    Very cool and funny experience. It was full of acts made into funny live performances. The actors were great. Kept the vibe lively. Like they said not for people who gets easily offended, but I don't think it was that crazy for people to not enjoy the show. Good place to book for a fun time!

    He can really twist around!!

    OMGAWD this was one of the best shows we have ever attended in Nashville. Make sure not to miss it if in town. So much talent, funny, and very entertaining all around. We loved it and enjoyed every minute.

    The front row of the box seats is a three person couch, that they expect 4 people to sit in. You are not told this at booking.

    I'm sorry to say we did not enjoy this show, and it had nothing to do with the "raunchiness" of it, as we had read up on it prior to going and have been to other adult shows in other places that we enjoyed. It did have it's moments. There was truly some impressive athleticism and talent on stage, and I would have liked to see a greater emphasis put on showcasing that talent. Unfortunately more than half of the show (not that I timed it, but it felt this way) is spent on just talking and jokes, or segments that bring the audience on stage, distracting from that talent. The jokes usually didn't land, and overall, the writing needs a re-visit. There was a whole number based on making animal sounds near the end of the show that quite frankly, just felt really out of place, and doesn't leave you wanting more. The wow factor of the show was in the dance and acrobatic numbers, and especially the contortionist, where you had raucous applause and people really captivated by it. More of that would make for a way better show! We went because the performance was advertised to us as an adult style cirque du soleil with a country spin... so we went expecting that... and it just landed very far away from that. On top of this, we paid for box seats because we thought we would be getting some kind of premium or more comfortable experience. Instead, we got a highly obstructed view on an uncomfortable couch which we eventually gave up for a worse view, but the ability to be comfortable. They don't tell you any of this when booking online, so here is the info. For the box seats, the front four seats being sold are actually a couch, which unless all four people getting it know each other very well, and are petite and thin-framed people, you're going to be crammed into without any kind of respite. The second row of four seats gets you your own seat... but it's a bar grade high top table style seat, that naturally leans you forward due to wear, making you constantly have to fight the feeling of falling because there is nothing to lean forward on. On the extreme left, you'll be able to see most of what is going on, and have a more comfortable seat as there is a built-in style couch that runs the full length, giving people the ability to space out just a little. We moved to this once it was shown there was room. The entire thing just gave "we cram as many people as we possibly can in here" vibes, like what you get on an airplane. On the whole, for what we paid to go, we did not feel it was worth it, and would not recommend it to other people.

    Shiners Nashville is an absolute must see show for anyone who is looking for a fresh approach to adult comedy mixed with amazing cirque performances. I hosted a surprise bachelorette outing for a friend and the entire group had a BLAST. Located at historic Woolworth Theatre in downtown Nashville the shows features a variety of performances that are sure to WOW you. It's good ole adult fun in a beautiful venue. If you're not shy or easily embarrassed then I recommend grabbing the front row center seat for a chance to be included in the show. Here are a few more details to consider: Parking: Paid parking garages and surface lots Age Restrictions: All 7pm performances at the Woolworth Theatre are 18+ Prices: Starting at $70; VIP Tickets are available and include box seating, dedicated wait staff, access to the small bites menu, private bar and restrooms. Show Dates Thursday-Saturday check website for times Concessions available for purchase.

    Not many photos as I'd rather watch the show!

    What an amazing time we had. Front row. Exceeded our expectations many times over. Our crew of 8 had a great time. Show was awesome. Crew was friendly and professional. Comedy on point, acts complimented all of the cast. We had a great time and can't wait to come back for a show. I'd highly recommend this for anyone in town. Cheers

    Pros: Hilarious R-rated comedy (yes it gets raunchy, if you don't like that, this isn't your show) Awesome athletes and artists, I was amazed at the strength and abilities of the acrobats Intimate setting - the theater is way smaller than I imagined Loved the host, even though his "skill" was a brief song and guitar, he held the show together Most of the audience engagement (even if planned) was fun! Cons: The cost - holy moly this is expensive even with a discount. We spent $170 on two tickets with a 10% discount. The animal sounds / game show act was weird... I'd say that's normally a talent but it felt more chaotic than an act especially with awkward audience engagement. The singing at the end, although lovely, seemed super unimpressive after you've watched people defy human strength I've seen it once and don't need to see it again, but I'd recommend it to a visitor or local looking for something new, entertaining, and you can make it alcohol free and still laugh - promise (I did!).

    Pretty awesome performers

    This was a great show! I highly recommend it. My cheeks hurt from laughing. We meet several of the performers after the show. All great people. We got there early and ate at the bar. The carnitas tacos were really tender. The couple next to us had ordered several different items. Mozzarella sticks being one of them. I so wanted to try it because it smelled amazing! The chef even came out to ask is if we enjoyed our food. Drinks were pretty good as well. Overall it was a wonderful experience. I highly recommend going to this show when visiting Nashville!

The tickets are always reasonably priced so there's no excuse not to go. These ladies are not strippers. They are dancers, classical and edgy.

For a bachelor party, one of the guys booked tickets for us to go to a show. I personally knew none of the lineup that was performing throughout the evening but still wanted to go and check this out anyways. Walking up to the place, nothing too special. As you got closer, the flair started to show of how great this place is. Then walking in....WOW! Not what I expected at all. The decor is incredible. It's so hard to explain so you have to see it for yourself. Likewise when you get in to your seats (we were on the first level), sitting down to look at the stage is just something so unique and different from a typical music venue. Usually the shows are broadcasted live to a radio station, so they really put out a good show each night. You could lightly talk to people around you during the shows, so it wasn't incredibly loud like most places. The lights that were behind the different performers felt so nice on your eyes too. Everyone sounded great and the last guy had been performing for over 50 years! They still brought him out and he put on a heck of a closing performance! It was sad to walk out of this place. My friends felt the same way, we did a lap of the place and stuck around in the gift shop for a bit to continue absorbing the evening. We still even stood outside for a while taking pictures. The Grand Ole Opry...is something! Words can barely describe this place. You have to see it yourself, pictures don't do the justice.

    STILL SCRATCHING MY HEAD!…read more Let's be honest, Lakewood Theatre is a very small, very old, slightly neglected theater. HOWEVER, this little theatre really delivered when it came to their recent production of A Christmas Carol. My husband and I were simply bewildered by the talent here as it is a very small town and this venue does not exactly scream: Talent resides here! According to one audience member, the theatre has been around for approximately 30 years but the building is quiet a bit older and this is most evident with the seats. The wooden seats are super narrow and somewhat uncomfortable for those that are fluffier than most. They appear to be at least fifty years old. The production was very professional as was the cast. My husband and I both agreed that this group of talented actors and actresses deserve a larger and much nicer space. Regardless of the venue, the play did not suffer one bit. We enjoyed every aspect of it including the singing and instrumental performances. This play was perfect for the entire family and proudly represented the spirit of Christmas. Lakewood is a great little theatre and worth checking out if you are looking for great plays and performances.

It's not that my friend's cynicism was totally misplaced. I'd give the production itself 3 stars - the actors lapsed back into a slight Southern twang on occasion, which was distracting. And I personally wasn't a fan of the director's work. I prefer more creative license, thought put into light/set/timing/etc. A play is more than just its script! (Another theatre friend told me: "I've always imagined the set of that play to be just a door." BRILLIANT) Also, I hated the stadium seating. Heads potentially blocking your view is easier to deal with than having to gaze downward the whole time. Still, I'm all for supporting local arts, and the theatre and the production company that had put on the show (Act I) are great. We went to a 2:30pm Sunday matinee, because we're old people. Actually, yes, everyone else was a senior, aside from a young woman with a horribly intrusive cough. The theatre space, set in an old creaky church, was probably less than 20% full. The bathroom was pretty ancient looking. We were confused about the parking situation since there was no street parking available and no signage, and ended up in the McDonald's lot around the corner. Tickets were only $12. Credit cards are accepted; they use the Square card reader hooked up to an iPad. Otherwise, there's a low-budget feel to all of it, and it's really up to you whether to take it as dreary or endearing. Worth a visit as a tourist? Sure, if you're curious about Nashville's community theatre scene, or if like me you've been starved for theatre for too long in your ridiculously expensive home city.

    One Saturday in August of 2010, I was having lunch at Panera with my then-girlfriend now-wife. We…read morewere discussing our plans for the day, and what we could do in the evening. It so happened that my eyes fell upon a pretty grim and ominous looking poster tacked to the community billboard at the back of the Panera. "Twilight of the Gods - Great minds die alike." A play by a new theater company in Nashville called Blackbird Theater. Curious, I looked it up on my phone and found it interesting enough that I bought us tickets for that very night. Since that first night, we've seen 3 other productions by Blackbird Theater: Arcadia, Magic and their current production, Amadeus. Blackbird Theater is a Nashville theater company by Greg Green and Wes Driver. They bill themselves as theater for the "intellectually adventurous," - in other words they specifically select plays that are challenging - in their dialog, in their ideas, in their acting and also in their production. From my experience they certainly deliver on all these. Production quality: From their very first play, I've always been impressed with their production quality. From the stage, to the props and wardrobes, to the acting - they've always have managed to create scenes specific to their era and to the mood. Acting: They've also been very skilled at finding impressive talent for their roles: In Twilight of the Gods, they had to cast for Mark Twain, Rasputin, Annie Oakley, Nietzsche and more. When you've got characters who are so well known to the public, it's easy for them to appear as caricatures, but in every case I've found the roles to be very convincing. Play selection: While I've missed two plays out of the 6 shows they've now done, from the 4 that I've seen I would say that while I definitely appreciate the plays they select, they are also not for everyone. As I mentioned, they select plays which tackle difficult material - philosophical, scientific, mathematical. That being said, the plays are far from being college lectures - they are entertaining, they are emotional, and even thrilling. As an example: The first play they had put on, Twilight of the Gods, was written by themselves (Wes Driver and Greg Green). It's a murder-mystery with notable Victorian people as the main characters. To put it brief: Clue for Grown Ups. The premise is that a wealthy intellectual is able to find historical luminaries reincarnated into present day people. With some convincing, he is able to transform these people back into their former selves - upon which they take on the appearance and mannerisms of the figures. The man's goal is to create a more enlightened age by specifically choosing a set of people who were experts in their own rites, and can discuss issues in a productive way. These discussions begin to be interrupted as the people are suddenly killed off - one by one. I managed to catch their current production, Amadeus, on opening night. Having seen the film, I wasn't sure what to expect. To put it simply, I was blown away. It was profound material and delivered better than Hollywood. For a play to span more than 30 years of time means a lot of scenes, and for characters to age. The actor who played the lead role, Salieri, was incredible as he transitioned back and forth between the young Salieri to the old. Most importantly, they managed to capture the mood, music and emotion of the story in a way that was deeper than the film (I could hear sniffles and tears of the audience). My major criticism unfortunately is with the venue - Blackbird Theater has all its shows at Lipscomb's Shamblin Theater. The theater itself is not bad: I like its proximity to some restaurants and coffee shops you can visit during intermission, and the main area is set up with circular tables that give the stage production more depth as those at the tables often feel more immersed within the play. What is really problematic for me are the chairs - which is not something I'd normally complain about. Shamblin Theater's chairs are awful - they are stiff, and upright in such away that three-quarters of the way through the production, you find yourself with a stiff lower back, and neck. The chairs are so bad they can sometimes become distracting, as you can't find a comfortable position. All in all, I'll finish off by saying that I look forward to future productions by Blackbird Theater, and there's a lot that can be said about a theater company when my only complaint is with the chairs. I encourage everyone (even those who may be intimidated by the idea of "intellectual theater") to give Blackbird Theater a shot - they're a small, local theater company that puts on high quality productions with ticket prices far less than what you'd find at TPac.
