Theatre Reviews
The Lion King At The Lyceum Theatre
I went to see “The Lion King” at the “Lyceum Theatre” in London last night, the show was on for just over two and a half hours and to say that it blew my mind would be an understatement. Altogether there was 8 of us in my party, and …
Fiesta Theatre
In the small town of Cortez, Colorado there is only one theatre. It is a very small theatre with two screens called the Fiesta Theatre. I have been to the Fiesta several times to see movies in the past. I only go there however it there is a movie …
Federal Building Bellingham Washington
In the Federal Building on Magnolia Street here in Bellingham, Washington is a little know, little used courtroom. I love it. It’s beautiful. In this day when many courthouses are being replaced by modern courtrooms full of video equipment and computers, this one stands out. The courtroom is made …
The Picture Show at Merchant’s Walk
When the regular-run movie theaters near where we live began to raise their prises, and it was suddenly costing us $15 or more for the two of us to go to a matinee, we started looking for a discount movie theater. We found The Picture Show at Merchant’s Walk, …
Chicago on Broadway
I think that what makes a great broadway show is wear you are sitting. I went to see the Broadway Show “Chicago” and although I thought it was going to be a really great experience, it really wasn’t. I was sitting all the way in the back on the …
Houston Symphony’s “Peter and the Wolf”
I attended the Houston Symphony’s performance of Sergei Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf” at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands TX, and the experience was enchanting! This was a lovely performance that was energetic and well performed. The director John Morris Russell, was engaging …
Playhouse 1960 Houston TX theater
I’ve been to this theater a two times, and although it is relatively cheap, I am not satisfied with the shows I have seen.
Overall the theater looked decent upon entering, I thought they had a decent show in store both times, but I turned out to be wrong. The …
Shen Yun Performing Arts
The Shen Yun Performing Arts show is a series of Chinese dances and performances, strung together with a common theme: “Falun Dafa is Good”.
Before I begin, I think it is only fair that readers know I was not keen on going to see a Chinese drama/ballet. …
Springer Opera House
My Springer Opera House Guided Tour started off when I walked through the old, antique laden corridor of the box office, adjacent to the grand lobby. I was greeted by a gray haired, pleasantly perky man who was very cordial and made excellent conversation. I quickly informed this guide …
Pirates of Penzance by Seattle G&S
I love the Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. That’s not something people normally admit in polite company, but it’s true. If there were a 12 step program for G&S (that’s what those of us in the know call Gilbert and Sullivan), I’d be eligible to attend, but I wouldn’t. I …

Greenbelt 3 cinemas is one of the most premier cinemas in Makati City, located at Greenbelt 3, along Makati Avenue, the cinema lobby is on the 2nd floor, while the Cinemas are on the third along with the food stalls. Greenbelt 3 cinemas have one of the most upgraded …
Next to Normal (Musical)
I watched the play Next to Normal a few weeks ago at the RCBC Theatre. I was excited to watch it as it had racked up a lot of awards and good reviews. The RBCB Theatre was a good venue for the play as it was classy, …
King John by William Shakespeare
“King John” is one of those troublesome plays written by Shakespeare. It isn’t often staged. I saw it recently for the second time and found the current production at the Oregon Shakespeare festival to be an excellent production that did not drag. In fact it was extremely exciting.
I loved …
Shakespears theater Chicago
That’s the best place to spend time valuably! Because it is a very small theater the atmosphere there is cozy and very homey. The staff is nice and polite. All shows we have seen there were something very special. Every time we are very happy and satisfied! Actors are …
The Abbeville Opera House, Abbeville, SC
Smiling faces beautiful places. This is the motto of the state of South Carolina to the case of the Abbeville Opera House this couldn’t be more true. You’re instantly greeted with architecture fit for a European theater. What exactly does this entail? By this I mean you see you …
Wicked the Musical
While I have been to quite a few musicals my favourite one to date has been Wicked. I’m sure that it helps that I’m already an enthusiast for all things “Wizard of Oz”, but this musical has all of the ingredients for a successful broadway show.
I saw Wicked …
Sight and Sound Theatre
In Branson, Missouri, there is a very special theatre. An enormous, golden building with an Asian flare, Sight and Sound Theatres is a Christian theatre that produces dramatized Bible stories. From Ruth, to Daniel, to Noah, to Joseph, this theatre is a spectacular experience for any drama-lover.
From …

Vintage theaters can be fascinating places, and the Colonial Theater in Belfast Maine is absolutely spell binding. Featuring 3 surprisingly large theaters with enchanting names like “Dreamland”, this family-owned business shows blockbuster Hollywood movies the week they are released as well as local films and plays.
The decor outside of …
Emmetsburg Riviera Theater
I am reviewing the small town Riviera movie theater, specifically located in Emmetsburg, Iowa. For years, this movie theater was supremely outdated, run down, and unattractive. Recently, it got a huge makeover. The sound system has been updated so movie goers can officially hear base. In regards to the …
Araneta Coliseum
Araneta Coliseum is an indoor stadium that holds a gathering like Concerts, Pageant and Basketball games like of PBA (Philippine Basketball Association) and UAAP (University Athletic Association of the Philippines).

Carmike Movie Seven Knoxville, TN
Last Saturday I took my family to the movies in Knoxville, TN. We went to the Carmike Movie Seven Theater at Windsor Square. This is sort of a second run theater, that is to say the movies have already run a couple weeks in the regular theaters but typically …
Wicked the Musical
I have been lucky and honored to see Wicked the Musical twice. I saw the 1st National Tour and the 2nd National tour, which gave me the fortune of seeing different actors.
After seeing Wicked the 2nd National Tour in Feb of 2011 at Pope Joy Hall in Albuquerque, …
The Open Air Theatre Regents Park London
I have just been to The Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre in London for the first time. The park is lovely to walk through with lakes, a bandstand and gardens to enjoy. The theatre itself is very impressive. The entrance area has a licensed bar which also serves snacks. …
Rogers Cinema
I don’t normally go to the movie theater here in town. But, this past weekend was our anniversary and I didn’t want to just take my wife to dinner and be home by 7. So, we decided to splurge a bit and I took her to see a movie …
Next to Normal on Broadway
I should preface this review by stating that over the years, I’ve seen over 100 shows on and off Broadway. I’m a huge theatre fan, loving everything from the classics to the little known shows. I’ve seen my fair share of wonderful productions and complete embarrassments. I’ve also been …
Mission Valley cinema Raleigh NC
Mission Valley cinema gets all the great blockbuster movies, and is located just a short walk from NC States campus.
The theater is old and has traditional seating, so it’s not the best place to see movies. The staff is pleasant however, and you can
purchase “adult” beverages to drink while …
UltraStar Cinemas
I work at Ultra-Star cinemas in Poway, California and for that reason I know that this theater is a very reliable place. I have only worked here for a matter of 4 months but I have seen all of the hard work and time put into this place. It …
The War Horse play
This play is simply stunning.
I saw it at the National Theatre in December 2008, but I believe it is now opening at a new Theatre in the West End.
War Horse is based on a children’s novel by Michael Morpurgo - but don’t let that influence your opinion, the content …
The Savannah Theatre
This theatre is a must see if you are in the Savannah , Georgia area. The building itself is historical. When you walk into the lobby you can see old newspaper ads and photographs from when it first opened in 1818. My husband and I spent about ten minutes …
Cinemark Tinseltown USA
I absolutely love this theater, it has all the most amazing games and even a great little malt shop style restaurant. The theater itself has over 10 movie theater rooms and the chairs are super comfortable. You can easily stretch out your legs without even bothering the person in …
Henry Fonda Theater in Hollywood, CA
I have been to the Henry Fonda Theater a number of times in the past four to five years to see concerts, and it’s undoubtedly my favorite small venue in Los Angeles. Unlike the Troubadour, the Echo, or similar other venues, it has a great deal of open space, …
Interchangeable Parts’ Rocky Horror
Every Saturday night at 11:30 p.m., the freaks of Florida somehow find their way to The Beach Theatre for their weekly dose of Rocky Horror. I blame extensive advertising during shows and on the Interchangeable parts website, http://ip.rhps.org/.
The theatre is seedy, the popcorn is stale, and I’ve never …
Mamma Mia!
I have seen Mammia Mia! twice on Broadway. My husband, mother and her boyfriend took me for my birthday one year and it was excellent. The storyline is about a girl who is engaged to be married but doesn’t know who her real dad is. her …
The Merry Wives of Windsor by William Shakespeare
This current production of Shakespeare’s “Merry Wives of Windsor” ad the Oregon Shakespeare festival is one of the best I’ve seen. I’ve seen several productions in the past and have enjoyed them all, but this was special because of G. Valmont Thomas as Sir John Falstaff, Knight.
This play was …
Blue Springs 8 Theatre

Jeongdong Theater, Seoul, South Korea
Do you often watch western plays and want to try watching an Asian one? Perhaps this is for you. The play is about Korean drama and the story is about an event occurred in the time of the past kingdom. They change the story every month or so. During my …
Chandler Cross-Roads Harkins Theater in Chandler AZ
I saw “Pirates of the Caribbean, On Stranger Tides” on May 20th 2011 at Chandler Cross-Roads Harkins Theater in Chandler AZ with a family member. The movie was fantastic by the way. I love going to this theatre.
When we walked up to the ticket office, we were immediately greeted …
Pipeline Theatre Company’s “Psycho Beach Party”

Regal Cinema
I had a wonderful time over the past weekend at Regal Cinema here in Jacksonville, Florida. I always enjoy going to Regal Cinema viewing the latest movies and this weekend was no exception. The staff is very friendly and courteous. The gentlemen that was working at …
Wicked (spoiler possible)
Oh my. If you love The Wizard of Oz, or just want a good night out, go see Wicked !! It is one of the most amazing musicals I’ve been too. Even men should love it. It opens with Glenda coming down on her ‘bubble’ and then tells the …
Civic Center Music Hall, Thelma E. Gaylord Performing Arts Theatre
I recently attended the Lion King theater production at the Civic Center Music Hall. Overall, I was pleased with the experience I had. There was ample parking outside of the building, and the ground-floor entrance was well-lit with a handicapped access ramp. Once inside, I found the Civic Center …
Springer Opera House
I recently had the opportunity to visit the famous Springer Opera House in Columbus, GA. I have to say that the atmosphere is unlike anything I have ever experienced. I was met at the door by a man in tails and a top hat underneath giant oil lamps. The …
Mountain Dew Soda
To be honest, Mountain Dew Soda is not my style. I’ve tried it, and I don’t like it. It has an odd citrus flavor that is terribly unappealing, and it looks like something I can’t write about. There’s nothing I like about Mountain Dew Soda, except …
Swan Lake performed by the Kirov Ballet
My family and I went to see the newest ballet at the Auditorium theatre this weekend. The Kirov Ballet and Orchestra was putting on their famous Swan Lake. I dont know why they waited so long to bring this to Chicago. It was the best ballet I …
Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand
Rarely does the Oregon Shakespeare Festival stage a non-Shakespeare play on the outdoor Elizabethan Theatre. I was privileged to see a production recently. I’ve seen Cyrano before live and enjoyed the play, but it wasn’t a favorite of mine.
On the night I attended Marco Barricelli, cast as Cyrano, was …
Detroit Film Theatre,Detroit Michigan
The Detroit Film Theatre is an antique theater with really lush red velvet seats and gilded accents. The theater’s interior has a really rich and warm atmosphere, with classic filigrees on the ceiling, and the elaborate walls that you do not see with today’s new theaters. Just being there …
Regal Cinemas
I have been to two different Regal Cinemas. One of them resides in the mall that is about twenty minutes away from my house and the other resides in Queens, New York. The one that I have gone to the most is the one that is closest to my …
