Avg. Event Rating (5.0 Stars): Add Review/Comment

"Grease" is the word! Since breaking out on Broadway in 1972, Grease's place has been firmly established in the cultural hall of fame, the perfect outing for all the family, guaranteed to have even grandma hand-jiving in the aisle. The songs are all here: "You’re the One that I Want," "Sandy," "Hopelessly Devoted", "Greased Lightinin’" and many more. So come join Danny and Sandy, along with those groovy T-Birds, those sassy Pink Ladies, and the whole gang at Rydell High for this high-octane rock ‘n’ roll party. It’s the most ELECTRIFYIN’ extravaganza on stage!

    We saw the dress rehearsal last evening at Civic. It's a hoot! The whole cast gives a remarkable performance of this rather dark, but not too dark, musical comedy. When we got home we examined all of our house plants. No problem, they all just needed to be watered! Fun play! Collapse

    My wife and I went to the opening night performance at Civic and had just great evening at the theatre. He was a responsible son, a responsible husband, a responsible father, a responsible banker and a responsible citizen of his community. His responsibilities weighed him down at times and he so longed to escape them and dare to be different. But...his responsibilities held him back from his dreams. He didn't know (and we too often don't know) how the shouldering of those responsibilities makes us unique and loved by those who mean the most to us. George's guardian angel, Clarence, did a great job of helping George to get through a major crisis at the S&L and to help George realize that he was already leading a "wonderful life." It's a great nostaligia trip. I highly recommend the play. Collapse

    Last evening my wife and I went to see Rashomom at Civic. It's the story of murder and rape in a Japanese setting. The "murderer" confesses his crimes...but each of the 4 witnesses tells a different story of the crimes. The audience is left to determine who actually committed the crimes. Really good theatre. You will enjoy it and talk about it afterwards just as you did after the play "Doubt." Collapse

    Sam Shepard's True West is a brilliant little slice of hell-arious sibling rivalry taken to extremes. Aaron Nichols (Austin) and Scott Jackson (Lee) do justice to Shepard's difficult play by giving sophisticated, powerful performances. Beautiful direction by Leigh Taylor. Collapse

    I had a chance to catch the show in Des Moines and my wife and I loved it. It has a very loose feel and the interaction with the crowd was great. The music is very good and it's fun to hear the hits as well as more obscure song's I didn't even know the Beatles recorded. I would love to see it again. Collapse

    My wife and I attended West Side Story on August 1st, Opening Night. This was not our first time seeing West Side Story having seen it in Chicago and Milwaukee a number of years ago. In those performances, the play was put on by professionals. The performance by SBCT on August 1st was equal to, if not better, than the professional performances in Chicago and Milwaukee. The dancing by all the performers was marvelous. The 2 leads - Maria and Tony - were terrific. What a treat in our hometown. Collapse
