My partner and I frequently attend productions at the Guthrie-- most recently Jane Eyre (which we had seen last fall and HAD to come back for it's back by popular demand run). The building is beautiful, the theater was amazing, and the cast was simply fantastic. We stopped by Cue after the show for their late-night happy hour and were delighted to be sharing the bar with members of the cast!
Pros: Everything!
Cons: None

After about 7 shows this year, I have to say I have so enjoyed regular show going, particularly in this new location - beautiful. The actors are wonderful and seasoned and the variety of show types is better than historically. My suggestions for improvement of the experience overall -- as an adult I don't want to slug down aglass of wine at intermission, but instead continue to enjoy it with the show. Also, there are multiple bars to enjoy a snack or drink and not enough open (LONG LINES). So this makes a great experience a little less great. I would strongly suggest the Guthrie also dump the management of the Cue -- over priced and under delivered.
Pros: Acting, Ambience, view. More variety of shows this season.
Cons: Long lines for a drink or snack. Dump the Cue.
