The Colony Theater is a historic performing arts center on Lincoln Road in Miami. Built at a cost…read moreof $150,000, it first opened as a 1,200 seat Art Deco Paramount Pictures movie house on January 25, 1935 with actress Carol Lombard as the guest of honor. In the 1940's during WWII, the theater showed health and training videos to GI's in training. In the 1960's the movie theater was renovated along with all of Lincoln Road in the MiMo style of architecture (midcentury modern). Seating capacity was reduced to 894 seats. In the ensuing years the Colony used as a movie house and a live performance space. In 1971 Samuel Kipnis purchased the theater and used it to host The Greater Miami Educational Cultural Series and he showed educational films from his private collection. In 1982 ownership of the theater was taken over by the City of Miami Beach and the Miami City Ballet used it as a performance space. In 2006 the Colony Theatre underwent a $6.5 million renovation that returned it to its original Art Deco style and updated it with new light and sound equipment. I love when a historic building is saved, especially when it is such a wonderful example of Art Deco architecture. How wonderful that the theater is still being used today. It is even said to be haunted to be the spirit of a barking poodle and one that likes to hang out by the main stage and lobby. Today the Colony Theatre is a 417 seat performance venue managed by South Florida theater company, Miami New Drama who perform their theatrical season in the theater. The Colony also hosts film festivals, comedy, music, dance, and theater performances. The theater is nicknamed "Miami's Beauty Queen." Make like the golden age of Hollywood and take in a show. .

That's really the key to a long relationship-seeing each other on a regular basis, doing things that are fun and different outside of the house, consistent quality time without work interruptions. Making this a priority - is important. All of you out there "newlyweds" trust me it makes a difference. So we went to the Colony theater on Lincoln Road. It was a cool night -perfect for a cocktail, relaxing and easy.. no hurry just taking in the sights and sounds. Latin music playing in the background, smell of perfume and spices in the air- outdoor cafes with with the warmth of flame lamps lighting the cool air. Breezing into the theater the sweet girl at the door greeted us with a huge smile and scanned our tickets. I fell in love with the play " Anna in the Tropics" this extraordinary play written by the Pulitzer Prize winner Nilo Cruz-playwright and director -is a work of art! It demonstrates the power of literature to move and inspire you. One of my favorite books, Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, is central to this play. I thoroughly enjoyed the powerful images presented in this masterpiece. Art and literature came together in an extraordinary and impactful way. It is a play for adults because it deals with strong themes. But it is well done! I highly recommend this play! It is worth every penny. The quaint theatre situated on Lincoln Road surrounded by restaurants and bars was also quite comfortable and accommodating.

Clubesque is a new burlesque experience brought to Miami Beach (Filmore Theater) by producer and…read morevocalist Sunni Stephens. This Burlesque show, called Cocktails and Cabaret, unites classic American standards like "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" with contemporary pop songs like "Uptown Funk." It is classy, polished, playful, sensual, colorful and upbeat. Sunni Stephens is a great vocal talent with great stage presence, an approachable diva with wit, sass, and charm, and dripping with sexiness and sensuality. She brings highly respected Burlesque artists from across the world with wide ranging styles but all with artistry. I especially liked Pearle. Josette Pimenta is another excellent vocalist who is a perfect complement to Sunni Stephens. Often they sing together. They both fully possess the sexiness, sultry charm, playfulness, and strong stage presence in the style of the Marilyn Monroe era. Nicely mingled between ballads are first rate dancers with talent, style, energy and saltiness of the historic Vegas era. Jennifer Solano is the choreographer and lead dancer. She is a veteran Vegas dance, consummate artist with exceptional timing, skill, rhythm and flair. She owns the stage when she performs. She and her dancers wear fabulous and colorful Vegas style outfits with hats. Altogether, Clubesque offers great singing, a humorous drag queen hostess Noel Leon, beautiful dancing, and energy to have you cheering for more. If you like the music of great American standards, Donna Summers, Cher, Latin dance, and Sinatra classics, you'll find that and more. Open bar and table seating add to the old Hollywood and Vegas ambience. They all come off the stage and sing and dance by your seat. You won't get that kind of intimacy from major pop performers. Miami is fortunate to have such talent dedicated to offering a fun, sexy and lively musical production at a reasonable price. Go see it! Bring your partner and friends. Everyone I have taken has loved it. I bet you will too!

The line was a bit long but it moved fast once my friend and I realized the cash line was separated. Upon entering you have a food station with freshly made small portion food. I had tuna sashimi, mushroom veggie burger and truffle popcorn. All of it tasted great but my favorite was the tuna drizzled with soy sauce, sesame seeds, and some hard crusted tempura like crackers. So yummy! The rest of the space is filled with wall and live art with people painted in body art posing and being a part of the art themselves. Very unique and not your normal art event. There is a lot of nudity in the art and per the name of this event, you should leave your kids at home! Everything is tasteful which was great. It took my friend and I about 2 hours to look and enjoy. I'm so glad I finally experienced Nude Nite, you should too!!

We came 2 weeks…read moreapart and had completely different experiences with the latter being the most disappointing making it hard to want to come back. We came for Sunday brunch both times. The first time there was the full menu available, as well as brunch deals. The second time, we were limited to the brunch deal menu. The options were coffee, tea or soda; one menu item; and one dessert of the restaurant's choosing, which for our date was apple crisp. No one was really interested in the apple crisp but that ended up being the best part of the meal. The prices had increased significantly between our two visits due to the brunch "deal" and was supposedly also due to a performance fee. Well, here's what the performance was: three songs over the course of 2.5 hours, each promised to be 15 minutes apart but that wasn't the case. It was Halloween/Hocus Pocus themed and one drag witch went all out with their costume, the next about 75% and the last came as Sarah Jessica Parker...from Sex and the City, NOT from Hocus Pocus. While this served as comedic relief, if we're paying extra for this show, the least they could do is actually practice and coordinate the costumes appropriately. It was clear not much prep happened ahead of time. The food was extremely underwhelming and all came out at different times. As it goes, the person who got his food last was by far the hungriest when we arrived, ordered the same as someone else so we're not sure why it was so late, but by the time the last people in our group were getting their food, many of us had already finished. It was also unbearably cold on one side of the space and not in the other. The food was all pretty bland and left a lot to be desired especially since the show itself was a mess as well.
