Warsaw Federal Incline Theater

Reviewed By douglasahaskell - Cincinnati, United States

If you get a chance to see "Drowsy Chaperone" at the Incline Theater, don't miss it. Very nice theater. Lots of seat room. Convenient parking for $5. Go across the street to Primavista or the Incline Public House for a meal. The "Drowsy Chaperone" is hilarious and nicely staged. Good music and funny gags.

Cincinnati Music Hall

Built in 1878 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1975, Cincinnati’s Music Hall is among the City’s most recognizable buildings. Impressive from the outside for its Victorian-gothic architecture, it’s arguably more remarkable on the inside as the home to the Cincinnati Opera (the nation’s second-oldest opera company), Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (the nation’s sixth-oldest symphony orchestra), May Festival (the longest-running choral festival in the Western hemisphere), and Cincinnati Ballet. Following a lengthy closure for extensive renovations during the 2016-17, Music Hall re-opened in October 2017 and has re-established itself as Cincinnati’s premiere special events and concert venue and an integral part of the vibrant Over-the-Rhine neighborhood in which it is located.

Renovated and revitalized Cincinnati Music Hall energizes performers and patrons alike. Painstaking historical research went into the refurbishing of this iconic treasure home to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Pops and Cincinnati Opera. Originally built in the 19th century, the hall attracts young and old for stellar performances. Windows were restored, paint redone, hallways opened up. A testament to the workmanship of those who poured hundreds of hours to accomplish the task of redoing Music Hall.

Esquire Theatre

Reviewed By jkkoehler - Springfield, United States

My wife and I spent a weekend in Cincinnati and visited the Esquire Theatre. Was very surprised of some of the unique movie selections that were there of not only older but more recent films. We went to see "It Happened One Night" a 1934 romantic comedy. We enjoyed the movie as well as the atmosphere the theater had. Staff was very helpful. We will be visiting again if we have the opportunity in the future.

Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park

Reviewed By JohnTiconderoga

It’s an award-winning theater with three different stages. Seeing the ever-changing Christmas Carol version in December there is a Cincinnati favorite and incredibly well done. I’ve been surprised by the quality of acting there. Lovely playhouse on top of a hill with great views.
