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 …

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 …

Springfield, MO Palace Theater

I have been going to the Palace Theater for 15 years and taking my own children for 10 years. I love this theater because it seems to care more about the customer than making a quick buck. The ticket price has risen once since I …

Blue Collar Comedy Tour “Rides Again”

Blue Collar Comedy Tour “Rides Again” is a laugh-out-loud stand-up comedy show starring Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Bill Engvall, and Ron White. I laughed from the beginning of the opening act to the end of the closing act. Jeff Foxworthy spins a funny tale about his life …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The Laramie Project, by Moises Kaufman and the Tectonic Theater Project

This is a remarkable play and an innovative social project. In 1998, Mathew Shepard was beaten and left tied to a fence to die in Laramie, Wyoming, because he was gay and he revealed this fact to the wrong two people. This outrageous hate crime horrified the …

Avenue Q

This show is absolutely hilarious! Of course, that is the appeal, it’s a musical comedy. It’s probably one of the funniest, if not THE funniest musical comedy I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen some good ones!
The soundtrack itself is great. With song titles such as “The Internet is for …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Pacific Winnetka 21 Theater in Chatsworth

This theater is beautiful, and is located in the lot that was once the Winnetka Drive-in theaters.
It’s an “all stadium” theater, so the seats are nice and comfy, with that stadium seating that allows you to sit anywhere in the theater comfortably, without having to worry about …

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 …

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 …

AMC Livonia 20

We went to Livonia this morning to see a movie at AMC Livonia 20. The movie is not playing where I live. It’s an hour and eight minutes to get there. It was our first time to go to Livonia, so we really have no idea where …

Walnut Street Theater Philadelphia

I just visited the Walnut Street Theater for the first time today to see Les Miserables. The show was fantastic, so if you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend seeing it at some point. As for the theater,it was slightly smaller than I had expected, but it was a …

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 …

Breakups and Breakdowns (Musical)

A few weeks ago, I watched Breakups and Breakdowns which is a musical directed and written by Joel Trinidad, which is one of the four characters in the story as well. The show was held at the Teatrino in Greenhills Promenade Mall and a ticket costs P950 each. …

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 …

Regal Cinema in Glasgow, DE

The closest movie theater to my home is Regal Cinemas in Bear, Delaware. It is a huge theater that shows a total of 16 movies playing at any given time. I consider this a good thing and a bad thing. The bad thing about it is that it is …

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 …

Nickle and Dimed by Joan Holden

Joan Holden’s theatrical adaptation of Nickled and Dimed is the freshest, most innovative and most thought-provoking performance I have ever seen. Period. When it ran in Cleveland, Ohio a few years ago, it continually sold out and kept being extended due to popular demand. I was …

Wicked (Gershwin Theater on Broadway)

Based on Gregory Maguire’s novel, “Wicked” tells the story of the witches of Oz, Glinda and Elphaba, before Dorothy drops in. A prequel, if you will, to Frank L. Baum’s The Wizard of Oz.
The musical production is specatacular and lives up to the hype it has caused in …

I saw the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, and it was an awesome play. The story was about a young chorus girl named Christine who captures the interest of the Phantom of the Opera- a deformed man who lives beneath the great Paris Opera House. The music is …

Rialto Movie Theater in The Villages in Florida

As someone who has seen been in many a movie theater, I would like to say that I have seen some good theaters, as well as some bad theaters. But never have I seen a theater with reclining chairs, spacious seating, and a large luxurious screen as I did …
