Concessions are extremely overpriced, but not uncommon for these types of events. The bathrooms were port-a-potties, but not really enough for the crowd in my opinion. The show was really fun. I enjoyed the variety of performers, aerial, jugglers, roller skaters, contortionists, and more! There is a cool wheel of death performance towards the end. The performers were great and engaged well with the crowd. There were some light horror aspects and some comedy aspects as well. Overall, it was an enjoyable show and I'd definitely recommend it!

I didn't find out they were back until their second to last day, but I love anything horror themed so I had to go. They had a haunted maze in the tent with jump scares, loud noises, and a man in a chainsaw running around. It was short, but loads of fun. It did scare my wife since it was pretty dark with something lurking in every corner. They had two snack vendors (churros, popcorn, cotton candy, icees, sodas, and nachos), an arts table in the front before you enter, and a merch table with shirts and different masks (masquerade, horns, and such). The shirts were not on display so you have to ask for them. It was $40. About the same as concert shirts or theme park prices so that's something to note since everything is cash only (they mention this when you buy tickets). The seats are nicely spaced out and you get to see most acts from the sides. The only part we didn't have a good view of were the magic acts, so if you're a fan of that (they did have some amazing tricks) then you'll want any seats overlooking the stage and closer to the center. Otherwise, you'll get the gist of what's going on but you will miss pieces of the magic acts from the side. All other acts were enjoyable from our seats. They had great music, a live band during some parts, great lighting and smoke effects, and a few interesting performances I hadn't seen before. The aerial stuff I can honestly watch 100 times as that will aways amaze and terrify me. I also loved the reaction from audience members and seeing their minds blown. Circus acts are rare and some are incredibly expensive, so I get it might be a first for most people. If it is, then I recommend this one, if you love Halloween and want a reason to dress up, do it here too!

Disturbing and not for kids -- very dark themes…read more I went to Echo the Circus expecting a fun, artistic performance, but what I got was something extremely unsettling. The entire show was filled with dark, creepy imagery and symbolism that felt more satanic than theatrical. It was not subtle -- the whole atmosphere was uncomfortable and honestly felt like it was pushing a disturbing agenda. This show is definitely not for kids and not something I would ever recommend for families. We ended up leaving early because it was just too much. I reached out to them via email with no response, so I reached out on Instagram where they dragged me on with no real answers for over a week and I had to send multiple messages to get to the point and hear back-- only to offer credit toward another show. Completely unacceptable. If you're looking for something wholesome or family-friendly, do not go to this show.

This…read moretheatre is truly a gem, making performing arts accessible for families of all ages and abilities. Here is what you need to know: + Garage parking is free on Sundays + Tickets are sent electronically along with a helpful email and storybook pdf that helps prepare young children on what to expect when they go to the theatre + The theatre is truly intimate -- there is not a bad seat in the house (Trust me -- we were last row, on the side of the stage and still had a great view!) + Children's shows can be quite corny and cut corners when it terms to production value but not at Imagination Stage. I was really impressed by the quality of acting and the set of "Dory Fantasmagory." + They offer lots of free programming such as "Meet the Cast", family yoga, and a children's fashion show to go with the play. I went with a group of children ages 4 - 11 and they had everyone entertained. Seeing everyone's faces light up and laughing out loud has truly filled my cup of cuteness for the entire week. Thanks again Imagination Stage. Can't wait to visit again!

The Olney Theatre…read more What an absolute gem of an institution nestled in Olney, Maryland. It's a shame it took me this long to discover such a local treasure. A couple of friends and I attended a performance of A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable introduction to this wonderful theater. The Roberts Mainstage seats just over 400 patrons, creating an intimate atmosphere where every seat feels surprisingly close to the action. I purchased our tickets rather late, so we ended up in the last row of the mezzanine. Fortunately, the theater's thoughtful design meant we still had an excellent view of the stage. We could clearly see the actors' expressions, and their powerful vocals carried beautifully throughout the venue. The theater also offers an on-site concession counter with a selection of beverages, cocktails, and snacks. Although I didn't take advantage of it, I liked the option to preorder drinks for intermission and appreciated that beverages are permitted inside the theater during the performance. The production itself was outstanding. The set design, costumes, and musical performances were all beautifully executed. The talented cast delivered exceptional performances, supported by a small orchestra tucked into the pit that added richness and energy to the entire production. The entrance to the Roberts Mainstage is located off the rear parking lot, just a short walk from the parking area. There are a few outdoor tables and chairs, making it a pleasant place to relax before the show. Inside, the lobby is bright, welcoming, and well maintained, although it is relatively compact and can become crowded before sold-out performances and during intermission. The theater is accessible, with elevators and designated wheelchair seating. However, navigating the lobby during busy times could be challenging, so arriving a little early may make for a more relaxed experience. We attended a weekday matinee and had a wonderful afternoon. Between the quality of the production, the intimate setting, and the welcoming atmosphere, I can certainly see why Olney Theatre has earned such a loyal following. I look forward to returning for many of their upcoming performances throughout the year.

Came here to see the musical - A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder…read more On the day we visited, the theater was showing 2 different performances at the same time (different shows and different rooms). I made sure to get there early. They do have a lobby area with a few seats located near Roberts Mainstage. There is also an area where you can purchase snacks and drinks - I did not check to see what they had specifically as we had eaten elsewhere before the show. The tickets show a QR code and as we entered the theater, someone scanned our tickets. As we entered, I saw there were ushers available to guide us to our seats - so helpful. We sat in the Orchestra section and the seats were amazing. I liked that we were able to see the musicians play in front of the stage - at times they were part of the show as well (so cool). The musical was great. As each person sang, I heard their words clearly. It was a great performance overall and the local actors were excellent. Can't wait to go back to see another show in this theater.

There is staff in each room to assist in taking photos to recreate your favorite scenes. My husband and I did a fun video of reenacting the famous pivot episode. When you exit, there is merchandise for sale on the lower level. Two suggestions that would have made the experience better is if they lowered the music volume. Additionally, if they could space out number of people for each time slot. There are some people who take more photos than others and it holds the line up. Overall though it was a fun experience and the staff was great. I would recommend it to others.

A Wedding Moment to Remember…read more Tonight at the absolutely stunning 2941 Restaurant, we were soaking in all the beauty--great food, amazing company, and even better dancing. And then something magical happened. While in the lobby, I noticed a mariachi band wrapping up from a nearby party. Without missing a beat, I walked over, greeted them in Spanish, and asked if they could wait a moment. They smiled--of course. I rushed back into the wedding, found the bride and groom, took their hands and said, "Close your eyes. Just trust me." They did. We walked them outside, positioned them in front of the mariachi, and said, "Now open your eyes." And then the music began. The joy on their faces was everything. Guests came pouring out to join the spontaneous celebration. The bride and groom danced to the rich, vibrant sounds of live mariachi. It was unscripted, unforgettable, and full of soul. These are the kinds of moments that make weddings truly special--the kind you carry with you forever. #WeddingMagic #MariachiSurprise #UnforgettableMoments #2941Restaurant #WeddingDayJoy #SpontaneousMagic

I am so glad that I did not allow the reviews I saw before going to the show talk me out of going…read more This show was amazing! I attended the 8:30pm show at Potomac Mills on Saturday, 8/1. Here are a few suggestions to make your experience the most enjoyable! 1. Remove any expectations of Cirque de Soleil. This is NOT your traditional Cirque de Soleil show. I have seen three Cirque shows, 2 in Vegas and one at the National Harbor in DC. This show is not on that level, it is however a nice upgraded circus filled with acrobats, water and lots of of oooh's and aaahhhs. We had two children and two adults. The kids are 5 and 7 and the entire time their eyes and mouths were open wide. Besides, you get what you pay for..and the last few Cirque shows I saw I sure didnt get the tickets for as much as a discount as I got these! 2. Arrive early! Especially if you have discounted tickets. We brought our tickets on GoldStar and there are two lines that will form. One to switch your printed confirmations for a wristband and one to actually get in. Call me a super planner, but we arrived in the area at 5pm. Had dinner at Red Robin, got over to the ticket trailer at exactly 6:30pm (wristtbands available 2 hours before the show) and then waited in the car for a few and got in line at 7:15pm (doors opens 1 hour before the show. They were a little delayed (about 5 mins) but it wasnt bad. Yes, its a lot of waiting, BUT we were the 3rd family in line and had front row blue level (the middle level) seating. Remember seats are 1st come, 1st serve. Although the tent is very intimate and there really are no bad seats, we still wanted to pick the seats we wanted without effort. Gold level ticket holders have a special VIP line and get to go in before everyone else. We had blue levels and our seats were fine. 3. Go to a later show. The heat comments freaked me out! We even saw a woman come out of the 5:30pm show as we waiting drenched in sweat. Our show however was very comfortable and cool and I'm thinking because the sun had gone down. It was warm, but not unbearable hot. So if you can go to a show a night. It will help! 4. Bring cash. The price for food was reasonable--$5 slushy, $5 funnel cakes, $3 large popcorns, etc. Not bad! But they only take cash so plan ahead of time. Also- we didn't do this, but bring your own snacks! They did not check our person and a few bags of popcorn in a ziplock and juices and water in a big purse could save you some money! 5. Sit back and enjoy! With a little planning this is can be a very enjoyable show. The show was long! We didn't get out until 11:15pm, BUT the show was so captivating that we didnt even realize that the time had gone by. It really is a great show!
