Went with my husband last night to see Newsies, both the theatre and the show were amazing. This was our first experience with the Phoenix Theatre, I was not sure what to expect, the theatre was nicer than I expected and the atmosphere in the lobby and entry is very nice. The set was wonderful, and the cast was talented and engaging! The vocals were Broadway quality, to say the least. And I was absolutely blown away by the dancing! The show had me smiling from beginning to end, and fighting the urge to sing along. Looking forward to our next experience with Phoenix Theatre.

I come from the east coast. Seen alot of Broadway shows and theater shows. Absolutely love this community theater, its actually quite possibly the best one we've ever been too. We have seen multiple shows here too. love it.

Million Dollar Quartet is a fabulous show! Don t miss it. The talent is what you would find on Broadway. The only down side is that the show is in the smaller theatre and the seats are very close together. I am a tall slender person and I felt very boxed in, with little leg room. But go to the show anyway, you ll love it!!

I'd much rather see a show in the main theater then at the Hormel Theater. Tonight I was in the main stage theater and it was an enjoyable show. We saw an Americano. A very nice place to see a play and I would recommend it. Staff, volunteers, and services saw to it we had everything we needed. The ushers were very pleasant & helpful, too.

I love supporting local theatre and this venue makes that very pleasant for me. I have seen several shows that have exceeded my expectations in most cases. They are reasonably priced and also have shows that accommodate hearing impaired, which meant my friend was able to enjoy the show as well.

I really enjoyed my experience here and the ambiance is very nice (especially at night). Seating wasn't superb but it wasn't bad either. Parking isn't bad and the location is easily identifiable. Staff was courteous and approachable.

My wife and I had a date nite here last Friday. This was our first time here. There is not a bad seat in the house. All of the ushers were excellent. The atmosphere was fun and relaxing. We enjoyed the play "Kinky Boots" Our sides hurt from all of the laughing.

Am a Chicagoan who attends theater regularly. I was VERY impressed by this theater. The staff couldn't have been nicer....very welcoming to my friend and I since it was our first time there. Will DEFINITELY return. Cozy, intimate, great band and good stage sets.

As a rule I enjoy the productions at the Phoenix but the current production of Cooking a Drag is just not entertainment. It's a collection, and that's being kind, of assorted songs that a 10 year old cold have written accompanied by a combo that way over powered the singers. The second have was a bit better with the appearance of the Queen and some funny lines plus a very quick spot with the Star answering questions posed by the audience.

One of my favorite live venues. The productions are usually excellent, and with 2 theaters, they stage a variety of productions, from family-friendly to dark or challenging. We have season tickets and they offer flexibility.

We saw "You Can't Say That" last night. Just Wonderful!! It's a comedy that courageously transcends the labels, left and right, to find a common humanity. Quality writing and acting, good staging (a well-used sparse set) --the entire experience left us feeling more connected, more human than any art event (dance, theater, exhibition) we've attended in ages. My hope is you have a chance to see this work. And kudos to the Phoenix Theater facility and staff, we always enjoy the lobby/restaurant and its customer service. The venue's seating provides good visibility and acoustics, with a feeling of intimacy.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here, was originally a little slow to attend based on the higher ticket prices compared to other theatres but I am so glad we went. We saw The Sound of Music

Our family has always enjoyed to make memories at the theatre. We have seen some incredible shows here such as Mary Poppins, The Toxic Avenger, and Les Miserables to name a few. My daughters love the summer camp and have loved the opportunity to follow in their great grandmothers footsteps.

The Phoenix Theater is a great place to see plays. However, cooking's a drag had a nonsensical plot line, just okay songs, and wasn't a really good play. Looking forward two other places. The part of Betty / Bobby was done very well. I think he could use his talents in a much better one woman show.

For my husband s birthday, I surprised him with two tickets to Spamilton. To say that we were disappointed is a gross understatement. We were confused and bewildered, staring at each other in a disbelieving stupor at the utter nonsense being laid before us. Although the actors voices were amazing and the choreography was great, the content was frankly the most bizarre thing I have ever seen, a befuddling mix of references to not only the original Hamilton actors themselves (Lin-Manuel, Leslie Odom, etc.), but also containing the most obscure facts about each of the Hamilton actors, which nobody in their sane mind would ever know. I mean, I consider my husband and I to be RABID Hamilton fans (I was lucky enough to see Hamilton in Gammage) and even we had no clue what was going on. And if that wasn t strange enough, they also chewed up and regurgitated every single Broadway reference that ever was, including, but not limited to: Annie, The Book of Mormon, Liza Minnelli, Bernadette Peters, Harry Potter, Mary Poppins, Into the Woods, The Music Man, Rent, Wicked, Phantom of the Opera, Kinky Boots, Cats, The Lion King, Steven Sondheim. And that list is being conservative. It was so confusing, that I wouldn t even call it remotely entertaining. I honestly had no clue what was going on 90 percent of the time. My husband and I considered walking out, but since we were on narrow risers with seats placed on them (we weren t even in a real theater!), we couldn t move without disturbing other guests. At $78 dollars a seat, and with a well-established company celebrating its 100 year anniversary, I expected a lot more. I just wish I could get my money, and the hour of my life spent listening to that nonsense, back. Sorry, honey- worst birthday gift ever.

My husband and i went last night to this theater for the first time since they have remodeled. We had dinner at the restaurant there beforehand. Very reasonably priced although the drinks were pricey but delicious. And the show was fantastic!

Saw "Something Wicked This Way Comes". VIP gets great seats and a goodie bag with autographed play poster. Performance excellent, great technical, wonderful costumes, and great service (ushers, ticket taker). I look forward to seeing more plays here!
