Have seen 3-4 shows here and all productions have been very good. Liked the ones with singing better than the tuna series.
I saw the 70's variety show, and it was great. Really talented performers and a great orchestra in fast paced program, all in a comfortable theater. It was great entertainment from a time period I'm nostalgic about. Sit toward the front of the auditorium, and you'll feel like you're nearly on the stage with the performers.When was the last time you went to a theater that actually had wide chairs with individual armrests, and enough space between rows that you could easily cross your legs? The Badgett Playhouse has them, and it greatly enhances your theater experience.Check the schedule for when you're going to be there. There are multiple shows to pick from, on multiple days. See at least one while you're in town. You'll leave humming a tune with a smile on your face.
Went to the show 10 04 14 we really enjoyed our experience. Great music and songs. A lot of talent there
Back the second year to see Civil War Letters a educational and entertaining performance based upon actual letters written during the Civil War. A must see for historical buffs.
The town is very small in the middle of no where but this show was very well put together with great talent. Parking was the worst part. There were no lights in the back of the building and the parking lines were very dim. We could not tell where to park. Lots of people seemed confused and driving around. You pick up your tickets outside and them walk in the entrance. The ladies bathroom is to the left and the gents is to the right. Directly in front of you is the concessions. The entrances are now on the left and right. There are seats in the middle and to the left of the left aisle and seats to the right of the right aisle. The stage is up two to three feet across the front. The best part of the show was before intermission. The second part was not as good. They also do a sales pitch for missionary work at the end that kind of ruins the show for you. I am glad that some of the money that they get goes for this but I wish they had not ended with this. During intermission you can get concessions but it takes a long time because they was only two people running it. There was a long wait also for the ladies bathroom. They talent was truly amazing and the price you pay is very reasonable for the pleasurable evening.
We totally enjoyed the 50's show at the playhouse. We will definitely go back for some of the other shows. Wonderful, friendly people all over town. The cast did a fantastic job . . . wonderful voices.
Went to see The Big Band Christmas Show December 7, 2014. Last year we saw two other musicals that were also very good. After each show the actors/musicians stand at the exit door, shake your hand, and thank you for coming. Southern Kentucky hospitality at its best. I have never experienced an actor/musician thanking me for attending their show. It makes the event even more special! After the show we walked through Patti's Christmas lighted area which is composed of thousands of Christmas lights and Christmas scenes (some fun ones and some more religious) a nice mixture. If you can't get in the mood for Christmas here than you must be Scrooge! After the 2 p.m. musical play we enjoyed a delicious meal at Patti's with the famous flowerpot bread and strawberry butter. We had reservations for dinner which is a good idea during this time of day and during this season.
We have seen at least three different shows, the last one was "picking & a grinning", a take off from the old Hee-Haw shows. It was delightful and very entertaining. There was a lot of energy and talent in the show. The other shows were "The 60's" and the " Southern Gospel". Both shows were outstanding, as good as any Branson, Mo. shows.
This Branson-style family show is really professional done. NO matter what your taste , you will find a show for you. Located in Grand Rivers, Ky. In the Land- Between- the Lakes area, it has a beautiful setting. I highly recommend this show.
Talented, versatile singers and dancers. Pick the show(s) that are specific to your taste in music and era.
