tripadvisor…but you’ll find the best performances at the TB Sheldon. Set your phones to silent, grab some popcorn, and peek with me behind the red velvet curtains of this historic theater.Affectionately known by locals as “The Jewel Box” of Red Wing, the Sheldon’s impressively ornate interior would upstage that of many other theaters. The lobby makes a dramatic entrance, and the auditorium steals the show with gorgeous murals, and gold and ivory plaster sculptures adorning the walls.The Sheldon’s history is as dramatic as its decor, the building having survived two fires and an explosion that blew off the roof. Opening its doors in 1904, it hosted Vaudeville shows travelling through from Chicago to Minneapolis in its early years, and later converted to a movie house. Now it showcases live performances and lectures, as well as playing classic movies like Gone with the Wind.I fondly remember performing here in my teens, electricity in the air as we waited for our cue, hoping not to break a leg en pointe. Most recently I watched the amazing musical Glensheen here, and it brought down the house! A Sheldon experience is always magical for the audience and the performers alike.This theater is a destination unto itself, and is certainly a tough act to follow. I give it 5 rounds of applause!
MoreMy husband and I saw 7 bridges not at this event but at an event down in Sea Isle city. NJ. There lead guitarist is truly amazing. Their instrumentation and music arrangements are well executed. I've also seen an eagles tribute band called Desert Highway and their vocals are very authentic and you almost think your listening to the real Eagles.
MoreTheir style and talent took me on an awesome musical jourmey to movies tucked far into my memories. What a delightful experience!
MoreWe attended a rock concert (The BoDeans) at the Sheldon Theatre. We were in the very last row of the lower level and still felt close to the stage with a good view of the band and excellent sound. We would definitely attend other shows here.
MoreWe went here to see Bodeans perform. It was a great concert in a very intimate setting. The theater is beautifully restored. The seats are very comfortable and the theater is small enough for the performance to be very intimate.
