    The building is absolutely beautiful. It was very cool to be able to experience going into the building. The show was amazing. The only downfall is the seating. My seats were the right side of the balcony, second row. Couldn't see the stage at all from where I was sitting. Especially after people sat in the front row. I missed 75% of the play. Seats were reasonably priced, however for missing most of the show it wasn't really worth it. If you are thinking about going try to get seats on the front row of the balcony or the middle of the balcony or down on the main floor.

    Loved visiting here to see Puffs! Cute warm theater with a nice room for concessions and a nice lounge in the women's restroom.

    The opera house is beautiful and the view to the square so festive this season. Even the restrooms are charming! The only negative is the sightlines from the balcony are not great, especially from the side sections.

    Wonderful building.. Just be aware if you have balcony tickets that the elevator does not go all the way up... A little rough for folks with walking impairments.. But wonderful staff and great productions and yummy snacks

    Saw the Nutcracker great show . To me the theater did not have a bad seat in the house.👍

    The building has served many different purposes since it was built in 1889. It is a beautifully restored building in a quaint historic square. I've attended many performances and always arrive early to admire the historic interior/exterior. It is a small auditorium with a balcony, elevator, and stairs. Also, a nice cafe next door.

    Venue is stunning, rich in history and very comfortable. The show, Seussical the Musical was extremely well done. Opening night you expect some glitches, but no...it was AMAZING! Amazing voices across the board, visuals and cast facials were spot on...they play this March (until the 19th...I think) do yourself a favor go see the show, fabulous family outing!!!

    The Woodstock Opera House is beautiful. The acoustics are great. They have great shows and plays at this venue. However, the seats are small and very close together, especially in the balcony. Be aware of that if you are a larger framed person, and remember you will be sitting there for a couple of hours to watch the shows. The balcony is up several flights of stairs. Also, if someone in front of you has a large hat or hair bow on their head, your view will probably be at least partially obstructed, especially in the balcony seating. That happened to my friends before. Overall, the experience is enjoyable if you enjoy the show they are putting on.

    Beautiful! Opera House for the age it is has been kept up well ( building from 1889.). Play was wonderful. I just wished that my husband grandpa could have seen it. He has passed away, but he was in the battles of WW2
