I saw Anastasia last night and the cast, staging, costuming and music were all excellent…read more The service, however, was extremely poor. We ordered popcorn for intermission over an hour prior to the start of the show, knowing that it isn't delivered until intermission. They waited until the second act was beginning to tell us they "didn't make enough" and we wouldn't be getting any. They gave us nachos and promised to comp one of the 3 orders, then charged me for it anyway. The nachos were cold and soggy when they arrived about 3 minutes left in intermission. I gave my credit card in good faith when the check was dropped early in the intermission, then had the wrong amount charged to my credit card (over double my actual total) and someone else's credit card presented to me not once but twice. It took 10-15 minutes for the mess to be sorted between the manager and server and the server spent most of that chatting and laughing with what appeared other table involved. The manager also blew off my concerns about their disorganized service and lack of communication regarding availability of the menu. My party and I were not high maintenance, or demanding. There was no obvious reason for the chaos, besides a clear lack of organization and no managerial care for customer experience.

A lovely Art Deco building with very friendly ushers. The seats and carpeting feel very 80's but…read moreeverything is in good repair. The temperature was fine (I hate being cold!) They got us in and out of the building quickly and the bathroom line (for women) went fairly quickly (and we were told there were bathrooms on the upstairs level too.)

Our family attended a concert here a couple weeks ago!…read more With a location in downtown Topeka, right off the highway, it's not too difficult to find! On the flip side of that, the location DID make parking a little tricky - there are numerous garages and street parking options around, but if you read carefully, many are highly restricted, and/or close to the public early in the evening, and/or have other restrictions. We parked in one garage, only to read on the door on the way out that it was set to close and lock down 20 mins later. So, back to the car, and I had to drive a couple blocks over to (luckily!) find what was probably the very last street parking space within a 10 block area. Inside the venue, I feel this place has aged particularly well. I remember when it was newly renovated, and despite that being decades ago, it still seemed in good repair and was a nice place to see a medium-sized event. Lighting and sound were both excellent, and the acoustics from our angle on the floor, near the back, was also very good. The view was perfect - no obstruction in front, due to ample rise in the auditorium as you go back. Navigating the building was also simple, well organized, and well attended by staff to help. Maybe the only thing that could really use some help is the restroom facilities, at least the one on the main floor. It's very tight, and falling into a bit of a state of needing some update and repair. Security did a nice job on our visit, and moved through our line pretty quickly! I'll probably have a better plan for parking next time; other than that, this was a good experience!

One day this will be a beautiful, premier venue in downtown Topeka! I attended their first ever…read more"Rocky Horror Picture Show" interactive event a couple of years ago and it was the first time I'd been. The theater itself is in rough shape, but the bones are there. With some TLC, this will make for a gorgeous art house style theater. I can't wait to attend more events here in future and show my support for the Jayhawk!

The Kansas Sampler Festival was a fun a way to explore the entire state in a few hours at one park…read more It moves locations every few years, and this year it was in Wamego, about 15 miles east of me. Eric R. and I found parking in downtown Wamego and walked to the park. Adult tickets were $5 each which is a fair price. There were maps everywhere, with different entertainers at different stages and ampitheatres. Tents were spread throughout the big park, each one highlighting a different area of the state. Inside were booths of CVBs and representatives from various cities. In the vendor/KS products booth, we met the writer of the Kansas Trail Guide book that is not even out on amazon yet. We talked to him about how he explored the whole state for hikes and trails, and we bought his book. We look forward to exploring the state for hikes and Eric R.'s cycling passion. There were some food trucks and booths from around the state. Eric R. tried BBQ from Halverson. We heard the bison burgers were great but the line was too long and we had to go back to MHK. I was intrigued by the Lindsborg tent - there is a Swedish community there a little under 2 hours from us, so we hope to visit Lindsborg soon!
