"Went to the Guthrie for that…"
Went to the Guthrie for that show the other night, and the acting was way better than I expected. Everyone felt like actual people, even the ones who weren’t in it that much. Nobody was doing too much, which I appreciated. I don’t know, I just got into it quickly once everything started happening. Would definitely go back...

"Nice lobby, but the crowd flow could be better"
I went to the Guthrie and the lobby is definitely nice, but it felt really packed before the show. The drink lines moved slowly, and it was tough to find a quieter spot to just hang out for a minute. The staff were perfectly fine and seemed to be doing their best, so I don’t want to blame them. It just feels like a place like this should make the experience a little smoother and more comfortable for everyone. Overall, not a bad visit, just average.

"Okay Lines, Confusing Bathrooms"
The lines moved along fine, so that part wasn’t really an issue. But the bathroom situation got confusing quickly, and when I asked about it, I kind of felt like I was being talked down to instead of just getting a simple answer.

"Always Something Worth Seeing"
I always like checking what’s playing at Guthrie because the lineup is usually interesting. They mix in some classics, newer shows, and different styles, so it doesn’t feel like the same thing over and over. For anyone else who likes having a few good options to choose from, it’s a easy place to find something worth seeing.

"Decent but a little slow"
The bar service was okay—actually, decent is probably the better word, but it was kind of slow before the show. The drinks were fine, though a bit pricey. The staff seemed really busy, but they were still nice enough. Overall, not bad, just not the smoothest experience.

"Membership actually feels worth it"
I’m usually skeptical when companies talk up their “exclusive perks” and all that polished marketing stuff, but this membership has been useful. The perks are solid, and booking is simple without a bunch of hassle.

"Easy ticket buying experience"
I bought tickets on Guthrie Theater and it was easy. Picking seats was clear, and checkout was quick, well, not instant, but it definitely didn’t drag on. I got the confirmation email right away too, which I always appreciate. No problems on my end, and I’d use the site again.

"Pretty Smooth Experience"
The staff were really helpful with getting us seated and setting up the captions, which sorta made everything feel easy and stress-free.

"Good show, not-so-great seats!"
Ended up really enjoying the show overall, but our seats had some weird sightlines... We missed a few moments happening on stage, which was a bit frustrating. Still a good night, just wish we’d picked better seats!

"Comfortable for Long Sitting"
I sat in it for quite a while and it still felt good. Nothing over the top, just comfortable and easy to use for longer stretches.

"Good shows, but the booking could be smoother"
I’ve used guthrietheater a few times to look up shows and buy tickets. It gets the job done, but the site can feel a little slow, and sometimes it takes more clicks than it should. I also wasn’t thrilled about waiting in a queue when I was just trying to grab seats, especially with the ticket prices already feeling steep once all the fees are added. The theater itself is really nice and the performances are usually worth seeing, but for the price, I’d expect the whole booking process to be a bit smoother.

"Great Sound From Anywhere"
I went to a show here the sound was really good. I was sitting higher up and could still hear every line clearly, which I know a lot of other customers probably appreciate too. The music was balanced and never felt too loud or overwhelming. Overall, it made the whole experience really enjoyable.

"A Really Polished Night at the Guthrie"
I went to a show at the Guthrie Theater with a friend who’s always been big into live theater, and we both walked out genuinely impressed. The production quality was excellent, the sets looked detailed and thoughtfully done, not like anything was thrown together. The lighting added so much to the mood without feeling flashy, and the sound was clear the whole time, which I really appreciate because that can make or break a show for me. The costumes, the scene changes, all of it just felt smooth and professional. You can tell a lot of care goes into their productions. I’d definitely go back

"Nice vibe, just a little too crowded"
The theater definitely looks nice and has a cool vibe, but it felt more packed than I expected, so it wasn’t as cozy as I was hoping. I remember there was this oddly tiny lamp near the hallway that I couldn’t stop noticing for some reason. Overall, it’s a good-looking spot, just not quite the relaxed experience I had in mind.

"Better Prices Than I Expected"
The tickets were cheaper than I thought they’d be. I feel like other customers would probably be pleasantly surprised too, especially if they’re used to seeing higher prices elsewhere

"Easy Trip to the Guthrie"
We took public transit to the Guthrie, and it made the whole night a lot easier. The stop was close by, so we didn’t have to deal with downtown parking or spend extra money on it. Getting back after the show was simple too. Because of that, the whole theater visit felt relaxed instead of turning into a big parking hassle.

"The snacks were just kinda stale?? Not terrible…"
The snacks were just kinda stale?? Not terrible, but definitely not fresh either... I was expecting them to be a lot better!!!

"I really loved the stage design at…"
I really loved the stage design at the Guthrie. The sets felt close-up and detailed without being too much (which I appreciated). The lighting made everything stand out in such a great way, i had a good time just looking around and taking it all in.

"Super easy check-in"
I got in really quickly and didn’t have to print anything out, which was nice. In the past I’ve had to mess around with paperwork or print confirmations ahead of time, so this felt way more convenient
