In a mainstream theatrical landscape filled with jukebox musicals, revivals, and an overwhelming lack of originality, I can't tell you how meaningful it is that PTC consistently uplifts new voices in the medium. New theatre is alive and well in Philadelphia! The show and storytelling were not dramaturgically perfect, but as an audience member and artist, perfection for me always lays in the pursuit. The cast of artists PTC consistently assembles is top notch, and I can't wait to get out and see more of their season offerings. Thank you for bringing eclectic storytelling to our great city! If you're visiting or a local and PCT has something on you're even remotely interested in, get out there and support locally crafted theatre in a stunning and iconic venue.

I have been coming to the Suzanne Roberts Theater for a…read morefew years now and enjoyed so many great productions from Having Our Say and Rizzo to tonight's Everything is Wonderful. I especially love the Yelp Elite perk of being invited on opening night. This evening marked two firsts for me. In the past this was a Yelp Elite Event for squad members only. This time we were invited individually and allowed a plus one. And much to my surprise my guest and I got front row seats. They usually have a nice little cocktail hour after the show that mostly consists of beer, wine, crudites and cheese boards. I was impressed to find some serious hor d'oeuvres this time around. Macaroni and cheese balls, chicken sliders, skewered beef tenderloin. All it was delicious. Wonderful experience.

I would love to see another show there.

As always, I highly recommend sitting in the front, or as close to front as possible. The perfomance: this was our first visit to the N Crowd but we are very experienced improv-consumers. The group of 6 performers played in a short-form improv style with small and quick "games" and they were fantastic. If you're familiar with improv, you know not everyone in the scene will be hitting every beat, but when one may have skipped, another cast member stepped in and continued right along. The bottom line: the value for your dollar is AMAZING with the N crowd. I highly recommend a visit for a good time. We could all use more laughter in our lives and this group gave us plenty of laughs and love. Thanks N Crowd!

Even after the performance, people were hanging around just to look at the theater and take it all in. Staff eventually had to usher people out because no one wanted to leave. I arrived a little late because I went to the wrong venue, and the staff was incredibly kind and calm about it. They walked me to my seat between sets and made it totally stress free. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and professional. The place is clean and very well maintained. One thing to watch out for is seat selection. In the balcony, some seats have a pole partially blocking the view of the stage, which is frustrating if you do not realize it ahead of time. Definitely double check before buying. I loved the live subtitles for the opera. Such a thoughtful touch and makes the whole experience much more accessible. The chandeliers are gorgeous, the atmosphere feels grand but not stuffy, and the whole night felt special. Fully worth the money and I would absolutely come back.

It was a delight to see that so many local women were involved and their stories are reflected in this play today. I am happy to get the Playbill souvenir and a SUFFS pin. THE STAFF WAS VERY NICE. I'm very grateful to the sweet people working here. From the theater, attendants, concession snack stand, security, box office, merchandise, and the restrooms too. My chocolate chip cookie was yummy. Everybody's very kind and hard-working. It was an absolutely wonderful time in this beautiful theater. It was my first time to be in the theater and it's very beautiful. The set design was quite exciting. The seats were very comfortable. And I'm very glad that there was parking in a garage very close to this theater!

The company features contemporary theatre from Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales, and they're not works you'll find performed elsewhere in the area.

The ticket prices are really a bargain for the quality of the work, especially for their Pop-up Play in a Pub series where you get dinner and a show! Highly recommend grabbing a ticket to one of their upcoming performances. I anticipate being a season ticket holder for many seasons to come.
