Went to see the production of Rocky Horror here… big mistake. I should’ve know when the tickets were only $35 that it would be the quality of an elementary drama team putting on a show at a nursing home. (You get what you pay for.) The theatre was hot and uncomfortable, rows of chairs placed gave 3 inches of leg room, there were no bathrooms available to the guests even though they were serving alcohol. (Not providing bathrooms in a theatre is illegal and against the Americans with disabilities care act) The movie was not playing in the background (not sure that theatre could afford a projector) the singing was bad, the acting was worse, the story was butchered and clown mimes were added unnecessarily leaving me wondering if maybe they had to use the costumes they all ready had instead of investing into the correct show wardrobe. Instead of introducing virgins to the show, the director stood on stage and talked about herself for 15 minutes. Do not waste your time at this theatre or on these bad actors. Example :The actor playing Brad couldn’t stop laughing and had to put a finger up letting the entire theatre know he needed a minute. Hopefully the “actors” don’t quit their day jobs. I’ve been to 30+ shows (3 productions of Rocky Horror) this was the worst show I’ve ever been to and if i had tomatoes i woulda thrown them. I think the worst part about this whole experience is that this is what the people of Prescott are used to, they don’t know any better because this is all they have and i find that sad. If you’re thinking about seeing this show, do yourself a favor and pass this “theatre” by; see it in a major city otherwise you’re just doing a disservice...
Read moreSo happy to have a performing arts theatre close to home. Have been driving to Prescott for years for plays etc.
Immediately upon walking into the center you are greeted with a wonderful, clean scent. The lobby is visually stunning with warm ambient lighting and a great mural. They have a snack stand with reasonably priced munchies. They paired well with my more than reasonable $25 adult admission ticket.
We saw the opening night of CLUE: The Musical. Let me just say...compared to other musical themed shows I've attended in the quad cities area, thank you for actually casting people that can sing for a Musical. Lol! The actors were all phenomenal and well cast. Seats were decently comfortable and wide. It is a small intimate venue.
We will definitely be coming back. The production exceeded my expectations and really gave us our...
Read moreWe went to see River Dance. It was awesome. The seats at the Prescott Valley Performance are quite uncomfortable. The seats were so straight forward instead of being directed to the stage each of our party of 14 had to sit straight back, sideways, with our necks twisted to the right the whole show. It was so uncomfortable. We had to pay $4.50 for a bottle of water!!! Ridiculous! And lastly people were allowed to enter the Performance Center far after the show started and it was very disruptive to those that entered courteously before time.
Sorry I have to spill this all out but I'd like to see a few shows that are coming there, and this was not a...
