I knew that the band leader Ray Benson had been really sick during the pandemic, so I was glad to see him playing and singing quite well. The Manship was a very well-maintained facility, and everything was spotlessly clean. The seats were a little narrow, but comfortable. I will certainly plan to go back to other shows there again.

Playmakers helps build that foundation for those aspiring thespians. Whether your child has an interest in singing, acting or just loves entertaining people, Playmakers is perfect for them. My daughter took a poetry theatre class with them and was in a group of 4-7 year olds. It was perfect, too, because it was just the students and the teacher in the class (no parents could watch until the finale). It was nothing intense, but got them to memorize several nursery rhymes and perform them in front of the audience (parents & siblings). There was at least 10 kids in the class, so I was amazed to see all children perform in unison. For a teacher to be able take control and teach the kids in a short hour in only 8 weeks is made this worth it for us. The end result and seeing the children perform beautifully was fabulous! I hope she gets to take another class session or a camp with them soon. Check their website for seasonal class sessions that are broken up by age ranges.

Hands down the best community theatre in the Baton Rouge area is Theatre Baton Rouge. You may have…read moreknown it by it's prior name, Baton Rouge Little Theater, but either way- it's quite good. I have experienced well over 50 shows there as a patron and volunteer. The production standards are quite high for a place that relies on volunteers for their pool of talent. They put on over 10 shows a season, including musicals and plays that were on Broadway just a few years prior. The theater itself holds less than 300 patrons, so there's not really a bad seat in the house. They also have a smaller space next door where they put on more avant-garde pieces, which seats around 100. The ticket prices are in line with expectations and a fraction of what you'd pay for the same show in NY.

Ronald Coats is one of the funniest actors they have. And Marion B sings amazing. The costumes are always authentic and the sets have great detail put into them. Every Halloween they put on Rocky Horror picture show. Christmas they do A Christmas Carol. The summer musical is usual great for kids. Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast were great. They do a variety of plays from dramas, comedy's, musicals and suspense. The theater does have a bar, so before the show and at intermission you can grab a drink. I enjoy my nights at the theater and will continue to be a member for a long time.

For this visit, that would be attending a performance of the Baton Rouge Symphony and admiring the Old Capital complex as I walked there and back again. The evening's performance included: - Handel: Zakok the Priest (Coronation Anthem #1) - Bottesini: Concerto, Double Bass, No. 2, B Minor - Brahms: Symphony No. 2. op. 73, D Major. Here were my thoughts (in no particular order) during the concert: 1. The old Charley Tuna Sunkist commercial - Having good taste for being here? 2. Hall is a little over half full and a lot of these folks are older than me! 3. Loved the Handel Chorus. Time to pull out the Messiah CD for the Holidays! 4, John Madere was "The Bomb" on the Contrabass during the Battesini piece. 5. Only got a little sleepy during Brahms. 6. You know, this is a really nice performance space! 7. Best seats are lower level - middle rows. 8. Conductor sure has some energetic gestures! 9. Entire concert (including intermission) lasted only 90 minutes or so. 10. A community treasure. I look forward to being in town sometime in the future for another BRSO performance.

The master series showcases some pretty talented guest musicians. One i loved was Wicked Divas. Two women from broadway came and sang with the orchestra. They were amazing! Even Kristen Chenowith has sang with them. I got to see a very talented violinist come play with the orchestra and an amazing piano player. Christmas time has a lot to offer as well. Home for the Holidays is a great Christmas performance for the whole family. It features a selection of new and old Christmas songs. They also have the sleigh ride selfie. When they play sleigh ride, you take a selfie with the orchestra and sleigh in the background and post it to the BRSO page. My favorite Christmas performance is the brass playing at St. Joseph's Cathedral downtown. It's a beautiful church and the music is so pretty. At the end, the orchestra goes up by the majestic organ in the balcony and plays Hallelujah. It gives me chills every time. The orchestra also has a Christmas performance at Houmas House every year. Then how can you miss the Nutcracker, a Tale from the Bayou. It's a must see for me every year. Beautiful dancing and music! Then in the spring, the orchestra does symphony pops. I went to the one at Rural life museum and they played music from the movies. We sat under the stars and listened. The symphony is a great place to go!

The parking can be a bit tricky for some who haven't been yet but it's easy to figure out. I love the atmosphere and how they pay attention to a wide variety of scenes from Emo and Goth Nights to Disco and Fairy Raves. The staff is always nice and the service runs smooth every time. The bar seems to provide drinks quickly throughout the night. I've never had a bad experience at Chelsea's even when I lost my phone and I will continue to attend concerts and shows there. I've brought all my friends and they've all had a great time as well. Definitely in my go to places for a fun night out alone or with friends!

Waze tends to send to through some areas I don't want to drive solo through, so I usually detour. Parking can be slightly sketch at night, and be aware if you're in heels, you may have to park in gravel/large rocks under the interstate. You are parking at your own risk, so don't leave valuables out. Staff is always there to greet you with a smile. I've never encountered any employee there who didn't seem to be in a pretty good mood. The floor space is large with lots of standing room. Depending on the event, they'll throw some high top tables around. There are two bars, each pretty big, and the bartenders are very attentive, looking around for the next person to serve (which is good because I am short and can get lost under some people). The drinks are a bit pricey, but the liquor is pretty good with a variety. The private events I have attended were well run and staff members were very helpful for those who rented it. The public events are also very well done. Chelsea's Live brings in some pretty big names, so keep your eye out for future events. They also highlight local artists. The stage is high enough to where you can see who's on it no matter where you are in the place. I do wish it was a little easier to get to, but it is certainly worth attending some great shows there!
