My mother-in-law told me it has come a long way from when she first saw it in the 1950s. For the fact alone that this show has been in production for so long (now in its 87th year) blows my mind. She told me Andy Griffith got his start in this play. It's a whole experience, from the parking lot where you walk down a path in the woods (they have a golf cart for those who need assistance, which was great for my MIL) to the theater area. There are areas for refreshments and the outdoor and the amphitheater is the perfect setting for a production that has music, spectacle (now with illumination effects as well). They even have wine and beer in addition to popcorn/snacks. And the acting is good. I will admit that the casting for Native Americans was a little funny, as most of them were clearly not of this descent (and one of the leads had a strong Southern accent, LOL). Costumes are on point and the set is very creative. I loved my time here. It was the perfect summer night in early August.

The Virginia Stage Company's "A Very Merry Christmas Carol" at the Wells Theatre has become a…read moreholiday tradition for our family and this year did not disappoint. The entire audience seemed excited for the performance, with the Christmas spirit felt throughout the lobby and theater. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The available concessions were tasty, though the spiked eggnog was sorely missed this year. One recommendation would be to improve communication regarding drink availability at the bars. If certain beverages are not served at the theater entrance bar (like hot cocoa and coffee), they should not appear on that menu, or guests should be informed before waiting in line. I witnessed dozens of theatergoers being told after a long wait that hot drinks were only available at the side bar by the front windows which created a lot of unnecessary frustration. The Wells Theatre has a wonderful antique nostalgia while remaining well maintained and very clean. We were fortunate to experience the show from a completely different seat location that previous years, on the opposite side of the house, and the updated writing and script changes were enough to keep the production feeling fresh and engaging. We also appreciated the intermission being placed after the First Spirit rather than after the Second, as in previous years, as it made the acts feel more balanced. Additionally, the return of the Third Spirit's in-audience entrance was definitely appreciated.

I attend a showing of this on Wednesday night with 3 friends, not really sure of what to expect…read more We were one of the few groups there without children, so I was a bit apprehensive when we first arrived. However, as soon as the show began we were captivated. It was very exciting from start to finish and not like any other event I have been to in this area before. The performance was about 2 hours, divided into many smaller performances that were each about 5 - 8 minutes (guesstimating) . Of all the performances, there was only one that we thought was a little cheesy. Otherwise, we loved the show and had a great time. I was considering bringing my 4 year old niece, but there are parts of the show that I thought could be scary to a small child. I would guess most of the kids there were probably 6-10 years old. If you're looking for something different to try out, definitely give this a go. The arena is pretty small too, so i wouldn't recommend paying the VIP price for tickets, since there's only about 20 rows of seats anyway.
