点评:The Sharon Playhouse is truly a gem in a quintessential New England town. Located just over an hour from Albany, in the very northwest corner of Connecticut, it is easy to get to. When attending a show, get there early, as they have a lovely bar and patio with a beautiful view. Have a drink, relax, and go inside when you are ready. Sometimes, they have a food truck on site, and I highly recommend having dinner on the patio. The theater itself is in a really cool, old barn. While you get that rustic feel, the acoustics are great and the seats are very comfortable. But most important, the quality of the theater is top notch. The professional shows that I saw this summer were some of the best I have seen anywhere. Specifically, I saw "Come From Away," and the cast crushed it. In fact, it was one of the best productions of this awesome musical I have ever seen. Sitting in a small theater like this, I could hear, see, and feel the emotion that the actors were trying to portray. There are no bad seats in the house, whether you like to sit in the front row, a few rows back, or in the back, you will hear, see, and feel that emotion.
Tickets tend not to be too expensive. We paid $35 for our tickets and that was a steal for the quality of theater.
After the show, meet the cast on the patio, have a drink, and let traffic dissipate before heading home. It makes for a great, enjoyable, and relaxed evening.
翻译:莎伦剧院绝对是新英格兰地区一座典型小镇上的瑰宝。它位于康涅狄格州的最西北角,距离奥尔巴尼仅一个多小时的路程,交通十分便利。观看演出时建议早些到达,因为那里有个氛围极佳的酒吧和露台,风景也很迷人。喝杯饮料、放松一下,待心情平复后再进入剧场吧。有时剧院现场还会有餐车服务,我强烈推荐在露台上享用晚餐。剧院本身则设在一座极具特色的古老谷仓内。虽然这里有着质朴古朴的氛围,但声学效果极佳,座椅也十分舒适。而最重要的是,这家剧院的品质堪称一流。今年夏天我观看的几场专业演出,都是我在任何地方见过的最精彩的演出。具体来说,我看了《Come From Away》,演员们的表现堪称完美。事实上,这是我看过的最佳版本的这部优秀音乐剧之一。坐在这样一座小剧院里,我能清晰地听到声音、看清舞台上的每一个细节。感受演员们试图演绎的情感吧。剧院里没有所谓的“差座位”——无论你喜欢坐在前排、中间几排还是后排,都能听到、看到并体会到那种情感。
票价通常也不算贵。我们买的票价仅为35美元,以这样的戏剧品质而言,简直物超所值。
演出结束后,可以在露台上与演员们见面、喝杯酒,等人群散去后再回家。这样的夜晚既愉快又轻松,令人回味无穷。
