We saw Grease on the opening day and it was magical! Just an amazing show filled with wonderful acting, singing and oh oh the dancing! I was blown away by the talent and I want to thank them for putting a song in my heart and a skip in my step and taking me out to get absorbed into an amazing story! Loved it ❤️
We hadn't been to this theater in a long while and pleased to see how new and updated it was. Perfect venue with no 'bad' seats. Located in the heart of the downtown restaurant district can make for a great night out.
The musical was great. The actors were perfect for their roles. It was a perfect Mother's Day Gift
I've seen a couple of stage plays at this theater located in Arlington Heights, IL. Friendly service. However, I was ticketed $25 while I was parked in the parking garage, behind the theater for taking up multiple parks..??🤦♀ I unknowingly parked over my "parking space line by a smidgen!" So, be on alert if you park there.🙄
Grease cast was fantastic! we ate dinner next door at Mago and walked to the show. Bought a refreshment and headed in. Cozy seating intimate theater. So nice !!
