Local talent outshines professionals. Warm, friendly staff and excellent performances. Location is easy to find. The musicals are our favorite. We would rather see performances here than drive into Kansas City.
We went to a concert at the Missouri Theater. It is an old theater that has been renovated with the intent of keeping the old style and beautiful architecture. They did a great job. I believe the seating is a maximum of about 1200. We had seats in the back on the main floor. We had no problem seeing or hearing the concert. We were also pleasantly surprised to see that they actually left good leg room. A native of St. Joseph sat by me and told me about the fire and renovation, as well as the destruction of a similar theater across the street to make a parking lot. If you have the opportunity to attend an event at this theater, take it! You cannot choose a bad seat and it is beautiful.
So beautiful it takes your breath away. One of the city's greatest treasures! Very colorful. Great seating.
Most recently my friend and I went to see their production of "Our Town." "Our Town" I think has been done by everyone and probably read by everyone (I read it the first time in 6th grade). I thought Missouri Theatre did an excellent job and an age-old production. The actors did an out-standing job and the director did well at matching up character to actor. I can't wait for next year's season.
Wow this place is beautiful. From what I understand this building has house entertainment for decades from movies to plays to local talent. The oustide of the building is just as beautiful. This little city has many masterpieces of beautiful building and old mansions.
Wonderful production of A Christmas Story. The theater is beautiful. Great entertainment for all ages.
This theater is an awesomely restored example of a turn of the century room, original egyptian style decor inside..There was a fire in one of the attached shops and the theater was recently cleaned and restored back to it's original design..The acoustics in this room are magnificent.. Not a bad seat..
I took my family here to see Hairspray; I did not see many reviews on the theatre but decided to go anyway. I was not disappointed, the tickets were cheap and the performance was good. The theater itself had a very interesting layout and a real historic feel which I enjoyed. I would bring my family back to see another performance here.
There is not one thing that I dislike about the Missouri Theater. I love that they have restored the theater and not tried to remodeled it. Talent is superb and as good as any professional actor/artist that can be found on any stage.
It is a small dinner theatre and the actors involve audience members throughout the play. Parking is close and easy.
