    If you haven't been to this hidden theatre, well buy yourself a ticket. I've been here about 5 times and every show is fabulous! Disaster. The Musical was really funny. Great seating. Beer, wine, water and soda available!

    It is difficult not to adore this place. Where you have a passion for historic architectural design, rustic decor, theatre, entertainment or the arts, Woolfe Street is a must. With a vast lobby, large and small theatre way in the back, the space is overwhelming. I first encountered this venue at a Great Gatsby themed event. A memorable night indeed. This also leads to a little tidbit of information: You can rent out the venue. Last week alone, a rock band rented it out. Brilliant. Home to some of the most fun and even radical performance in Charleston, Woolfe Street has done Rock of Ages, Santaland Diaries and will be doing a high school production of Rent next month. I cannot say enough about the generosity and caring nature of Keely who operates the company and venue. Her pursuit of the arts in Charleston is remarkable. This is truly a must see. Soak in the design and decor. It is a fun place to see (even if there is not a performance at the moment).,

    I love going to a play. Last night was my first time to go to the Woolfe Street Playhouse. We went to see the play - The Effect. The WSP is a very cool place. The location was very convenient and easy to find. Parking was right across the street. Tickets were about normal price for a play - $32.50 per person. The playhouse was nice and I really liked the way it looked with a very laid back atmosphere. Everyone was friendly. You can purchase beer or wine. It was very clean and nice and very casual for wearing jeans so I felt very comfortable. The play was okay. Not the best story line I have seen but the acting was fantastic. I enjoyed watching the actors do their lines. They were so good! They were the best part of the night - watching them. They were really that good. It was a great night all around. I look forward to going back. We had such a nice night out. Thank you so much!

    See all

    The place has a fun/quirky setup as an old western saloon and there didn't seem to be a bad seat there--very intimate theater.

The Charleston Music Hall itself is a beautiful, historic venue--intimate, well-maintained, and known for hosting concerts, comedy shows, and special events. The seating is comfortable, sightlines are good, and acoustics are solid, which definitely worked in favor of the vocal performances. The singers were clearly talented and did a great job vocally--everyone sounded wonderful, and there's no denying the performers can sing. However, we personally felt that the show didn't quite feel like a full "production." It leaned heavily on straightforward singing, with limited storytelling, choreography, or theatrical elements to tie everything together. This may come down to expectations and personal preference. Growing up around Broadway shows in NYC, we're used to more dynamic, story-driven performances with larger production value, and this didn't quite meet that standard for us. While others may enjoy it for the music and holiday spirit--especially in a cozy venue like the Charleston Music Hall--we would probably not attend again, particularly considering the ticket price.

The last band that I saw at the Charleston Music Hall was Hatebreed, a metal-core hardcore band that makes you ears bleed in the good way. Fortunately, the staff can provide you with complimentary ear plugs. Every visit to the Music Hall is consistently awesome! The Music Hall's website states: "Centrally located in the Upper King Street area of historic downtown Charleston, SC, the Charleston Music Hall was built in 1850 as a passenger station for the South Carolina Railroad, then converted to a full-service music venue in 1995."
