They offer themed merchandise tied to each production, which is such a fun touch for fans. There are also plenty of concessions available, including snacks and alcoholic beverages. I had a glass of wine (a double pour, and surprisingly affordable), along with popcorn and chocolate-covered raisins. The popcorn wasn't the freshest, but it was still yummy. The venue feels very safe, with bag checks and scanners at the entrance. Bathrooms are spacious and clean. The theater itself has excellent acoustics and a large stage. There is always something exciting on the schedule, and ticket prices are usually reasonable. It's a great option for a family outing, date night, girls' night, or even a solo treat. Doors open about an hour before showtime, with access to the theater seating available 30 minutes prior.

The singing, costumes, movement, and talent was superb! The facilities are nice and in the center of the city located near lots of restaurants, bars, and other things to do to make a full day of being in downtown. The staff was very friendly. This is my first time I had some questions about where things are located and they were willing to help or walk me to the location. The one thing I do not like is how the roads are continuous, and there is no middle section stairs, so every time a person needs to come in or go out over the road if you're not seated in the center, you're going to have to get up. Other than that, I would definitely recommend going to see a show.

It's about 2 miles long and you tune into their radio station. The lights, mostly, go with the music. A lot of areas were lackluster compare to the 'better' parts. You turn your lights off and drive through and enjoy the music and lights. Some areas were extremely awesome! Some pictures attached but don't do it justice with the moving lights and music. It's awesome that they are out here on the holidays working for us to enjoy the show. Much love for them on that! Docked a star because I think some areas could have had some better upkeep. (Lights torn down here and there) Some areas were understandably 'fillers' and some parts didn't make a ton of sense... But overall was really awesome. Good mix of music.. was well worth the $7/person and will very likely go again next year! Thanks y'all!

It has been a favorite movie of mine since I was a small child and I couldn't wait to see this show. I haven't been to a ballet since I was in elementary school and saw Swan Lake. I never forgot that emotional experience! Last night's production invoked those same feelings. The costumes were gorgeous! The dancing was beautifully choreographed and expressive. The puppeteer that handled the puppet of Toto was amazing! The orchestra was fantastic, as well. It was an incredibly emotional experience to witness our Cincinnati Ballet in action.

One week before the official opening of each new Cincinnati Ballet show, they open up a few spots in their practice studio for guests to watch them rehearse. It's a great way to preview the coming show, while sitting only a few feet away from the stars. The seating is assigned, so get your tickets together with the people you want to sit with. Try to get there a little early as well because the parking lot has limited space available. The main part of the rehearsal is about an hour long, then you can continue watching or file out for free pizza and water, wine, or beer. It's a very social setting, so this is your time to mingle and start up conversations with the people involved as well as the people attending. Here's a rundown on the skinny of the event: Watch rehearsal in the studio with Cincinnati Ballet Company dancers and choreographers. Enjoy delicious pizza provided by LaRosa's. Sip beer provided by Arnold's Bar & Grill and wine provided by Ludlow Wines. Meet Cincinnati Ballet dancers and staff. Go behind the scenes. Socialize Time: Rehearsal begins promptly at 5:15 p.m, Reception begins at 6:15 p.m. Reservations are required. "Please note that all seating is assigned and that Cincinnati Ballet reserves the right to redistribute your tickets if you have not checked in by 5:10pm. Handicapped accessible seating is available in limited amounts; should you require handicapped accessible seating, please notify the ticket representative when making your reservations." The way the access to this event breaks down is as follows: Seating is limited. If you have a subscription package or are a donor to Cincinnati Ballet, you will be given first shot at the available seating. A few days later, reservations will be opened to all those who hold a ticket for the individual performance. For every ticket purchased, you will get 2 reservation spots to Ballet & Beer. If this does not fill the event space to capacity, it will be opened up to the general public at a later date. These events can easily be booked to capacity quickly, so be sure to keep on top of the reservation deadlines. If it sells out, don't fret. You can call the day of to see if there are any early cancellations. Additionally, you can show up and at 5:10, tickets that have not been claimed may be redistributed. Also, if they do fill the seating, they may be so inclined as to allow some people to enter and stand in the aisles. Arnold's is also running specials for Ballet & Beer which allows you to bring in your ticket stub in exchange for a buy one, get one free entree after the show. When the show officially begins, Arnold's will offer a special $40 price which allows you to get dinner before the show, see the show, and then return to Arnold's for dessert after. These are limited though, so you want to reserve in advance in possible. This is a fun way to support the arts, get a feel for what goes into a production, get a sneak peek of the show, and socialize with fellow patrons.

If underground jazz is your thing, then the Loft Society is where you want to be. The setting is…read morevery intimate, as the living room of a 1 bedroom apartment has been converted into a musical venue, with the artists within touching distance of the concertgoers. The music is generally top-notch, though you can certainly run into a "new age" sound every once-in-a-while (and I supposed that's good if you're into that sort of thing). The hard part is finding out when there is a show. There's no website or mailing list, as far as I know, and the only way to learn of a show is to stop by the building and look for a flyer. Flyers for shows are usually out 3-4 weeks beforehand so you have time to plan. The only other downside is that it is somewhat pricey , at $20 a ticket (pay at the door), but they provide food and beverage. If you been looking for an intimate space that hosts underground jazz musicians from across the country, keep an eye out on Calhoun St. for a flyer and stop by The Loft Society. You won't be disappointed.
