This is professional theater, very well done. the cast is a mix of Equity performers, some from NY and VERY talented locals. I can not stand the movie Paint Your Wagon, but the play was delightful! The meal before hand was good and the singing waiters and waitresses very friendly. The pre-show was also good.
pre dinner and a show!. just a great night out... good food and drinks great service and an highly amusing show....
Consider where these folks are and how much they probably pay their talent, the actors and singers were fantastic. We saw Paint your wagon for $32/ each. It was great. It started with a pre-show in the lobby and then the actors seated us. It started on time and the singing was a pleasant surprise. They were really, really good. We did just the show but a dinner and show combo was offered.
we went to see Christmas in the hole on Sunday night. What a fabulous experience. They 3 stars interacted with the audience at this dinner and show. The food was out of this world. The rib eye steak was huge. The salmon was moist and the sauce was great. Our daughter was invited to be part of the play. If you are in Jackson Hole don't miss the playhouse!
My husband I chose this attraction thinking it would be a fun, different, way to spend an evening. It was definitely different, and mildly amusing, but not as much fun as I had hoped.The people were very friendly and helpful, both when we stopped in to purchase our tickets and the evening of the show. The food was ok, nothing to jump up and down about. If we had it to do again, I would recommend skipping dinner and just going to the show. We both chose the ribeye, which was served with mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. The potatoes and salad were the highlight. The veggies were an overcooked combo of chopped up red peppers and onions with a couple slices of squash mixed in. The servers occasionally broke out into song and did a nice job of engaging the guests. That was definitely a highlight over the food. (Although both singers were a bit flat, so not as good as it could have been.)One thing that surprised me was their "suggested gratuity" of $9/person. We paid $60 each for the dinner and show combo. I heard them tell someone the show alone was $32. That means the meal was $18, thus the recommended tip was 50%. That's ridiculous! We don't typically tip on show tickets, so that greediness is appalling. Bottom line is that we spent a total of $71 each for a marginal dinner and show.The show was mildly entertaining, although the singers were mostly flat then as well. (Maybe the music is just written that way, I found it disappointing either way.) I was disappointed in where they seated us for the musical. The theater had only 4 rows (out of at least 15-20 total) with people in them, yet they put us in the middle of a side aisle rather than in the center where we could have seen the entire stage. As I said, very disappointing.My advice? Skip the meal and go have pizza somewhere. If you still choose to go to the show, make sure to request seats in the center. Don't settle for whatever they give you.
Spouse and I recently enjoyed a performance of "Paint Your Wagon." The venue, at age 99, is showing its age and welcomes donations to help restore it. That said, the talent and enthusiastic performances of the cast overshadowed the location. There was not a weak voice in the ensemble, the youngest performer of which was ~ 17. Meeting the cast after the performance was an unexpected plus.
I was awed by the beautiful reception area. The antiques and beautiful Christmas decorations instantly filled me with Christmas spirit. The dinner was excellent. Lots of food. The cast and staff were so much fun. They were all very talented. This is definitely a great venue. We went as a family and all of us enjoyed every aspect. A must do in jackson hole
Saw " Paint Your Wagon" at the Playhouse, it was very good. Unique old playhouse with a lot of history. Very enjoyable.
Enjoyed the Dinner and the show. Didn't enjoy my seat in the theater, the springs were bad but the show kept me entertained. There were young children there that night and I wouldn't recommend it for them. They were bored and parents ended up leaving early. Next time we take a trip this way we will take in another Dinner & Show.
A no holds barred musical theatre experience! The cast meet and greet you, throw themselves into Paint Your Wagon with gusto and really do entertain! It is certainly not the West End or Broadway but definitely worth a night out in Jackson. We were warned not to have supper there, so just took in the show, but we really enjoyed it.
