Paramount Theatre

Relish the arts, from your own cozy couch. Dating to the late 19th century, this grand venue has been restored to the glory it knew as a movie theater in the 1920s, making it a perfect destination for a romantic outing (or, this year, fora stay-at-home treat thanks to virtual screening offerings). This year Seattle Theatre Group brings its productions (typically staged at The Paramount, Moore and Neptune Theatre) to the comfort of your home via digital streaming. Enjoy music, dance and other performances, as well as new series like Silent Movie Mondays. When the venue is open, enjoy the sumptuous, gilt-edged surroundings as you take in a show. The ambiance is decadent; for example, three million crystal beads adorn 218 chandeliers and light fixtures. If dancing is called for, the seating area quickly converts to a stunning hardwood ballroom floor. The "wow" factor here is definitely worth the trip!
