Or we would have to really kind of rework how we would manage the event if they say it's open but you've got to maintain the social distancing.". If they'll need to maintain social distance at a show that has already sold out, they're not yet sure how that will work. Many Celebrity customers called expressing worry in the days leading up to the first show the venue rescheduled — Gladys Knight. For Rich Hazelwood, the Celebrity Theatre is more than an important part of Phoenix music history. "We have to balance that with the overall safety of that same staff, our patrons, performing artists and the community," he said. "But we would certainly recommend it to all patrons as we navigate opening up again.". This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. If you are going to bring a drink, hide it on your person or in a zipped part of your bag, they may not find it, if they do, it will be confiscated. "They're telling us, 'We're older,' 'We're not supposed to go out,' or 'We're immunocompromised. They can't book new tours until the industry at large reopens. All in all a good experience and had a great time. "There's some people that took an economic hit through this whole thing," Dougherty said. From Your Friends at Celebrity Theatre: We would like to thank all of our patrons for your patience and understanding during this global crisis. The seats area comfortable and roomie for being folding chairs. With regard to face masks, Dougherty said staff would be required to wear them and any other necessary personal protective equipment, like gloves, depending on the person's job. This venue is not only a cramped death trap but it should've been imploded years ago. And how will the recession caused by shutting down the country impact ticket sales? "We're looking at whether we could have two performances on one date or two performances on back-to-back dates and reallocate tickets based on safe, socially distanced seating," Dougherty said. "The concern then would be getting people into the building and out of the building with that social distancing.". Shows previously booked though early September were rescheduled or postponed with one exception. The seating is great as the stage revolves and the sound is one of the greatest. Review tags are currently only available for English language reviews. "But all it takes is a couple people who don't take it seriously and they want to sit where they want to sit. "If the rest of the country hasn't yet, that doesn't make an economically feasible way to tour.". Parking is tight and exiting tedious, but we stayed overnight at a nearby hotel and Ubered to the theater. "And as you know, Rich loves that venue," Dougherty said. The sound was great. Hazelwood said they're eager to meet his goal of having the Celebrity reopen in September. Once on the street we waited ANOTHER 15 minutes for one guy to turn left. Another issue is that the venue often features legacy acts who tend to draw older crowds. The revolving stage means most seats (unless blocked by a pillar or wall) are really good. It brings people together. But it's more complicated than that. The 6-foot rule would drastically reduce capacity to what Dougherty figures is 20%. "People miss that," she said. Since the music venue opened as the Star Theatre in 1964 with "South Pacific," the 2,650-capacity theater in the round has hosted such iconic artists as Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Van Halen and Janelle Monae. "I can't pay my employees. ", MORE VENUES: Indie music venues are uniting across the country. The sound was great. Then, you've gotta have the staff to handle that.". He'd love to see that stage back up and rotating as soon as possible. It was a great concert and I love concerts at this theater in the round. Then there's the challenge of getting concertgoers to cooperate. The mid/upper level seats are very narrow, however, and not particularly comfortable. Honestly, with all of the venues available in the greater Phoenix area, this is the one that I least enjoy aside from going down town to the Talking Stick arena where it's nothing but a world class cluster f^ck.Worn out, small seats, sometimes the stage rotates, some times it doesn't, cranky performers not happy with the sound system (Johnny Rivers and Frankie Valli) just a high priced and quite obvious atmosphere of "jamb them in and rip them off".The Celebrity has seen better days and there just doesn't seem to be any left.
