The talent, energy, and passion displayed on stage from the beginning to the end were incomparable. This has become one of my go-to places for entertainment...

Definitely an interesting experience, but I admit straight away that this experience is a little…read morepricey. I like the fact that there are daring enough to challenge the audience with nudity (both male and female) in a very tasteful artistic way and I'd give them high regard for that. It honestly reminds me a lot of what the Greeks used to do through the history of their plays and performances. There were a few minor things that I had disagreements about when I went. First off it may have just been that performance but the play I attended just didn't see them that well written. Again it could've been a bad play on this attendance and it doesn't mean I won't give it another chance to see if the writing of gotten a little better. On a positive side, it was good to see them use actors who are new to the acting experience to get them seasoning. So when you go you will definitely see local upcoming talent on stage. The other negative part I have was the sound quality. They had to use headset with microphone which I thought took away from the experience of watching one on stage. There are a lot of feedback issues, dropped sound quality, and the likes which took away from the experience. I think though this too could be rectified with a little work backstage for the next time. I would like to go again and see what they have to offer. Definitely This place gives you a whole new perspective to the idea of theater which I think is a good idea. It is a pricey ticket though so be forewarned.

We went to see Million Dollar Quartet and it was amazing. These musicians killed it. The bass…read moreplayer almost stole the show. You really felt like you were in Memphis at Sun Studio with Elvis and the legends. Parking is free in adjacent lots. There is a bar with snacks and drinks open before the show, and if you want to order a drink ahead of time for intermission it will be ready and waiting for you. Great venue.

My wife and I watched a play for the first time today. It was a great experience. We watched…read more"Come From Away", a play about the town of Gander, Newfoundland who sheltered 7,000 people for 5 days after 9/11. It's a very nice venue. Parking is close (and free). If you like you can take the Light Rail there also. The Stephenson theater, where we saw the play, seats 500. There are no bad seats. The play itself was very well done. We thoroughly enjoyed it! We'll be back.

I checked out Herberger Theater Center for the first time for an event hosted by Fever: The Jury…read moreExperience. Located downtown, this charming theater puts on various performances (plays, musicals, and The Empire Strips Back (a Star Wars burlesque parody) to name a few. Parking is notoriously bad downtown but here's a cheat code: if you park at the Arizona Center's parking garage, the Herberger will validate your parking ticket for a deep discount off of the fee. It's not free but it's a deep discount. Just talk to the box office and they will take care of you. The theater itself is a charming, old-school theater. We enjoyed the event and the seats were relatively comfortable. We were on the upper level and didn't have any issues seeing the stage. In the lobby, you can find some concessions selling drinks and snacks. I went with a beer. You're allowed to bring it into the theater, but there are no cup holders. Upon leaving, I found out that for certain parts of the year, there are free concerts in the grassy area outside of the theater. I'll definitely have to check that out at some point, and also come back for another perfromance!

Went last night to hear Marshall Tucker Band. Two couples came in and sat behind us. All were…read moreinebriated beyond belief, but they were allowed to keep buying more alcohol. The chair to my right was empty. One of the women decided she needed to kick it repeatedly. I kindly explained I am still recovering from stomach surgery and that was painful for me. She stopped for a bit, but after intermission and more booze, she made a sport of it. I again asked her to stop. Then the woman she was with (sister?) started mouthing off. One of the men they were with went for more booze and got lost (really? It's a tiny place!). The group hooted and yelled for him until the other man went and physically got him. My husband and I did not drink ANYTHING, by the way. We finally had enough and left about halfway through MTB. Security and an employee of Celebrity were notified. All we got was "sorry". They didn't make any effort to even check on the situation. We won't spend the money and time to just be hassled and abused by drunken bullies. Sooo disappointed!! Celebrity used to be one of my favorite venues. I will never recommend it to anyone and am very doubtful I will return. Shame on Celebrity Theatre for not caring and for selling obviously drunk people more alcohol!! If I could give negative stars, I would.

It had been years since I had last seen a show here. It was a group of us 4 ready to see Aly and…read moreAJ. We arrived about 15 minutes before the opening act and there was plenty of parking. We walked on over to the "will call" area and here I was given our 4 tickets. The ticket worker was friendly and told us to enjoy the show after he handed them to me. We went through security, got our 21+ stamps and we headed on inside via the lounge area. We bought two drinks - one pumpkin espresso martini and one white chocolate cold brew. Both drinks were good, and the bartender was nice. The espresso martini was stronggggggg and I deff had a buzz going on after I finished it. Merch was being sold down in this area as well and there were plenty of seats and tables. We went inside once the opener started singing and we had pretty good seats. The seats were comfy but a little too small in my opinion. The sound sounded great. The concert was fun and the experience was good. I wouldn't mind seeing another show here in the future!

I previously reached out to Stage Left Productions months ago regarding tickets to a different show…read moreand never received a response. I let that go at the time, assuming it was an isolated issue. Unfortunately, I am now having a similar and even more concerning experience. I recently purchased tickets for an upcoming production and only discovered that the company is listed as "temporarily closed" when I visited the website to confirm the address. No notification was ever sent to inform ticket holders that the production would no longer be taking place. Since learning this, I have reached out multiple times to request information about when I would receive a refund for my ticket. To date, I have received no response. The lack of communication, accountability, and basic customer service is extremely disappointing. Customers should not have to actively investigate whether a paid event is still happening, nor should they be left without responses regarding refunds for canceled productions.

I really enjoyed "Grand Horizons" with its well written dialogue and the perfect casting. Layers of each character peeled away as more and more was revealed about them, and I gained a deeper understanding of each. My "loyalty" to certain characters kept shifting which made it interesting and just like life and its complexities. Much success in your new home Stage Left!

I've also attended their annual Die Hard Christmas and The Princess Bride. This is an adult puppet show with adult humor. The actors are so creative and the puppets are each so unique. It is a small venue, so all seats are great seats. They serve cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks as well as snacks. If you and friends are looking for a hilarious amd unique experience, you need to catch a show here!

These are truly adult only puppet shows. Amazing and talented people. Think improv with puppets. They are crazy good! The ring leader of the group is a gentleman (I think he would be really impressed I used that term!) named Shaun Michael McNamara. Funny, talented and even part of his cast! Don't accidently go to Phoenix Theater when you come to the show. It is a smaller more intimate theater across the street in the BMO building. Snacks and beer and wine available. You also park free in the lot next door. I would get tickets to any show. None will disappoint!
