep walking in the lobby towards theatre doors and there is another hallway to the right with the men’s room. A few seats here to wait the 30 minutes for theatre doors to open. We had Orchestra Seats with Extra Magic, this area is down the steps from this lobby area at Aisle 2 entrance. The Magical Extra inclusions was right at the bottom of steps and beside the entrance so was perfect! Walking in there was many ushers to escort you to your seats and hand you the playbill. Temperature was perfect, last weekend in June and I was wearing a cardigan sweater and felt comfortable. Seats were also very comfortable, wider that some older theater seats. When show was over, there was an exit to the right that took you directly out to side exit of theatre. We had a room booked at Doubletree by Hilton and walked back to hotel felt completely safe. All the staff we encountered was all very friendly and welcoming. Great experience and I’m looking forward to attending more Broadway in Columbus shows!

Went to see Tina, and even though we were in te nose bleed seats, we still had a good view. The accustics were great! The building itself is beautiful! Seats very comfortable. If in Columbus again and have the opportunity to see a show at this venue, I definately will!

The theatre is beautiful. My only complaint is that it’s not easy to figure out where to go to find your seat. They had minimal ushers helping people.

I have taken my 4 children to see a Christmas Carol at the Ohio Theater every year since 1982, even as adults. I started the tradition with my grandchildren when they were 5 years old. Even after moving out of state I would arrange for all of us to make the 4 hour drive (each way), pay for accommodations and the cost of gas and food. Prior to this year our last time was in 2019 and we were all excited to be able to return this year. However, our disappointment with the new version was horrible. Key elements were missing, scenery was terrible and more than 90% of the dialogue was unintelligible. I heard multiple people echoing the same sentiments throughout the theater, even expressing comments such what “dialect” the actors were using. With great sadness we all agreed that we would not return in the future to the Ohio Theater to see this production again. We will attempt to find the traditional play in another state even if it requires further travel. The money and time invested in attending this production was not worth it. I wish the actors success in their careers in the future.
