"First time guest. Parking was nearby and easy although the garage wasn't free. The location is ready to get to. The venue had quick entry. Inside is very nice. The sounds was very good as was the lighting. Seats were surprisingly comfortable. Overall, it was a fantastic visit and event. I would absolutely go back again."
"Gorgeous theatre and a great show with Lewis Black. Leaving was a bit cramped due to all the turns and stairs (I was in the LOGER) but that's a pretty minor thing. I also used the valet service and they were great too. Very quick to get my car and leave after the show."
"Intimate, Totally restored to its original look inside. The carpet was cushioned & bathrooms updated, easy to get in and out. The view from the main floor was good. If you're in the first rows you'll have an up and close view. I recommend the first 15 rows. But anything after was nice too. Parking garage directly across the street for easy in/out. Lines for the drinks at the bar are long, the trick is to go to the upper floors for shorter lines. Before the show they have a few restaurants withing walking distance. I ate after the show at a brewery BBQ place next to the garage."
"The Genesee theater is a beautiful old style theater. Seats are comfortable and good view of the stage from any area. There is a parking garage one street away that charged $10. Not much to see in downtown Waukegan so it is easy to get the theater with no traffic"
"Good venue with good sound. It is a beautiful old theater with plenty to appreciate. It being an older theater, I found the seats a bit on the small side and was rubbing elbows with people on either side. Seat was also not completely comfortable for the duration of the 90 minute show."
