The acoustics did not drown out their chattering. It's not a large venue and seating is organized by zones rather than fixed seats; staff directs you to a specific row within your zone. We purchased tickets for the Candlelight Orchestra through FEVER. Apparently Zeiders rents out their space for events, so tickets for this event could only be purchased online and not directly from the venue. The venue isn't large and has stadium seating. I'm not sure if they were trying to freeze us out, but the AC was blowing full force in January. They sell snacks at the concession stand. The entrance is on the second floor, and street or garage parking is available.

Great for date night or anyone who enjoys orchestra or symphonies on an intimate scale. Any seat is great no matter where because of the stadium seating. However, people behind us were carrying on a conversation during the performance, which was extremely rude and took away from the experience. Honestly, if you want to socialize, please do so at an appropriate place (preferably at your home or the lobby) and not during the performance. It's extremely rude and people pay to experience the concert, NOT your conversation. Great experience minus the rude conversation behind us.. where is the manners!!!

The Virginia Stage Company's "A Very Merry Christmas Carol" at the Wells Theatre has become a…read moreholiday tradition for our family and this year did not disappoint. The entire audience seemed excited for the performance, with the Christmas spirit felt throughout the lobby and theater. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The available concessions were tasty, though the spiked eggnog was sorely missed this year. One recommendation would be to improve communication regarding drink availability at the bars. If certain beverages are not served at the theater entrance bar (like hot cocoa and coffee), they should not appear on that menu, or guests should be informed before waiting in line. I witnessed dozens of theatergoers being told after a long wait that hot drinks were only available at the side bar by the front windows which created a lot of unnecessary frustration. The Wells Theatre has a wonderful antique nostalgia while remaining well maintained and very clean. We were fortunate to experience the show from a completely different seat location that previous years, on the opposite side of the house, and the updated writing and script changes were enough to keep the production feeling fresh and engaging. We also appreciated the intermission being placed after the First Spirit rather than after the Second, as in previous years, as it made the acts feel more balanced. Additionally, the return of the Third Spirit's in-audience entrance was definitely appreciated.

There isn't a bad seat in the house and the volunteers absolutely go out of their way to make sure everything is as perfect as possible.

The costumes, direction and choreography of the plays is spot on and the attention to detail is very professional. I am always blown away at the level of professionalism here. As I said earlier, it's a level above what one normally finds in community theater. It is a fun experience to attend these performances. There is lots of parking and everything is handicapped accessible. Do yourself a favor and take in a show.

I attend a showing of this on Wednesday night with 3 friends, not really sure of what to expect…read more We were one of the few groups there without children, so I was a bit apprehensive when we first arrived. However, as soon as the show began we were captivated. It was very exciting from start to finish and not like any other event I have been to in this area before. The performance was about 2 hours, divided into many smaller performances that were each about 5 - 8 minutes (guesstimating) . Of all the performances, there was only one that we thought was a little cheesy. Otherwise, we loved the show and had a great time. I was considering bringing my 4 year old niece, but there are parts of the show that I thought could be scary to a small child. I would guess most of the kids there were probably 6-10 years old. If you're looking for something different to try out, definitely give this a go. The arena is pretty small too, so i wouldn't recommend paying the VIP price for tickets, since there's only about 20 rows of seats anyway.

They are reasonably priced. Yay! They have a room or 2 for the parents to sit. You can't watch them until the last 10 minutes. AWESOME. Free time for Mommy! That part I love! My kid loves it. That get a sticker at the end. I hear them give out tons of compliments to the kids but she also keeps them in line. It's working great for us. Don't hesitate to give them a try

The costumes were wonderful. Seeing the five year olds perform California girls in their little surfer girl costumes was so adorable I almost teared up. The adult dancers were truly moving with ballet, tap, interpretive and other dance styles.

Hats off to the high fliers and all those who performed way up in the air defying gravity. The show was excellent. The message of family and each generation bringing the next along and upward was touching. At the end, all the cultures and nations of the performers were highlighted.

We were able to park right across the street and walk on over right as the doors were about to open for our Sunday, 1 pm show, We were in rather quickly and through the security monitoring where we were able to then snag some snacks and drinks before we headed to our seats. We sat in the dress circle in row A and let me just say that was a great choice. With our seven-year-old along, it can be difficult to keep her still so this seat choice allowed us a little bit of space in a spot to lean and helped her stay engaged in watching the whole production. The only complaints that I have, is that when it is a full house, there aren't nearly enough bathrooms available for the short intermission. And of course, snacks and drinks are probably the same although, to be honest, I didn't stand in line for those so I can't say for certain, just from what I saw heading to the restroom. That being said, our seating is fab and we had a great view, even from up high!
