The line went by the prop station and then you could get drinks and snacks for the show if you wanted. The concessions were extremely reasonable as well. I hope they don't change that. The show/ experience was fun but the acoustics aren't great so when people are saying stuff in the theater as part of the show we couldn't really hear. Otherwise, fun night out. A neat historic theater.

I saw it again, this month, and it was not as well done and not Biblically accurate at all - there was a lot of creative license taken in that respect. That's not BTL's responsibility though. I really enjoyed a Bollywood production here years and years ago and my husband and I saw Mama Mia! which surprised me as it was a really good production! I like the Mark C. Smith Concert Hall. There's really not a bad seat in the house! There's a full-service bar/lounge on the first floor and beverages are allowed in the Smith Concert Hall. Do know there are no drink holders like you have in movie theaters, so you will be holding your drink at your seat. There are no purse restrictions that I am aware of, they don't require clear purses; however, if you have a full-sized [not a miniature, but a full-sized] umbrella security will check it upon entry for you to retrieve when you leave. The restrooms are very clean and they have a concession stand on the ground floor. I could see popcorn from the area I chose to sit outside the performance for a minute. Parking is easy at the garage just east of the venue across Monroe. I saw John Crist's comedy show at the Smith Hall earlier this year and it was really good, too! Pro tip: If you volunteer to be an usher, you will see the BTL productions free of charge! They have a lot of ushers working and it looks like an easy gig, as they basically just pass out playbills. Thanks BTL for elevating the Huntsville cultural experience for 65 years!

My niece is 4 years old and is enrolled in ballet and loves Cinderella and all things princess. My sister called to see about tickets and information and was treated with the upmost respect and kindness. Turned out for the price of $30/ticket we were able to get a special package. It was the Royal Ball package. My niece was able to dress as her favorite princess, go on stage with all the other little ones for a princess parade, meet the characters, had pictures made by a professional photographer with Cinderella (which we received free of charge with the package 5x7), we were served royal refreshments (glass slipper cookies, fruit, cheeses, and punch), and all the children received a goody bag with a glass slipper keepsake. It was amazing. They also give each child a week worth of free classes at their ballet school. The staff were all above and beyond what is required. They greeted all the children and adults with special thanks and appreciation. My niece definitely got the royal treatment! She loved being addressed as princess (which all the staff did). The performance was second to none. The acts were brilliantly placed and the ballet was beautiful. I have never been to a ballet program, only plays, but this show was great! Even though it had no words or talking the picture was perfectly clear. Would highly recommend this show and I am looking forward to watch another!

TRAIN ON THE BRAIN!…read more I don't know why, but trains just mesmerize me. I remember standing in line in a small town museum and hearing a train in close proximity. I looked at the cashier and said "excuse me" as I went over and watched the train until it passed. The cashier remarked that she had never seen that before and she laughed, (she probably thought that I was possessed or something). This train was so close that if the window had a hole in it, I probably could have leaned out and touched the train. Small towns are so accustomed to trains that they just take them for granted. However, I don't and I will always yield to trains! This train yard has a 1904 Steam Engine on display and you can actually climb aboard! They have a cute shaded pavilion where you can enjoy lunch and actually charge your phone, (Outside!) The roundhouse is great and appeared to be in impeccable shape but it is a secured building and cannot be accessed. It is now an event space that can be rented for special occasions. I would love to have been able to enter and experience this historic space. They do have some historic buildings on the property and a museum. There are also very clean restrooms conveniently located on site. We did not go into the museum because it was such a beautiful day and we really just enjoyed being outside. This is a great place for kids and adults too!

Also I saw the other review and it said her kid was bullied. Thats only because the kid is a jerk. Some kids are jerks, teach your kid that thats life and to get over it. I was hated at my school because ONE poupular kid didnt like me. But I got over it. I didnt like him either or anyone else who hated me. So yeah. I love it.

Fantasy Playhouse Children's Theater and Academy has been in Huntsville since 1961! That's quite a while! Their shows are all family friendly, too which is an added bonus! A little over a year ago, in August 2025 Fantasy Playhouse moved to the historic Merrimack Mill district in Huntsville featuring a 278 seat accessible theatre, new classrooms, upgraded backstage facilities, and a lower floor with dedicated classrooms, a loading dock, a shop, and an office wing. The Merrimack facility was renovated and is a nearly 25,000 square foot facility. We saw matinee plays such as "A Christmas Carol." These days their plays are in the Von Braun Center Playhouse, although I don't recall where they were held when we were children. It may be been the VBC. Since the talent is primarily, if not completely, local and includes countless volunteers (one of my Sisters and her Husband design and construct sets for Fantasy), the plays are inexpensive, especially for children at matinee performances. Thanks, Fantasy Playhouse for providing affordable family friendly entertainment in Huntsville and for training young people in theater!
