If you are a Concert lover or just causally enjoy renewing your past music loves, or new musical…read morepassions then I recommend the Savannah Civic Center to you a solid choice to entertain your passion. It is one of the two best entertainment venues offered in the oldest City in Georgia. It is secure when entering, and their Security Staff (yes, the people responsible for telling you can't, which we all enjoy immensely because we are put on the spot thinking "What do I do with it now?"), are polite, respectful, conscientious, and will put you out should you decide to act out and disrupt everyone else's excited anticipation of the event. The food, when available is OK for a quick snack at the Johnny Mercer Theater (yes, they are one in the same). However, we prefer to enjoy dinner first at one of Savannah's remarkable restaurants which are plentifully depending upon your zeal for delectable gastronomic taste experience you desire. We enjoy making an evening of an enthralling musical or entertainment experience but want to spread the responsibility for helping us make our memory which we hope will last a lifetime around so as not to burden the Artist or Artists who are inviting themselves into their world so they can express and we can experience their emotional passion for their Art! Specifically John Cougar Mellencamp and KC and the Sunshine Ban both come to mind as providing us with outstanding performances expressing themselves while getting most of our audience up and out of their seats dancing in the isles with a plethora of smiles everywhere we looked! Those are the joyous lifelong memories, after a great meal that we will treasure, forever. I realize that the Savannah Civic Center will not want to read this next comment however, I would caution you that when buying your tickets for this venue IF IT is musical entertainment to get as close to the center section of the Johnny Mercer Theater as possible. Why? Because of the acoustical sound quality. I would NEVER suggest that sitting up against either wall in the floor or bottom section as this choice is NOT recipe for an enjoyably experience. I would suggest the Balcony seats over buying seats very close or against the walls of this venue because the base sound especially is just to overpowering and drowns out the music as that is all you can feel deep in you bones while losing the remaining full range of your musical experience. However, if you are a Heavy Metal enthusiast then "to the walls you must go!" for your tickets as I guarantee you will get all you ever wanted and then some. While I am not a Structural Engineer by profession I do understand and acoustical sound quality and would humbly suggest that the Savannah Civic Center Management consider a relatively inexpensive retrofit for the Johnny Mercer Theater. First, I would suggest you install large acoustical slightly slopped half moon directional shells behind each of your speakers mounted on those side walls that run the length of your theater to move that base sound off those walls back toward the sound circulating in the venue. Second, I would remove a few seats at each of the two back corners of the Johnny Mercer Theater and install slightly sloped or curved acoustical floor to ceiling columns that are thin but engineered to reflex sound, not absorb it which in this person's opinion would help some of that sound travel around the venue. These two relatively simple retrofits of this venue would help to the sound quality throughout the hall move throughout your theater. I also feel implementing changes along these lines of thought would help your Management sell more tickets to musical entertainment at the Johnny Mercer Theater. As for those who are wondering if they want to entrust their future lifelong memories to this wonderful venue, I would strongly suggest you do because it will put a smile on your face and a song in your heart!

The theater itself is not huge. It is not meant for a gigantic audience. But it comfortably fits a very large crowd on two levels. I have sat on both levels. You see well from both.

The tables, chairs, and people were packed in; hard to get to the bar or restroom from the ground floor. We had two guys sit at the end of their table (suppose to be one) blocking our view. They really crammed everyone in. It was a good time because of the friend I brought. I wouldn't go to Bingo Loco again unless I purchased a balcony seat and then you're less likely to score giveaways. I've heard seeing a musical performance there is great, I'd go back to try that experience. They say the doors open at 5:00, but we were there early and they had us standing in the heat for 30 minutes before the doors finally opened at 5:30. Not too impressed, but I'd give it a second chance with the right company and performer.

The script has great potential, but we were disappointed with the production. One actress screamed her way through the play, and the repeated knife jabbing was far too much. One actress, Andrea Frankle, was terrific in the role of Marie. The others lacked finesse and nuance in their character developments. Kudos to the set, lighting and costumer designers which were terrific. And finally, the most disappointing was from the Director. Some of staging was confusing and unnecessary, and often didn't allow the actresses to communicate well. If you are unfamiliar with the repertory theater, try them out. But for this production, I'd rate them 2.5 stars out of 5.
