Hemet Theatre Reviews

 It was too bad that one of the concession registers did not work. It created a long line for people, and seemed to delay the start of the concert as people were late in getting to their seats. Otherwise, very good!

 Enjoy most events. Had problems with the wrestling shows and was offended by your security guard who got caught up with the performers and fashioned a penis out of balloons that were being bounced around and pumped them at a few people. He was very inappropriate that evening. Since then we haven’t seen any of that kind of behavior from him.

 I was surprised to see no musical instruments or live band for this event.

 i have been coming for years the only thing that is a issue is the prices on the snacks are high

 Love old time theaters!

 I have been in Hemet over 45 years and I have never been let down at the wonderful exciting Historic Hemet Theatre. Thanks to all the volunteers who support all the events. Whootie whooooo, so much fun. 🤠

 The volume was way too loud

 Great friendly staff!

 Staff was really cool and everyone was helpful. The sound for the show was absolutely awesome! Really well done. Old school spotlights were funky but fun. The fog machine was also pretty rad. Dance floor in front of the stage is really big so there was plenty of room. I missed a glass bottle of beer, don't like cans, but I guess the reason for that is obvious. Overall had a great time, and would love to go again. Parking behind the theater was easy too.

 From staff to stage a huge thank you to The Historic Hemet Theatre. A very special thank you to Catie Stanley for working with the Rock and Roll Dungeon Podcast and making this night electric. -Justin

 The theater is always so cute! The sound from the speakers was a little sharp on the ears which isn’t the most pleasant experience.

 I liked it very fun little theater

 Everyone was very friendly

 My wife Joanne and I enjoyed tremendously, going back to the 70's w/ the Doobie Doubles. We enjoyed our upfront seats, close access of the dance floor, and happy to see an amazing turn out. The music and sound was great!!! It's relaxing and a lot of fun, w/ a cold beverage, listening and dancing to the group that I originally saw at the old Swing Auditorium in SB in 1975. Bring them back again!!!

 the lines for drinks were too long - It would halp to have more than 2 people working/volunteering.

 EJ and his three singers were great. The band was wonderful, a group of very professional musicians that EJ personally selected for his concert. The crowd was very engaged and this was something a little unique for Hemet.

 He was an excellent performer. Didn’t appreciate how late the show started.

 Very good show really enjoyed it

 Very enjoyable evening! Hope to see more events in the future. The theater itself is a beautiful venue.

 I loved it. I liked the way the singer went through the history of Neil's career!! His voice was very good and he sang so many of Neill's hits!! I would come again to see him!! I was actually able to hear him sing without the music drowning him out!!

 I had excited a live back up band so was disappointed and I understand the Neil Diamond tribute person was called in "last minute" and probably did the best he could.

 Apparently, the performer was a last-minute substitution. And a spirit of the show must go on. He tried his best. He was very informed in the biographical information about Neil Diamond that he supplied between songs. In fact, that was probably the best part of the performance. His singing Style was fair, but not nearly a dead ringer of diamond. His back up track was very poor, sometimes the backup singers were off, and he was not in sync with the backup.

 My wife and I were initially sad that the original "Neil Diamond" singer was unable to sing. But we appreciate that the HHT folks were able to get a replacement at the last minute. We truly enjoyed ourselves and we continue to support the HHT.

 Always feel welcome here, and it's a fun place to see a show. This band, Matchbox Twenty Too, started slowly for the first few songs. However, they got into the groove and only became stronger as they moved from song to song. I would recommend seeing them.

 They were very good

 Enjoyed the music, group and crowd both had a lot of energy and as they say a good time was had by all. Selection of songs covered was very good, especially leading into the second half of the show, very good! However I was disappointed with the decrease in attendance as compared to other shows we have attended. Again a very good , fun but smaller crowd.

 The best show ever!!!

 I've attended many concerts at the Theatre. This is the first one where the sound was too loud. The singer's voice and piano were distorted by being too loud.

 Fun event, the audio needs work

 The BEST Billy Idol out there! Sound, look, accent SPOT ON! Hope to see him back there soon!

 Overall it was really fun! But 2 glaring issues: 1, they opened really late. I get that the bands etc. weren't ready. But why not let people in to have a beer, chat etc? I stood around 30 min and finally just went to a local bar & came back later. 2, the event was totally different than the description! If I'd known there was more than 1 band I would have brought friends, rented a motel, something so I could have stayed much later. Was really bummed to leave.

 The night was electric and there could not have been a better place to hold the event! Thank you

 Loved it! Would love to see the theater showing more classic year-round.

 loved it loved the experience hope to see more movies like this

 Please keep doing the Halloween movie specials it was fun and we hope you have Christmas specials and Thanksgiving movies

 The bandneas terrible. Nowhere close to the original. No background graphics made the experience worse.

 Band for very good

 Great Show, Great Songs, Lots of AZ/DZ Energy! hope to see them again!

 Great music

 Same as 2024: It was fabulous. The group was amazingly authentic. Fantastic Talent. Only regret for the season is that the equally authentic and talented "Queen Nation" will not be at HHH!

 Loved it

 It was awesome! We're looking forward to more events like this!

 This was a great Fleetwood Mac Tribute band. Sound was excellent for the theater size. Good refreshments and drinks. Some theater seats should be replaced and restrooms should be upgraded. Overall a fantastic experience.

 I would definitely go see them again.

 An amazing concert with comfortable seating and amazing volunteers. Thank you Hemet theater.

 great time Brent Payne come back

 Overall very enjoyable event. Sound could have been better.

 The tribute band was middle of the road not the best but entertaining. 1st set was good 2nd set was not so great songs played weren’t familiar.

 Had a great time. Fun venue. Good music.

 great band. Played for almost 3hrs. Really fun.

 We had a great time singing and dancing. Super fun for all in attendance. The band was great and fun. I can’t dance but I had to try.

 Gave alot of history to Willie’s life in music Enjoyed his voice and the band was right didn’t overwhelm him

 Wonderful to hear their music but the sound system ( maybe theirs?) made it hard to hear them at times.

 Relaxing and entertaining. Such a fun night! I admire the men - carrying on such a notable group. The harmony was beautiful! I especially appreciated all the U.S. history and enthusiasm for America! The volume could have been up abit on the vocal and bass mics.

 The concert overall, was very good! BUT the sound was bad! People all around us were complaining. It was hard to hear the voices and the music. After intermission, it got a little better, but not good for a concert hall. The AC was sketchy also. But we will be back

 We had a great time!

 The Trio were great, lots of patter to explain why they were not a tribute band but true "descendants" of the originals. Very enjoyable show, only marred by the heat and the sound issues mentioned above.

 First time at this theater. From the moment we walked in to the time we left, everything was wonderful. The staff was cheerful, friendly, and helpful. Comfortable seats, good sound.The performance was great. Loved every minute of it! Will be back again to experience this little gem of a theater.

 Loved the songs. Great performance!

 The Kingston Trio were sooo awesome.😀

 it was good at first and then a bunch of theater kids came in and basically took over..not enough time for everyone to sing.

 It was okay, could have been better.

 The musical performance was well worth the ticket price. And the audience was priceless, with the dancing, and some people even wore 1960's style clothing.

 Very good

 Great time, positive energy 👍🏽

 Great event. Never been there before. So much fun. Wil definitely go back. Dance floor right up front. People so friendly.

 He did a great job of singing

 My friend and I really loved it! The band was great! The lead man was excellent!! I could close my eyes an it's just like Elton John was singing, I would love to see them again. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves!!!

 getting in was very easy and we parked right outside! no half mile walk! everybody was having a great time. it was more like a big family event. really nice!

 Great singer!

 Bad band period.

 Great value and venue

 Journey USA blew my socks off they were so good. I never imagined to hear sounds like that in our local theater. I will definitely be following this band and going to more of their performances.

 They had a great shoe and worked the crowd to a full dance floor!

 Good group. I would attend the event again.

 Journey USA is a must see band. Incredible performance. Great vocals 🎵🎵🎵

 awesome concert. The only distraction is the attendees dancing on the dance which blocks the performers. We were sitting in row 3 which is what I am writing about. All in all a great concert.

 The presentation for this event was excellent the videos that were played before some of the songs were entertaining and brought back many memories of that time period.

 Great!

 It was a great show. Staff is always great. The atmosphere was amazing. I would definitely come see them again.

 My friends and I had a great time and the music and the band was also great.

 If you love great dance music then you have to go. It was outstanding. The dance floor was full.

 Just huge fun. What a happening band and great memories. And I’m very glad that it’s not a typical seated event and that there is a designated dance floor, which they encourage you to use. A great time!

 It was a good vibe, love the music, loved the people having a groovy trip back in time, hope to see them again.

 First time seeing this band! The music was great! Very high energy band! Great visuals!

 1969 Tribute is an amazing band! Saw them last year at the Hemet Theatre and they were even better this year 👏🏻 Enjoy the whole experience very much. The food trucks outside is a nice addition.

 AWESOME BAND! great music

 Phenomenal

 This event was excellent! The band was great! After the event the singer was such a sweetheart and he came up to me and asked me how I enjoyed this show. That was a great heartfelt feeling. Thank you led Zeppelin for coming to the Hemet theater. I hope you come back soon.

 Loved Led Zeppelin

 Awesome !!! A fun night for us !!! Thank you to everyone !!!

 Loved it! Great show!

 I need to get my jaw wired shut, it hung open for the whole event. The tribute band was phenomenal. The singer was…. WOW. The bass player was are you kidding me, spectacular. The drummer was so fun and the 2nd guitar and keyboard guy nailed it. I’m going to follow them to their next close event. The house was rocking.

 Just ok.. Not really too thrilled overall.

 Way too loud. They lacked musicality and tried to make up for it in volume. Very disappointed. A couple of good songs. My group left at intermission.
