    I have just two words for the recent performance of Boeing, Boeing that I attended with three…read morefriends. Just awful. The acting was atrocious. The physical movements across the stage were awkward at best and lines were delivered with shrieks and screams and often not understandable. The price of the tickets reflected a professional performance. I have attended high school plays that put this performance to shame. It was supposed to be a comedy, but no one was laughing. On the way out, most people just seemed to be in a rush to leave. We certainly were. Find some other entertainment or make a donation to the food pantry or animal shelter. We wish that we had.

    I've been making the trip to Barrington Stage about once a season from the Albany area. Productions…read morerange in quality, of course, but they do get some Broadway names in there from time to time. One of the best productions I saw there was Aaron Tveit in Company - with Stephen Sondheim sitting behind us in the audience! There's parking information available on Barrington's website and we always park in the Melville lot without issue (it's just a short walk to the theater). There are plenty of nearby places to eat. If you are being cheap and buying the lowest tiered tickets to the far left or right, be prepared for a partial view experience when you get there, depending on the set. Overall, worth checking out and a nice way to spend an afternoon.

    The theater itself is nice and cozy, but there are a few things that could be improved…read more There is no restroom inside the theater so you have to exit the theater and use one of the restrooms nearby, they're not far so that's not the problem. What's annoying is you have to go through security every time you re-enter it isn't like you come out and get your hand stamped so you can get back in quickly. We didn't realize when we left the theater, so when we got in the show early there was no line, then realized there was no restroom so we left to use them before the show started and then were told by the annoyed security employee we had to get in line to get back in, by this time the line was fairly long. This particular show didn't have servers for drink orders, not sure if that's standard or not. The small "bar" is a podium with rolling carts filled with ice so the selections are limited and the canned/bottled drinks cost ~$12 and up. This was ok because it's faster to get your own drinks but I wish the selection was bigger. When I picked my seats online the floorplan did not match what the seating was in person. I purposely picked a section that appeared to have cushioned chairs and a small cocktail table but when we got there my section was actually rows of folding chairs. I loved the show and I'm sure Mohegan has gotten this feedback several times, especially about the bathrooms but the Cabaret has been there for years and years so I'm surprised these problems haven't been fixed. I would go to a show here again because it's nice to be in a smaller venue than the arena but I wish I knew these things before we went so hopefully this will help someone else be prepared.

    This is a great intimate style theater. I would guess it probably holds around 250 people…read more When I think of a cabaret theater - I think of plush deep red chairs and very dim lighting. Their interior was more golds and classy looking - it really worked well. They have table seating with some round style booths. Not a bad seat in the place. My only complaint would be that having tables right against the stage is a little awkward for people depending on where the stage performance is taking place you have to crank your neck to try and see - there is not enough room to turn your chairs. They have a bar right inside which is very convenient but no restrooms.
