This theatre has so much character and uniqueness. It is an old theatre that has been updated. The bathrooms need a little more updating though. I have seen about 15 plays there through the years. The actors and stage are excellent. Only once did we see a musical that was pretty boring. They also have a "childrens theatre". Fun plays and musicals that both kids and parents love.

The VanAndel Arena is a great place to watch a concert, ice hockey, arena football or any other event that comes to town. It is a huge arena that seats 15,000 and the transformation that takes place in between events is mind-boggling. Every time I attend an event at the arena it looks like a new place. The vendors carry awesome food and the arena is located in central downtown for easy access. Parking costs and food costs can get hefty so plan ahead.

The Van Andel arena is an excellent place for concerts and sporting events. The sound is excellent and there is not a bad set in the whole arena! The concession stands are pricey but there is a large assortment of food and drinks. The security is well trained and polite. While the Van Andel offers no parking, there are plenty of parking lots and garages close by. After the Van Andel, you can go and hang out at one of the many bars and night clubs within walking distance!

This string quartet performs regularly for Grand Rapids "Festival". Their performances usually surround a theme and last over an hour. A very talented group based in Grand Rapids would work well in any venue and occasion. They are professionals who do a great job of bringing to life a wide variety of music by different composers and styles.

I appreciate that the owners of the Wealthy Theatre are keeping it around and maintaining it for the good of the community. Whoever renovated it did a great job and I am glad that such an old theatre could be preserved for at least this generation. It's a great building.
I also like that they do community events and things to bring people together. They hosted a kind of independent musical there (although I didn't go I heard great things) and frequently host community events/meetings.
However, I really miss the $2 second-run movies that they used to show. Grand Rapids used to have a few second-run movie theatres, then it was just the Wealthy Theatre, and now there are none. This is very unfortunate. I think that second-run theatres would be a great use of the facility if they would only market them better. It can hold many people and would be a great way to get kids in off the streets in a cheap manner. We moved to the neighborhood 3 years ago when they were still doing these movies, and really had a great time - and also liked the fact that we were supporting our community.
I think that Wealthy Theatre could be at the top of its game if it brought back cheap second-run movies.
