We saw Peter Pan! Excellent experience! Amazingly helpful and friendly staff AND actors who actually met with the kids after the play to answer questions and have photos taken! Incredible experience!
Great shows the entire season. Every seat has a great view.
Productions are generally of high quality and the actors are very strong. Some new plays are better than others, but it is a delightful adventure to see a new show. My wife and I are subscribers.
Theater is configured well and seats are all good. We take our kids to the children's shows every year and it's been great exposure to Theater for them. Most of the shows I've seen here are pretty good.
It's been years since I last went to the Arden but I'm so glad I went back. Every show there is a true treasure. Part of it is the layout of the theaters; they're wonderfully designed to fully immerse the audience in the performance. The performers are definitely the best part though.
There's a certain quality about the performers at the Arden that I can't quite put my finger on but they put on the best shows in town. It's the little things about the performances that will stick with you forever. I still remember like it was yesterday when Erronius was jogging between the sections of chairs counting his laps in the 2006 performance of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Likewise, I'm sure a decade down the line I'll still remember the Emcee coming around to hold hands with audience members and the other stars of the Kit Kat Club coming around to chat (in character) before the show Cabaret began.
If you haven't been to the Arden yet or if you've been away a while like I was, I urge you to go. It's an experience not to be missed!
I absolutely loved the play Urine Town it was great! I would definitely visit this place again.
Small theatre in Olde City Philly. Excellent productions, fine casts. There is parking around, but it can get tight on weekends.
I took a quick trip to the theater while in town and found this to be a fantastic experience! So well done! My Uber dropped me off at the Arden Theater building down the block so be careful about finding your way to the actual theater down just a block. Worth the trip!
Very nice theater. All seats are good. Sounds is excellent. Shows are great.
Brought AP Literature class to production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at The Arden Theatre. Top notch performance. Laugh out loud show. Really creative use of music. Plus the cast stayed after to answer questions. A+ experience.
Went here on a school trip with my daughter today, to see The Frog and The Toad. It was such an amazing performance. The actors were great and had us laughing and singing along the entire show!! I will definitely be back again to see another play, this time with my family!! The cost was very reasonable too!!
