Beautiful venue for concerts! Staff was fairly nice and helpful. Anywhere you sit, you’ll have a nice view which is a plus! Parking was super easy. You can either park for free at the nearby library, across the street for $5 or the theatre’s parking lot for $10. We chose the parking lot across the street, a little closer for when we had to walk in the dark, which was a plus. I’d love to come back for another concert here!

Very much enjoyed the venue. Its smaller than the Akron Civic theater. its a very intimate setting but the sound was good. Saw I Lindsey Buckingham and really really enjoyed it. The acoustics were solid. I would see a show there again. There were some solif nearby choices to eat. Went to the Asian bistro nearby and their menu options were very very good.

Canton Palace Theatre was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

Im giving it a 3 because we saw Bret michaels here he was awesome .. but this place has the worse set up ever the second you walk into the door you are right on top of the concessions and drink area .. then to the left they had the merchandise set up no organization stuff thrown everywhere and the line was actually blocking us from getting to our seats. Canton Palace get it together you fill the place up but make it hard on people to enjoy .. Brett tell them to fix it lol we love watching you sing

This is an amazing place to visit. Most of the times I was there was when my father and I would go to watch the battle of magicians every year. The atmosphere of the theatre is breathtaking. It has been an amazing place to visit. Lots of history in there. Looking forward to more visits.

I never pass up an opportunity to visit this perfectly named and exceptionally beautiful building. It is a piece of Canton history that truly shines with the glory of the downtown heyday. The painstaking work that has gone into maintaining this theater is clear from the facade to the seats and stage. Never a disappointment.

Newer to the area and decided The Rocky Horror Halloween event would be a fantastic first time visit. Boy was I right had the time of my life. Beautiful theater, over the top staffing, and a hoot of a time for a packed house! From the fun prop bags to the wonderful concession and beverage area it exceeded expectation. I will surely be back in the very near future. Thank you Canton Palace Theater for a truly great film experience.

As a local who’s been to the Palace countless times I normally have a good experience. A few of us went out to see something here and had intended on sitting in the balcony. The balcony wasn’t yet open so we waited around for probably 20 minutes before eventually we decided to ask a staff member if there even was plans to open it. We saw two security guards and an older man in a Palace uniform. We approached one of the security guards as they didn’t seem to be involved in the conversation with the other and the palace employee. The fact is this employee deemed it necessary to almost yell at us like children and tell us to “wait a minute” while practically shooing us away when we didn’t even approach him. We approached someone who seemed to be not be in the conversation and could possibly answer a simple question but instead practically got yelled at by someone we werent even speaking to. For someone who appears to be in a management position he really didn’t act like it. Additionally we saw him have a similar interaction with another group of patrons. I will make mention that we were some of the last people there and the mentioned security guard was closing up and was pretty friendly and polite.Editing to update that I was here for the Rocky Horror Event. I get working in a stressful and busy environment, trust me, but that’s also not an excuse to basically yell at multiple customers and treat them like children when all they wanted was balcony seating.

Nice old theater to see Dream Theater! This was my first time at this theater and I was really impressed! Room sounded great. Of course Dream Theaters sound man is probably top notch, but doesnt take anything away from the room acoustics. We sat in the last row UNDER the balcony and there wasnt any boominess or echoing. Sound was tight and solid. I wont hesitate to see another show there. Im sold!

Beautiful theater and one of the most extraordinary places to visit in Downtown Canton. I love watching movies and live shows here... and I still love watching the clouds move across the sky. Prices are reasonable and they always have something for everyone. Love the Palace.

When they say, They dont make them like this any more, The Canton Palace Theatre, is what they are referring to. Beautiful architecture and charmingly adorned. Seating is comfortable, but not made for modern Americans. The shows and concerts here are on par with theaters in larger cities.

We love the Palace. It is so much fun coming to this beautiful theater to see movies and shows. The people are always great, the organ performance before every show is fun, and there is just something special about being in such an awesome building.

Worth the 9 hour drive. We have never seen a historic theatre like this one. Staff and volunteers were so nice, helpful and knowledgeable of this treasure that was 2 weeks away from a wrecking ball. Cantin and Ohio residents obviously know how to preserve what is valuable. We would absolutely,make the drive again for the Palace Theatre experience. Not to be missed for film lovers and historic theatre aficionados! 5 stars!!

Lovely building and it appears youre able to see from anywhere (view not obstructed but bring binoculars if youre far away from stage).Not sure how Ushers are compensated but they really werent very helpful. They didnt assist w/ finding seat and there were people sitting on the stairs, blocking ease of entry.

Review №66

Great place to come and bronf you family, kids, grandkids enjoy some popcorn, listening to the old time organ and see a movie. Check out first Fridays! Tonight March of the Penguins. You may have see it at home but have you seen it on a big screen complete with comfortable seating and a 1920s theater? Well worth the trip! Why not make it a tradition?

The Canton Palace Theatre is an elegant place from an era long since past. It is not just a place to see a play, movie, or personality, but it is an experience. From the ceiling that looks like the night sky rolling clouds included, to the ornate lights and outcroppings, the theatre is a great show in itself. Speaking of shows, the music that fills the air from the person playing the organ that appears from beneath the stage adds to the adventure. I highly recommend going there

Wonderful show and beautiful theater. Seating is very tight so keep that in mind!My boyfriend and I went to the 90’s country concert on 2/21/19 and sat in the balcony. We could see everyone great and the sound was awesome! Would definitely go back to see any performer there again!

Review №74

Beautiful place but the bar situation is terrible! 1 upstairs, 1 downstairs for some reason they close they bar upstairs less than halfway through the show, so if you want a beer you have to wait in a super long line downstairs that has 2 servers so youll miss alot of your show just trying to get a beer, it shouldnt be that difficult... not a good setup at all

Review №75

If was an amazing setting for a band concert. I love the old look. The sound was amazing. The seats werent as comfy as you found find in other theaters, but its an old theater. It has an up to date pay system for the concession, which enabled me to pay using my phone. It was clean and was being kept up as the night progressed. I enjoyed it simply as that. They have movies there too.

Review №76

Really cool place. This was my first time visiting and I thought it was awesome how they have kept all the historical details. While it was a little chilly (they were having some boiler issues) staff made sure everyone was aware so they could keep jackets with them if they wanted. Love first Friday movies here cant wait to see another one.

Review №77

Nice place but HORRIBLE service! Make you wait forever to get in to get through security for a 3/4 empty show. Bought front row balcony but moved down to last row floor, could have bought those tickets for half the price. Picked out and paid for front row balcony for a reason. And they couldnt even try to apologize for it.

Gorgeous gem of an historic theater. Our favorite feature was the mesmerizing cloud display on the ceiling. Dont expect big comfy seats, drink holders, or the best sound and picture quality. We love this place for its architecture, history, and sense of community.

Nutcracker Performance 8 December 7:30 pm. Full house, Not enough Ushers or signs to find seats. When seats were found someone was in them. Usher took a while to rectify issue. Performance well under way when we got our seats that cost $259.00 for 4 seats in the last row of the upper balcony. Isles not adequately lit, poor/no hand rails, several of us had difficulty in the dark, even after performance lights were not turned on sufficiently to see steps to exit, surprised no one was hurt tripping in the dark.

Ive been here a handful of times and i swear it just gets more beautiful each time i go. They host a annual anime fest, (which i attended earlier today) they had venders and showed spirited away in the theater, stunning would be a good word to describe the experience. Ive seen plays here too which are always a delight. All in all i would recommend to stop by if youre ever in canton.

Review №86

Good, some not so great.The artists weve seen have have been great.The venue is beautiful and intimate, but you have to know what to expect. Bring cash if you want anything. No credit or debit purchases - we wanted shirts, lost income for the artist, no ATM, not for a couple blocks. Also a no photo rule that isnt posted at the door, or announced. And its only partially enforced. I guess know ahead so you arent the one caught. Alcohol is sold there (cash only), and there may be some who indulge and are loud and rude. Im not sure why THAT is not stopped, but snapping a pic is?

I absolutely adore the Palace Theatre, I think its so neat that theyre still up and running it. Ive only ever been on First Friday events, where its free to come, however I would absolutely pay to see a movie there. The inside is absolutely stunning, and they often has an organ player before the movies, an experience you dont want to miss.

I love the history of this place! The inside is gorgeous and well kept. I always loved going there on field trips as a child, and I have taken my kids there for several movies.
