elsinore theatre

We go to the Elsinore Theater a few times a year for all kinds of shows. Might be ballet, rock n roll, country music, dancing, or just old classic movies. Last night was Neil Berg’s Rock 'N' Roll Decades which was absolutely amazing. Each musician/singer was world class and I feel very fortunate to see something worthy of Broadway in New York at our little historic theater in Salem. Thanks to Neil and his crew for choosing the Elsinore as the first place to debut his new show. At break time we talked to Charlotte one of the volunteers who is very nice and engaging. We always park right behind the theater for free and we go to Davincis next door for dinner. We love going to the Elsinore as it is a beautiful venue with reasonably priced events.

My husband and I took a friend and our 6 year old granddaughter to see "Popovich" at the Elsinore Theatre and it was absolutely the best show. Live animals including cats, dogs, goats, geese, doves, a parrot, and a miniature horse. All came from a rescue and were very well trained. The entire show was very entertaining and went by quickly. This person has shows in Las Vegas too at a much higher cost. Add all this to the fact that the Elsinore Theatre is a beautiful old building with much charm. I recommend it highly for not only this show but for all the productions they offer.

It is totally restored and is absolutely gorgeous. Staffed for every occasion by the sweetest volunteers. Seating on the main floor is just OK - but the mezzanine seats are to die for! We attend performances and old time movies here several times a year. It is spectacular!!!

This is a theater with lots of history that has been restored. It is beautiful, the seats are comfortable, and used for many different events from actors to plays, and community events too.

Don't miss this venue! This is a very beautiful older theatre with a mighty Wurlitzer with all the pipes! The seating is very comfortable. This theatre is loved by many, and it shoes, as the renovations that have been done are just super. Many types of shows are offered here. I have been to many of the performances. I went to their December Christmas show, with singalong times, carolers in Victorian attire, and a special time with the kids from the audience on stage. There are also silent movies shown with Wurlitzer organ accompaniment. There are speakers, musicals, dancers, a bit of everything, plus notable musicians. The price is right and the floor is graduated, with a balcony, so basically, there is no bad seat. Also, food and beverage is available in the lobby, including beer and wine. It is a bustling atmosphere before the curtain goes up, and at intermission while in the lobby.

I enjoy this theater like no other. It reminds me of when my mother took me to see the Disney movies like Bambi and Snow White when I was just a girl in the 60's. The big curtain opens on the stage and you are relaxed in your movie chair seat. I love the old architecture inside with the high ceiling and crown moldings. The price is unbeatable. Go back in time !

I went to see Ms. Angelou at this facility and was seated in the middle of a very tight row. While the speaker captivated and kept my mind on her, I spent the entire time trying to stay within the confines of the seat without stepping on toes or bumping elbows.

If you have a chance to see a show at The Elsinore, go. It is such a beautiful, well preserved place and the staff is excellent.

From the time you enter the grand entryway, then the theater it is almost all class,Love classic silent films with the theatre organ. Concerts, anything is good here. wonderful acoustics, visually stunning.Only minor drawback is the bathrooms. They have been remodeled but still not convenient.

My wife and I attended a Brothers Four concert here in the fall of 2013. What a beautiful and historic place. Take time to walk around the theater and take in all of the interesting things there. We are planning on attending other events here.

We went to a wedding here and it was absolutely beautiful and the theater is small enough that all seats are good seats. The sound was also really good. I would definitely want to see another event here!

The Elsinore Theater is a majestic theater/concert hall which was originally built in 1926 and totally refurbished during the past 10 years. The theatre was designed to resemble the Elsinore Castle in Denmark and is incredibly ornate. The theater contains an enormous Wurlitzer Organ which is played during silent movies and other events. In recent months we've seen The Brother's Four, Merle Haggard, Dancing With The Salem Stars and other shows. The diversity of the acts is great and the price is perfect along with the free Salem Parking and the great restaurants nearby. We typically eat at DaVinci Ristorante & Wine Bar right next door which makes for a perfect reasonably priced evening.

A beautiful art deco theater that has been restored to it's glory. There are many venues there that meet all interests.

Watched the BBKing concert and staff were like police. I've never been to a concert where they were so distracting....! It's standard today for people to take a few casual shots of artists at concerts but the staff made a huge deal with a lady in front of me taking a shot on her phone and kept glaring at everyone in our section after that. It was unnerving and very distracting. The theater is lovely the concert was good, but after paying so much for the tickets, it was a bit of a gut wrench to see the staff doing this and parading up and down telling people to stop taking photos.I did not see anyone trying to record the show, but photos? Come on, that is what people do today.I'll add that after the show, the band was still on the stage and although a number of people left about 50% of the audience was still there. BB King was hanging around with the band onstage still and the staff started going through the aisles picking up trash. A huge hint for us to leave....I mean the band was still facing the audience....! Anyway I had a empty aluminum can of filtered water and asked if I could put it in the trash can and the staff chastised me saying, "you are not allowed to bring any drinks up here except water, so remember that in the future" taking my can. I looked at her just as annoyed as she looked at me, and said, "why don't you look at the label? It IS water." I'll spend my money in Corvallis or Portland next time. Salem, you're small town peanuts....!

We attended the Menopause Musical January 30, 2014. We were told these were good seats but the Center seats row C (last row) was even with row B and we could not see over Row B's heads. We missed some of the show and had to sit with the seat in the up position to make us taller. This was not comfortable. Even with the seat up, we still could not see everything. Another group sitting in same row moved to the outer seats just so they could see better. Although the seats themselves are comfortable, I would suggest DO Not sit in these seats. They cost the same as the seat on the ground level. I was very disappointed. Also, the Usher was an elderly lady who would not let you sit back down during the show if you had to get up and use the restroom. She made you wait until the show changed scenes. Not like you interrupting anyone going back to your seats. You did spend $60.00 on the ticket and it is Menopause, so if you have to pea the scene was all about have to go NOW. LOL
