Paramount Theatre

It’s been a long time since I was last here. I was surprised when I came here last night to watch Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the whole building looks very modern on the inside. Theater was very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. At the concessions, they had Charlie and the Chocolate Factory themed drinks and they were moderately priced. I had H 22 and 24, I didn’t realize how close we were to the stage. The seats are kind of tight, not a lot of legroom. The musical had very talented actors, theatrical production was high quality, just looking at all of those set pieces, and musical performances were well coordinated. Parking, you can either do valet for like $13-20 or go to a nearby parking garage and pay like $3-4

We love the paramount. The atmosphere the custom drinks for each show. The sets are beautiful the atmosphere is wonderful. It’s like going to Chicago, without the hassle and free or very cheap parking! :)

The best local theatre with spectacular shows. Saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in December. It was well worth every penny. Brought me back to my childhood and seeing it on TV. The actors were spot on and fit their roles perfectly. The singing,dancing and vibrant stage sets made it magical in my imagination! The firetrucks arrived at the end of the show, we think someone pulled a fire alarm. We didn’t miss anything. Great theatre!

Was a pleasure to be able to visit such a delightful theater! The show was fantastic, the atmosphere was magical, and it was everything I’d hoped it would be. The parking was in walking distance of the building. The restrooms were very clean and they have an elevator and other favorable accommodations for people with potential disabilities. The concessions were lovely and the cast was top tier!

Fantastic theatre and performance. The theatre itself is beautiful and upkept perfectly. They do have a bar that offers treats (m&ms, stuffed pretzels, cookies)and alcohol but food is not allowed within the theatre, whereas drinks are. The seats were comfortable and roomy, so you didn't feel sore after a performance and that you weren't on top of the person next to you.
The performance was excellent, and we saw Little Shop of Horrors. The cast was everything we could have hoped for, great singing and acting, and the props were top-notch.
We loved it so much we bought tickets for our next show that night.
Thanks, Paramount!

We are advid theater goers. We currently have or had subscription series at Goodman, Chicago Shakespeare, Marriott and have visited many many others over decades. Paromount is aces for many reasons. The staff is 5 stars whether it's a ticket question or pouring you a drink customer interaction is warm, friendly, professional and genuine. I enjoy their souvenirs. Yes that sounds silly, but outside of the Broadway series downtown I find memorabilia to be lacking. If I like a show I like a magnet, t shirt or a themed item like a Wonka Chocolate bar to smile on for awhile and the prices are respectable. The theater itself is just grand. It's a huge space with gorgeous tapestries on the wall and an opulant ceiling that rivals the best spaces in Chicagoland. Parking is sooo easy to find and productions are constantly up for Jeff Awards. Are you sick of hauling your suburban cookies through unpredictable traffic and outrageous parking prices to scratch your theater itch?You owe it to yourself to give Aurora Paramount and Copley center a chance!!

Broadway as well as both theater subscribers. The Paramount and Coakley never fail to impress. I make at least two trips a year to Broadway to see shows. I can honestly say that the casting sets lighting and design of the productions performed at the theater many times are equal to or better than what I’ve seen in New York at a much more affordable price. The staff is absolutely incredible and helpful. The only complaint I have is the parking attendance or valet service, who are downright rude and ignorant. She knows who I am talking about if she read this. Other than that I would not fail to ever see a production here. The theater is clean comfortable, and the staff of ushers and management are extremely great!!

I cannot overstate how surprised I was at the exceptionally high quality of the entire Little Shop of Horrors production. The performances were flawless, the set was absolutely stunning, and the theatre itself is exquisite.

You cannot go wrong with a subscription to Paramount. Excellent, high quality shows from the casts, costumes, sets, make up, orchestra to the friendly and helpful box office staff and ushers. I think we are on our 5th year of being subscribers and can't wait for next year's shows! And at $170 for the season, you cannot beat the price! Bravo, Paramount. Bravo!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.!! The choreography, set, actors, management, staff, props, etc. Do not miss this show!!

Attended our first production at the Paramount in Aurora. The building has historical significance as it is approximately 100 years old. Building was remodeled but kept the history. We saw Into the Woods, which we really enjoyed. Theater is large with ornate walls and ceilings. Theater is well known for having high level productions.
We went on a Sunday afternoon, parked about six blocks away for free. Tickets were $55.00 which gave us seats in about the middle of the theater. Loved our experience here and will be back.

I love the paramount! They always have the best shows. It’s so worth it. They also have the best themed drinks for their shows

Theater was beautiful. Ran efficiently. Lines weren't long for entry. Valet was super smooth. Ushers were helpful. And Little Shop of Horrors was an amazing play! So good, my friend went back to see it again 3 days after we did. I'll definitely be looking out for future events here.

We have loved every production we've seen at the Paramount. The quality is great and you don't have to travel downtown Chicago. Parking is easy and fairly cheap, and there are restaurants around to eat before or after the show.

It was not my favorite musical, but the actors did a phenomenal job. The seats are roomy and staggered. The theater is very pretty.

The place is huge! Better than chicago downtown Theaters?well,better parking, definitely coming back .

Paramount Theatre is a gorgeous and historical theatre. The inside is beautiful with great friendly staff. My friend and I went and saw Rock of Ages and it was a super fun and amazing show! The performers did a great job and put on a fun show that got the whole crowd dancing. This is the perfect spot for a date night or night out with friends. It is super easy to get to with convenient and easy parking. I will definitely be going back for another show in the future!

Really love this place! And the productions here are always top notch! Seating is great except when a tall person sits in front of you. Yikes!
Went to see Into the Woods and it was really great!!
I live in Chicago, so driving to this theater is a drive but it's a very nice drive once you get past the city limit.

I have always loved the shows here before, my family does too. The improvements made are great, the show selection fun. The safety features in place due to covid are very much appreciated. Keep up the great work and thank you for a wonderful evening.

I can't say enough wonderful things about the Paramount Theater! The shows are amazing, the building is beautiful, the prices are affordable, and I love the live orchestra that accompanies each performance.
I definitely recommend taking advantage of this gem in downtown Aurora.
