Goodness they try hard to put a good show on in this theater. Each season is something new, with holiday themed shows for Halloween and Christmas. Theater seats probably seats 300+ people, so it's pretty intimate. It's the folding seats like in a movie theater. There's a full stage lighting but the sound system is really subpar (or maybe the sound techs are bad?). It's crippled several of the shows I've been to, though. Mics cutting in and out, some cast members' mics are too loud while others are ineffective. In multiple shows from 2015-2018. Sometimes it seems like someone is trying to make up for the cruddy sound quality by turning the volume up. *face palm* That's now how that works, people!
Production Quality:
OI've seen 6 different productions here in the last 3 years, and half were truly decent: a magic show where a middle aged magician did all the standard tricks with enough gusto to entertain the crowd, a summer show with lots of audience participation and bubbles and beach balls and lasers (!), and lastly the surprising late-night Christmas show we just saw (2018) where they told the story of Jesus' birth from the Bible. It was a simple nativity scene with Christmas carols (Six Flags America really leaned into the Christian Christmas theme this year vs last year's more secular stuff). It was low budget, and the mics cut out lot, but it was heartfelt and familiar. I was surprised to see a religious show at Six Flags, but it was the last show off the day (8:45pm) and the name made it obvious that it was religious ("Behold, the Messiah"), so no surprise proselytizing.
Overall, I hope management invests in a better sound system here. Or a sound tech. Or just figure out what needs fixing and fix it, because the poor performers are putting themselves out there in usually-cheesy family friendly shows, and they can't be happy with the dicey sound either. Otherwise people are going to mostly visit here to escape bad weather (heat in the summer and cold in the winter). read more
