It's an interactive play with lots of audience engagement. You can purchase tickets online at the Tulsa Spotlight Theater website. Adult tickets are $28 and children are $15. It's a long show. Doors open at 7pm. The show starts at 7:15 with a singalong of old songs. Everyone has the lyrics in the program to join in. Then, the Olio are the openers. They rotate between dancers, musicians, singers, jugglers, magicians, or even comedians. When I went, there was a magician that was amazing. The main event is an old-fashioned melodrama. During intermission, they serve concessions, beer, coffee, soft drinks and even tomatoes to toss at the villain. The building itself is and feels historic. It's easy to notice on Riverside due to its white and tall facade. They do private events, making it a unique venue option. A group of very dedicated volunteers makes all the magic happen. This is a must-experience Tulsa tradition!

There is other stuff, like a barbecue dinner and Native American performers, but we got tickets for "Oklahoma" only. It was so fun! I had forgot about a lot of the plot (Ado Annie is my girl!). The music was wonderful of course, and there are real horses, loud guns! The lead actors were terrific, the rest of the cast filled in nicely, but wasn't spectacular. My favorite part was the very end when the cast has the audience join in singing "Oklahoma" while horses prance the stage with the Oklahoman and American flags and guns shoot at the end. "We know we belong to the land...." The setting is what makes this show amazing. The stars up above, the cicadas chirping in the trees..... Bring bug spray, and be prepared for a late night if you have little ones, the show didn't end until after 11, and we still had a 2 hour drive back to OKC.

It's a bit quaint (was an old church), so you don't have to dress up. But the entertainment is excellent. I went to see Tulsa! A Radio Christmas Spectacular. It was very funny and highly entertaining. The acting was very good, especially for community theater. The set design was simple, but set the mood appropriately. And the script was hilarious. My only problem was that I sat in the front row on the far side, so I had to turn my neck to see the left part of the stage. In addition, the keyboard was on my side and I couldn't always hear the actors. It wasn't enough to ruin my show, but I will look for a more center seat next time. Afterwards, they served hot cocoa and gave out candy canes. There was time to interact with the actors if you chose to. My husband and I enjoyed our time here and will be looking forward to another show in the near future.

They cater eclectic and queer (in its 'unconventional' meaning) in addition to comedic and quirky, providing entertainment that can be thought- and emotion-provoking as much as, or sometimes more so, than the fare you may find at a conventional, city-claimed performing arts center. The setting is intimate and raw. They do not scare aware easily from controversial performances, and that makes them precious. Some stories just need a safe venue in which to be shared, and they do every one differently with their own bootstrapping, unique style. Everything from a monologue performance of one person's experience with religion to burlesque shows. Others include Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School drawing sessions; musical theater; political dramas; costume parties; crowd-participation comedies; abstract, experimental performance art; underground musical performances; and not to mention they throw an annual Baconfest fundraiser to support their independent local arts AND a Ms. Center of the Universe Pageant that is an in-your-face, snarky, flip of the finger to patriarchal dictation of womanhood.

I would like to share my experience at "The Nutcracker" performance…read more First, this is a ballet it is not simply "The Nutcracker" nor a parody - it is Tchaikovsky's masterpiece known around the world for its music. However, you did not even put Tchaikovsky's name on the cover of the program, website, or billboards and mentioned his name only somewhere inside the program after the artistic manager, premiere sponsor, production team, etc. It looks not simply strange for art lovers - it looks inappropriate. Since the late 1960s, "The Nutcracker" has been danced by many ballet companies, especially in North America. Major American ballet companies generate around 40% of their annual ticket revenues from performances of this ballet. Its score has been used in several film adaptations of Hoffmann's story. I think at least these facts are enough to give tribute to Tchaikovsky's musical talent. Second, Chocolate (Spanish Dance), Coffee (Arabian Dance) Tea (Chinese Dance) were all performed in the costumes reflecting the nature of these dances and the composer's intent. However, Trepak (Russian Dance) instead of traditional Russian costumes was performed in golden driller costumes (yellow work costumes and hard hats). What is it if not erasing Russian culture or in the best case mocking Russian culture? It looks especially absurd given that Tchaikovsky is a great Russian composer. There are many things going on in politics in the modern world, but it cannot justify the vandalism of Russian culture. This is a few minute fragment of the Russian dance from "The Nutcracker" how it is supposed to look. https://youtu.be/1_vP7M0Cock?si=boHqAXKesfNVJTEO My husband, our friends and I left after the scene with the "Russian dance" in American oil worker costumes. We regularly attend symphony concerts, chamber music concerts, etc. Tulsa is a very culturally rich city. However, after what we saw at your performance, we will not be back to any Tulsa ballet performances. Perhaps, somebody from the "creative team" will decide to put clown outfits on the performers in "Dance of The Knights" from S. Prokofiev's ballet "Romeo and Juliet." ???!
