Historic Ritz Theatre, Inc

Came in with the wife and son for a showing of the movie "Clue".

Show tickets were just $5 a piece. There's a free parking garage about 200 feet around the corner. Super convenient since we aren't familiar with the area.

Very cute entrance. They scanned our tickets (phone) and then we were good to go. They had a room for concessions to the left of the entrance and (clean) bathrooms at the bottom of the stairs.

Fresh popcorn, candy, snacks, beer, wine, and a full bar was available. They had a movie themed cocktail to go with Clue called "The Professor plum sake Manhattan". The signature drink was $8 (and very strong. Like one of the strongest drinks I've ever tasted). Beer was $6 a piece or $25 for a bucket. Pretty fair when combined with the low cost of entry.

The theatre was cute and comfy. Card tables and chairs spread throughout the different levels. More comfortable than I expected (seat cushions). The tables were draped in black cloth with fun little electric candles. They had the lights down low, so it made the whole room feel romantic and relaxing.

Good mix of older folk, people on dates, and families spread out. The staff working this event were super helpful, friendly, and real. Had some fun talking about the movie and they went out of their way to make it a nice experience. At one point in the movie, I went to get more popcorn and a drink. The popcorn was still popping, but they just offered to bring it to us when it was finished.

Based on the pictures online, I was a little worried about the screen size. It was bigger than expected and honestly helps with the cozy setting.

Acoustics were a bit loud for my taste, but they were still balanced. Try not to sit by the speakers (left/right of stage) if you are sensitive to volume.

Overall, no complaints. Everyone enjoyed the show. We made the drive from Orlando because Clue is one of our family favorites. But now that we know, we'll definitely be back.

This theater was great! My wife and I had the pleasure of attending they're Music in Movies series on March 27th. The staff was very friendly and our experience was a fantastic one. It's great that they put on series like this to watch old classics. The theater it self was very clean and located in a nice part of town with nice food options around. I would definitely recommend seeing a show or movie here if you have the opportunity. I will most certainly be coming back!

Had a really great time, good seating, and everyone was very nice and professional. They were willing to help me because I have a handicap. Thinking of returning for other shows. We traveled from Tampa, it was worth it.

The place looks pretty nice inside. They have done a good job restoring it. I didn’t know about the reserve tables. That would have been nice. When to see Jim Stafford. Was very glad I did.

Great theater for a classic movie night! Wonderful staff and the concession stand was delicious. Can’t wait for the rest of the summer movie lineup!

Really nice and good for the City of Winter Haven hopefully they can survive please support the Ritz it's part of our Town

Just saw the monsters of Comedy 104.1, very nice venue clean and remodeled, snack food and drinks reasonably priced. Pretty great shows and our little hometown. Come out and support the oldest theater in Winter Haven

Saw the Pink Floyd cover band, they did a great job. The venue was nice and the seats were comfortable. Will go again.

This is such a nice theater. At times it was a little hard to hear but I think that's because of they type of microphone that was chose to be used the night I went. I would definitely go see another show at this theater.

Thanks Ritz theater for your support with the Red Tent Initiative!

Love coming here especially for the comedy improv shows. I haven't seen anything else here but I can assure you that the theater is well taken care of and they even sell snacks, which is nice. It is a pretty good sized theater for events and the sign out front is iconic. I only wish I knew why it was historic, as this is not easily explained.

First time here, a truly nice place to see a show. Handicap entrance around back puts you right in front of the stage.

Great bargain to see classic films like Indiana jones, King Kong and Mothra vs Godzilla. Snack bar is always a surprise and the staff is great. Hope I see a lot of monster movies in October!! One suggestion would be cartoons or trailers before the feature.

A delightful venue that offers amazing music performed by a broad range of gifted musicians! And, cocktails & snacks are available for guests
to enjoy.

What a FABULOUS venue for the Monsters of Comedy show. From the staff that was very helpful answering questions to the cleanliness of the refurbished theater we had a blast. Prior to going we went to the Fire Grill Restaurant for dinner. What an awesome combination. Although the show didn't start till 8 the line started forming at 7 as it was general admission seating. We purchased our tickets on line which made it very easy. There was a $2 service fee per ticket. Turns out you pay that fee weather you purchase on line or in person. We thought the price was VERY fair. The seats were comfortable and we especially liked they came with a table for those arriving early. YOU ARE GONNA LOVE THIS PLACE. Wish we were going to be in town for the May 11 comedian show.

Loved it all. Band was great. We were all happily surprised. Enjoyed the cabaret seating. Definitely fans. We'll be back. Special thanks to Beth for working with our tickets. Great gal.

The new team, coordinators are doing a fantastic job bringing a variety of shows to this beautiful theatre. They're putting The Ritz back on the map. Check out their website and get your tickets to an upcoming event.

Beautiful old theater and very well kept up. I was there for an event and from out of town, so I don't know if they do any performances there or not, but definitely would be a great venue for plays and orchestral/symphonic performances!

I love the location and setup of the Ritz. The beautiful inside decor is modern with a touch of art deco design. The seating is perfect for an intimate setting. It's not too big where you feel like just another patron and not too small where you feel like you are on stage with the performers. However; the accessibility allowed for great interaction between the performers and the audience. I had the privilege of enjoying the The Tallahassee night's present The best of Motown. You don't even have to get back in your car (parking garage close by) because it was steps away from different dining selections.

Good family and friends were blessed at Bridge Church. Great chat, talk, sign, write down are communicating. We honor to God.

My band played here back in the late 80's. Such a perfect place for a show and still in great condition today. Hope they reopen this place soon as I would love to see a movie or a show here. Spoke to someone from Theater Winter Haven who said they had plans to do so in the future. Can't wait to attend.
