September 2024 update. We still love Center Stage and spend most of our week there these days…read more My daughter who I mentioned in an earlier review loved dancing there so much she is now one of their company dancer. My son who had just started tried a few classes on and off and he found his thing as a hip hop dancer. Both kids love center stage and their teachers too! We will probably be part of the center stage family for years to come. I still also highly recommend center stage for all dancers!

The venue seats 891 people. I recently saw Sō Percussion JACK Quartet, a free performance offered by the University. This group was performing the following week at Carnegie Hall and I was fortunate to see some of the new material they would be playing at Carnegie. The acoustics and sound are wonderful. A wide variety of events, concerts, lectures and musical artists perform here throughout the year. Upon occasion, there may be a dance or theatrical production.

I was there for an orchestral music concert, SCORES, which is this annual collaboration between NJSO and the Cone Institute in Princeton. I hope to attend next year, as well as have other opportunities to see programming housed in this gorgeous space. Very nice!

Pines Dinner Theatre is such a fun spot and perfect for a date night or special celebration. I love…read morethe setup -- dinner first, then the first half of the show, dessert, and then the rest of the show. It keeps the night flowing and makes it feel like a full experience. The theatre itself is nice and simple, and I like that you pick your table ahead of time. From the moment we sat down, every staff member greeted us, which was such a nice touch. They walked us through how the night would go, and everything felt super organized. For appetizers, we had mac and cheese and bruschetta -- both solid choices. The mac and cheese was simple but tasty, and the bruschetta was fresh and flavorful. For entrées, we went with the salmon (roasted potatoes & string beans) and the filet mignon (same sides). The salmon was a little overcooked, and I do wish we could have picked our own sides, but it wasn't a dealbreaker. Everything was still good. Dessert was hands down the highlight. The apple crisp and brownie sundae were amazing. And then the show... wow. The acting, the singing, the dancing; all fantastic. They absolutely crushed Footloose! Definitely recommend this place if you want dinner and a show all in one. I'd go again in a heartbeat. 1000000000/10 recommend.

The tables are so close that I had no room to move my chair in order to view the stage better…read more Seating is very cramped with no leg room. The play (School of Rock) was boring and most of the instruments were little better than toys - sound was obviously controlled from backstage. Even soda and water were overpriced. Needed to have another employee get our waitress so we could pay our bill. No credits, no refunds, so if you can't make the show, you are royally screwed. Would never return here again.

Bobby must've sensed how stressed I was and immediately (and willingly!) took over. He saved my butt and reassured me that things will be fine - thank U! Lol. He excels at an impromptu party and his speech/performance make it seem like he was rehearsing for days lol I would recommend him to anyone who wants a triple threat - someone who can rotate the current eargasms, host, and keep the party alive! He's your man!

We attended a sweet 18 party he had done last year. My brothers threw me a baby shower two weeks…read morebefore my due date earlier this month. During crunch time; I had to go to the hospital almost everyday two weeks before the shower for check up cause my OB thought he had to deliver the baby early. Everyone in my family was anxious and baby shower planning including discussing what kind of atmosphere I wanted to create, the guest lists, games, and music took a back seat. We got good news a day before the shower and went ahead with the shower! The day of the party was hectic and stressful for everyone! While setting up the place he had asked me what I wanted to do. I confessed I didn't have time to plan out the day completely.I told him we were expecting 150 people, the music I played for the baby, and the games my family wanted to play. He suggested different ways of executing each plan and we discussed each step. Once the party started I kept losing track of time And couldn't keep up. He'd find me and remind me of what was coming up from the mock planning we did and asked for a go ahead and gave me a time frame so everything would be set up by the time he'd announce the next thing on the agenda. Everyone had such a great time and everything went so smoothly they thought we had all the time in the world to plan! My stress level was next to nothing and even I had time to dance with the guest and actually ENJOY it. By the next day, the hospital where I worked heard about the party and the guests wouldn't stop talking about it. He went above and beyond his professional responsibility and I'm completely grateful!
