We were minor patrons of the Paramount and loved the impact that the theater had on the local environment and economy. Unfortunately, financial woes resulting in it's closing. We are still upset and, to be honest, angry. We've seen reports of a resurrection and look forward to new management to bring back the magic.

Close the theater and never refunded the money for the tickets. E-mail the theater on several occasional and never got a reply. Theater is to reopen this year. Lets see what happens...

There is not a bad seat there. Have seen several shows & always enjoyed them. If you find an act you want to see, it is easy to find parking & the tickets are priced well. We Always have a good time & usually go over to 12 Grapes Club afterwards. Makes a fun night!

The Paramount had great entertainment but faced financial problems and is currently undergoing a reorganization.

It is an old time theater that brings culture to the Hudson Valley. It is having financial problems lately, but I hope they are solved soon. Too good a treasure to lose.

then they closed their doors due to poor management, and I am out $125 for a show that I bought tickets to and never happened - and no refund. Talk about a bad taste in your mouth.

I have seen many concerts/shows/movies at the Paramount. It is an awesome venue with not a bad seat in the house.

It's close to home and reasonably priced. We went to several concerts there and enjoyed them very much. It's nice to not have to drive into NYC for entertainment.
