We went to Beauty and the Beast Jr. What an incredibly talented group of young people!! The young lady that played Belle had an Amazing voice!!!
We brought our daughter to the frozen play and she had an absolute blast. Perfectly executed and wonderfully done for the younger crowd. We will be back for the Christmas Carol this winter! Mike The bartender is a standup guy.
Horrible experience due to staff's total disregard for HP people and monitoring of them at all times. They boast that they are HP friendly and considerate to all even people with dementia. Not the case! Here's why: we were not allowed into any door. They had made us walk and walk around being sent from one end to the other before allowing us into the seating area. Very painful experience.
SI and AR walking issues. We were at the right area and were sent on a wilde goos chase by staff that dont know where B section is and how all doors lead to the same area inside. Then the staff police then relentlessly aggravate the patrons who have disabilities endlessly made my HP teen cry because they have each staff at doors it seems on bungee cords running down at you from behind to bug you. Worse than school monitors. We where wondering if you just bought tickets into a weird experience of toture. One women at the doors had harassed my Make a Wish kid for having her cell phone in her hand and on her lap as she needed to hold it for anxiety and to read what they were saying on an app because they voices of the actors fluctuate and sometimes you can't hear whats going on. Just overpriced tickets for a show for the amount of visual blocking they do with their positioning of actors and huge puppets. They put them to stand directly in front of one side blocking any ability to see anything even the total ending of the show. When they have big paths where no on is seated at. At times when no actors are using these pathways. They keep them clear of actors puppets but instead position them to stand for long times in front of the stage action like a huge wall where they could position the people on stage to stand and not block the show for the patrons to see something. The online purchase say show what's blocked seating and it did not show anything bait and switch. We were totally blocked throughout the show. Never going here again and we drove 1hour 45 min there and back to be wardened and bugged. Totally waist of money gas and time. The theater was made to be so cold we had to leave and miss the beginning and buy a blanket for sale there so my youngest child won't freeze inside making me miss alot of the show and I had to find the staff to make a purchase $30 little blanket. This is not a way to treat people who spent alot $190 tickets hoping to have a good time and relax. It was not at all a delight! More like staff that were incompetent with what door to go into and like an experiment gone wrong with policing patrons all the time who wants to be policed at a show that was soposed to be ADA friendly. They even would not allow me to photograph my kids in their oun seats and not the actors at all. A big time downer and the staff seem power hungry and have no care at all for people's experience except to boss them around and force them to not hold onto their own electronics when it is in their oŵn possession. I been to so many shows and never had thisbtype of running down the path to your seat to distract and punish you for being HP disabled. So if this is what your hoping for a prisoner warden type situation where the policing is done by idiots power hungery abusive jerks with tons of blocked actor's backs for you to not see a thing and bad audio wher you cant hear at times and using huge puppets to block out total scenes to you then enjoy yourself here. We even got harassed by the parking staff at the jump should have been our first clue how this was gonna go.
It’s a beautiful theatre, both inside and out! I wish I had taken photos of the gardens and outside patio to show. Inside the lobby was easily accessible to all, very clean, and excellent seating throughout the whole theatre.
We watched Disney’s Frozen and the orchestra and performers were simply phenomenal!!
Amazing sound and special effects surprised me it was even possible in such a theatre! But be prepared to experience a mind blowing entertaining show, regardless of which you choose. We would definitely come back again!

We went there for Kenny G’s concert. The space is pretty, not too big but beautifully decorated. It offers you a perfect distance and environment to enjoy the show.

Although the balcony seats were a bit tight. That was my only complaint.
Easy to park, short walk to balcony, restroom on every floor, and bar on all floors. Staff was courteous and friendly. No bad seats, and excellent acoustics. A super experience all around.
Took my Mother in Law to see Jersey Boys. Great acting, great sets, amazing voices! The seats were comfortable and offered an amazing view.

I'm not usually a fan of theater in the round, but this is definitely worth it. Close to home without going into Boston. And more comfortable (leg room) than some Boston theaters.

Be prepared to walk a bit - it was a lot for an elderly lady, but OK for me. Warning to folks is that there were stairs to climb if mobility is an issue. I'm sure they have aternatives, but I didn't look since we didn't need them. Also, while there is free parking, you can be closer with paid parking. The only downfall that it's cash only. I came unprepared for that.
Going to see Jersey Boys here with my grandmother was an unforgettable experience. She was so excited, and the cast and crew did not disappoint. The show was well cast and directed, even for the opening show!

The only thing I would say is, we got a call a few days before our show to change our seats and when we went to pick them up, the lady we dealt with was not very friendly. We did enjoy our time nonetheless, and we were in the 2nd row.

I wish I could give the Cabot Theater a 6 or 7!!! We have had the most incredible experience here watching the band Railroad Earth perform. The theater is gorgeous and there are great seats for everyone. It's not stuffy. The lighting looks great. There is a sense of professionalism amongst the staff; seems like people who enjoy their job, care about what they do, and are kind. Thank you for an incredible night! I can't wait to come back many more times. Sorry for not writing more, I need to go grab some popcorn before intermission is up🍿 it smells delicious.

I absolutely LOVE this little gem of a theater! I went to see Eddie Griffin, the comedian, at this intimate venue! They have a bar and concession stand! They have the absolute BEST popcorn...SERIOUSLY! The staff is super friendly! 103 year old theater that has kept their original charm! Still showing old movies, too! It's in the center of a charming downtown area! Loved it! I would recommend attending anything there!
An incredibly enjoyable professional theater experience for under $120 for 2! Saw "Elvis" here with my 18 year old daughter. We loved the show. There did not appear to be a bad seat in the house. He sat in section H, mid row and about half way back from the stage. The circular structure of the theater allowed us to see everything going off on and off stage that was part of the show and the actors made a point to direct their actions and speech throughout the building. Arriving about an hour early, we enjoyed popcorn and soda and M&Ms purchased inside the lobby, while sitting in a gazebo outside. Parking was convenient and free. I should also note, my daughter's ticket was half price due to her student status.

Love The Cabot! We experience another great show this week at the Cabot - Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. The show was 90 minutes of non-stop music and entertainment. The musicians were amazing. The facility is an intimate restored old theater. Not a bad seat in the house. Acoustics were perfect for BBVD's big band sound.

The Cabot Theater brings a diversity of outstanding entertainment for all ages. I pride myself on being a huge fan rock & roll music and have seen many, many concerts at this venue. The sound system of the Cabot is perfect for the size of the room. The sound quality varies dependent on the sound engineer (which is the case in all venues). The Cabot staff is amazing and very accommodating. I would recommend purchasing a “Cabot Club Membership” to enjoy the great benefits that go along with it. This venue is the perfect place to see concerts, movies, or any type of entertainment.
We went to the Jimmy Buffett Escape to Margaritaville Musical this weekend. It was funny, and the story was easy to follow that would smoothly go into a song. The actors were great. Not a bad seat in the house. Since we couldn't see Buffet in concert this year due to his health we thought, Why not! Dress as you wish with Hawaiian shirts etc just no hats to block those behind you. Oh, and you won't be getting that contact high like at the concert! Haha, but think of the money you'll save on refreshments! Honestly, my husband and I truly had a great time. It was a great story, great music, great setting, and a lot of fun! 🦜🍔

A real old style theater that does live performances as well as standard movies. Great architecture and decor. Convenient parking and multiple full service bars. Snack stand with seriously awesome popcorn. All around excellent.
