Roxy's Downtown — Attraction in Wichita

We started out the night with good seats, but then t all took a downhill turn in a hurry. We prepaid for our food in which they offered three options, two of which had mushrooms but didn’t say this in the menu. As I detest mushrooms I tried to get food changed, but it wasn’t happening. I got served seven Swedish meatballs, each about the size of a quarter, a half cup mashed potatoes and a half cup green beans, which was cold. My girlfriend got the chicken, which also was cold, and normally she eats small portions, well this wasn’t even big enough for her. $23 each and we came home and ate, that is very sad. She said the chicken wasn’t bad, not great, just not bad and my meal was as bland as can be, after being assured by wait staff the meatballs were very flavorful in their own right.

Now let’s get to the show. I know some people enjoy drag shows, and power to them enjoy what you will, but I am not one of them. Nowhere in the billing did they disclose this to be such a show. I sat through the first half of the show as to not make a scene for my girlfriend, but even she wanted to leave at intermission, she brought it up to leave.

We enjoy the local theatre scene but we will never return...

Would have enjoyed going to their latest show, but they cancel shows 10 days in advance if tickets aren't selling fast enough for their liking. As though people don't buy tickets the week of the performance. It's funny since myself and 3 other people purchased our tickets less than 3 hours before they cancelled, so it seems like tickets are still selling...

Even when you do get to go, the service SUCKS and if someone takes the seats you purchased, they won't have them move. Tickets are reasonable but food is super overpriced.

*The owner reply to my review states that it was canceled for logistical reasons, not for lack of seat sales. The man who called me to tell me it was canceled stated that they were canceling because "only 21 seats were sold and that wouldn't be fun for the audience or the performers". The "weren't sure why that night wasn't selling as well, but those tickets had been made available for sale exactly one week prior, so people have had time to buy them". We went back and forth about it with the employee repeating multiple times that it was because not enough tickets had sold yet.

How dare you come on...

This was my first visit to Roxy's. My wife was in drama and theater in college in Tulsa so she was excited to experience Roxy's for the first time. I applaud the facility, the sound system, lighting and the service. Also impressed with the subtle delivery by the live orchestra. They delivered just the right undercurrent of sound to complement the onstage activities, without masking it.

We went to see "Into the Woods" musical. Unfortunately we did not like it. My wife commented, "Geez, this is like a junior high school play". It was highly fragmented. Impossible to follow any story line. Jumped around like a kangaroo on a bed of coals. Dialogue was very easy to understand with the sound system, but we could not understand any of the vocals being sung. We left at intermission. But will be back to hopefully catch a better performance and story, since so many praise the Roxy. The upcoming Golden Girls will be our choice to revisit since it should have continuity in...
