We saw Grease on Friday night. The play was super. I've seen Grease several times at the Chanhassen Dinner Theater in Minnesota, and numerous times at various community theaters & high school musicals. This was my favorite rendition!! The actors who played Jan (Sophie Thomas) & Rizzo (Tatiana Sandoval) really were phenomenal. I have never seen either role played so well & with such conviction. A shout out to Shemar Toussaint!! He was the reason we came to this performance and we thoroughly enjoyed seeing him in his element.
They should have advertised better how the grease show is not anything like grease. It is a spoof or parody and awful. It was not grease what so ever. I was so disappointed and cannot believe it was that expensive for such a horrible play that was absolutely nothing like the movie.
The Omaha Community Playhouse is a Fun and easily accessible venue for local plays. I took my granddaughters to see Finding Nemo Jr. The seats were great and sound quality was excellent and the young actors were enthusiastic in their performances. We all enjoyed the hour long performance.
Great variety of shows here, there's something for everyone every season. Great live performances. They tend to have good sets and staging for their shows; there are two different stages inside the building.
We had an amazing time and the staff was over the top for my cousin anf her family. They delt with the emotions of the family and they even accommodated when her body was to tired but still wanted to rock out to Today and Yesterday. If you haven't seen the Beatles Experience I highly reccomend seeing these amazing artists.
