The show was great, but the theater was grossly overfilled. I'm pretty sure there were some overcapacity issues taking place. We had to practically stand in the lobby to see the show. Definitely not what I remember this venue being back in the day.

Nice theater with a very friendly, chill staff. Seats are a bit tight, and there are obstructions in some of the seats, but nothing too serious. Drinks are a little pricey, but nothing more than you'd expect in a venue such as this. Overall, a nice place to see an artist.

The Joy Theater, named after owner Joy Houck, is a theater and historic landmark built in 1947 on Canal Street in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana. Renovations in 2011 transformed the former movie palace into a multi-purpose theater for live music, stand-up comedy, private functions, and corporate events.
