Theatre By The Sea — Attraction in South Kingstown

Billed as one of their children’s summer Fairy-Tale musicals ( and after experiencing their production of Million Dollar Quartet) we thought bringing our grandkids to the production of Beauty and the Beast would be a delightful experience for all. To our dismay it was a performance that didn’t even capture the adults in the audience. With no background scenery( just a black curtain) , no props except a bench and a few flowers, sparse dialogue and songs that were clearly not geared to children , this production was an absolute failure. Children were talking and whining loudly throughout this tedious play. The performances by the cast were fine but the material and staging were CLEARLY not chosen with children in mind.

We have already purchased tickets to Theater by the Sea’s Aladdin production next week so we could bring another group of our grandchildren. If that play is as badly produced for children as this one today, instead of the fun morning we anticipate, I am ...

One of Rhode Island's many arts & culture gems! A great place for a night out down by the sea. Before or after a show you literally can go walking on the beach which is less than 5 minutes away by car. They always put on great shows and performances which you can get updates on their website. They offer discounted seasonal passes in advance. It's now air conditioned and it's also nice and a cooler day with the fans going. You can just feel the energy being down by the ocean. Beautifully landscaped grounds with an outdoor bar, sitting areas and clean restrooms. A bonus is the Cabaret for after the show In which sometimes you can meet the performers. They have ample parking and it's extremely organized with people in bright vests and light wands to help guide you to your...
