The Saloon Theatre — Local services in Tombstone

We went on 10/10/2019. It was ok but mainly because of historical lessons. We had just gotten to town when actor told us this was the best gun fight in Tombstone. We paid our money and sat down for the show but when showtime came we were told that there weren’t enough customers and the show was cancelled. (Show must go on?) In all fairness they offered us either a refund or the next show. We chose to come back but that cut into our time so much that we didn’t get to see the show at the actual OK Corral which is the biggest draw. The three man for four scenes show was ok but more actors would have been much much better. When the actor stood at the door holding pot for tips it was an uncomfortable moment. Bottom line is if you have to choose between show go to the Ok Corral and save this one...

We absolutely loved the Saloon Theater! My brother, his wife, and our 3 kids went. We felt like we were living in history! The short plays are well written, well acted out, and historically accurate. They show how rugged with wild west was, with all the great old timey catch phrases I wish I could remember. It is vivid but not overly gory. The setting is awesome, so authentic and comfortable. All the staff was fun and friendly. They give you sound proof protective wear for your ears if the gunshots bother you. The kids and adults loved it. The tickets also gave us a discount on the Butterfield StageCoach tours, which was also an awesome experience. Tombstone is a hell of a town! And doing these very affordable experiences makes the visit so much richer, bc you learn and immerse in the history...

I attended the last show on Friday afternoon on August 2nd and had a terrific time. Two things especially stood out: First, the actual shootouts were very intense and the historical information given after each shootout was especially interesting (I love history), and, second, I really appreciated all the courtesies the actors extended towards me. They appreciated my interest and seated me front and center, and also allowed me to dress-up like a gunslinger at the end for several photos. A wonderful theater group and a wonderful time----be sure to see them when you visit Tombstone, and, of course, be sure to visit Tombstone. There is a lot more to the story than you think! /s/...
