Every time I come to an event here I’m impressed. We just saw Judy Collins & friends 85 birthday bash last night. But this review is about the venue. It’s a historic building with a long history of hosting some of music’s greatest legends. The sound was great. We sat in Orchestra row “M” towards the center. Not so close you strain your neck, just right to take in the whole stage & you are close enough to clearly read the expressions of the performers. The seats are comfortable enough for a few hours but I wouldn’t have them in my living room 😆

The bathrooms were clean & crowded. The staff attentive & helpful. The facility looks clean & well cared for. The water was sparkling & the wine intoxicating. What more could you ask for? I look forward to my next Town Hall event.

Really cute venue. Easy access into your seating area, if a bit snug when everyone is packed in for the winter and needing to get up from your seat, but not completely uncomfortable. Seating view of the stage was great for my event. Staff was friendly and efficient. Allowed in and able to leave the area fairly quickly. Will wand you and quickly check your bag but it wasn't intrusive at all. Had a great time

Great team staff members. Very respectful and efficient. Venue is nice and clean.
The seat was pretty small and a bit uncomfortable.  It's alright for just one hour event. I don't think I can sit still for more than that.

Three of us went to attend Anubhav Singh Bassi show on Dec 14, 2024 at the Town Hall. The venue has good interior character. We were seated in LODGE12 Row 1 Seats 1,2,3. The view from Lodge12 was nice. We had to call for help to fix one of our seats. Also, the legroom might get uncomfortable for tall people in this row. I was absolutely comfortable (5’3”). However, my bf (5’7”) and friend (6’1”) weren’t. It seemed there was only one ladies restroom (maybe I’m wrong) but the queue got long pretty quick so you might want to remain prepared accordingly.

I was pleased to be able to see Everglow for the first time in this theater. The venue is small enough to be fairly intimate, which provides a better experience than large ones. The attendants, a few cases aside, are a decently polite group of people. The restrooms are even relatively clean and pretty, which is certainly appreciated. All in all, it is reminiscent of a more glamorous world, a world in the past.

感動しました！

Everglow, incidentally, was probably the best performance I saw all summer. They are quite fine performers. Their dancing skill is good, and they behave in cute ways, to the delight of the audience. Although I was in the fifth row, I suppose I was not near enough to receive direct attention from them, although others a little nearer did, which must have been nice for them. The energy of the crowd was also quite nice, and they don't play the audio excessively loud.

The gilded touches in this theater are also wonderful.

12/16 update:
I was treated to a once-in-a-lifetime experience today: like a criminal, or a pervert, by the staff. I certainly never thought I would experience something like this in my lifetime.

I had managed to get a second-row seat for this concert, Fifty Fifty. As many do, I began to record the concert, and take pictures for Instagram, my visual diary.

Still in the very beginning of the concert, I was dragged by main force and threat from my seat, in front of the performers, by the shaved-head employee Peter, apparently owing to accusations from the Asian female employee with dyed hair (Julia). Eventually, she repeats vociferously that the angle was "way too low". You may see for yourself, the "angle" was me sitting in my 2nd row seat, my elbow on the 1st row to prevent fatigue.

The accusation is all the more bizarre because the audience is a sea of cameras. The cameras are at the same level as mine.

Out of sight of the audience, I am spoken to in threatening tones. Bizarrely, they refuse to tell me a reason, though I repeatedly ask for one. They would have thrown me out short-sleeved in December except I am insistent.

On the way back inside, I point to the sea of cameras, and ask if the issue would be resolved if I stood? Counter-productively, even that isn't answered. I am told only that this is my last chance, and I will be thrown out if I "screw up" again. For most of the concert, two burly male employees are kept just a foot or two away from me, close enough almost to breathe on me. Eventually, it is only one.

Firstly, these outfits are not risque by K-pop standards. Second, why did they drag out the one White male there, amidst a sea of people recording, and refuse explanation, suggestion, or warning? You may see the pictures yourself. The males in front of me crowded round and shoved their cameras forward. The Asian fellow in the seat behind me even flirted repeatedly with one of the performers. And yet not a one of them was thrown out, or even disciplined.

I speak and act in an educated manner. I gave no cause for suspicion. They never cared to even let me speak. They ruined my experience, and what is worse, they dirtied me as a human being. I was treated like I was filth that whole concert, and I did not deserve that. Lest they think I was a coward, I approached my bullies afterwards, individually. I allowed no anger in my voice, lest my subsequent reaction give a veneer of justice to their earlier behavior. I tersely but calmly asked each their name. That is how I have them.

The last time I came here, I had bought ice cream for a family of Korean tourists. I speak only English and Japanese, but they were clearly touched. It was a beautiful memory. But now that memory has been replaced by inhumanity, and I am tense when I think of this place.

I wish the manners of the staff were as beautiful as the building.
