I went online and found some "value" seats for only $35 each. Seats were on the edge but the small theater made every seat great! I liked that they had a scavenger hunt for preshow and intermission. Sadly the second clue was too hard to figure out. I completed 3 out of 5 clues. I also enjoyed the costumes on the mezzanine. Excellent theater in Indianapolis!

It definitely exceeded my expectations. Instead of digital tickets, you just give your name to the host at the door at they'll lead you to your seats. Your server will then bring your drinks. Unsweetened tea, lemonade, and coffee are all complimentary but they have sodas and alcoholic drinks for sale. They also have dessert available for $7 as well. They can deliver the dessert during intermission which was perfect. Our server Maria was super friendly and on top of things. But all the servers and bussers were on top of it. We saw Cinderella and it was awesome. It was close to the original but a little modernized in the best way. There was plenty of crowd interaction and the actors were all fantastic. The props were cool but the costumes were even better. They also had a live band playing the music. Our seats were on the side of the stage and I wasn't sure we'd have a good view but the actors moved around the floor a lot and there was a tv on the side as well showing what was happening as well. I already bought tickets to another show and my family is looking forward to it.

Wife and I went to see "The Play That Goes Wrong" today. It was actually a lot of fun. The buffet…read morewas decent, with roast beef, tilapia, and several vegetable options along with salad and all the all the toppings. My only complaint is that there were little to no vegan and gluten free options available, as my wife is gluten free and vegan. All she could eat was a zucchini and squash blend, some cucumbers with French dressing, and some fruit that was a little tart. The service of the wait staff was fantastic. Jasmine did a heck of a job taking care of us. Addressed any concerns and made sure we had a good experience. The dessert at intermission was really good. My wife had some strawberry sorbet (v and gf) and I had a strawberry sundae. Both had real strawberries in them and the ice cream I had was great. Overall, I give them 4/5 just because of the lack of vegan and gluten free items in the menu. Also, handicapped parking was nonexistent, and we ended up parking on the street next to the theatre.

My spouse and I decided to class up our day date by catching a movie at Living Room Theater on Mass…read moreAve, which sounds like something sophisticated people do. We are not always sophisticated people, but we are excellent at pretending. We started at the bar, which looks the part completely. Elegant, well stocked, the kind of bar that makes you feel like you should be wearing something nicer than what you showed up in. I ordered an old fashioned, at which point the gentleman behind the bar admitted, with full transparency, that he was not actually the bartender and would need to Google how to make it. I genuinely appreciated the honesty. In a galaxy full of people who would have just guessed and handed me something terrible, this man chose truth. I thanked him, switched my order to whiskey and coke, and we moved on as allies. From there we headed to concessions and ordered the Take it to the Greek wrap, the La Bamba pizza, and fries with little bits of steak on top. The food was good. Not life altering, not the kind of meal that makes you grab someone's arm and say nothing, just nodding, but genuinely solid movie theater food that arrived at our seats without us having to do anything except recline and wait. The seats reclined. There were actual tables. This is civilized. We watched Disclosure Day, which if you have any interest in extraterrestrial or UFO subject matter is absolutely worth your time. Sitting in a reclining leather seat watching a film about potential contact with beings from other worlds felt appropriately cinematic, even if the leather on most seats has seen better days. Chipping and worn in spots, which is the one visible crack in an otherwise well maintained experience. The theater itself was clean, the concept is fantastic, and the overall vibe delivered exactly what a day date calls for. Four stars. The bar needs an actual bartender on deck and the seats could use some attention, but Living Room Theater is still one of the better ways to spend an afternoon in Indianapolis.

I wanted to see The Devil Wears Prada 2 but didn't feel like doing the regular movie theater thing,…read moreso we decided to try this place out for a more elevated experience. Glad we did! We went on a Sunday and found street parking pretty easily, but then realized the theater validates parking for up to 3 hours. Such a nice perk -- wish I knew before circling around lol. We bought our tickets online ahead of time, and when we got there I ordered the garlic cheesy bread and a drink at the counter. Total was around $15. The seats were really comfy and spacious, which made the whole experience feel worth it. The food came out pretty fast. The garlic cheesy bread was probably like a 5/10 for me... not terrible, but I probably wouldn't order it again. Overall though, really nice theater and I'd definitely come back for another movie night.

Phoenix Theater is in the heart of downtown and this being my first visit I was amazed by the contemporary building which wasn't too huge but just the right size where we enjoyed a 2 hours long show around some really impactful issues in the world. The space seems to be non profit driven and built going by the donations wall and it's kept really clean and spotless. The staff is very friendly and they maneuvered effortlessly through the show. I saw people from all parts of the world, and professions attend the show and had invigorating conversations in the end. Definitely check out the shows and plan some especially during the colder season.

Had a wonderful experience at Hilbert Circle Theatre…read more It's a beautiful vintage venue that's clearly been well maintained over the years. The architecture and overall atmosphere give it a timeless feel that you don't get in newer concert halls. Yes, the seats are a bit dated - but honestly, that's part of the charm. It adds to the character of the space rather than taking away from it. The orchestra here also puts on great performances, which really elevates the whole experience. Overall, this is definitely a must-see when you're in Indianapolis. A classic venue with a lot of personality.

Not to mention, this space has a refreshment booth, which is always a plus. You've gotta appreciate these smaller performance spaces because it keeps the show more intimate with the audience, as well as getting the community involved in local theatre. I cannot stress enought how important it is for us to support that which makes our city special - the arts especially. I'm a huge advocate of small businesses and local artists, so forgive me if I sound huffy-puffy when I say GO RIGHT NOW! See some indie show that will probably never be seen again because some guy wrote it in his car because he needed the money for gas. You won't regret it! And even if you do regret it, you'll still walk away with a different point of view. That's the beauty of theatre!

TOTS, or Theatre On the Square, is one of Indy's best bets when wanting to take in local theater…read more TOTS offers a varying selection of plays and other types of shows, and is one of the main theaters used during the Indyfringe Festival in the fall. The Main Stage offers auditorium style seating. Stage 2 is more of an intimate setting that is primarily made up of four top tables and higher bar top seating. In both cases, if you want to feel as if your on stage, the front row will but you extremely close to the action. There is a small concession stand that offers drinks, including beer and wine, and snacks for cash prior to entering. Tips to keep in mind: **Seating for both stages is first come first serve, so make sure to arrive early if you wish to have all of your party sitting together. ***The main restroom is down a flight of stairs. They do have a single restroom on the top level near the main stage; however, it may or may not have a "Cast" sign **If you don't have time to visit their box office, they do use Vendini online ticketing, which will charge you a small fee. ***Parking - It's Mass Ave, so parking can be hard to come by. Factor extra time in when planning to arrive in time for shows ***If you tend to go to a lot of their shows, they usually offer a flex pass at the start of the season that is a good option.

That was the most painful 45 minutes I have sat through in theater . Ever. And we are a fan of live theater. At one point I leaned over and told my husband " this looks like the"play" out elementary kids would come up with and we would sit through years ago. Very sad because it was our first play to check out with the Festival and we thought next year we might do a pass for multiple shows. Not sure about that now if they just let anyone sing and ramble through an incoherant mess that no one was clapping or engaged with :(
