A very beautiful old theater, celebrating 100 years. The architecture is amazing. The sightlines are all good no matter where you sit. The acoustic are good. I can't wait to come to more shows here.

About Elsinore Theatre
The Artistic Center of Salem
Since its completion, The Elsinore Theatre has attracted audiences from across the region to rich entertainment. Silent cinema, vaudeville, drama, Mickey Mouse Club meetings, big-production dance shows, talkies, music, and community events — all shared this stage; extending our reputation for quality. After too many years languishing as a mere movie palace, The Elsinore has reclaimed its rightful place as the cultural and artistic Center of Salem. Reputation
What people are saying
We watched the Glenn Miller Orchestra here in March 2026. The building is an architectural beauty. The balcony is good seating to see the entire stage, especially rows A and B, however there is very little leg room in that area. You can get snacks in the lobby. Buy your tickets directly from the Elsinore website to avoid fees.
I love the Elsinore Theatre. The phrase "They just don't make 'em like they used to." Comes to mind when I sit in a majestic theater building that turns 100 years old next month. Words of warning if you have any mobility issues or are "wider" than a 5 year old. The balcony is many steps and weirdly made with alternating very deep then very short depth steps then no handrail for the last part going to the top. The theater seats are vintage and about a foot wide with fixed armrests. So if any of those factors are a potential issue, pay for the lower seats. But if you want to experience a theater that was built before the Great Depression and imagine seeing "Ramona" starring Delores Del Rio, it's hard to beat this place. The decor is something out of King Arthur's era and that's worth the price alone. Visually, there's no bad seats or obstructed view.
