My oldest daughter, who was 12 at the time, wanted to go to New York a year ago and one of her requests was a Broadway Play. I said ok sounds like a plan....before I looked up the prices. We decided upon Wicked at the Gershwin Theatre, again before I looked at the prices. When I saw it was 200.00 each, I screamed, cursed, yelled and I think cried but a promise is a promise. Low and behold this beer guzzling, sports loving, crotch scratching, manly man LOVED IT!! Worth every penny. Fast forward about a year or so and my girlfriend asked if I wanted to go to a play featuring her daughter as one of the stars. Of course, I was willing to go to support her but I had no idea I would enjoy it as much as I did again! Holy Crap if this continues, I'll be singing showtunes and talking about fashion!! Ok may be not that exteme. Ok let's get back on track. This is a small community theatre down in "Da Bayou" that caters to the people of the area. The play we saw was written by a local man that works at Nicholls State and performed by professional local actors. Yes they get paid to perform so it's top notch stuff. There are about 80-100 seats in the place all of which came from the old Saenger Theatre. Tickets are relatively inexpensive for what you get in terms of entertainment. Plus they have beer and wine to enhance your enjoyment. I look forward to the girlfriend "dragging" me back here again.

The interior of the theater is ornate, with a beguiling ceiling of stars, lending itself to a feeling of endless night, which was the perfect backdrop to the Tori Amos concert I saw the other night. I felt practically spellbound in my seat (made for people of the past, of a smaller statue, so perfect for yours, truly). I appreciate bathrooms on every level (you exit the theater to a hallway, so sound is protected) and they are spotless. I didn't use the concessions, but these are on every level as well. Getting in was a breeze, and staff is polite and respectful so you don't feel like you're getting frisked or reprimanded. I loved it here so much, I feel compelled to return sooner rather than later, even though I don't go to shows a lot. Now I'm inspired!

They meet Fridays at one of the hotels downtown. No sweat, the hotel clerk told us to just come get a drink at the bar and enjoy the show. My wife and I had a lot of fun! The show was fun and elegant. If you're able to, it's not a bad idea to pay the $25 for the ticket to reserve a table, but if they are all already reserved - just coming to the bar to enjoy the show is perfectly fine too (and easier in some ways since you can leave at your leisure).

Jefferson Performing Arts Center took my breath away...and bot in a good way…read more I've been to Jefferson Performing Arts Center many times, and usually, it's a shining example of how to host a stellar event. The seats are comfy, the staff is welcoming, the logistics run like clockwork, and the acoustics are consistently phenomenal--every note rings out perfectly, no matter where you sit. Last night's Black Jacket Symphony performance of Led Zeppelin's music was no exception on the performance side--just incredible. But oh, let's talk about the atmosphere. When I stepped into the auditorium, I wasn't met with the warm embrace of a perfectly tuned heating system. No, I was smacked in the face by a wall of heat so intense I briefly considered whether Led Zeppelin might've been covering Hot for Teacher. Thankfully, someone on staff noticed that the audience wasn't exactly giving a standing ovation to the HVAC situation and turned the heat off. But then came the second act of discomfort: stagnant air. The kind of air that just sits there, like a guest at a dinner party who refuses to leave. No fans, no circulation--just a thick, unmoving mass of stuffiness that somehow felt more oppressive than the heat itself. And here's the thing: when you're in a packed room where the average age skews over 60, and you add in the not-so-subtle aroma of decades of cigarette smoking clinging to clothing? Let's just say it wasn't a breath of fresh air. The show itself was phenomenal--so good that I stayed despite feeling like I was trying to breathe through a wet blanket. But honestly, Jefferson Performing Arts Center, you've got to do better. Temperature control and air circulation aren't just "nice-to-haves"; they're the baseline for a venue of this caliber. I want to keep coming back for these incredible performances, but next time, let's make sure the only thing taking my breath away is the music--not the HVAC drama.

While this is not that . . . it's perfect for New Orleans and the south and has it's own flavor. I loved the show here! Madame Kennedy was the perfect emcee (and also put on a wicked black light bubble show). Some acts were sexy and seductive. Some acts were acrobatic and martial arts based, as Madame Kennedy said, "I'm sure someone is missing their anime character somewhere." There were hula hoops, feathers, and grinders! One act was a woman who put a grinder against a metal plate on her belt and sparks flew everywhere! I also saw my first (as far as I can remember) burlesque by a transgender man. It was so much fun! We did the reserved tickets, so we got a table right up front. There isn't a bad seat in the house, but I really prefer being in the center of the action. Doors open at 6:30 for a 7 PM show, but ours was running late (we didn't mind). They have a basic bar with decent prices. They also do dance classes, varying show themes, comedy routines, and more. So you'll always be able to see something different.

They have a decent selection of shows that highlight local talent. In December I saw a local interpretation of It's a Wonder Life, entitled It's a Wonderful Life, Y'all and resets the action to New Orleans with many local nods and jokes. The production creativity was great. The whole show was put on by 5 actors which was amazing. And the sets and props were standouts. The main theater holds over 300 seats and the Lagniappe theater is smaller. The night I was there, the theater was packed but still comfortable and the theater is fully accessible for those using wheelchairs. There was also a concession stand selling snacks and mulled wine. Definitely a fun spot to spend an evening.
