Capitol Theatre, Michigan, United States

Wonderful, intimate venue
I wanted to see Styx again (live in Chicagoland) and the closest they played was in Flint at the Capitol Theatre. I'd never been to Flint, let alone this venue and I pleasantly surprised with what I found. It is a restored, classic theatre with nice sidelines, a friendly staff, and relatively close parking. Another nice aspect was the area - even post-show, I felt safe walking down a block to my parking spot. Seating is nice - seats are a little wider and the floor is slightly angled up and gives each seat a decent view. As is typical, people are friendly in smaller cities and I was not disappointed with Flint and the Capitol Theatre. I'd go back in a heartbeat, if the option presents.

Paradise Theater
I can't help but think of the Styx Album Cover for the Album "Paradise Theater". This place once again looks like the front cover (Brand new) rather than the derelict back of the album (like a few years ago). The interior and exterior of the Capitol Theater have been fully restored. Actually, this place is now better than new because of the new technology added such as a Christie projector and a brand new sound and lighting system. There are new elevators in the lobby which will take you to the new "black-box" theater in the basement where smaller events can be held (seating for about 200). The premiere show "A Classy Brassy Christmas" was excellent. I hope that future shows will be equally spectacular. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND a visit the to the new, reborn Capitol Theater in downtown Flint. The Capitol Theater is located near the new Flint Farmer's Market and is West of the MTA Bus Terminal and is across the street from the excellent Table & Tap restaurant and brew-house.

Nice Place
It is beautiful inside, a small Detroit Fox Theater. The seating is very tight as far as leg room. There is not any leg room your knees will touch the seat.in front and you must get up to let others pass to their seats, i should say get up and move out to the aisle. If you are short you may can stand to let someone pass. If you are tall and or have a healthy build the seats may be a little tight, but have great cushion. The better seats are towards the front in the larger single chairs near stage. The parking is what it is for downtown parking, so consider a good walk or valet if available. It is great to see it open and still has the classy historical look. Oh and arrive early when doors open for parking reasons.
