Broadway In Tucson

I'm soooooo disappointed and dissatisfied!! Today for Mean Girls. the entire second string team is performing. I can't believe this keeps happening. If you are planning to buy season tickets, STAY away from the Sunday matinee package because more often than not, the understudies perform. I've been a season ticket holder for almost 20 years and this problem has become more and more frequent. I would like to change to a different day of the week but my seats aren't available. Maybe next season will be different....

Still the only venue for Broadway traveling shows including Lion King (22/23 Season), Hamilton (21/22) and Wicked. You are getting the same national tour groups but in Tucson. REMINDER SHOWS HAVE INTERMISSIONS, they are generally three hours. (Still can't believe I still see people leaving during intermission because they thought it was over-newbie mistake)Since my last review, they did add a restroom trailer for the women. This helps tremendously during the intermissions. The food offerings have improved significantly and you can place your orders well in advance of the intermission. They offer beer, wine and other drinks along with limited snacks. The concession will leave if the show is significantly delayed. During My Fair Lady 2022, the show was delayed over an hour and the concession left so there was nothing available, except preorders, during the intermission. They missed out on many sales.I have not had any recent issues with sound, but the seats are horrible. The cushions need replacement and are small and close side to side and front to back. You will only have one arm rest. My wife had to get up during the second act because the seats are uncomfortable, and it was not pleasant for myself.That said, the shows are awesome! Generally each season there are 2 or 3 really great shows, or 2-3 average shows. They are starting to add on "Special or Extra Event" shows separate from the season tickets. This year the add-ons were Wicked, Jersey Boys and 3 other shows. As a season ticket holder, I can obtain extra tickets and first access to these special shows. There are senior/student/military discounts on single event tickets.

Another great evening at yard house me n my family, had a great evening eating their delicious food for happy hour!Thumbs up !!!! Great place to start your weekend!!!!

Hooked ourselves some tickets to Disney's The Little Mermaid last night at Centennial Hall. Had a shell of a good time! Shelled out $31 clams a piece for our mezzanine tickets. So happy Broadway In Tucson exists! This was my first show in Tucson and I plan to attend more shows this year. The venue's lobby area feels pretty tight, but the actual theatre feels very spacious for being a small venue. All of the security staff and ushers were approachable and friendly. I appreciated the usher stationed in the restroom at intermission to expedite the ladies restroom line. Very family friendly, not stuffy feeling at all. Little Ariel's were swimming all over the theatre. All that was missing were little Sebastians and Flounders. Overall fun experience, looking forward to all the great shows coming to Tucson this year!

I mentioned in my previous review that it really doesn't matter where you see a Broadway musical as long as the venue is decent. Last night's performance of Newsies is a great example of that.Newsies was spectacular! The choreography, the great Alan Menken tunes, and the set made for top-notch entertainment. Shoot, the set and the tech crew deserve a place as Best Supporting Actor. Truly one of the most innovative and amazing sets I have ever seen. And the other tech marvel, the lighting, was superb.This just highlights that you should be going to the shows. Get a season pass. The only thing you would be missing is the cost of a plane ticket to New York. Or rather, Noo Yawk. We've got it right here in Tucson.

It aint easy being green, a bipolar princess, an amputee gingerbread boy or a wooden one!! But hey, all's-well-that-ends well for the big green Ogre and his supporting cast of "Freaks". Shrek the Musical was AWESOME! I felt the movie was beautifully transformed into the live show, and the laughs didn't stop. I'm still chuckling remembering scenes of exploding birds, fart & burp contests, and pretty much everything Lord Farquaad said and did.So, for the main characters, Shrek was fantastic, delivering a great performance both in his singing, humor, and just being that big-green-lug we all fell in love with in the movie. True to the movies, Donkey was soooo funny, and the actor even sounded a LOT like Eddie Murphy, hitting his mark every time, and also delivering on his singing chops as well. I loved all the Fionas, each had a great voice and the transitions between them were really cool - we are still trying to figure out how the transformation was done in the end when suddenly Fiona was an ogre. Lord Farquaad had me and the girls cracking up, and I was so impressed that the actor spent so much time on his knees. I loved pretty much all the supporting characters as well, the Gingerbread Boy, Pinocchio, and the Witch stood out for me.The costumes and sets were really cool, the singing SPECTACULAR, great comedic relief, happy fully engaged and entertained kiddos - a great time all around!! Thank you Broadway in Tucson! AND Thank you Yelp/Corey D.!!!

Extra, extra read all about it.... Broadway in Tucson has partnered with Yelp! Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. You read that correctly, free Broadway shows for Yelpers and a guest. Isn't that just the bees knees?! Make sure you get there on time, as Centennial Hall has a six minute hold once the show begins. Plus, if you get there early, you can grab a beer or wine outside. No alcohol is allowed inside. Every seat in the theater has a great view. Last year I was way up front for the tango show and recently I was in the Mezzanine/Balcony for Flashdance. The seats are also wide enough and are nice and cushy for your tushy.I think this partnership is genius and extremely generous. I can't wait to see more. Crossing my fingers that they extend the free tickets to the upcoming Alton Brown appearance. And I'm still sulking that I missed Jack Hannah last year.Afterwards, we were invited to a private party at Wilco with the cast! I was all like, "I'm so fancy"... well as fancy as one can be stuffing her face with those amazing herbed fries!

Wow...."Shrek the Musical" presented by Broadway in Tucson was remarkable!!! Once again, Broadway in Tucson brought a world-class production to our town, and this time their entertaining production of this Dreamworks Animation classic had something to offer nearly every member of the family. It's a must-see, and you have to hurry because the show runs only to 23 October. If you do go, prepare to be completely amazed! If you think Shrek is a show mainly for children, then you would be missing out on an incredible performance. The comedic acting, the talented singing, the incredible stagecraft, and underlying love story has something to offer everyone in the family! I watched this show with friends, and we had so much fun! We could not stop laughing, watching the lovable antics of Shrek, Donkey, Fiona, and Lord Farquaad. Kids will enjoy the colorful land of "Far Far Away" brought to life before their very eyes, complete with cute fairy tale creatures and funny dialogue. I can honestly say that it was a magical experience. I don't know how they made the Gingerbread Man talk or change facial expressions, or how four puppeteers can make the dragon come so alive, and I am still curious on how Princess Fiona transformed into an ogre within seconds on Stage, or how Pinocchio grew his nose. If you go and have an explanation, please let me know...or better yet, don't. Let me continue to think of it as pure magic. It was a sensational, high-energy show. The actors sang and danced their way into our hearts. A cheerful standing ovation from the audience concluded the performance. Thank you, Yelp and Broadway in Tucson for such a memorable experience!

Shrek is a fart on your friends laughing good time not to be missed.I had such a blast Tuesday night seeing Shrek on Broadway at Broadway in Tucson.The actors were talented, props impressive, stage magnificent, and performance outstanding.I was rather impressed with the overall quality of everything being done, the execution and the stage props were incredible.The facility has an underwhelming sound system and seating reminiscent of my high school auditorium but the production was so great that even a sound enthusiast like myself could overlook the muffled dialogue and lack of room filling sound. I feel bad for the ladies because their bathroom line was always backed up no matter when I walked by so if you are woman don't hold your water too long you have a wait ahead of you.The drink and snack prices are reasonable as well as the parking. This was my first stop at Broadway in Tucson but I am sure it won't be my last.

"Annie" is a must-see musical performance at Centennial Hall. Ellie Pulsifer, the 12-year old actress who plays Annie, has a promising career as a singer and/or actress, in my opinion. She has a strong, yet beautiful singing voice and can belt out a song with the best of them! The whole cast performed wonderfully, especially Stefanie Lindino who played Miss Hannigan. The sets were beautifully done and well controlled during the play. Definitely among the best performances I've ever seen!
