We got to In The Heights early, picked up drinks from the bar and then ordered food from the cafe. Drinks were priced accordingly for the venue but good pours on whiskey and wine. The food was amazing for pre-made selections. The show was great! We may see it again before the run ends! Well be back this season for sure.

The show was amazing. I cannot wait to come to Cincinnati for another show at The Playhouse after all the exciting renovations coming.I saw the Buddy Holly Story and I recommend that if you are reading this and you havent seen the show GO NOW! Its on tour and would be well worth a day trip if its only in a city nearby.

Went for the Buddy Holly show. The audience was really involved and up on our feat dancing and singing along! Great experience. It truly is a crowded theater, so get there early. If youre a body builder or larger person, you might want to sit next to someone petite !

Wonderful performance with great actors. The venue is so nice, not a bad seat in the house. All the ushers were friendly and helpful as were bartenders. We will definitely go back. This is a Cincinnati Gem!

We attended The Lifespan if a Fact. Very interesting play in that the main characters are an editor, an intern, and an author. The intern is assigned a story to fact check in about a week. As he digs into the details, the author has taken liberty with details. It is a funny, poignant and timely commentary on the news cycle of the day.The Playhouse is an intimate venue where one is almost in the play. The parking is limited so it is wise to purchase with the tickets. I am looking forward to going to several more shows.

My friends took me here for first time tonight to see A Christmas Carol. Was Such a great experience. The Entire audience was full of holiday spirit and The Cast of the show put on an incredible performance. I definately will be coming back.

I have been here several times before. The last time was the play; The Little Shop of Horrors. It was so close to the movie with Rick Moranis it was uncanny. A very good show. I will be taking a date there next Friday night to see 2 Pianos & 4 Hands. I expect it to be very good.Update: My girlfriend and I went to see 2 Pianos and 4 Hands. It was a very good & funny show. It was the 1st time my girlfriend had ever been to the Playhouse or any of this type of show. She enjoyed it very much.The only thing I think I could add to this is that if you get your tickets online, order the parking ticket with them as well. It for me just makes it a little less hassle parking.Enjoy your show!

Performing Arts Venue. Follow Theater Etiquette. Tickets Can Be Purchased Online or In Person. Parking Available. Arrive Early To Get A Good Spot. A Lot of Talent Flows Through Here. The City of Cincinnati is Exploding With Identified and Unidentified Talent. Always has.

Parking could be more convenient it was raining and guests had to walk all around the building to get from parking to the door. Needs better handrails for walking down fairly steep stairs to seats many people at our show were older and seemed to have some difficulty.

The play two trains by Augustine Wilson was very good. But the playhouse in the park needs some upgrading in the auditorium. Those seeds are way too close together to the back of the next person.

Cast was fantastic, we saw Christmas Carol,Scrooge was better than the movie actor. Its in the city, so come prepared for traffic, parking spot hunting and the rest that comes with the crowd. However, my ladies were happy with the cleanliness of their restroom so If you can live with that they will give you a good show

Original staging and a clever light production of the beloved Charles Schultz characters! All the characters played many musical instruments often while moving or dancing at the same time. The cast was terrific and the energy felt like childhood revisited...even though Charlie Brown was full bearded! Great fun and endearing songs especially Snoopys Supper Song! Go out and enjoy this one!

Production value here is impeccable! The facility is beautiful and I’ve never seen a play that I didn’t enjoy. Everyone that works here is pleasant and enthusiastic. I’ve seen about 10 plays over the last 2 years and I’m blown away every time. From “A Christmas Carol” to “In the Heights,” there is something for everyone here.

Throughly enjoyed our evening at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. We saw A Christmas Carol. There is not a bad seat in the house! Our seats were center stage in the top row. It was a great view and the acoustics are so good we had little trouble hearing the dialogue. The acting was excellent. The production lasted two hours but we were so enthralled by the performance it felt like half an hour. We will go back to see other plays.

Review №52

One of the top-rated activities for Cincinnati! If you havent been here before for a play, you honestly havent lived. Tickets are expensive, but the productions are well worth what you pay. With such professionalism, Playhouse in the Park is one of those things you have to do at least once! Many families make it a tradition to see some of their holiday productions. The inside of the building is awesome as well. It really does have this fancy feel to it. Check out what their upcoming productions are and dont think twice about it. Please be aware that the one downfall about this place is that parking can be a bit of an issue. Ive had to park about a 10 to 15 minute walk away. There is a parking garage attached, but I cant speak about how quickly those spots fill up. Just go prepared and plan accordingly.

A beautiful place to see a show in a very scenic part of town. There are two theaters so they are always offering great options. Playhouse offers a variety of shows, from more artistic and lesser-known plays to hit Broadway musicals. They tend to do shows that have not really been played in this area, so its a great place to catch something new. Theres not really a bad seat in the house in either of the thrust theaters. They offer drinks and snacks in their lobby during intermissions. The theater is located on top of a picturesque hill overlooking downtown Cincinnati and Eden Park. The staff there is amazing, literally every person is wonderful. Come early and grab a bite to eat at one of the many fantastic cafes near the theater. They have a parking garage and there is street parking available, but if you park on the street be prepared to walk up a rather large hill. You definitely need to check out a show at Playhouse in the Park while you are in Cincinnati.

In the Heights is an energetic, top taping musical. I loved all the salsa music and great dancing. Cast has strong voices and the storyline and rap that tells it is another Lin-Manuel masterpiece.

I have really enjoyed this season thus far. I have watched three plays with my fiance. We also have already purchased tickets for shows for the rest of the season. The acting had me completely immersed. The space is great! I also like the food and drink options for before the show and during intermission.

Review №66

Surprisingly this was my first play at Playhouse and it did not disappoint. The venue is clean and they have a plethora of some of the yummiest snacks and food items available for before and during the show. The theater itself was also very clean, seats were nice and comfortable enough to sit through a 3 hour play, the ushers were helpful and kind, and the set design was great. Because it is a somewhat smaller theater there isnt a bad seat in the place! The cast members are phenomenal! And parking in their onsite garage was a breeze as we prepaid for parking online and it was fairly quick and easy to get back out at the end of the evening. All in all, a wonderful experience!

Some of the absolute best regional theatre in the country. I have never been disappointed with a production from this company. Contemporary and classic work present in a beautiful facility in Mount Adams. Their school programming and student matinees offer incredible opportunities to area students to see professional theatre. I am so thankful to live close to Cincinnati so I can frequent this company and share in their artistic vision each year.

The Playhouse in the Park is scheduled not just for updating but for demolition and rebuild beginning in 2019. I hope the new design retains the best aspects of the current Marx Theatre (thrust stage, good sound) and the smaller Shelterhouse Theatre (intimacy and flexibility) while allowing audiences a better experience outside the theatre spaces: safer and more convenient access to parking, and maybe a glimpse of what could be a great view from that hilltop during intermission. The shows inside are consistently good. A standout was the ground-breaking 2006 production of Sondheims Company, which demonstrated the Playhouse managements commitment to creating great theater with the best the country has to offer.
