    Overall I had a good time. I attending on the opening for the Broadway series. We sat near the stage and it was pretty good. The artist did a great job with the songs and getting a lot in during the time frame. The tables are big enough for 4 to share, there really isn't a bad seat in the house so if you do the general admission ticket you are good. You have the option to either buy a bottle of a glass of wine for your table. Overall it was a good time and will go back for the Motown show. There is a parking garage across the street and it is $8 to park. If you get there early you can park in front of the stores adjacent to the Music Box or on the street a block or so away.

    The Music Box Theater is one of the best things going on in Houston. I moved to Houston a year ago and have not missed any of the shows they put on. They are a group of local musicians and artists who will have you laughing, singing and the occasional tear from their shows. Their Songs from Silver Screen was incredible. The band is always amazing. The performers are always so personal that make you feel part of the show. Do yourself a favor and go see them. You will not be disappointed.

    The stage is set for "5 Year Anniversary Show"

    Wonderful cabaret of five singers performing theme shows in an intimate setting of what used to be the Radio Music Theate a few years ago. These folks gel together, and their enthusiasm will brighten your evening. You can't beat the price for live, family-friendly entertainment in Houston. I can't believe it took me so long after Radio Music Theater left to see a show by the new group, but I'm a big fan of Music Box now. If you've never been here before, you're in for a treat. It's not slick or over-produced. Just performers who love belting out tunes with a few surprises (did they really remix a version of "Some Nights" by fun.? Yes they did, and it was fabulous) and classics, depending on the show's theme. If you don't have a reserved seat (honestly, all of the seats are perfectly fine), arrive early. I've never had a problem with parking, but...do the smart thing and check their website for the best places to park (some businesses nearby allow people to use their lots). There are plenty of wine and beverage options for everyone, and light nibbles, too. Most shows are around an hour and a half to two hours with an intermission.

    The Music Box Theater is BACK! Well, not that they ever left with their quarantunes and their wonderful virtual performances, but they are "in the box" again. By watching the audience, I could tell that I wasn't the only one thrilled to be there! There was excitement in the air. From the first call of "The Circle of Life" to the final mash-up, they were in high spirits for this 10th Anniversary celebration. As usual, it was the feeling of being with family, watching their good-natured teasing and antics. I think they were having as much fun as we were, if not more. It was quite the celebration. And the music...oh, my! A little bit of Broadway, a lot of pop, some c & w and even heavy metal...this show had it all! Luke and Rebekah masterfully brought back some Judy Garland classics followed beautifully by Kristina and "Both Sides Now." Cay did Dolly Parton proud with her version of "Jolene" while Brad skillfully evoked Freddie Mercury at one point. The musicians were amazing, as usual, and the on-stage guitar accompaniment to Cole Porter's "Night and Day" was powerful. The group ended Act One with "Staying Alive" which they clearly have. While I assume there will be some financial catching up to do (and we can help with that), spirit wise and ability wise they made it through the storm stronger than ever. This is a show you won't want to miss! (I was so enthralled with the show that I forgot to take photos. I have used their official ones.)

    What a fun show and the artists were wonderful - I loved the ad lib of the fly being open! The music from the band and the voices of the artists take you back to the 70's and the Groovy state of mind for sure! I highly recommend to make time to take is this local treasure!

We arrived about 30 minutes before the show started to see the theatre and it is beautiful! There could not be a bad seat in the whole place! We were in row G on the lower level and it was a great view!! The whole cast of the play was so fun and great at acting! I enjoyed the performance here just as much (if not more than) a show in the city at some of the larger theaters!! I can't wait to see what else this theatre has to offer and come back for another show!

Nestled into the Galleria off Westheimer, the venue is unassuming and quite understated outside. Parking is abundant and easy ingress and egress was no problem. The Staff. Amazingly accommodating and Friendly. They helped us to our seats and were quite knowledgeable. Top marks. The Venue Part Deux. There are signs a-Plenty stating no food or drink in the venue. Until it is noted the drinks must remain closed a-la purchased drinks at the bar which come with a closeable top or bottles that may be again... brought with you and closeable. You can still bring your own in...but for a whopping $90 for 2 adult beverages, kid beverages, and waters at the beginning and pre order for intermission...you could have just brought in your closeable water bottle and saved the cost. This is like handing you the keys to an Aston but told not to drive it off the lot. Understandable for spillage, but not well explained. The production and sound were second to none. The only niggle I had were the inexperienced show goers behind us who continually dialogued what came next via the book, how it did not correspond to the movie, and continually picked at it. I cannot control other people...but do stay home or keep like a church mouse like the rest of us while the production was in course. I guess money can buy your way in but not common decency no matter your age bracket/demographic/wealth status. Again out of my control, so I will not hold it against the theatre. Overall. Yes. I will be back for another show. Amazing. Thank you all so much for what you do and giving back to your community the way you do. Donation made. And will continue to support. Rock solid 4 Stars.

    Doesn't look like much when you drive past - okay, I'm using the canned Yelp message there - and,…read moreif you arrive at night, it's likely that you'll drive right past it. The Palladium is located on a one-way freeway frontage road, so you can't make a U-turn to get there if you pass it up. But it's not one to avoid. The Palladium is not a franchise of a nationwide company named after Arthur Murray or Fred Astaire. It's a local concern, and doesn't offer as much as the other two studios I listed. I've gone to their Latin events, and here's what it looks like: They have in-house instructors, and also bring in people from outside Houston. (I wrote about California's Kathy Reyes in two prior reviews, I hope she's reading this and makes the trip to Houston some time!) They have classes, and they have dance parties. Both are run well, charging market rates. Lots of parking. One medium-sized dance floor, two smaller studios. The bar sells drinks, both alky and non-alky. Restrooms are deep in the bowels of the building, down the hall to the left. The people who come are a good company, and are fixinta learn to dance better and to have fun. The social dance community of Houston is smaller than in other cities, so there's much overlap from one instructor to another, and it's likely that you'll meet someone there who you danced with somewhere else. I haven't met any snobs yet, but you can't assume that they won't be there. I first went to the Palladium for New Years Eve. I've been several times since then. The experience was similar to others I've been to in other cities. I've had a good time, and never drove home thinking "well, that was a waste of a hundred mile drive one-way." Beaumont simply has nothing like The Palladium, likely because few people in the Coonie Triangle are interested in ballroom or Latin dancing. I encourage you to find a class or party and stop on by.

    Not to start off a review by venting, but a little personal touch on why I'm so upset right now…read moremight go a long way in understanding why this is a one star review. I have personally been going through quite a bit lately that has led me to purposefully drag myself out of my apartment and channel my life frustrations into healthy activities and ventures. Between travel, trying to find a cat to adopt, and other every day oddities, I decided that I wanted to get back into an old hobby of mine: dancing. What could go wrong, right? I took ballet at a young age and was encouraged to stop, as I looked like a "flat piece of cardboard flapping in the breeze." When I got older, I dabbled in dance in high school, and went on to become a professional mascot for some years. Dancing isn't something that I find hard, and many routines, I am able to easily memorize, and have a lot of fun with. But, you know, I haven't learned an actual serious routine in human-form in nearly 7 years. Relevant. Today, I ventured to SoReal after being advised by Yelp that this would be a great place for "beginners" to come and "learn how to dance." Let me advise you: there was no learning HOW to dance, rather... after 10 minutes of the class, at least 10 eight-counts were shoved down my throat and I realized, I am being taught A dance. One must learn to dance before being taught an actual dance. So, you know, I took my cardboard-flapping body and left the studio mid-class. This wouldn't have happened if SoReal did a few items off the basic customer service checklist. First of all, when I arrived at 4:30 pm for a 5:00 pm class (early to ask questions, get info, etc.) the door was locked and a very bland young man answered the door. He let me in, and was not welcoming or cheerful or anything at all. I was obviously uneasy and frankly, a little shy, to be out doing something so bold after having spent the last few months hiding under a Calvin Klein comforter, downing margarita wine, while binge watching Grey's Anatomy. Despite my personal issues, kindness is a universal language that this man was obviously not fluent in. He did nothing to sell the studio or class to me, not phased whether I stayed or went. He did assure me that anyone attending this class would likely be their first class, and that you don't need any prior knowledge of dancing to attend. So, I went with it. There were about 10 people in my class, none of whom were very friendly. They stayed mostly to themselves during the warm up and stretching, which was fine by me. But the instructor was a very heavy-set young lady who seemed to be gasping for air after the set of stretches. Then, she played us a clip of the song we'd be learning the choreography to, and within seconds, she was shouting, "And then you do this! This! And this!" First of all, have you ever heard of an 8-count? Do you know how to break it down for us "beginners?" And when you picked on the little Asian guy in the class for adding his own style to a move, did you mean to insult him? I had all these questions streaming through my head as the instructor sped up the pace on a choreography that was FAR from beginner. We didn't practice with music through any of this. I finally gave up about 20 minutes in the class. I wasn't enjoying myself. It wasn't a beginner choreography (or even a good choreography at that). No one was at the front desk when I left, so I was unable to get a refund on my lousy $12. Basically, I left here feeling like I paid $12 to feel even more badly about myself. Thanks SoReal for keepin' it real.
