State Theatre of Modesto Inc — Attraction in Modesto

I went there to see the Prince tribute concert w my family. It was my 1st time there and I really didn't know what to expect. But, overall i was pleasantly impressed and enjoyed myself there at the concert and the venue.

Upon arriving...the parking was fairly easy to find a parking space. We pretty much walked right up to the front entrance w a minor wait to get in while security checked bags. But, it was fast moving. And, ultimately we didn't mind bc it was for our safety.

We were then pointed towards our seats and were able to navigate ourselves without any problems. We had a total of 5 tickets purchased and we had the cluster of seats that are seated closest to the wall. It was nice and convenient for us to all be sitting comfortably together. I was however I brought in my jacket to wear inside. Had I not done so I would've been awfully cold and probably uncomfortable the entire show. So just keep that in mind to those of you that purchase those tickets near the wall. For some reason there is a chilly breeze that comes through somehow over there on the sides.

As for the concert...overall I thought the band was pretty good and I would recommend seeing them if you get the chance too! And if you never have been to the State Theatre of Modesto...do yourself a favor n check it out. I'm glad I did. Supposedly they have a pretty good restaurant next door to this theatre that is good & worth checking out if you have the...

While the show was very good The theater is an unmitigated disaster. They can thank the host for saving the night. The seats are incredibly narrow although they do have a bit of legroom. It's the old '70s metal framed fold-down seating. They can put a ton of people in this place and they do. There were not enough garbage cans for people to throw things away so of course the theater was left with all kinds of junk. But maybe the scariest part was looking up at the ceiling where the skylights were covered with possibly inches of dirt. Could just imagine that falling down. Lastly, exiting the theater while a new shows audience is showing up is madness and they should know this. The lobby was a catastrophe of people going every which way. It didn't help that the host was allowed to sell stuff immediately outside the exit. This place needs to get their act together with the flow of people or it's going to be a miserable experience...

We decided to take in a showing of Leonid and Friends at the State Theatre in Modesto (if you've not heard of Leonid and Friends, they are a Russian musical group who primarily plays covers of the band Chicago but also performs some EW&F tunes). It was a long drive for us but well worth it. The theater is in downtown Modesto and holds about 550 guests in the main section. In addition to the regular seating, there are open areas for those with disabilities. The theater had good acoustics and the seats were comfortable. In the foyer, the theater sold candy, popcorn, drinks and adult beverages. Restrooms were clean and the foyer was decorated for Christmas. I liked the feel of the theater. It reminded of my younger days, attending our local theater for concerts, movies, and other shows. My wife and I had a great time and really enjoyed the show and...
