The immersive experience into the evolution of Sun Studios & the birthplace of Rock n' Roll did not disappoint. Our group included 4 kids ages 6-11 & 10 adults ages 30's to late 70's. Everyone had a great time. I was the only one with prior knowledge of Sun & its legacy, but everyone learned something new. The actors/ musicians playing Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins & Johnny Cash were amazing (and a few were even understudies). The guy who played Sam Phillips was brilliant. Everything about it was well done & I highly recommend it. Theater is nice & right by River. This play was very limited seating(100 or less people). Parking garage is right next door (they beware the parking spots are very tight for SUVs!).

It's more than just attending a play, it's an immersive experience. One feels transported back in time, to the Sun Recording Studio witnessing lightning in a bottle unfold before your eyes and ears. Two tickets is all it takes to experience this wonderful performance . I highly recommend attending Million Dollar Quartet!

The views are good, but you may have a tall person sitting in front of you.

They do have good beers and other drinks, but only snack foods. Be prepared.

The theater itself is intimate, with seating on three sides of the stage (reminded me of the one at the Watertower in Chicago); actors often enter/exit through the audience, which gives an "up-close-and-personal" feel, and they were very creative with the moveable sets and lighting. The acting was great! Even secondary characters were standouts (particularly Corny Collins, Mrs. Von Tussle and Motormouth Maybelle), but Tracy, her parents and the rest of the gang were all endearing and enjoyable to watch. Overall, for a quality performance without going far from home, BrightSide is a solid choice for a musical matinee!

The costumes, set, talent and choreography were much better than I anticipated for a community theatre. A nice surprise because previous to the show, I was thinking the $27 tickets were outrageous. But when the lights went out and the show began, it didn't take long to see the I had misjudged this little theatre. While it is a very small venue, you can't discount the fact that if it's a production for a young one, they are getting a great taste of the theatre, while sitting closer than they will likely ever sit in a larger scale production. Brightside Theatre is a great addition to the Naperville community.

BFAC hosted the Applause Talent dance competition on March 7, 2020. The venue was too small for…read morethis event. Parking was at 110% capacity with every possible curb utilized. The main seating area was packed. Yet, they were reluctant to open the balcony. To cap it all off, a dumpster behind the facility caught fire. People were sprinting out the doors to move their cars. The fire department came and put it out. But, then the HVAC system started to pull smoke into the auditorium. Everyone reeked of a fire smell. Just a terrible experience. My advice to BFAC - know your limits.

I ordered one cocktail and one coke and when I got my bill was surprised at how inexpensive it was. I tried to check the bill but they didn't provide an itemized bill, only the final charge. I chalked it up to suburban pricing so I tipped well. Much to my surprise they charged my card more than what I had put on the receipt (like $10 more). I contacted them via their website and haven't gotten a response. Will not order anything from here again.

The chicken wings were a little bland of flavor and salty at the same time. I saw a couple of pizzas come out of the kitchen and they looked promising. This was more of a family community hangout spot that looks like it hasn't changed or been upgraded in over 25 years. If I return it will be to enjoy the conversation of friends.
