    The theater itself is nice and cozy, but there are a few things that could be improved…read more There is no restroom inside the theater so you have to exit the theater and use one of the restrooms nearby, they're not far so that's not the problem. What's annoying is you have to go through security every time you re-enter it isn't like you come out and get your hand stamped so you can get back in quickly. We didn't realize when we left the theater, so when we got in the show early there was no line, then realized there was no restroom so we left to use them before the show started and then were told by the annoyed security employee we had to get in line to get back in, by this time the line was fairly long. This particular show didn't have servers for drink orders, not sure if that's standard or not. The small "bar" is a podium with rolling carts filled with ice so the selections are limited and the canned/bottled drinks cost ~$12 and up. This was ok because it's faster to get your own drinks but I wish the selection was bigger. When I picked my seats online the floorplan did not match what the seating was in person. I purposely picked a section that appeared to have cushioned chairs and a small cocktail table but when we got there my section was actually rows of folding chairs. I loved the show and I'm sure Mohegan has gotten this feedback several times, especially about the bathrooms but the Cabaret has been there for years and years so I'm surprised these problems haven't been fixed. I would go to a show here again because it's nice to be in a smaller venue than the arena but I wish I knew these things before we went so hopefully this will help someone else be prepared.

    This is a great intimate style theater. I would guess it probably holds around 250 people…read more When I think of a cabaret theater - I think of plush deep red chairs and very dim lighting. Their interior was more golds and classy looking - it really worked well. They have table seating with some round style booths. Not a bad seat in the place. My only complaint would be that having tables right against the stage is a little awkward for people depending on where the stage performance is taking place you have to crank your neck to try and see - there is not enough room to turn your chairs. They have a bar right inside which is very convenient but no restrooms.

I was excited to see that the Lion King was playing at the Providence Performing Arts Center! The theater is very easy to get to and there is a ton of parking nearby. Admissions was swift and not crowded - they definitely are organized and know how to keep the traffic moving. They sell various snacks and some are even locally made like the popcorn I bought. The venue itself is beautiful, especially the theater. The seats are as you would expect - velvety and small. The sound and lights were great. I really enjoyed the show. I will say that at times, I felt distracted - it seemed like the audience was louder than I expected - especially with the snack bags. Oh well, what can you do At intermission the women's bathroom was a little bit of a you know what. But this seems to be a common problem with older theaters. Regardless, I had a great time and would def come back to see another show!

I went to see The Lion King and it was fabulous! The theater is small enough to capture the details without binoculars or an additional screen. The music was captivating. The colors were vivid. The storyline was familiar, and the characters were great. I would absolutely go back to PPAC to watch this play, and looking forward to other plays coming later this year and next year.

    Theatre by the Sea is a jewel. This small venue in the Matunuck section of South Kingstown presents…read more4 shows per summer, plus a few daytime family shows, and we have always had a great experience here. From strolling through the gardens before the show, to sipping a drink at the outdoor bar, to the show itself, the whole Theatre by the Sea experience is lovely from start to finish. There is also a bistro where you can enjoy dinner, but we have yet to experience it. We most recently saw "Always" (the Patsy Cline story). The acting was fantastic, and the singing voices of the two leads was top notch. Last year we saw Beautiful, the Carol King story and again, the talent was incredible. Our first show at Theatre by the Sea was Mary Poppins, and it was so much fun watching Mary fly over the audience with her parrot head umbrella in hand. We opt for orchestra seats whenever possible and have always been able to see the show weel from the floor. We have sat in the balcony before, but once you get beyond the first two rows of balcony seating, it is difficult to see over the heads of the people in front of you. We love it there and I hope that once you visit Theatre by the Sea, you too will be captivated by this venue's charm and talent, and you will find yourself returning there over and over again.

    Expectations should be set for a small, older theater! Small seats, fairly flat floor. If you're…read moreshort you'll want to be towards the front or balcony. They added AC and I was perfectly comfortable during a daytime childrens show in July. They do have booster seats for small children available. They did not have concessions available during the children's show, but I was able to bring in snacks and a drink for my daughter!

    A Twisted Christmas Carol; Review Newport Playhouse Dec 1,…read more2025 Complicated. Not the play but the fact I and others, enjoying 3 days in Newport RI in a tour group, were basically a captive audience. "Dinner and a show" is how our itinerary put it. We ate a decent meal in the dining area and then all traipsed upstairs into this cozy little theatre. The stage was more than a proscenium because it projected out, bringing the actors into a more intimate relationship to the audience. (Just a note here: The seats were comfortable but the seat in front of you - seat pitch - was abysmally close. After 3/4 of an hour my knees began to hurt badly.) The play is a loose take on Dickens' Christmas Carol, with a 'Christmas past/Christmas present/Christmas future' structure. All action takes place in a small barbecue pub in west Texas. The proprietor (John Brennan), a grossly insensitive husband to his partner wife (Cass Caduto), is concerned for his business which is sliding downhill. Advice and antics from his live-in customer (Kol Daniel Cross) are scant help. The action unfolds with the help of a former employee (Rosa Nguyen) and the proprietor's former business partner (Matt Goldstein) who stole his barbecue sauce recipe years ago and has profited from it. Oh yes, that business partner is also the wife's former romantic partner, uh-oh. I could not find the author's name for this play. I suspect it was locally written by one or another of the actors or production staff. Maybe it was like a "Oh, we gotta put something together for our Christmas show" collaboration. The script produced a few jarring moments, as when the proprietor who has been in an accident and comatose in the hospital being visited by Christmas ghosts suddenly returns in full health. But the actors clearly enjoyed putting this on. The audience laughed and I think had fun watching although a few may not have had much experience with live performances. At the conclusion they started to leave and were surprised when the actors came out for a curtain-call bow. Ouch!

    The food has gone down hill. The chicken was very dry. The food was warm not hot. They should…read morechange up the menu a little. We have been coming here for long time. Also they should lighten up the colors inside the black is too dark. I am not criticizing I want the playhouse to succeed and since they are making changes it is just suggestion. The Cabaret was awesome funny. No tell motel was a fun play the actors were excellent but the play could have bee shorter.
