Where is the Count Basie Theatre?
The Count Basie Theatre is an historic 1926 theatre in downtown Red Bank, NJ! The theatre was rechristened the Count Basie Theatre in 1984, in honor of jazz pianist, composer and band leader William "Count" Basie (1904-1984). Even though jazz historians most commonly associate Count Basie with Kansas City, where he formed his first band, Basie was in fact a Red Bank native, born in his parent's house on Mechanic Street on August 21, 1904.

How many seats are there in the Count Basie Theatre?
It's a great venue to enjoy a show. They have roughly 1500 seats, so all of them are fairly close to the stage. I guess it's possible to get a bad seat but I haven't got one yet.
What is the best perk of getting tickets to the stage?
Best perk is every seat is a decent view to the stage. If you get tickets late you will have climb a few steep stairs to get up to top. The very last row against wall is the best seats with the most leg room because there are no seats in front of them and can stretch their legs.
