Reviews of Chatham Capitol Theatre (Museum)

Michael Penn

What a lovely theatre. It has been restores to remarkably glorious condition. If there is an event there you'd like to see, do not hesitate: te atmosphere, the acoustic, the whole vibe of the place is memorable. We just saw Canadian Brass and it was magnificent.

Beautiful theatre.

Andrew Tompsett

The Capitol Theatre is a jewel of downtown Chatham. They will frequently have shows that travel to larger centres. I have been to many productions at the theatre and have always been impressed with the quality of the shows.

Craig Smolders

Restrooms are very clean and well stocked. Decent seating capacity with legroom. Good view of stage from any seat.

David Enns

Beautiful venue!

Dan Savoie

Gorgeous venue and amazing sound. One of the nicest theatres in Canada.

Cass May

Great architecture in this historic building, cozy venue for live shows. They serve good drinks on the upper level. They did however waste a tonne of cash on renovating this theatre. With no return for the community. It doesn't attract any big names or well known people. The beat show that's been their is a Penn and teller show, This venue is not as historical as the appollo. It's mediocre at best in the sad attempt at luring any tourist.

Excellent place to go for a movie or concert. Lovely 1920's restoration of a classic old theatre. And my dad, son, and I put the tile floors in the dressing rooms in the basement. I watched movies there as a kid, helped with the restoration and love when I get a chance to go see a performance there.

Beautifully decorated facility and very courteous staff ????

Brian Cornies

What a great place to see a show! Parking was easy and free. Staff was professional, friendly and helpful. The building itself has been beautifully renovated. The theatre is fairly small, so you are very close to the performers and don't have to deal with huge crowds. We went early and had dinner next door at Frendz Tapas and Martini Lounge to make for a great evening out. Highly recommended.

Dan McMahon

Good seating with no blocked views. Concession was closed during the show, though. Not sure if that was the theatre's decision or the show's...

Em Cee

It's a beautiful theatre, and the $5 movies on Wednesday are a great, budget friendly option. However, the cover band events aren't a big draw. Its a shame that such a beautiful building is so under utilized.

Don Shropshire

Louis Anderson, terrific show, terrific venue!

Ira Timothy

A lovely venue. Very clean, well maintained good helpful staff and the acoustics were good making it easy to hear Burton Cummings and see him. Have been there before for the Queen tribute show and was equally pleased with the performance. While I do not drink I was pleased to se a refreshment bar that caters to alcoholic and non alcoholic. Bathrooms were fair and clean so that is always a plus but quite bland. The seating could use some updating as the seats were for an older time and they were flip seats, small and probably uncomfortable for heaftier people. Leg roo would have been nice but it was alright.

Brian Kelly

Nice venue

Joanne Jones

Just attended our granddaughter's dance recital... seating is comfortable, sound good, no bad seat for vision. Only bad thing is parking
