I had bought her a Rumi Halloween outfit and she wore it to the circus. She was so excited when they came on stage. All the kids were singing to the Golden song. It was well worth the money to get vip seating. After their show they had pictures for $20 with the K-pop singers. My granddaughter is shy, so for her to be the first one up there for pictures tells you how excited she was. The circus performers were awesome, and the juggler was pretty amazing.

The time just flew by and I was in good company. The role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter was casted as a woman and let me tell you, JJ freaking KILLED it. I was in complete awe. They took me through a whole experience and showed me a side of Rocky Horror that I adored even more than the original. All of the performers were amazing. The acting, the singing - all phenomenal - but JJ was definitely the star of the show and I look forward to many more shows in the future. (With both spirits!)

First time at this haunted house and it was really cool!…read moreThere are 4 haunted houses inside, and once you get in, they give you a wrist band and little pass. Each time you go through a house, they rip the pass so you can't go back--but you can take as long as you want to explore. We went for my daughter's birthday, and our whole group had so much fun. Highly recommend it for a spooky and memorable time!

It felt like we experienced the haunted houses alone. Another plus was the food trucks, after our scare we enjoyed street tacos. I definitely had a blast and will go again.

Sadly, I was so disappointed by this event…read more The biggest issue was HOW HARD IT WAS TO HEAR. Even though the actors were using microphones, much of the dialogue was difficult to make out. The event also requires you to talk with people at your table and move around the room to gather clues, but it was very hard to hear those conversations as well. Because the whole experience depends on hearing what others are saying, that made participating in the mystery frustrating. The other issue was pacing, it always felt like we were being rushed to do our next steps. The ACTORS THEMSELVES WERE EXCELLENT, and the mystery and the overall format seemed well designed. It felt like it could have been a really fun event, but the noise and acoustics made it hard to follow what was happening. There was also one issue with the food service. I could not get a glass of water for quite a while, even though I asked multiple times. I was extremely thirsty and eventually had to stand near where the waitstaff entered the room and wait until someone could bring me a glass. Overall, the concept and performers were good, but the SOUND AND ROOM SETUP MADE IT DIFFICULT TO ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE.

The directions and clue binders were well explained, illustrated, and just the right amount of cheeky. I loved the combination of storytelling, humor, and improv!!

The viewing aspect of the show was pretty underwhelming. Unless you are in the front 3 rows you have a pretty poor view of the stage and the "candle light" experience of the show.

So happy that this group offers such fun opportunities in the Sacramento area. I was driving by the…read moreColonial Theater on my way to Forgotten Bakery and saw that Rocky Horror Picture Show would be playing in July. I immediately searched for more information and talked to some of my friends about it and we decided to buy tickets. The ticket portal from Amber's Sweets was easy to navigate and I felt like it was reasonably priced for tickets. The group was also really well organized, got everyone into the venue and the show was great. The last time I saw Rocky Horror Picture Show was in Ohio fifteen years ago and I cannot believe we're almost at the 50th anniversary of Rocky Horror Picture Show. We didn't opt in for the event kits this time, but they looked so fun and were also reasonably priced. Next time I'd definitely add it on. Would 100% go again.

Think Rocky Horror meets Blade Runner meets rock-opera, but with more guts than you can shake a small intestine at. I've seen the Ambers Sweets perform twice, though I missed their last show. As far as shadow casts go, they are excellent! Everyone was high-energy and had great timing and very expressive body language. They were very creative with sets and props and made use of the entire theatre. I love being at shows where characters dance in the aisles. Though there are Repo! shadow casts all around the country, the Ambers Sweets were the first (and as far as I'm aware, ONLY) casts to suspend their Blind Mag from the ceiling in the opera scene. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, it was difficult to do and looked awesome. If you're a Tash Film Orgy, Rocky Horror, or Mr. Lobo fan this is right down your alley. Grab some blue glow-sticks and get ready to TESTIFY! Their website has all their show dates, and I noticed that someone has been posting them on here too.

I've been attending Broadway Sacramento (formerly known as Broadway Series) musicals here for the…read morepast decade, as well as the Music Circus. Basically these are the national/domestic/U.S. touring companies -- so not truly "community" theater as the venue name might suggest. My first show at CCT was Les Miserables, actually. In the Heights, West Side Story, Wicked, Avenue Q, Starlight Express, Mamma Mia!, Chicago, The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Jersey Boys, Phantom of the Opera, Rent, and Spring Awakening...One of my favorite non-musical shows I've seen here was Kristen Chenoweth in concert (the original Glinda from Wicked, and Pushing Daisies, GCB, etc.). So awesome. ...anyway, I've sat in all the different seats: orchestra near the front, rear orchestra, balcony front row, balcony boxes, and second grand tier. If you can, splurge on seats in the orchestra level (middle to front) for the best acoustics and views. The rear orchestra is fine if you care more for listening to the show or focusing on the bigger picture/staging than seeing the particular actor's faces so much. The balconies aren't stacked on top of the orchestra as far forward as in other theaters, but the box seats are roomier for sure. Be aware that the front row of the balconies does have a bar/railing to help people walk across, but can hinder the view of the stage once you're actually sitting down. The staff is pretty friendly and helpful with finding seating, will call tickets aren't a problem, and tickets by phone are easy too. For all the ladies out there, here's a tip. Instead of waiting forever in the lines for women's restrooms inside the Community Center Theater, make sure to bring your show ticket with you, exit the rear of the building and use the bathrooms at the adjacent Sacramento Convention Center Complex. Parking-wise, I usually use the Capitol Garage at 10th and L Streets and it never exceeds $5. I really wish that they had a marquee at the entrance to the theater along L Street instead of just in front of the Convention Center along J Street. They've improvised with banners across the building, or the parking the tour busses/bigrig trucks in front of the theater, with a few posters in the glass display cases in the lobby. The newer format of the seasons (fewer shows, shorter runs) isn't ideal, and there have been a few technical difficulties (mics and set pieces) but I am still a faithful patron. Sacramento has a "little sister" stigma because what city can measure up to San Francisco? SF is an amazing (and amazingly expensive) place, and as a Sacramento resident and theatergoer, sure SF shows are great too (you know you're in a pricey seat when the teeny old theaters have renovation fees included in the price and legroom is on par with coach airline rows, and the balconies already cost $50 minimum) but only once in awhile for my wallet/budget's sake. Go see a show at the Community Center Theater, at least once. 2013-2014's lineup (November-June) includes Priscilla, Buddy, Flashdance, Blue Man Group, Sister Act, and Wicked.
