We decided spur of the moment to go see A Christmas Carol. The actors were fantastic and the special effects were so cool. The technology was cutting edge and added greatly to the performance. The acting was superb from the townsfolk, the kids, and the spirits. This activity added a special touch to our visit this time!

We saw The Christmas Carole at this petite theater and LOVED it!! The theater is so clean and pretty and everyone behaves themselves unlike the many theaters I visited in NYC. The production was fantastic, the acoustics are great (I am sorta deaf so that is a plus for me) and the lighting was stunning! We cant wait to go back to see the Janis Joplin musical in the summer. I would say if you are sensitive to cigarette smoke, maybe not get a seat by the alley b/c it reeks of it there. I think people smoke in the alley next to the theater.

We were visiting from Chicago and made a last minute call to go see Something Rotten! Here. No bad seats in the house, very cute theater and the show was phenomenal. We had a great time!

Saw A gentlemans guide to love & murder. It was a totally awesome play. We dont really go to the theater that much and we really didnt know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the acting, singing and storytelling. The theater was small and everyone had a great time. I will definatly go there again the next time that I am in town. There is only so many times that you can hit bourbon street. And this theater was great distraction. Thank you new Orleans.

Le Petit is culturally and architecturally significant. My husband and I attended a performance of A Christmas Carol. It was so delightful and entertaining! Something for all ages!

Brought my students to see a show here. Noises Off! Very professional production (Except one actor that didnt censor the swear words when we were told he would) While cursing doesnt bother me it was jarring when I hadnt prepared my students or the parent chaperones.Fun Show nonetheless. We will hope to return next year.

We went the most fabulous Christmas Carol Scrooge play last night... Fantastic production acting sets and special affects. Except for being a smaller stage and cast than a big stage production it was superbly well done!!!!If you read this 12.21.19 there are tickets, we were told for this weekend available!!The bar next door Pavalon is connected to the theater lobby but go early if you want bar service there, for a Friday before Christmas they were horrible understaffed for pre and intermission bar service.

Great venue with comfortable seats and good sound/lights. Just saw the production of Marque and it was amazing, good choreography and incredible acrobatics. Singing, dancing with live piano. If you ever see the names Lady beast or Vinsantos (wrong spelling?), Take the time and spend the money

Love the intimacy of this wonderful, historical theatre. You forget there are others watching with you & lose yourself in the action on stage.

A wonderful old theatre made even better by the excellent staff. Consummate professionals to a one, special thanks must be directed at Ashley, the General Manager. She ensured that our visit was as smooth as possible, and was very pleasant in person. We will come again next time we are in town. Overall, I would recommend visiting this theatre and catching a show. Experience the culture!

A quite small theatre. Great acting. The only minus is the seats: the rows arent spaced with taller people in mind.

Ive seen two amazing shows here, Louis Armstrong at the Waldorf and A Christmas Carol, and will continue to go to plays here. Maybe 200 seats and a balcony section. Expensive but good bar attached to the theater. Right in the French Quarter.

What a beautiful, cool ,little (petit) gem. In the middle of the French quarter. The last row is closer than you could get in most any theater. If your lucky enough to get chance to go , do it

Very cool little theater, Im sure your impression will vary depending on what you see there. My only request would be to allow seating far earlier than just 15 minutes before show time, the lobby is too small to hold everyone otherwise.

Very, very, nice theater. An intimate venue, for sure. Started going to plays there in the early 1980s at the childrens stage, which I hope is still in operation for this generation.I also went to many plays in the main theater, as a young adult.I miss NOLA so much!

This theater really is a wonder. The tickets are affordable, and no matter where you sit the view is excellent. Truffle popcorn is served in the lobby, and if you need a little dinner before the show, Tableau is right nextdoor.
