A feast for your eyes and ears, directed by Jack O'Brien, who directed Hairspray. I'm still thinking about the stage design, and how it blended with the choreography. Joe did they balance on the wooden slats?! Lulu (Miki Abraham) stole the show. "Independently Owned" was my favorite song, and she was great in every way. Broadway In Austin made ticket pickup easy. Also they've removed the clear bag policy. Bass Concert Hall now offers additional restrooms past the foyer on four floors in a separate building; there were two people in front of me in line and zero behind me. The pedestrian traffic was well organized by the ushers and helpful volunteers. Her your corns up Austin, and take my kernels of wisdom to motivate you to see the Broadway show of the year.

Everything about this theater is easy and comfortable. Complimentary parking for season ticket holders. The parking lot right outside the theater is $15 dollars, but there is free handicap parking in that lot. In the lobby there are tables and couches for seating, a full bar with snacks, and live music for the hour before the performance. We saw Come From Away, and every member of the ensemble cast was amazing. Definitely comparable to the Broadway touring shows. There is ample handicap seating and the theatre called me ahead of time to ask if our person using a wheelchair wanted the seat removed so they could stay in their wheelchair or if they would transfer to a theatre seat. Wonderful experience and talent!

I went in, knowing nothing about the production and gained lots of knowledge as to the events behind it. On September 11, 2001, Gander International Airport in Newfoundland, Canada took in 38 commercial flights numbering almost 7000 passengers in response to the 911 bombings & the US closing its airspace. The a tiny town of Gander welcomed them with open arms and fed them, provided housing and clothes over the course of 4 days. It's a heartwarming story and leaves hope for the best of humanity and connection. The cast and protection were great. Adding to that is Celtic bluegrass music and an infectious enthusiasm. I highly recommend it. Running through September 27th. 1 hour 40 minute production, no intermission.

The kids ate it up...lots of comedy in his act and the parents enjoyed it just as much as the kiddos.

This guy is GREAT! Highly recommend.

All three of my kids (ages 11, 13, and 15) enjoyed his show at our church, and he made a point of ensuring the kids were as engaged as the adults. At the Faire he drew quite the diverse crowd at both shows I went to. At one he was repeatedly propositioned by an older woman clearly into her cups; he handled the situation with wit and grace. In short, he's clearly a professional performer and very good at what he does.

You'll laugh so hard you'll get a 6 pack. One memorable show was with the Stranger Things themed improv night. I invited a group of 6 friends and while some of us were caught up on the latest season (4) and some were not, we all left feeling like we experienced real comedy and humor. Everything was pretty clean as I brought some new friends, fearing there would be cringe worthy, lewd jokes but it was nothing but wholesome and witty. The most recent musical improv show I went to was the Ramadamaling high school rock themed one where they ask the audience for inspiration and build a real story line and set of songs - verses and choruses included. My friends thought it was a hit and it's catering to a creative, witty, and family friendly humor. No drink minimum like some other places and no need as there's plenty of natural buzz in the theatre. You can book tickets in advance which helps. Just recommend to come early to get good seats as a first come first served basis.

Luckily, the box office really has it together here. In addition, the sound quality is pretty spectacular. Sometimes in a venue as old as the Paramount (since 1915) getting the acoustics right can prove difficult.

It includes a 400-seat auditorium, the Patti Strickel Harrison Theatre, where we saw the inaugural performance of the musical, Anything Goes, this weekend. Clearly outstanding, Broadway-worthy productions such as this deserve this professional venue. Not only is it equipped with state-of-the-art technology, it's architecturally beautiful and comfortable for patrons. Our seats were on the floor level, but the wrap-around balcony is positioned so there isn't a bad seat in the house. It's an intimate setting, which is nice for connecting with the live shows, but it also means the shows sell out. Buy your tickets in advance online rather than driving out and chancing getting one at the door. Tickets for this performance ranged $15-$18, for a total of $20 with the purchase fees. Such a deal that I'll have no problem making the drive from Austin often with family and friends. Texas State Students get in for $8. Right across the street is the Edward Gary Street Garage, built in tandem with the PAC to allow for easy parking. We paid $5 flat rate. The PAC also houses a 300-seat recital hall, rehearsal and classroom space, so there's a lot more going on in that building than the shows. No wonder their programs are becoming nationally known.
