Paramount Theatre — Attraction in Aurora Township

I was totally wrong about this place. I had heard it was a very nice theater and I didn't believe it.

This place far surpassed my expectations and was amazing. They did a phenomenal job with this playhouse.

What's surprise me even more was that I went to see the musical Frozen and was not really looking forward to it.

I was blown away by the caliber of the actors and actresses and their singing ability as well as the backdrop of the production.

This was top-notch! The singers were so good I couldn't believe they were actually singing and thought it was fake.

This will teach me for having negative preconceived notions.

Go check this place out you won't be disappointed. ................... This is a second posting following a second visit.

Once again I have to tip my hat to the Paramount.

Before the show the announcer indicated several changes in the cast line-up.

And yes I have a pessimistic way of thinking ....as I thought..."ugh... Second string actors.."

I was wrong yet again. The performance was amazing. The singing was fantastic and the acting was spot on. It was a fun, funny, entertaining, and engrossing top notch play!

And let me be clear ... I am simply not a fan of musical plays whatsoever! Not my thing.

They knocked this out of the park! Instead of slowly nodding off to sleep ....which I admit I have done on several occasions with different plays... this time around, I was truly impressed an engaged in watching the play unfold.

I went to the Paramount with a group of friends and my sister.... With everyone raving about what a great time they had.

The big thing I came away from after seeing this play was a sense of excitement that I don't have to go down to Chicago to see top notch quality entertainment.

To all the actors I saw it the Paramount last night... Here's another round of applause for you guys.. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏!

Finally...

I'll admit that I'm kind of judgy... Because I was shocked that Aurora has this kind of finesse and dazzle with entertainment.

I wish other places in The burbs would follow suit... Until then... I'll be taking friends and family and guests to the Paramount!

Hats Off...

Stunningly gorgeous theatre!

Periodically over the last 25 year's we have been attending productions at Paramount, but it was just this past year that we became subscription members as we have enjoyed absolutely everything we have seen here over the years. The theater is in the latest phases of replacing the original seating with more comfortable and spacious seats that still fit in perfectly with the traditional decor. This was a much needed and well deserved upgrade to the setting which in no way would be noticed by a new theater goer. The Paramount is a business casual attire type of place with a classy feel; dressing up for the evening makes the evening that much more special and memorable. The calendar of events are easily accessible on Paramount's website. And purchasing tickets through the website is extremely easy and user-friendly. The price per show is insanely affordable, and a subscription to an entire year of shows (four shows beginning in September) gives the buyer a nice discount on the package. At the time of this review, there are other benefits to being a season ticket holder as well - please see the website, it is a truly phenomenal deal for a wonderful, memorable night out! The office and theatre staff are all friendly, courteous, helpful, and professional. The theatre and bathrooms are pristine. Parking is available on street around the theatre as well as off street and a few short blocks away in the parking garage ($), however it's suggested you consult Paramount's website for assistance with parking. The Paramount has many different shows and various other entertainment offerings available throughout the year. It is not simply an old-timey theatre, one trick pony offering plays - it is...

I have always loved going to shows at the Paramount. I am a subscriber and was so happy that they were able to open again. I felt bad during the pandemic that none of the production staff were able to work. I was slightly worried that the theatre would no longer exist. I was super excited to get the emails saying that they would reopen with Kinky Boots being the first show.

I was not happy to see that we could only attend the shows if fully vaccinated and would need to wear masks during the whole visit except when eating or drinking. I got over myself and decided I still wanted to go. I needed to find other people to go with, because the person I normally attended the shows with was not fully vaccinated. She was not happy. She loves the theatre and we joined originally years back because it is a treat to be able to attend a professional quality show without the hassle of going into the city. The process to get into the theatre was not difficult. You had to show your vax card(1st for me), id and your printed or digital ticket.

We got our drinks, there was not food(really missed my cookie). We Loved the Show'!!!! Kudos to everyone, I saw it twice and it was fabulous both times. I had to look in the program to see if they were really men. The talent of the actors, set design, music, etc....
