Brüka Theatre — Attraction in Reno

After several years of talking about going to see Buttcracker and missing opportunities because tickets and shows sell out fast we finally had the pleasure of joining Bruka Theater for Buttcracker 7: Osmosis - YAY!! For December 2016, Buttcracker 7 performance was a mashup of Wizard of Oz meets hillbillies for lack of better and let the side splitting laughter take over from start to finish lol.

Purchasing tickets like the other reviewers shared was easy-peasy but be sure to not hesitate like we have in the past or you will miss out on a unique take on a classic holiday favorite, that will have you laughing hysterically and enjoying every moment of this wonderful theater troupe.

Side note: I must share with you that I have gone to traditional Nutcracker ballet performances since I was a little girl and my husband & I continue with the tradition by trying to go every other year while enjoying the Reno Philharmonic - just a little bit of our history with the Nutcracker story.

Continuing - we have been interested in changing things up a bit so had an idea of what was in store for us and this spin with hillbillies meets Wizard of Oz was wildly entertaining and kept us in stitches. We are sooo glad we spent the evening with Bruka Theater - it was a HOOT! THE costumes, makeup, set design, choreography and the storyline was everything we hoped it would be and then some. We look forward to seeing other performances here and of course another Buttcracker again! Thanks Bruka Theater again for a...

Ladies, Gentlemen, and those who have yet to make up their minds! My sweetie and I went to see Kinky Boots, and we LOVED it! I will say that the actors/dancers are faaabulous. The voices are strong and true, and the musical numbers make you feel them in your heart. I didn't want it to end.

The crowd is very eclectic and fun, there were young adults, lots of middle aged folks like us, and some older folks. It was a great mix. I really felt like I was part of the show, which is a wonderful advantage of a small theater. If you enjoy the movie version, you will LOVE the theater version (be aware that there are a few minor differences though).

We are both disabled and the management was so accommodating. They made sure we were comfortable and had an escort at intermission to be able to access the restrooms as they are located downstairs for "ables". For us mobility challenged, we needed to go outside the side door (rolling through a puddle of pee that some dude so nicely left in front of that door) and down the sidewalk with our escort to get there. No big deal, but just be aware.

They only seat 68 people, so get your tickets NOW! Don't wait and...

I've been to two shows here. There was a person in the audience at each performance who insisted on verbally inserting herself into the performer's lines in a way that eas incredibly disturbing and disrespectful to the performers and the audience. What's worse, she seems to know the management, and they tolerate her obnoxious behavior (even though I spoke with the proprietor after it happened the first time and she seemed on the surface to understand my upset). After the second time, I won't be going back to a theater that makes it so clear that it's only concerned about a few...
