New World Stages: Stage 1

I went to see a magic show called Amaze at the New World Stages. The complex has several stages of different capacities. The show I went to see was in the 199 seat theater. It was great because the magic show was up close and personal. It is a beautiful complex with great bars close to each venue and artwork along the walls. Loved it.

We saw "The Play That Goes Wrong" here. Everything was great from the moment we arrived...except for when the play went wrong! Joking, of course! Security had to check my bag and even that was done in a quick and friendly manner! The bathroom is nice. Here's a heads up though! If you're in need of a stall, the men's room only has one. So make sure you use one at a hotel beforehand, if you have to go. Other than that, the place is beautiful! I also appreciated the level of care they had for their actors, by informing patrons not to touch the actors while they're on stage and to not lay their personal belongings on stage as well. They weren't rude when saying it. They were very humble and friendly. Never once did you feel looked down upon or like you were being accused of anything. I would review the play here as well, but I guess this really is for reviewing the company that houses the play. But I could say many excellent things about the play. It was great and inspiring on a writing, acting, and comedic level!

Rolling Thunder is playing on stage 3. It is a musical about the Viet Nam war. There is really not much of a plot. The message is war is bad as told through the music of the 60s and 70s. The musicians are excellent and perform very nostalgic songs such as Magic Carpet Ride, The Letter, and War(what is it good for). It really seems more like a rock concert than a musical play.

I visited this lovely theater to watch Drag the musical. The show was amazing! The theater is beautiful, easy entrance, friendly staff, drinks are a bit much but if you get a double it makes sense. The show was AMAZING I laughed, I cried, I had the tune Drag is expensive in my head for a week. Seriously one of the best shows I have seen. I highly recommend Drag the musical and this theater.

Why did Google map us to the BACK of the building?! Thought we were going to be late for our because we couldn't find the entrance... In any case, the theater itself is nice enough. No real concession stand, so they had someone walking up and down the isle before show and during intermission
