A+++ This theater has great views from every seat, no bad seats. For Romy & Michele: The Musical, it was a happy and funny show based on the movie with some added parts. 2 hrs and 15 min with intermission. Great performers, fun energy, beautiful and color set and props. Highly recommended for the laughs and nostalgia.
Just saw D&D Twenty-sided Tavern here and it was not only a brilliant show, but the venue and staff were excellent. My "sweeping strike" was very tasty! The place is small, but the crowd was not overwhelming for a 2pm Sunday show. I'll refrain from including the show itself in my review - which was 6 out of 5 stars - but the entry and lobby are decked out with cool stuff. I would absolutely see this show again - or whatever comes in the future - at this theater.
A more compact theater compared to others, but otherwise great! My husband and I watched the Twenty Sided Tavern here, and we had a lovely time. It was the perfect venue for a unique and interactive show.
This theatre is awesome! Incredibly easy to get to. The staff is super nice and helpful. Seats are comfy and a good adult-amount of leg room. Navigating the lobby and finding my seat was super easy. I went for Twenty-Sided Tavern and the show was so much fun.
Saw Lord Nil: 7 deadly sins and many other shows over here. Great theatre. The security is so strict just like radio city music hall. 😉
