点评:The Sharon Playhouse is an old barn playhouse. They have a nice pre show bar area, quint and open before the show. The theatre appears to be an old barn and upon entering, I was a little taken back because the building was quaint, the actual seating was not. It was pretty much old movie theatre type seats but not in keeping with the building's surroundings. I was skeptical because the past few years I have traveled hundreds of miles looking for and attending summer stock. It is the best way to support live professional theater.
It is also a great bargain. Excluding all the inns and hotels we stay in , it is a huge bargain. We can see three really great professional shows for the price of one ticket in Boston!! This was my eleventh summer stock theater in Me, Nh, Ma, Ct, and RI. It just did not have the vibe I was expecting. Sadly I judged a book by its cover!
We had seats on the side because there was no balcony ( I always sit in the balcony for the best view in my opinion). Again not impressed, but I was hopeful the performance would be at least tolerable. Never judge a book by its cover! The performance as amazing(imagine all capitals)! It was Broadway worthy and perhaps even better in a pleasant setting (without all the crime and inebriated lining the streets of NY). We saw 42nd St. I am not a fan of tap dancing musicals and actually hated Crazy for You at the Goodspeed this summer! Was I surprised how much I love, love, loved this show because of the performers! I cannot emphasize enough how incredibly good they were. I do not know why I was surprised much like Goodspeed and Ivoryton, they are very close to New York and convenient for those who perform there to live and work here for a few weeks!!
There were many costume changes which I always find adds to the experience. in addition were able to change the scenery which is also an enhancement.
We will be back! It is so close to Western Mass I do not know why we had never heard of it before. I
翻译:沙伦剧院是一座由旧谷仓改造而成的剧院。他们设有一个很不错的演出前酒吧区,环境古朴宜人,在演出开始前就对公众开放。这座剧院看起来像是一座古老的谷仓,当我走进去时有些惊讶——建筑本身很别致,但内部的座椅却并非如此。那些座椅基本上就是老式电影院的那种样式,与建筑的整体风格并不协调。我原本心存疑虑,因为过去几年里我为了观看夏季戏剧演出,已经驱车数百英里之远。这是支持现场专业戏剧演出的最佳方式。
这也是非常划算的选择。不算我们入住的所有旅店和酒店的费用,这绝对是个超值的选择。只需一张门票的价格,我们就能在波士顿观赏到三场非常精彩的专业演出!!这是我第十一次去新罕布什尔州、马萨诸塞州、康涅狄格州和罗德岛州观看夏季剧场演出。不过,这里的氛围并未达到我的预期。很遗憾,我以貌取“剧”了!我们坐在侧面,因为没有楼厅(在我看来,为了获得最佳观赏效果,应该坐在楼厅里)。这次我依然没什么期待,不过希望演出至少能勉强入耳吧。千万别以貌取人啊!这场演出真是精彩绝伦(全用大写字母来表达吧)!完全配得上百老汇水准,甚至在这样宜人的环境下表现得更出色(没有纽约街头那些犯罪行为和醉汉的干扰)。我们观看的剧目是《42nd Street》。我并不喜欢踢踏舞题材的音乐剧,实际上今年夏天在古德斯皮德剧院观看《Crazy for You》时我简直讨厌极了!不过由于演员们的出色表现,我竟然超级超级喜欢这部剧!他们的表现实在好得没话说。我不明白自己为何会感到惊讶——其实古德斯皮德剧院和艾弗里顿剧院都离纽约很近,对于那些在纽约演戏的人来说,在这里住上几周也相当方便啊!!有多个服装变换环节,我觉得这总能提升观演体验。此外还能更换场景,同样也是一种加分项。
我们一定会再来的!这里离马萨诸塞州西部如此之近,真不明白我们之前怎么从未听说过呢。
