North Shore Music Theatre's Backstage Bistro Review

A fantastic regional theater where we enjoyed terrific musicals for twenty years. Don t miss a visit to take in a Broadway Show in this theater in the round.

Good theater and set up. Fair production of Sunset Blvd. Difficult to tell who singing when everyone is miked. The place is small enough that I would think amplification would not be required.

Going to get season tickets for next year, everything we've been to has been fantastic

My wife and I saw Spam-a-lot last year and Young Frankenstein last night and we really enjoyed them both. The actors and actresses and did a wonderful job, they all truly looked like they were having fun on stage. Their support group, with the music and props, seemed to go off without a hitch. The adult concessions were made well. We're looking forward to our next visit and we'll try the bistro next time.

The Body Guard was so entertaining! Superior acting singing and dancing! A wonderful afternoon!

Jersey Boys delivered positive vibes of our common popular musical history. Loaded with talent. Performers are excellent!!

Great place with great shows, not only do they have shows for adults but they also have plays for children year round.

Small, intimate venue, not a bad seat in the house. Excellent rendition of Jersey Boys!

Professional cast (even the kids). Good music, singing, dancing.

Had so much fun watching Music Man for our anniversary. The singing/acting is impressive. The round stage makes every seat in the house, a great seat! An incredible experience.

Went to see Evita! Interesting circular setup of the theater. Because it is circular, there aren't many places for back-drop and sometimes the performers' backs are facing you. Not necessarily a bad thing but you should be aware!

Great theatre in the round venue. They put on amazing performances. Christmas Carol is always the tops. They also offer a children's series during the summer.

Beautiful, verdant location feels amazing on a warm summer night. The theater in the round is really special. All the seats here provide good views and are quite comfortable. The architecture is interesting inside and out. They do excellent work with the stage props hanging from the ceiling, and below the stage. Tons of lighting, lots of concession stands. Unfortunately, (and I'm not saying this is their fault but) the women's line for the bathroom is 2X or 3X longer than the men's. #RestroomDisparity.

Overall, we totally love it here. Great performances, good production value, I would definitely recommend. In fact, if you haven't been, you have to make it at some point.

First time coming since I was in elementary school.. what a great time..

Another great production at NSMT. Wonderfully talented cast for Jekyll and Hyde. Can't wait to see Hairspray in a couple of weeks.

Beautiful theater in the round venue that does a great job with all of their productions. Plenty of parking. There truly is no bad seat in the house.

The musical was absolutely wonderful no matter where you sit you can see the stage because the stage rotates so everybody gets to see it very good time

I saw Mary Poppins last night. It was incredible! Better than Broadway.

A Christmas Carol was awesome!
Great place! Not a bad seat in the house!!

Just saw the Bodyguard it was beyond incredible. It pulled you in from the first minute. The cast and music was amazing. One of the best shows I have seen.
Thank you for bringing it to us. This is a show not to be missed.

I grew up going to shows here as a kid, and even went back recently to see a performance of Legally Blonde. I've always had a wonderful experience - comfy seating in the round, and very reasonable pricing. I'm glad they're back in business!

Excellent place to see a show with the family. Theater in the round.

Best children's shows.great price,great quality,all shows are 1.5 hours long

Great theater with excellent shows and reasonable prices. A real gem of the theater and arts community.

Amazing preformances! Parking/traffic getting out was a bit crazy but otherwise great experience.

Bill Hanney and his artistic director have been investing in hiring top Broadway level actors such as Tony-nominated Constantine Maroulis (Evita, Jekyll & Hyde) and Tony winner Alice Ripley (upcoming Sunset Blvd). Wonderful having such high quality theatre here on the North Shore!

excellent variety of shows. The actors can really sing and dance!!

Wonderful theater. Been season ticket holder for years reasonably priced for quality theater.

Saw a great show of 42nd Street. Terrific tap dancing. Really nice venue.

We saw a Christmas Carol. It was excellent! It's a holiday must in New England. I took the train from North station to Montserrat. The station was only 5 minutes from the theatre.

Great dpot to see a prrformance. Not a bad seat in the houde. ztheater in the round.

Fantastic performance at a professional level. I was amazed!

High-energy, impeccable talent in an intimate theater-in-the-round setting. Live orchestra. A fantastic experience for enthusiasts of live musicals.

Great show - Bodyguard the Musical. Performers and music did a great job. Especially the actors that played Farmer, Fletcher and Rachel. Loved the many costumes changes.

Excellent acting and concession staff, the old cranky managers bumming around and assuming everyone is trying to get into the shows for free is pretty irritating though.

Wonderful shows. Not a bad seat in the house. We are season subscribers for the past 7 years!

Loved it. ! Only thing uncomfortable are the metal cupholders on each side of seats :( everything else was amazing :)

Nice theatre, decent acting, but they really need to get more restroom facilities for their patrons. Having to wait 25 minutes in line is unacceptable.

Great venue with excellent shows. They really seem to take pride in their performances and never seem to skimp in any area. The prices are reasonable and they always a have a good selections of performances throughout the year. The Christmas Carol is a must for those who have never seen it. The only complaint and the reason for the four stars is getting out of the parking lot when the show is over. Due to the set up of the local streets, if they do not have a police officer at the main road to direct traffic, you could be sitting in that parking lot for up to 1.5 hours.

We saw "A Christmas Carol". The performance was perfect. I love theater in the round.

Great venue for musicals, concerts and anything else theatrical. Not a bad seat in the house. We're going to A Christmas Carol on Sunday. It's a musical that we look forward to every Christmas season. Great production

This is a very quaint place for a great time to relax and enjoy with your family and friends. The Bistro was exquisite, the theater had no bad seats and the play was well done.

Saw A Christmas Carol. Amazing show! Thank you to the children in the show (so adorably talented), David Coffee, Cheryl McMahon & Alex Puette for sitting with my mom & myself briefly after the show. Thank you for the birthday wishes. Thank you to the rest of the cast that stopped to say hello. Such talent & sweethearts across that stage & behind it.

Great production. Music is a bit loud due to the theater in the round.

Amazing shows with talented casts - always entertaining.

Every production I have ever seen at the North Shote Music Theatre had been excellent. Not a bad seat in the house. Just an incredible place to see shows!

Went to matinee performance of Peter Pan with family. I am always very impressed with the staff and shows there. The staff are incredibly organized and knowledgeable and friendly. They calmly and efficiently handle large groups of people. The shows are always good. Such talent!

Great experience of a theatre in the round. Excellent planning for audience. Very friendly staff. If you can attend - do it!

Great local theater. See Broadway local
Went to see Jekyll and Hyde. Singing and music was amazing. Even in the very back seats you have a good view
