My wife and I took a walking tour of Philadelphia and saw a poster advertising the theatre while we were visiting the Italian Market. The play was "Dino" a evening with Dean Martin.

My daughter took me to see Grease for a belated Mother's Day treat. I love old architecture and this theater has plenty of history. We were in the back in the second level but could see and hear everything. If I was a resident of Philadelphia I would be a subscriber, great little theater with plenty to offer.

You can't come to Philly and not get some tickets to see a show at the Walnut Street Theatre, America's most subscribed theatre. They have a great line up on the mainstage from musicals to plays. I've enjoyed every show i've been to and am an annual subscriber!

We had a lovely time at the Walnut Street Theatre, courtesy of a Yelp Elite event (final rehearsal for Good People). The theatre looks small, but can pack 1000+ people. It's clean. The sound system was great. The actors / actresses' voices projected well into the audience.
Good People was a hilarious and honest play that serves as a good...

Been there to see 'Good People' end of March. What an amazing cosy theatre. The oldest in US! Must visit. Not cheap so pick your date carefully.
