The Castro Theatre

Tonight's reopening was fabulous, especially with David Haggerty, the long time organist being sainted by the Sisters of Perpetuoant Indigenous as "The Phantom of the Castro," after he rose from the pit on the new organ. The tent like ceiling was amazing in restoration and brilliant colors, chandelier as well. One draw back was the theatre floor and the new seats, not a fan, but sitting in the balcony felt like old times. Concession bar has mostly alcohol, popcorn ran out, they need more popcorn machines and butter! But overall, happy to be back and knowing the theatre will be around for another hundred years.

I’m thrilled that the theater is open again. It’s such a beautiful place.

Renovation is amazing. Sound is great. Awesome seeing Sam Smith there!

I attended a Sam Smith concert tonight, but the experience was disappointing. Despite paying $238 for two balcony seats, I couldn’t see anything. For that price, I would expect seats with an actual view of the stage and the artist. Unfortunately, it completely ruined the show for us and I won’t be back.

beautiful theater. acoustics are nice and plenty of standing room. restrooms are small but well kept and not awkward. Great place to watch a show.

The renovated theater is a must see for Bay Area residents. The Castro neighborhood is a great place to drink and dine before and after a show.

This was closed for renovations, but the iconic marquee is still worth a pic when you’re in the area. Should be finished with upgrades and reopen soon !
