Chevalier Theatre Specs-
Seat Layout
Click here to RENT the Chevalier Theatre for your event!
There are 2,061 seats in the house -- 1,350 on the house floor and 711 in the grand curved balcony. Everything in the house is designed around its elliptical shape -- the stage, balcony and orchestra pit. Even the inner walls of the building are curved, making the inside of the theater a type of round peg in a square hole because the outside of the theater is rectangular!
The curvature gives the house a tremendous feeling of openness and spaciousness. It also enhances the sound in the house, as there are few square corners or angles to create "standing waves". This brilliant design makes a theatre that is exceptional, both visually and aurally.
