    I went to a burlesque show at the 40th St. theatre the other night and as a venue it still stands…read moreout in my mind. It's very charming and I believe over 100 years old. There are lots of little touches here and there that are very unique and a nod to the past. I love the creaky wood floors and they've done an excellent job of keeping as much of the original architecture and building intact. You definitely feel like you're stepping into a bygone era. They had a full bar and very decent drink prices. I would definitely rent out this venue if I needed a space in the future.

    If you're into eclectic, unique, one-of-a-kind places (like I am), this venue gets 5 stars for…read moreatmosphere, decor and spaces. Depending upon your event, there are a couple of areas to choose from, and the outdoor space is simply beautiful. What made this review a 3 instead of a 5 is two things: 1) Parking. It's on-street and not plentiful near the venue. When I attended, I did a terrible thing (because I got so frustrated with driving around the blocks for parking); I parked on the sidewalk. Not the best choice, I admit. Now I know to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the start of any event there. 2) The chairs. HORRIBLE. I attended a theatrical production as part of the Great Plains Theatre Conference. Including announcements, the production lasted 90 minutes--90 excruciating minutes. To make sure it wasn't just my reaction, I looked around. What I discovered was an audience of so many people moving, bending, adjusting, and re-adjusting in their seats. It's as if the owners of 40th Street said, "What are the cheapest, most uncomfortable chairs on the planet? Yep! Let's buy those!!" If you attend an event here in which you will be sitting for longer than 20 minutes, bring a seat cushion with you. If you've read some of my other reviews, you'll note that I'm unforgiving when it comes to uncomfortable seating. This venue had the worst by far. The owners should eat their own dog food and sit in those chairs for at least half an hour just to experience what their guests are experiencing. That said, if you're looking for a place to hold an event--and you want something out of the ordinary and memorable--I recommend 40th Street Theatre. If you're a business and want a get away event where your employees can have some nosh and network, I think it's great for that. Standing, chatting, mixing, mingling--40th Street Theatre hits a home run for that.

    We had a great night getting to watch the Christmas Carol at the Omaha Community Playhouse. I do…read moreforget how small and limited the seating is there, so be prepared to be close. It was very comfortable in there, I was prepared for it to be either too cold or too hot since it had been snowing. Intermission allowed time for the restroom and to get a drink/snack with plenty of time to make it back to your seats.

    Girls' night out at the Omaha Community Playhouse! We went to see Titanic: The Musical, and from…read morestart to finish, it was such a lovely experience. We were greeted at the entrance by the kindest gentleman, who warmly thanked us for coming. Such a small gesture, but it set the tone for the evening. At the box office, there was a tiny ticket snafu, but the staff handled it quickly and got us squared away in no time. Before the show, we took a few minutes to check out the Titanic artifact display. I always love seeing pieces of history and how they're woven into the experience. Fun Fact: The bestie and I dressed up as the Titanic and the Iceberg for Halloween one year. I attached the picture for giggles. Also, be it known... I was the Iceberg, and I WAS THERE FIRST!!! Naturally, we headed to the bar to grab a drink and some water. The line moved fast, which we appreciated. Our first drink choice, the Cutwater Strawberry Margarita, sounded promising but turned out to be more of a shipwreck than a smooth sail. After a few sips, we tossed it overboard and went back for something else. No Cutwaters were harmed in the making of our evening, just given a respectful burial at sea. As for the show itself, it was fantastic. The props, the staging, the talent, everything drew me in. The story was told beautifully, and I found myself totally captivated. Omaha has some serious talent, and if you haven't been to the Omaha Community Playhouse yet, I highly recommend it. They're celebrating their 100th year, and from what I've seen, they've got a century's worth of magic to be proud of.

    Our kids recently got into VR after seeing a few games at local arcades. On a whim I stopped in…read morewith them to see if this is a place for them. They are 4 and 7, and immediately the extremely friendly front desk clerk made me aware as nicely as possible, that these games are designed for kids 8+. I totally understood as lot of these games are violent, and/or phsycial with the hand tools. However, she graciously allowed them to come back and try some roller coaster rides, my son LOVED it, and my daughter liked it, but as she stated at the beginning these are for older kids so I wasn't surprised. I would definitely recommend coming here with kids in an older crowd. There are so many games and things to play. And clearly they're passionate and friendly, while it wasn't the experience we were looking for, I left feeling really happy we tried it out. I appreciate their customer service!

    This was a really fun experience for my daughters. Staff was friendly and helpful and they had a…read morevariety of age appropriate games available. Pricing was $53 total for my 2 daughters to play for 30 minutes each, but they will have happy hour pricing available throughout the summer where kids can play for 1 hour for $25. On our initial visit, we attempted to walk-in and they were booked so keep that in mind. I wish you could book sessions via their website, but we were able to get appointments secured via email easily enough. We plan to return!
