点评:We did a day trip from Houston and met family from San Antonio to see John Cusack at the Paramount. Fantastic show and theatre - loved both! He had another show in Houston but we love the intimacy of the Paramount (1200 people versus 5000), so decided the drive was worth it. Last time we came (Aug 2022 to see a comedian) the show was supposed to start at 7pm but started well after that. This time, the show was supposed to start at 8pm and surprisingly it actually started on time. The difference may be live performer versus seeing a movie followed by Q&A. If you sit in the upper levels or Balcony, when you exit - to avoid the crowds and lobby - go up to the top and take the exits to the outer stairwells - which will exit you directly to the street (then turn left to head to the parking garage). Buy your parking voucher at the Box Office or if you plan to buy a drink or water, you can get the parking voucher at one of the bars. If you buy water, ask for a cup of ice. Regarding tickets, by the time we bought ours a couple days before the show, the only ones available were Row T in the Upper Balcony. No problems watching the movie from that height but I wish we were closer for the Q&A with John Cusack. Even so, it was still a cool experience. Based on other reviews I was worried the seats would be too cramped - but they were fine for our group of 4 (height ranging from 5’10 to 5’0”). Be forewarned, the stairs are steep and there are a couple spots without handrails, so be careful about tripping. Knowing this I still wore heels and was fine. As others have said, given this is an old theatre, the seats are small and the space between the rows is pretty narrow. If you have long legs or knee problems, you may want seats on the aisle. Our tickets were directly in the middle so people had to stand for us when we exited to use the restroom before the show started. Street parking using the meter was a little over $5 an hour so the $10 parking offer (for the whole evening) in 600 Congress was a great deal. The garage is very tight with fairly narrow parking spaces and very low ceilings so keep that in mind when deciding what to drive. To access the garage, you need to be in the right lane. As you drive in, take a parking ticket, then purchase a voucher at the box office or bar. You will feed both tickets into the machine when you exit. After 5pm, you can park on any floor as long as the space does not say reserved. To leave the garage and go to the theater, you will walkout through an office building. When you return, to avoid the long lines for the elevators in the office building, you can walk up the same entrance ramp you entered when you drove in. Overall, a fabulous evening and look forward to returning!
翻译:我们从休斯敦出发进行了一日游,并与来自圣安东尼奥的家人见面,去派拉蒙看约翰·库萨克。精彩的表演和戏剧——都喜欢!他在休斯敦还有另一场演出,但我们喜欢派拉蒙影院的亲密感(1200 人和 5000 人),所以认为开车是值得的。上次我们来时(2022 年 8 月去看喜剧演员),演出原定晚上 7 点开始,但在那之后很久才开始。这一次,演出原定晚上八点开始,令人惊讶的是,竟然准时开始了。区别可能在于现场表演与观看电影后进行问答。如果您坐在上层或阳台,当您退出时 - 为了避开人群和大厅 - 上到顶部并从出口到外部楼梯间 - 这将直接离开您到街道(然后左转前往停车场)。在售票处购买停车券,或者如果您打算购买饮料或水,则可以在其中一间酒吧获取停车券。如果你买水,要一杯冰。关于门票,当我们在演出前几天购买门票时,唯一可用的门票是上层阳台的 T 排。从那个高度看电影没有问题,但我希望我们能更接近约翰·库萨克的问答。即便如此,这仍然是一次很酷的体验。根据其他评论,我担心座位会太局促 - 但对于我们 4 人团体(身高从 5 英尺 10 英寸到 5 英尺 0 英寸)来说还不错。预先警告一下,楼梯很陡,而且有几个地方没有扶手,所以要小心绊倒。知道这一点后我仍然穿着高跟鞋并且很好。正如其他人所说,鉴于这是一个老剧院,座位很小,排之间的空间也很窄。如果您的腿很长或膝盖有问题,您可能需要靠过道的座位。我们的票就在中间,所以当我们在演出开始前退出去洗手间时,人们不得不站着我们。使用计价表的路边停车收费为每小时 5 美元多一点,因此 600 国会大厦 10 美元的停车优惠(整个晚上)非常划算。车库非常紧张,停车位相当狭窄,天花板也很低,因此在决定开车时请记住这一点。要进入车库,您需要位于正确的车道上。当您开车进去时,请拿一张停车票,然后在售票处或酒吧购买优惠券。退出时,您将两张票放入机器中。下午5点后,只要没有注明预留空间,任何楼层都可以停车。要离开车库去剧院,您将穿过一座办公楼。当您返回时,为了避免在办公楼电梯前排长队,您可以沿着开车进入时进入的同一个入口坡道走上去。总的来说,这是一个美妙的夜晚,期待您再次光临!
