We learned about the murder and the suspects. Then we all went outside for an hour to look for the hidden clues for Who did it. In the program is a page to fill out with the clues you find and the name of the alleged murderer. Then you submit your information online or by turning it in. Then, back at the theater, we learned more about the suspects alibis, and we learned who the murderer was. The attendee who got everything correct won a gift basket that included tickets to an upcoming show. Memberships are available or buy single tickets to shows. VIP tickets include hors d'oeuvres and beverages before the show and dessert afterward. We had a wonderful evening. Parking can be difficult to find so give yourself plenty of time.

Located on Lee and actually seems to share a building with the public library. Got student tickets to Land of Oz for a show on a Friday. I bought them in person and the lady at the counter was super helpful and let me know about affordable ways to see a show like the "pay what you can" prices an hour before the show- which I definitely recommend for any weekday showings. You can also volunteer as an usher and see the show for free. Basically all seats offer a really good view because it is a smaller theater. But wow!!!! So much talent in one show. The actors were all amazing singers and dancers. It was pretty hilarious too. Very cool and creative set and costume design. My expectations were not the highest- I was a little unsure of seeing a show in a cleveland suburb, but I was absolutely blown away. They also serve reasonably prices drinks at the bar and even had a few special cocktails based on the theme of the show which was cute.

This is a really cute little theater that is a well kept secret, very easily overlooked. I know I…read morehad never heard of it until Yelp's ticket giveaway. It's actually in the same building as the town's library and only has 5 rows, so all seats offer a good view. The play we saw was wonderful, living up to the expectations of an Obie Award winner. Tickets are inexpensive, and the shows only play for about a month each. I think most of those in attendance have been longtime membership holders and go often. It's time that the theater reach other demographics, and I would strongly recommend going based on my experience! Bonus: you get 10% off your bill at the wine bar Taste across the street with a same day ticket, but the discount does not apply to happy hour.

After a long time away from the pandemic, I revisited the Alex Theater for a Queens of the 9 show…read more It's still as fun as I remembered. The Alex Theater is located inside The 9 Hotel and you do not have to be a hotel guest to attend a show at Alex Theater. Valet your car (it's just the easiest parking) and simply walk straight in to the elevators and click the call button for Alex Theater. The Alex Theater has a full bar (no snacks) and can seat about 100 people comfortably between the leather recliners and high-top tables that are sometimes assembled. The programming at the Alex is always five-stars. Check their website regularly and you'll see evenings for drag, live bands, magic shows, film events and more. I want to give kudos to the staff. A very annoying, obnoxiously drunk couple was next to us and ruining our experience. At intermission, we let the staff know and they discretely took care of the situation. The Alex is a classy place, and if I wanted a rowdy night out, I'd be at a college bar. A night out at the Alex Theater is always a fun experience and I can't recommend it enough!

This is the most positive, diverse, and loving space you will find in the region. You never know what you will see on stage, and the people who put on these shows -- from the production team and dancers to the sound team and venue staff -- are all highly engaged and professional while still appearing to enjoy what they are doing. The crowds are always super fun and having a blast. Just another wonderful art and community experience in the underrated CLE!

It's almost Latinx Heritage Month and I want to shoutout the lovely and wonderful LeFemme Mystique!…read moreI honestly can't believe I haven't reviewed this artistic gem sooner. Bella, the owner and Burlesque Queen of Cleveland, is a true visionary that energizes Ohio with her brilliantly curated programs, events and festivals. She believes in restoring the art of burlesque into Cleveland as it once was in its vintage heyday. All her troupes performances are super fun, engaging and classy, blending the art of burlesque into a beautiful evening out. While they don't have any performances right now due to the pandemic, this is a fabulous and inclusive business owned by a completely rad woman. You can always count on a LeFemme event to be a glamorous and cool night out!

The venue is absolutely beautiful! The seats are comfortable, the restrooms clean, the parking convenient. (Please note the parking is $10.00, I handed them ten in cash and they said they only take credit card). The music SUPERB! A great birthday concert for my husband! My only disappointment is that the program was not available throughout the entire show. :( . I suspect the wonderful musicians were listed but sadly, they only mentioned their names. I love that they had a digital QR code for the program, but they really needed to have it loaded and not pointing to the previous candlelight concert !!

Check in was very easy and finding our seats was simple, which made the event feel really organized. Parking costs money but wasn't too complicated and there was a golf cart type of shuttle which helped since it was raining. The ambiance is beautiful and truly one of a kind. I especially loved that some of the seating is church style pews, which gives the space a really cool historic feel. The sound quality was excellent, and we could hear the speaker clearly from our seats. Overall a really special place to see an event, talk, or performance.

"A change is on the way, I can feel it for you." -- BKYLN: The Musical…read more I visited for the first time on the 17th of February 2024 to watch BKYLN: The Musical. The play was wonderful with many young, talented actors. It was about a young girl, Brooklyn, who is trying to make it as a singer living in New York City while searching for her father but living without her mother who died young in Paris. Brooklyn has to compete in a music competition with a rival and more scandalous singer and that's when the fun of everything begins. If you enjoy live singing and dancing then you would have loved this musical. I didn't get a chance to walk around the theatre after the play but I later read online that there is a cafe there incase you want something to eat or drink. I love that this theatre has a "Pay What You Can" payment structure to ensure that theatre is available for everyone. Thus, when you pay for your ticket, you can pay any amount that you feel comfortable paying or that you can afford. The theatre provides recommended payment amounts on their website to help you decide what to pay if you are unsure. I will certainly be back here to watch another play. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 12/150 total reviews in 2024 - 662 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 16 March 2024
