Stunning performance in all ways - orchestral, vocal, choreography, set design, theatre layout and comfort. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It is of particular enjoyment to know that the shows are produced in-house....still Broadway quality with a little 'ownership' of the talent.
Loved the theatre and the play. Very good customer service. Parking was a little difficult.
Well done! We really enjoyed it Will go there again......
By putting the orchestra in the back of the stage where they are hidden, the show was in the forefront with no distractions. West Side Story was one of the best I have ever seen!
I've loved this movie since I was a little girl and I finally got the chance to see the play last week. The performance was everything I expected it to be and more. I was so full of joy I could cry the entire show. Thanks to everyone involved in this production.
West Side Story has held its own for all of these years because of the music. Music was fabulous and the leafs who played Anita and Maria were top notch singers and actors. This version of the show was a bit slow and they changed the order of some of the scenes. Not sure why they would mess with a Classic.
The theater is beautiful and West Side Story costumed in black and white made it even more dramatic. I have seen West Side at least 10 times and felt like each scene was new to me form the first time. Excellent job. All the main cast were amazing and you had a great ensemble too. Keep up the great work. I truly wish I lived closer to enjoy the rest of the season.
The venue is great, you can see the stage well from every seat. The parking is across the street in a security guarded parking deck ($10). The venue sold drinks that you could bring into the theater with you, but sold no snacks. The seats are a little tight, and the floor seats are long rows of full seats. All and all it is a nice place and we plan on going back and seeing more shows..
My mom and I were so excited about seeing our favorite movie on stage for the first time. The music was beautiful, the voices top quality, and the choreography mostly top notch. However, the need to turn this classic into an exaggerated political statement was unnecessary and left a bad taste. It's condescending to an audience to act as though we are unable to come to our own conclusions about the story, and we need the "elite" to explain it to us. I enjoy theater that makes me think, not shoves a message down my throat.
