Whatever you do, find a way to see a show at the Majestic Theatre. It's truly a gem - the 1929 Spanish Mediterranean building is a national historic landmark - a must-see if you are in San Antonio. It was also the first theatre in Texas to be completely air conditioned. Check out their web site for shows and tickets.

The Majestic theatre is an important part of San Antonio's history. Beautifully restored and maintained this venue is perfect for enjoying touring Broadway shows. The only complaint we have is that the seats are so small and close together, except in the Starlight Lounge level.

Nice place to catch a play. Better to get midway seats as compared to the high top ones we got. Place is fairly small compared to other places but still recommend somewhere in the mid range for more comfortable seating.

Nice theater. Enjoy shows here but the concessions area is a terror! A facelift with better accessibility is long overdue!

Well, we finally got here and the theatre was so beautiful. I have never seen anything like it. Our seats were in the balcony and we could see just fine. The ceiling with the moving clouds was so awesome and the theater surrondings were gorgeous. It was so awesome to get all dressed up, It almost gave us a feeling... More

Lovely venue for a fantastic performer. We did not like that they continued to serve from the bar DURING the show as people continued to get up and down throughout, plus some of the guests were drunk and a little rowdy. The show was amazing, though, and we really enjoyed seeing Ms. Krall perform live in such a fantastic setting.

This is a great place to see Broadway plays and other high quality entertainment. We say "Million Dollar Quarter" there in April and thoroughly enjoyed it. Seating upstairs was totally satisfactory and the quality of the performers was outstanding.
