When I enrolled my child at Broadway Kids, I expected her experience to be what was advertised: a…read morewarm, welcoming environment with professional teachers and staff. However, that was not the case. This company turned my confident and outgoing child into the exact opposite. The teachers will do nothing but put you down and make you insecure, of course, unless you're the favorite. If you expect a professional environment, this is not your place. The teachers not only gossip about their students, but they also hire very young and inexperienced teenagers to teach full classes. The teachers only care about certain students, and if you aren't one of those students, then you won't enjoy BKA. Not to mention, the prices are absurd. Over $100 every month, and that's only the youngest class. The prices go past $300 per month. Just one ticket to see your child's show is up to $25, even if the show is 30 minutes long. Sure, it could be worth it if your child is learning and having a fun time, but it's not worth the sadness my child suffered for many semesters at Broadway Kids. Neither my child nor I will be coming back to this place. I encourage the same for everyone enrolled at Broadway Kids.

I've been attending for two years now and it's truly on par with acting schools I've attended in LA. You get ample opportunities to rehearse at the studio for free, and as long as you are proactive in class, you get out what you put in. I always recommend Dean's school to those who ask and I continue to grow even being in Vegas. Whenever I get auditions and book work, Dean is gracious to lend himself to students even beyond the weekly class time and gives you above and beyond support as you admin through your career. Lastly, in remark to another review's comments, not to mitigate their experience, but he uses "honey" and "babe" towards all genders. Dean deeply cares about his students but also does an excellent job maintaining boundaries. Highly recommended Dean and his team!

It's a very entertaining and exciting show to watch! I really think it's better than some Cirque du Soleil shows.

Wow? Yes. Vegas? Naturally. Spectacular? Often enough…read more WOW - The Vegas Spectacular is a variety show that has been anchoring the Rio Showroom theater for almost a decade. I've been a Rio Rewards member recently, and their 2nd tier and above grant you free annual show tickets. I decided this year to try WOW. You probably wanna save the incentive until the day-of, printing it out from the kiosk then directly taking it to the box office. Then you can pick your seats. The tier of seating available to me was the same as the Pepto-Bismol colored section on the chart visible online when you try to make a purchase. These appear to have a retail value of $86.32 each w/ fees. You can get in pretty easily with your tickets, but you can't bring all that much stuff in. They do have a table where you can leave stuff and pick it up afterward though. They also seem to compensate for disallowing water bottles by setting up free cups of ice water at the bar inside the venue for anyone to take. The show is not Cirque-level, but it's got quite a few exciting acts dispersed over the 1.5-ish hours. And when they set up shop on the protruding circle of the stage, it feels really, really close to the seats. For specific highlights, Silvia Silvia, the crossbow-wielding grandma, does feel world-class. So do most if not all of the acrobats. The main character / "clown" does a solid enough job with interstitials and comic relief overall. Some of the comic stuff and juggling is not all that exciting, and the dancing feels a little tame and sometimes totally unnecessary (not even as a delaying tactic). It'd be nice if they could add a little more intensity in the middle third (before Silvia Silvia), as well as more examples of showing off words and graphics in the falling water. Production-wise, they could certainly make improvements. I'll excuse the old screens/videos, but they don't seem to have heard of surround sound. Instead, the speakers blast at you from one direction, mainly into my right ear from where I was sitting. If they improve the sound, and maybe fade some of the music instead of abruptly halting them before moving to the next track, the show would feel more polished and maybe only half a tier behind the big shows rather than a whole level. Overall, WOW is a good but not great show, better at least than tired old Blue Man Group and maybe some really random stuff at the cheapest Strip properties. You could probably do quite better if spending actual cash, but Rio Rewards regulars should have this show on their checklist.

We couldn't be more grateful to the West Flamingo School of Rock team. When our daughter started…read moreshe was extremely anxious and we honestly weren't too sure what to expect. To our surprise and utter delight our daughter not only over came her anxiety she truly has blossomed in big ways. The entire team is dedicated to helping their students reach their full potential. They are patient, encouraging and are such talented musicians. This past week our daughter went to one of their week long camps. It was so amazing we plan on signing her up for multiple camps next summer. She learned 5 new songs and even surprised us with learning a new instrument which she also demonstrated in the final performance. The kids are very nice and really do a great job working together. We love the inclusive and supportive environment they've created. We've had several friends recommend School of Rock to us and we now understand why they are all such big fans. We feel so incredibly grateful to this entire team. They aren't just teaching kids how to sing and play their instruments they are making a big impact in their lives.

Located on Decatur Boulevard near Arizona Charlies, the Playhouse is a space in progress as pointed out last night by one of the company's founders. The space can be configured in any number of ways, and I look forward to seeing future shows of PRP and see how the directors choose to use the space. For the inaugural show, they are doing Lizzie the Musical, a musical about Lizzie Borden. There are four very talented women who do the roles and there ism a wonderful live band which is great! I'd recommend this theatre company to anyone. They do good work. And, I'm glad they have a home of their own, the Playhouse!

This theatre is a treasure for performing arts in Las Vegas…read more It's nestled in the parking lot shopping mall area near Arizona Charlie's. When you enter the theatre you immediately feel at home and welcomed. It's like walking into a model home that you feel like you could take your shoes off in and snuggle up on the couch, as it's really nice, clean, and sheike, but also adorned with art from past shows and an atmosphere that is full of community. The theatre company, Poor Richard's Players, that owns the theatre, always puts on quality shows that have care, talented actors, creativity, stunning and thoughtful sets, great sound, and on point tech. All their productions are professional and unassuming. And they are well known in the local theatre community as they have won Best in Fringe at the Las Vegas Fringe Festival several years in a row. Their inaugural show for the theatre, Lizzie the Musical, was very well done with a full live band, a stunning set, a fog machine, creative lighting effects, and a killer cast. Even the lobby and entrance were adorned for the show so your experience started the second you walked in the door. From what I saw, the theatre is in the style of a black box theatre, an open space area that can be manipulated to accommodate a variety of audience and stage configurations with black walls. The ceiling is a beautiful open beam ceiling with string lights that illuminate the house when needed. They have a small lobby area, ticket booth, enclosed tech booth area, and restroom. It also has green rooms, costume room, workshop room, and more. I'm excited to see future productions in this space as it's obvious a lot of thought and care goes into what they produce and everything is tastefully done.
