The quality of the performances is consistently outstanding, and it's something we truly look forward to. That said, Moby Dick was, without a doubt, my all-time favorite. The musicians, cast, and crew were absolutely phenomenal. The stage design was incredibly realistic--I genuinely felt like we were right there on the ship with them. It was immersive, powerful, and beautifully executed. Thank you for continuing to deliver such memorable and high-quality productions!

We rented the space for our performance. We asked that the piano be tuned before we got there and…read morewe were assured it would be. It was not. We hired a lighting designer for the performance, unfortunately 3/4 away through, the system failed and they were un restore it. We finished the performance with house lights. Considering how much we paid for the space, I would've thought they would've offered us a compensation for the inconvenience. Or at least a written apology. We wrote them about these issues and we never heard back. very disappointed. Apart from the non-response, everyone had been very helpful to that point. Well since posting this review, Kat from the venue called and apologized for the piano not being tuned and refunded us some. We enjoy working with this company. Appreciate the follow through.

Server was ignoring us and we had to stand up and flag her down to get her attention. Limited food menu that's way overpriced. Nuts, crackers , cheese, and deli meats.

I don't expect a full kitchen or the food to replace a meal but I do expect you to be prepared. Your statement about your "hospitality specialists" being focused on attentiveness is false and was my exact point. I was giving an honest review so others know what to expect. Maybe instead of getting defensive and tooting your own horn you should try to fix what your business is lacking to stay relevant. Good luck pal.

The last review was 11 years ago! it's time for an update:)…read more I signed up for the Legendary Rhythm and Blues Cruise (LRBC), because my aunt loves it, the thought being it's an awesome experience, sharing something a love one is passionate about together. Let me tell you, I fell in love myself, and was totally hooked on The LRBC, within a few hours of stepping on the ship. The accommodations, food, staff are all wonderful. The cruise is always on Holland America's new ships. My cabin was fairly spacious with a lovely veranda. However, what really made the cruise were the people and the music! Music was going 24/7, and the talent was hot! I was able to dance my heart away day and night. Some nights I never went to bed. It was such an incredible experience, all that was needed was a few hours sleep here, a couple hours of sleep there. I made so many connections and friendships with fellow cruisers. There's quite a few cruisers and artists I've kept in close touch with, since coming off the ship in January. The vibe on the ship is warm, welcoming, and full of heart. I've already booked for January, 2026! One thing to note about booking is: it's almost impossible to get on the boat as a newcomer. The cabins are mostly booked out for the following year cruise, by the time you get off the boat. There are a few cabins that are left, after prior cruisers are done booking. If you want to get on the boat, make sure to sign up for email notifications on the LRCB web page. There will be an email sometime in late March/early April announcing cabins and waitlists to the public. If you get on your computer and refresh the bookings page right as it opens, or call right when the list opens, you may have a chance of getting a cabin, but if not, at least you'll be fairly high on the waitlist. 2025, #17

This Cruise is NOT for you ! You will absolutely HATE being in the Caribbean in January, exploring…read moretropical Islands and basking in the warm sunshine. Also, you will utterly detest the almost 24-hour a day live Blues music that is on this ship - it is just too noisy with the likes of Johnny Winter, Taj Mahal, Dion DiMucci, Keb Mo, Magic Slim, Tommy Castro, etc., etc. And, you will definitely despise hanging out and parting for a week with these same performers into the wee small hours of the night. So for the love of Zeus, please please stay away from this Cruise - I'm begging you !

The things one does to be able to spend the day with their Mother. Over the weekend, I attend a…read moreshow here with my mother and her Church Lady Friends called 'First Ladies of Country'. Now, I am not a Country fan, but my mother is and growing up in a household listening to Country I knew any of the songs, and acts that were performed. I will admit I do love me some Patsy Cline. I didn't really consider her a Country artist, but to each their own. The 3 main tributes were Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton. The show was performed by 3 main stage Ladies who did most of the Cover songs either as a solo or all together. They had a band that consisted of a piano, bass guitar, steel guitar, and a percussionist. They were great, they clearly practice, and put a lot of time and effort in perfecting their craft. Now I will admit I don't know how much the tickets cost for the show, my mother bought them. But I do know that she is a season ticket holder and stated they were reasonable prices. I know she enjoys doing these things with her friends. The area was somewhat small, but really there wasn't a bad seat in the house, which was mentioned many times when I was there. The parking area felt even smaller. Good thing the church ladies carpool. They recommended pulling in backwards to the parking spot, as it is easier when exiting the small lot. There is a small concession area I believe for during intermissions. I enjoyed myself, but mostly so I could spend the time with my mom while visiting. Would I go again? Only if she wanted me too, but otherwise no. I felt out of place, and it just wasn't something I would normally go see. Was it great for the majority of the age group, YES, did they have a blast, YES, will they be returning, HECK YES. Thank you to the staff and performers for a great show, even if it wasn't my cup of tea.

It's been awhile...too long...since I attended a show here…read more An Evening With The Remmerts was so enjoyable! Especially for the over 55 crowd. Brought back lots of memories! Loved the humor!

GGFH books touring acts from around the nation and usually pairs them with amazing talent from the region. It is a great listening room with a good sound system and acoustics, and seating is available for a couple hundred; soft drinks, beer and wine are available. Last night I witnessed longtime Kansas City artist Two Headed Cow open for an amazing duo out of Nashville - A Tale of Two (check them out if you like great storytelling, 5 star resonator guitar playing and a jazz vocalist doing overtime in the blues and folk world). I have also seen great artists in the past such as Victor and Penny, Rupert Wates, Chuck Brodsky, Danny Schmidt.... A perfect space to become intimate with a favorite artist or discover something new. The ability to meet and chat with the artists is always available at the intermissions and post show. Bring some cash to tip the opening act and take home some merchandise to further support the artists. The organizer Mike and his volunteer crew are providing KC a great service by bringing in the type of artist that usually has trouble booking these types of midsize gigs that are not in a noisy bar. We are lucky to have such a program here in town. Worthy of support from anyone that values live music.

The Quality Hill Playhouse (and its kindred spirit, the Chestnut Fine Arts Center in Olathe) put on full seasons of shows featuring the best in American popular music. Tonight I went with my family to celebrate some birthdays by seeing "Lets Do It," an evening devoted to the lyrics of the immortal Cole Porter. It was de-lightful, de-licious and de-lovely! The theater is small, so all the seats are good. It has been refurbished recently, and looks very nice! The theater staff were very kind and accommodating -- we had originally bought tickets for the Wednesday night show, but my elderly parents were nervous about going out because of the severe weather we were having that day. The theater exchanged the tickets for tonight and, because of the severe weather issue, waived their usual $5 per ticket exchange fee. That was a nice thing to do! This was the final show of the season. Next year's season will feature shows highlighting Noël Coward and Gertrude Lawrence and the songs of Rodgers and Hart, Comden and Green, and Kander and Ebb. (Kander is originally from K.C.) See their website for specific details, or for subscription information. The shows are very well done, with excellent selections of songs and thoroughly professional performances. There's parking available in the garage of which the theater is actually a part (it occupies the street level of the building). It's usually $6. So go and enjoy!!!

For those non-locals like me who haven't been going for 20 years, it's an outdoor free music festival held once a year in Corporate Woods Business Park. All donations and proceeds concessions and such go to local children's charities. What I really appreciated about the event was that many of the concessions were run by local favorites like La Bodega, Jack Stack and Bo Ling's. Don't worry though, you can still get your nacho's and funnel cake for those seeking a some traditional fair food. Beer, wine and sangria also flows aplenty! Live Jazz playing Friday and Saturday night and there's a fun run on Saturday morning. Personally the run is not for me after all the Sangria from Friday night, you won't catch this girl tackling a 5K or 10K. But don't worry runners, I'm here for moral support! I'll meet you for another glass of Sangria at the finish line! Hints - Don't bring a cooler, they aren't allowed as you are supposed to buy the food there. Before you complain remember it's for the kids. Trust me I'm using that line all weekend "I need this kettle corn, it's for the kids!" - Bring blankets and lawn chairs, no seating in the park. Unless you are going fancy and buying a seat ($60) in the jazz pavilion (read: picnic tabled area with while picket fence)! - Bring cash. Enough said. - Come early to stake out your claim in the grass and to deal with parking. How can you not love it? Free jazz, an excuse to relax in the park all afternoon and evening and eat and drink your weight in goodies from local eateries! This might have to be my new KC tradition!
