Golly! This was a fun night out for me and my fiance! I recently moved to Idaho and was looking for…read morefun stuff to do around the holidays. I enjoy plays, musical and murder mystery dinners and found out after doing an online search about Watsons mystery Cafe and i'm glad I was able to get us into this Christmas themed show !! The show was definitely a good time. I enjoyed the comedic acting, set design and costumes as well as the music and a dance number that happened during intermission. Only reason I take a star off is that the food falls a bit flat for the price you pay. The salad and soup were alright but not anything great. The soup was cream based and rich and would have benefitted greatly if they included a roll or garlic bread with it. I purchased the dinner option and put in our request for steaks this evening. I asked for my fiance's to be served medium and mine medium-well but unfortunately his came out rare and mine more of a medium than a medium-well. It was a big letdown to have our steaks undercooked but I was able to salvage them. Rather than complain we asked for a to go box and i took them home to make steak and eggs the next morning. We ate the mashed potatoes there which were good, they just weren't very warm and the corn they served was okay but perhaps a bit too seasoned with paprika. We enjoyed the cocktails we got though and the dessert was good to !! We had a few different holiday specialty cocktails. The garnishes were very festive and cute. They were presented well and tasted great. I ordered the death by chocolate for dessert, which was a chocolate and almond butter tart and we also got a slice of pumpkin pie that came with the meal. Those were both good. I would recommend skipping getting an entree and just come here for drinks and dessert... perhaps an appetizer if something catches your eye. The waitstaff and actors were all very friendly. It was definitely a fun atmosphere and I would love to come back to see more shows ! Towards the end of the night I even won a prize for being dressed festive as I wore an edgy/sexy Mrs. Clause outfit to the show - I got a couple tickets for a comedy show at their venue ! So I highly recommend dressing up for the show you go to if you're not opposed to that sort of thing !! I'll definitely be back!

Whether you're attending one of their larger performances like The Nutcracker at the Morrison Center, or something intimate like New Dance at their rehearsal space, you'll get magnificent, emotive entertainment from these talented folks. Personally, I like their traditional shows, but New Dance holds a special place in my heart. Combining dance vignettes along a central theme, Ballet Idaho pulls in numbers from international artists and counterbalances them with local choreographers. The last New Dance I attended was Form and Concept. They wove video components between dance numbers and the segment Particles had my eyes swelling with tears. Ballet Idaho's support staff is welcoming, informative and clearly passionate about the role traditional dance plays in a community. For those who have yet to attend a Ballet Idaho performance, or don't know if they like ballet, I say do it. Do yourself a favor and become a patron of a fine Boise institution. Your community and your cultured self will thank you!

My family and I attended an event at this venue, and what should have been a fun, memorable…read moreexperience turned into one of the most upsetting and unprofessional situations we have ever dealt with. Moments before Silverstein was about to take the stage, a female employee aggressively confronted us without warning. There was no polite request, no conversation--just sudden hostility and yelling. The supposed "issue"? My six-year-old daughter was on my shoulders while we were standing OFF TO THE SIDE, near the handrail, purposely away from the center so we wouldn't block anyone. We had already watched three bands this way for over two hours without a single problem. No one around us ever complained--quite the opposite. Many people were excited to see a child enjoying her first concert and told us how awesome it was. People were smiling, cheering her on, and taking photos of how much fun she was having. When this employee stormed over and started yelling aggressively, several concertgoers immediately spoke up for us. They told her clearly that my daughter wasn't bothering anyone, wasn't blocking anyone's view, and was just a little kid enjoying the moment. Instead of listening--or acting like a professional--the staff member told these guests to mind their fing business*, loudly and aggressively, right in front of my daughter. My daughter burst into tears instantly. She was terrified and confused and kept saying she didn't understand what she did wrong. This altercation absolutely devastated her, and no six-year-old should ever be treated like that at what should have been a joyful experience. We supported the venue fully--we bought tickets, we purchased food and drinks, and we even paid to have our jackets stored in their cubbies. Despite all that, we were treated with nothing but disrespect and hostility. After being forced to leave the show entirely, I spoke to the young woman at the front desk. She told me directly that this has never been an issue in the past. When I asked to speak with someone in charge, they sent the exact same female security employee who had yelled at us. She walked up smiling--as if she was proud of the altercation or pleased with herself for causing such distress. It was disturbing and completely inappropriate. I later spoke with the General Manager hoping there would finally be some accountability. Instead, he acted as if he didn't believe what happened. He even stated that it was "impossible to post rules or regulations for their events--they just deal with problems as they happen." That attitude alone demonstrates the lack of structure, consistency, or professionalism at this venue. Despite multiple witnesses trying to defend us earlier, he dismissed nearly everything. In the end, he simply pushed a refund at us like that would somehow erase the harm done. A refund does NOT fix this. A refund does NOT erase my daughter's fear and heartbreak. A refund does NOT change the unprofessional, hostile behavior of the staff. In a blind effort to find answers--knowing full well the band was not responsible for the venue's actions--we contacted the band's management. Shockingly, the band's manager responded to us before the venue ever did. That alone says everything about who actually cares about their fans. It says even more that other concertgoers showed more empathy, common sense, and integrity than the venue's own staff and management. I hope this review helps other families understand the type of treatment they may face here. No child should ever leave their first concert crying because of a staff member's deliberate hostility. If the venue cannot handle enforcing rules respectfully, cannot create a safe and welcoming environment for all ages as they advertise, and cannot treat paying customers with basic human decency, then something is seriously wrong with how they operate.

This theatre is very cute and has a nice layout that's easy to navigate where you're going.. I also appreciate the bar with a fair selection of canned drinks and they do a couple themed drinks for the shows. One is typically an Italian soda that can be be made with a shot of vodka or nonalcoholic. I think it would serve them well to add a 3rd option for themed cocktails but I can see why they want to keep it simple for the bar employees who get quite busy on show nights. One down fall is they have no food concessions whatsoever. They put out a small plate of store bought cookies at the bar for intermission but they go super fast... and they are just the Keebler cookies so really nothing all that special so be sure to eat before you come here. The shows they put on are great quality especially the one my fiancé and I went to most recently.. Santa Clause conquers the martians! It's honestly the BEST stage prodution I've seen thus far and I've seen A LOT of amazing theatre productions!! I got a great deal for this show as I volunteered for a day here recently at the box office. When you volunteer they'll give you a free show ticket. I'm not sure if I'll volunteer as a box office attendant here again... while I overall enjoyed it, things did get overwhelming up front at one point and I needed assistance from my supervisor who was helping out at the bar. She definitely gave me a hard time for that after my volunteer shift was up but I do understand her frustration with me, I can't blame her for wanting everything to run smoothly when i forgot how to do a couple tasks that she showed me during training. I recommend being a volunteer for community theatre but unless you are very tech savvy, I'd suggest volunteering as an usher at Boise Little Theater instead as that's much easier and you can still see a show for free. Overall it's a great playhouse and I look forward to returning in the new year!
