Actors Theatre of Louisville — Attraction in Louisville

My review primarily focuses on the logistics of the Star Wars show on Saturday night, which left much to be desired.

We arrived 30 minutes early, hoping to grab a drink and relax before the show. Instead, we found ourselves stuck in a crowd of people with no clear communication about what was happening. People around us were confused, asking what we were waiting for. Eventually, we were told we had to wait for the previous show to exit. With less than 30 minutes before our show, we were packed into the entrance area like sardines. No access to a relaxation area, bar, or restrooms. It was a stand-still.

As the previous audience started exiting, they were just as cramped as we were. It felt chaotic and unsafe—many in my group even commented that it seemed like a fire hazard. While I’m not necessarily claustrophobic, the crowding was overwhelming.

With only 10 minutes to go before showtime, we were still not admitted into the theater. Since seating is assigned by section rather than specific seats, everyone was crowding the theater doors, jockeying for the best spots. When the doors finally opened just a few minutes before the show started, it turned into a stressful rush. People were moving recklessly to claim seats, and no one was checking tickets—it was a total free-for-all. For the amount of money we paid, the chaotic and rushed experience felt incredibly disappointing.

Lastly, the bathroom situation left much to be desired. There seemed to be only two options: one line for Men and the other line appearing to be Unisex. While I appreciate the effort to create an inclusive environment, this setup ultimately failed to consider everyone's comfort, making it less inclusive overall. Many women, myself included, felt uneasy sharing a restroom with men. Inclusivity is vital, but it should also include providing spaces where women can feel secure and have their privacy respected.

Overall, the show itself was very enjoyable, but the logistics and setup detracted significantly from...

A Galaxy of Laughter and Glamour!

I just attended the Star Wars parody burlesque show, and it was absolutely stellar! The performers brought the force and the flair, blending humor, sexiness, and top-notch talent into a production that would make any Star Wars fan proud.

The attention to detail in the costumes, props, and choreography was incredible, with clever nods to iconic scenes and characters throughout. The clever script had the entire audience roaring with laughter, and the performances struck the perfect balance of cheeky homage and stunning artistry.

Every act was a highlight, from jaw-dropping lightsaber routines to hilarious reimaginings of classic moments. The energy in the room was electric, and the performers’ charisma was simply out of this galaxy.

Whether you’re a die-hard Star Wars fan or just someone who loves a fun, creative night out, this show is a must-see. I’d give it six stars if I could! Bravo to the cast and crew—can’t wait to return to the galaxy far, far away!

I will for sure come...

We attended the Tribute to TS in Louisville. This was an amazing experience that made a core memory for both my daughter and I. First, all of the staff at the venue were so incredibly nice and engaging. We were the first people there and talked to several staff while we waited. Everyone seemed so happy! The customer service was on point. When the concert started, it was beyond our expectations. The musicians were wonderful and we had a great time, especially on the last song (a breakout of singing and possibly some chair dancing). :-) Afterwards, it was an honor to somehow get an invite to meet the musicians. They were kind and gracious and fawned over my daughter who was over the moon to meet them. They truly made this a memorable night. Everything about this night...
