Lyceum Theatre — Attraction in Arrow Rock

Love the modern season lineups they present... a little on the pricey side, though. I understand it's because they're hiring paid professional actors and tech crew, but I've seen community shows with similar qualities and much less expensive tickets. For such a rural area, the price doesn't make it affordable & accessible to a lot of people. The seats are also incredibly close... I literally rub elbows and spend a good chunk of the show trying to shift into different positions to avoid touching the person in the seat next to me. And don't even plan on using the ladies restroom unless it's during the show, because you'll be in line 10-15 minutes or more.

They've discontinued paper programs to avoid the expense, which I get... sort of. They've replaced it with a digital format accessible by a QR code you can scan. However, if you're going to digitize programs in an area without mobile service, make sure you have the bandwidth to support your entire audience. We couldn't access the program because their wi-fi was maxed out.

Overall, it is a good theatre and I always enjoy the show. It's just... for $50/ticket, it would be nice to view the program, use the restroom, and not be sitting on top of the stranger next to you. Seems like lots of money being spent on the theatrics and not the overall audience experience, which comes off a bit...

While camping at the nearby park, we came to town to eat lunch at the historic Tavern restaurant (so very special and delicious) and asked why we needed reservations to eat there. We were told about the local performance of the Agatha Christie play, "Murder on the Orient Express", one of my favs. We went to the lovely theater to inquire about tickets and they the friendly staff said they just had a cancellation on the FRONT ROW! We grabbed them up ($40 with senior discount), and returned after a short shopping trio on their lovely Main Street.

The performance was sold out and superb! It was a very professional performance and an enjoyable afternoon. We hope to return and be one of the 415 people that still appreciate truly artistic activity in the havoc of this...

We had a great afternoon taking in the production of Million Dollar Quartet featuring Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins! It was a wonderful play in the intimate setting of the Lyceum Theater. The actors and actresses were top notch and the views were great from our seats. We sat in the back row with our children just in case we needed to leave early but they really enjoyed the show as well! Arrow Rock is a State Historic location for the State of Missouri and the theater is a wonderful place to take in the arts just about 35 minutes west of...
