The costumes were beautiful; the orchestra amazing! I was moved to tears by the older cat who sang ," Memory." Not even Jennifer Hudson could belt it out in such a moving fashion as to make the crowd clap and cheer!

Surprising quality! Tech is broadway style and talent is pulled from way outside Wichita! At times the crispness reminds me this is not broadway... But then the quality makes me forget again.

We use to live on Long Island. We'd go in to the City about twice a year specifically to watch a Broadway play. One thing we found interesting was the number of actors listing MTW in their experience in the playbill. It's too bad so many folks in Wichita don't experience Broadway plays right here in Wichita.

In The Heights was an excellent production, in a city starved for anything from Lin-Manuel Miranda. The talent was first rate. A special bonus is the kids choir doing preview numbers for next year's season. Savvy advertising! We definitely hope to catch more of these productions in the future.

MTW never allows refunds of any kind, no exchanges no exceptions.

If you buy any tickets from then, dont buy until day of, when you are sure you will be able to make it.

Would have made this one star, but they magically dont have any, and I didn't want this deleted

I cannot get enough of Music Theatre of Wichita! It is a treasure to the community! Every summer my husband and I try to take in at least once show. Some day we'll be in the financial situation to get season tickets, and we're looking forward to that day! I have never been disappointed in the quality or production level of an MTW show. The youth choir is always fun, and a great way to encourage the next generation into the arts. When I was a teenager I also had the privilege of apprenticing at MTW in both the lighting shop and the costume shop. It was an amazing experience for any young person who loves the theatre. It was also great to see shows from the back side of the stage and see, even more, the kind of work and dedication that goes into these shows. All the cast and crew are amazing and work so hard to bring the best to the patrons. I'm looking forward to seeing where MTW goes and the new steps it takes as Wichita considers the future of Century II. An unforgettable experience that everyone in the city of Wichita should come and enjoy! Well done!

Fantastic production

Fantastic production
Wow! The cast was stupendous, sets were wonderful, choreography was special, and they made great use of the Century II stage. I'm not a big Gershwin fan, otherwise I'd give it five stars.

Wonderful show! Sound system was great and we were sitting back orchestra under the balcony. Had to discipline myself to not sing along since I know most of the lyrics, as do many others! I played Marta in a HS production in 1966!

Our family has been season ticket holders since 1992 and we've never seen a 'bad' show. Always top-notch, stunning performances and it's an amazing opportunity for up and coming artists. Several have gone on to perform on Broadway.

High quality performance every time. We've been season ticket holders for years. Always get more than your money's worth. It's a great learning experience for all ages of aspiring performers. The live music orchestra is a beautiful enhancement to be treasured.

My girlfriend and I went to Sister Act, the first show of the summer season for music theatre and let me tell you it was fun from start to finish! I'd definitely recommend getting season tickets. I've been going to Music theatre Wichita for 6 years now and NEVER had a bad show. Definitely worth the money.

For being Off-Broadway productions, they produce some good shows. I went to see Jesus Christ Superstar in the summer of 2016, and I was very impressed by most of the cast. I am a bit of a theatre snob, and I really can tell when one person's voice is not up to par with the rest, and you should expect to see that here. But the ticket prices are pretty good for what you get. These people are really just a step or two below Broadway, and you can tell, but the quality of the overall production is good. What is really deserving of 5 stars is the location and proximity of the theatre to Old Town and also the guy who comes out before the show to talk to the audience and introduce the YOUTH CHOIR! They are a special treat, in addition to the price of admission. I will definitely think about getting a season ticket next year, dependent on what shows they put on.

Wonderful. I took an elderly music Theatre friend that had not been for several years. We had great seats in the middle of row N so she could have a great view of the entire stage. Thanks for the improved sound system it was so much more enjoyable for a senior with hearing difficulties. Can't wait for An American in Paris.

Great theater! Seats are nice and the talent is great! My only negative would be the parking. There is plenty of parking but most of it is metered parking. We were not aware of this and did not have enough quarters to assure we were paid for the proper length of time. We ended up in a free lot which was about a 2 block walk.

high quality Productions of classic Broadway musicals. Not adventurous in their choice of material. Mostly the same old stuff from the 50s and 60s. Very high prices! Dedicated to educating young people in theater.
