I felt compelled to write something about Saturday nights performance of "A Christmas Carol" I tried to like this event and saw some potential. A late start and a 30 minute Act one then a fifteen minute intermission that lasted more like twenty three minutes then an act two that was about 35 minutes was more a blessing than a disappointment. The dancing, lighting and creative design were interesting however they were mostly on a par with an elementary or middle school performance. The ticket charges were way too much for a "school play" like venue. In the middle of the second act there was a woman in the audience that yelled out "That's my baby girl, up there" . . . "that's my baby"! In my opinion I'm sorry to say, it was an unexpectedly disappointing experience.

The Attucks Theater is a hidden gem if you appreciate historic sites. I've had the privilege of attending a few jazz shows over the years. Musical acts are held in the main theater and upstairs in a venue for a club like feel. I suggest parking across the street to avoid congestion when leaving.

A very intimate and personal venue. Fabulous decor. Had a slight sound system problem. You definitely need to arrive early. Parking is very limited. But overall experience was wonderful.

Beautiful place but lost a couple of limbs to frostbite. Bring a big sweater in the summer as the AC is brutal

My Wife and I were first timers to the Attucks theater. Celebrated 27yrs of Marital Bliss tonight. Nicole Henry killed it, what a talent. Hope to see her perform in the future.

Historical theater that offers great seating. It is a intimate theater so every seat has a great view of the stage on the lower level. If you want to enjoy dinner before your show, the Ghent section of Norfolk is close by. Bring cash and come.early for parking because it is very limited.

Had a great time at the 100 year Celebration of the Attucks Theatre. Beautiful building, friendly ushers. Upstairs there is a small exhibit of the history. Beautiful art through out the facility. Limited parking.

Went here to see Kim Waters and he was great! The acoustics were pretty good too. I gave it 4 starts only because the seating was really, really tight.

Historic venue. Some of the biggest names in show business past and present have played at this venue on Church St. In downtown Norfolk VA. Absolutely wonderful.

I am new here from New York and this was an excellent first theater experience in Norfolk.
The Attucks is steeped in history (which I love). It is sparkling clean and the staff are extremely kind and helpful.
Parking is minimal behind the theater but free, so get to your show early. Additional parking is available close by with a donation in any denomination.
I saw Leslie Jones here. She was part of the line up for the theater's 100 year anniversary (Attucks 100). The sound and lighting was superb. The seating is intimate so you get an excellent view of the stage no matter where you sit. Caution though, the seats felt a bit small so do not carry large pocket books. There is just enough space for you to sit in your chair. Nothing extra!
There is also a bar available so you can sip while you enjoy the show.
Please do visit this magnificent theater.

Nice venue. Viewing the show was awesome. The only issue I found were the rows of seating are too close to those seated in front of you- legs were a bit cramped, and seats are on the small side.
