Hershey & Browne

Update 11/02/24 This was a much better experience, less hectic and rushed due to the fact that we arrived earlier! Ain’t Too Proud, the Broadway musical about the lives of The Temptations is a must see! New: Hershey Theatre will CLOSE for major upgrades and renovations on January 25, 2025 and reopen in early 2026! I hope the beauty of the interior is preserved! This was an experience on a Saturday, 2:00 pm Matinee for Beetlejuice, The Musical, on tour at Hershey. Suggestion # 1: Give yourselves plenty of time to arrive well before the performance because while there was enough parking ( free) there were not enough people directing the flow of traffic and it took long to park. Suggestion #2: Follow the rule of SMALL purse! Also if you happen to have a pepper spray attached to your key chain, leave it in the car! I had to throw mine in the trash! Suggestion #3: Use the bathroom before the show. At Intermission the lines are very long. On the positive side, the theatre’s architecture is beautiful, the staff friendly and security tight. Beetlejuice, a great performance!

Beautiful historic theater. Plan to walk up to 2 blocks for parking. They also conduct metal detections and inspection personal belongings. Do not bring a handbag bigger than a hand clutch due to size restrictions. Once in the theater, the atmosphere is WONDERFUL and the ushers are helpful and professional.

Great theater to see a show! Parking isn't bad and there is some street parking (better option) until it's time to go. Can take about 20+ minutes to get out of the lot. (But that should be expected) My only negative is the the purse fitting into the box thing. Had I known this, I'd have left it home; however, I took out my wallet and cell, put it in my pocket and returned it to the purse once inside. In all fairness, there may have been some kind of disclosure on the website when purchasing. Overall, the show was great, the seats were great, and the staff was great. Kudos Hershey Theater!

We thoroughly enjoyed the Straight No Chaser Christmas program here. The guys put on an incredible show, true to form! Their newest addition to the group, Luke Bob Robinson, did an amazing medley of Johnny Cash songs. His strong bass voice (with the help of an awesome sound system) really made the room rumble. This group remains fresh and entertaining from the intro video to the encores. This was our first time in the Hershey Theater. It felt small and intimate, great for this kind of show. I found the seating rather tight (row to row) but tolerable. Acoustics were very good, especially for the final number without any mics, amps, or speakers. Great venue.

We saw Derek Houghn last night and what an amazing venue. Very friendly staff and theatre is stunning!! I would definitely like to get back to there for another show
