Got to watch a great performance of A Christmas Carol during their 30th year performing the play. Excellent cast. All around great evening thanks to First Financial Bank.
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.
Wonderful experience! I have been to the Christmas Carol performance in Houston Texas many times and this was my first experience in Cincinatti.. Sat close to rhe stage and have never been so close to the actors.A new auditoeium is being built to house furure plays in 2023.
We have had a 5 show subscription for the past couple of years. Every show weve seen has been excellent. Not a bad seat in the house. We love exposing our kids to live theater. So far our favorite has been Little Shop of Horrors.
Such a quaint atmosphere, not a bad seat in the house! Always a great selection of shows to choose from throughout the seasons.
Expectacular the theme brings the process of life sadness, happiness, family, community, perfect performance thanks.
Seen Christmas at Pemberly. This place is a Gem. Bar service was very friendly. Although I have been Married 10 years. This would be a great first date!
Saw the Million Dollar Quartet . Not a bad seat in the house. Excellent venue and show.Pictures are from the far back row...
Fully vaccinated and booster wearing a mask is horrible cannot breath not a good experience left at intermission
Its always an amazing experience.
Construction has started on the new theater.For the 2022 season 3 or 4 plays will be in the Marx and the rest will be around the area.
Loved showing up this afternoon to usher CHRISTMAS CAROL Everyone was very caring and friendly 🥰 Loved the play and the performances 🥰
Very comprehensive checking at entrance for COVID-19 vaccination proof. The performance was great and all facilities ultra clean.
Very good experience. The West End in the Marx Theatre is good. Protocols followed, very efficient entry to Playhouse. Good to be back here.
Wonderful Playhouse with interesting to excellent plays. Its6 a treasure.
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 to see Little Shop of Horrors and it was GREAT. Wonderful production. Impressive facility and extremely friendly staff.
My 13 year old daughter read A Christmas carol in school and wanted to see the play. She really enjoyed it!
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!
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!
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.
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!
Attended Christmas Carol. Enjoyed the play. Was pleased with the facilities approach to handling COVID.
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.
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
Fantastic actors, great seats, unforgettable experience. My family has been going here for years, and I couldnt wait to introduce my son to the theater. He loved his first show Christmas Carol and now is in drama and were going to sign him up for classes with this fantastic theater full of talent.
It’s a shame. Would love to support and attend, however the need for mask is not protecting anyone accept those that have chosen to to receive the vaccination. There choice.
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.
Went to see a Christmas Carol. They have this play every year and Ive been going since I was about six (wow almost 20 years!) It was wonderful as always. The cast is great and so talented. Definately recommend.
Another good production of a 70 minute play
A wonderful evening! Their Marx Theater is cozy & personable and brings you close to the stage and the performers. Great acting! The theater was comfortable and easy to maneuver. Long lines at the bar, but short to no lines for the restroom. A snack and coffee bar was available as well.
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.
My wife and I both enjoy attending plays here. Weve never had a bad seat. Our favorite show is A Christmas Carol and it has become a tradition for us. This years performance was probably the best we have attended.
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.
Great place overall. Their shows are captivating and enjoyable!
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.
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.
Bought a zoom who dunnit it show. Received receipt and charged $20. Was told I receive my zoom email near show time. Never received email.... I called and promptly given a replacement time. This was a Valentines gift. My wife loved the show, who dunnit it zoom virtual theater....
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!
Love going to the playhouse. It is a special treat. We saw Treasure island and it was terrific. The acting was very good and well cast. Stage was creative and well suit to the play. There was a lot of activity on the stage through the play...action packed! The playhouse is a womy venue and Cincinnati is so lucky to have such a great entertainment place.
Love the staff and the plays! We came in late and I had a hungry child with less than 10 minutes to eat something, the staff at the snack bar set me up with a baggie we could put cheese cubes in so she could eat something and enjoy the play at the same time ! The bartenders are always quick and friendly as well. If you havent seen A Christmas Carol, i highly recommend you give it a shot. I have gone to see this play year after year, it never gets old!
We went and saw Misery and loved it. The staff was very friendly and we had not had dinner prior but I didnt want a lot of food and I asked for a suggestion and that ended up being a bowl of the broccoli soup which was really reasonably priced and very good. I also wasnt able to finish it and they were nice enough to keep it for me until after the performance so I could take the rest home. The seating there was very comfortable. Parking wasnt a issue because we had paid for it prior with our tickets which I highly suggest or you could end up walking quite a bit. We definitely will go back to see something new again. Overall definately worth checking it out and having a fun night out there.
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.
This place is awesome! Im pretty sure that the show you see well have a lot to do with your experience. I saw August Wilsons Jitney and instantly became a fan of this Playhouse. The coffee is downright crappy, but I didnt come for the coffee. Ill definitely be back as soon as I find something that I want to see.
Our first performance ever, seen A Christmas carol which is my favorite Christmas story and the cast and crew nailed it! I would recommend it highly to anyone and everyone. Job well done, thank you
Its a nice playhouse with good theatres that dont really have a bad seat among them. Unfortunately, the quality of the plays they put on is a far cry from what Im used to and prefer. Ive been to 4 or 5 over the years and have yet to see one that stood out in any way, took on anything hard hitting or controversial or experimental. Its not that the acting is bad; its the script choices that are lackluster. Its like they specialize in theater for people that dont actually like theater. Ill be sticking with the savvy troupes like Ensemble and Know from now on.
1st time visit to this venue. I recommend parking in the garage. Seating needs more disclosure as I took my elderly mother. Very steep with a lot of stairs. I recommend purchasing the handicapped spaces.Staging is excellent, elevator available, good selection of drinks for young and old. Adjacent to plenty of decent restaurants and highway. Plenty of variety in shoes for the location. Definitely, recommend for locals and anyone visiting for a stay in Cincinnati.
Such a nice night out! The cast and crew did such a good job. The play was done so well. The atmosphere is so nice and warm. Would definitely recommend for something to do in the Cincinnati area for a night out.
Saw Treasure Island with my 8 year old. So amazing! Interactive and held his attention!
Every seat us a perfect view. Great acoustics
We went and seen Misery and loved it!!! We had good seats at MXMS23SEPM. The revolving set was incredible! Staff were all very pleasant. We especially enjoyed the Q&A with the director/cast afterwards. I wish you could do more Q&As. Parking was good for $10. We love the Playhouse in the Park. We come about 3 times a year, but are trying to visit more often.
Ive been going to the Playhouse and Shelterhouse for 40 years! I love it. Tickets are reasonable, Seats are comfortable, good it good, parking works well, but everyone else loves it too so plan ahead.
One of our favorites shows is the Christmas Carol. The actors and staff do a great job. A bit pricy in my opinion, but there are no bad seats here. We really enjoyed the show today. I also like to pre-purchase parking in the garage. Parking is only $10 this way and you dont have to walk far to get inside. You can park on the street for free, but you may have a long walk and a significant climb up a hill if it is a popular show (most are).
Although on site parking muat bemade in advance i was lucky enough to find a spot to park. I have missed seeing plays at Playhouse in the Park but this has prompted me to return. The experience was fun, exciting and professional. I look forward to enjoying the diverse range of plays at the Playhouse!
We love the theater and we love the shows, but in a city with such a great craft beer scene the selection here is very sad. I would rate it 5 stars if they started offering more. I love supporting the arts but I would love to spend my money on supporting our citys beer as well.
Always spectacular. Talented actors, excellent theater, wonderful staff.
Still one of the premier venues in the city. Not just with stage and set design, but also with the talent that is drawn. The staff is curtious and helpful. Parking in Mt. Adams can be difficult and the quality of the restaurants in the area has been dwindling in last few years. But on the whole, highly recommended.
Very fun, very nice atmosphere!! Great musical!!
Great venue except for one thing...parking is the worst. Especially if there are played in both theaters. Quick there was tonight. There is barely enough parking if one of the theaters is open. But the shows are always great, the service is good and the venue is great. Still...but not a Five Star rating
So you want people to bring in their Vaccination card plus where a facemask the whole time? 🤔🤔🤔makes so sense to me hope you clowns lose alot of business this year
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.
Actors, actresses, and the shows are great here. The theatre has good acoustics; its not too difficult to here the show from back rows. Seats arent that comfortable, but there is usually an intermission for stretching your legs. However, I am not fond of the parking set up at all. Its a long walk up the hill if you cant find a parking spot on top. I suggest getting here early for parking, especially if you dont know the place well.
After living in the Cincinnati area for more than 20 years we finally took in a show at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park. It was outstanding - a small, more intimate venue really without a bad seat in the house. I would strongly suggest you purchase a parking ticket as the off street parking near the theater is very limited and quite a hike.
We are frequent flyers at the Chart House. Its in a great spot for dinner after the theater. Great view of the river and the menu changes enough to keep it from ever getting stale.
My wife and I have been season subscribers for several years now. It’s great to look forward to each show, have a date night and a chance to escape Cincinnati winters.We have really enjoyed all of the plays.
Excellent production. The wine and appetizers prior to the performance for donors is a lovely touch. Accoustics are good, handicapped seating is comfortable and easily accessible.
Great plays, great place 😊
I was considering getting tickets for A Christmas Carol for myself and my wife as part of a Christmas gift to her. After seeing the outrageous ticket prices I immediately decided against it. Are we getting a full seven course gourmet meal and limo service with those prices or what !?!?!? $ 125 a seat and up ?!?! I can appreciate supporting the arts but I wasnt expecting to support them all and all at once. No show is that good or worth that much for a ticket, Im sorry. :-(
The Buddy Holly Story was outstanding! The performers were extremely talented and the show was so well done! Will be singing the songs for days!
The playhouse is always a great place to go very professional actors, we have tickets to the Mark center and weve had them that a shelter house both are very intimate theaters. Never a bad seat in the marxs.
EXCELLENT!! Every seat is a GREAT seat!. Its a GUARANTEED!! Fun time!. I LOVE how it is set up on the hill, what a LOVELY view of the city of Cicinnatti!. ESPECIALLY at night with all of the lights!!. Its one of my FAVORITE places to go!. AMAZING talented actors & actresses!!. Youre up CLOSE & PERSONAL with the show!! . Its simply PERFECT!!!
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.
Intimate setting, comfortable seating. You really feel as though you are a part of the production. Great acting and staging of Alias, Grace. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.
We have attended several musicals and plays at the Cincinnati Playhouse and have enjoyed all. The Christmas Carol has been the best of all and we look forward to seeing again next year. Friendly staff and great talent.
Absolutely love watching performances here. There are no bad seats and the facility is beautiful. I hope to see many more plays in the future. Highly recommended.
Always enjoyable. Parking is handy, good concession stand. A great variety of plays offered. One downside, always popular so usually packed. When they build or expand the current one, hopefully this will improve.
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.
The show was amazing! We ate at the little place there and it was pretty good too. Coming in is a little confusing. Seats were comfortable. Staff was helpful.
I took my daughter to see Treasure Island and everything was great. We sat all the way in the back and even those were great seats. Performance was top notch and the snacks and drinks are reasonably priced.
I have been to the Playhouse multiple times over the last 10 years. My first experience was Always the Patsy Cline story and we were hooked. My husband didnt really want to go, but after much encouragement, he did go and loved it. I have seen Christmas Carol 2 times and look forward to going back. We have been in both theaters and thouroughly have enjoyed everything we have gone to see. Its an excellent value for a nice evening out whether you are out for date night with your honey or having a girls evening out. One if Cincinnatis jewels!
The reconfigured Shelter house is fabulous! The seating is much more comfortable and the entire atmosphere makes for an intimate theater experience. And the quality of the performances is incredible!
Play was really well done and I enjoyed every minute of it(a Christmas Carol) wish that they had more snack options at the snack bar though, i had my heart set on just regular peanuts and they did not have them
The set and costume were very cool. The cast was very talented and entertaining. The actor who played Scrooge was outstanding. It was a great day out with the students.
Playhouse is a lot fun. Not all the the shows are good. Only a couple a of awful shows in 10 years of going to playhouse. Most of the plays are okay and a few are excellent. Recommend looking at play reviews before attending.
Beautiful theater in the Mt. Adams neighborhood in Cincinnati. There is a coat check for the colder months. Come early and have a drink at the bar or get some light food/coffee at the cafe. Youre allowed to take food and drink purchased at the theater into the theaters as well.
Very nice theater in a cool location. The productions Ive seen have been very well done and I will most certainly be going back for more. Parking can be a bit bothersome if you havent prepaid for a spot in the garage, so I recommend a taxi or Uber to get to and from if you can.
The first time I have ever left a play at intermission. I felt sorry for the cast as they were great but there was no plot, rhyme or reason to Charlie Brown. Very disappointing end to the season.
Marx series ticket holder for over 20 years. Great entertainment at a great venue.
The theaters are beautiful and comfortable. The shows are always exceptional and well performed. Staff is very pleasant. Thoroughly enjoy every visit.
Dont care for the fact that you have to show your vacs card, your drivers license and sit in a half empty show with your mask on.
We just went to see the play, Misery. It was awesome! I love the theatre. Anywhere you sit, you get a perfect view of the stage. It is nice and intimate.
My wife and I love taking in a play here ! The stage and seating is so great there really is not a bad seat in the house ! It could use more seating out In the lounge.
Its a great theater. No bad seats. If you dont have garage parking get there a little early and park frre on the street. Then enjoy some drinks at the bar.
Fabulous professional local theater. Not a bad seat in the house.
Having performed here, I know all about this place. They really know how to treat their customers. Its always made sure that guests are treated amazingly. Overall, a great place for the audience and the performers!
The gold standard for A Christmas Carol. Fantastic artists, unbelievable sets, stupendous sound, in a wonderful venue. We loved the whole experience.
The Christmas Carol is always fantastic! We love the character, Scrooge! He is so full of energy and always a joy to watch.
Went to see In The Heights with my mom and it was EXCELLENT! The cast was passionate, funny and pleasing to the ears. Definitely a must see at Cincy Playhouse.
The performance of Buddy Holly was fantastic with high energy. And the cafe food was delicious. I loved the Waldorf chicken salad.
Always a great evening of entertainment. Professional, seasoned actors. Presenting a great array of shows. Some I dont like, most are beyond fantastic.
The location is beautiful. We saw wonderful play. The seats are very comfortable. The lobby is incredible. We will return soon.
We have made going to see The Christmas Carol every year a family tradition. The actors are great and we have not had a bad seat yet. I am not sure there is one.
How is it possible that Id never been here before! Fantastic venue. I cant wait to go back. Drinks and food were reasonable. Parking is a little tricky but not bad.
Lovely intimate venue. Not a bad seat in the house. Cocktails served with generous pours. Searing and serving of sandwiches and salads before the show.
Outstanding venue with top notch performances.
Caved to the democrats. Nearly 2 years and NOW you want a test or the jab. Good luck breaking even.
What an incredible experience. Once on this Island was EVERYTHING. The cast was flawless, moving, dripping with talent. I laughed and cried and everything in between. THANK YOU!
Enjoy the play, great accomadations
The annual Christmas Carol performance and it was great. We have seen this before maybe 10 years ago. Glad we decide to come back again.
Wonderful show, great people!
Great play great venue always a good time
For an intimate theater experience this is the place. Sound and production values are superb. Not snooty or cliched like the Downtown theaters and productions. Great fun with friendly staff.
Great evening out with my wife. The Play was great. Outstanding individual performances. The play connects the dots quickly. Worth seeing.
One of the best plays weve seen there! Great energetic fun. Not a bad seat in the house
I saw The Christmas Story with Scrooge and Tiny Tim. The show was absolutely amazing! I stayed for the TalkBack and was delighted to hear from the actors and actresses.
Great plays! Incredible sets.
Went to see Cincinnati Kings, a story story of Kings Records... As a child, King records was our playground...if only we knew, we could have kept those old 33s that we throw around as disc... Very educational show...
It was nice the only reason not 5 stars is because of parking.The play was great and entertaining, definitely makes you reflect!
I love Playhouse and there are no bad seats. If you havent been to Playhouse in the Park you are really missing something special.
Always a wonderful time when I attend performances there ... beautiful theater, friendly staff and nice selections of coffee, wines and snacks ... they also provide a limited choice in meals
Went with my family to see a Christmas Carol. It was a great play. Courteous workers. Have a decent selection of snacks & beverages.
Incredible location, fantastic seasons, and a world-class artistic crew. This is one of the best places in the region for theater. Love taking the family!
A Christmas Carol was awesome the actors great the only reason for 4 stars is because the ushers kept talking and kicked my seat 3 times .
Fantastic talent. Outside of shows at the Aronoff Center, this is the most professional theater in Cincinnati. The Cincinnati Shakespeare Company would be a close #3.
Theatre in Cincinnati is AMAZING and Playhouse adds to the plentiful venues, offering professional theatre in an intimate setting on the main stage and even cozier in the historic stone enclave of the Shelterhouse. Tell me a story...
Had a wonderful time in this beautiful venue. The play was wonderful and the Playhouse is situated in a lovely park with a great view.
Me&my girlfriend Heidi&my friend Ken&his wife&her brother&their friend. We all went there to see a Christmas Carol. It was very very 👍 GOOD!
Very nice. Quality show. Expensive but you get what you pay for. Not really a bad seat in the house. Unique building, stage, and productions.
A Christmas Carol was delightful. Actor that portrays Scrooge was humorous and animated. Perfect for the role. I would recommend seeing.
Definitely a leader of regional theatre, new works, and contemporary milestones. Always worth checking out a show at Playhouse!
The Playhouse in the Park brings great shows to Cincinnati for not crazy prices. Great facilities that keep the audience and engaged but not to close to the actors.
Love this place. The plays are quality. The Staff is awesome. Parking is always an issue but the renovations will address that.
Great place to see plays. Havent had a bad seat yet. My only complaint is that parking is a nightmare if you dont pay to park.
Saw the satire The Thanksgiving Play. I have not laughed that hard in a long time. We were in the last row, G and still felt very close to the production. Pointed out how political correctness is almost impossible.
Have been a subscriber for 20 years & rarely disappointed in a play. Wonderful variety & talent. Plus, ensures 5 dates a year & we always enjoy!
Have been subscription members for years now. Love supporting small community theater and always have a fantastic time doing so!
Nice productions in a nice set of theaters, but ticket prices rival the coasts and are higher than far richer theatre markets like Chicago and MPLS.
Great venue!! Very up close and personal theater!! Very quality acting and production!! Located at scenic hilltop location in mt Adams.
Rooted: great set and acting. Script was silly and predictable.
It was a sweet show. Loved Miss Bennet, Christmas at Pemberly! It is very cool in theater, so dress accordingly.
A wonderful experience for families, this is an activity I would definitely recommend. Go see A Christmas Carol there; the company does an exceptional job!
The setting is intimate, the performers draw you in, and I feel like they are speaking right to me. The atmosphere is always positive
We saw Once On This Island today. It was a wonderful production! Theres not a bad seat in the house.
Great theater, easy parking! Wonderful stage and actors, definitely a must for locals and out of towners!
Always enjoy going to plays. Seats too far to left or right can be odd watching play at times. But that is the same at any venue like this.
Wonderful place! A lovely venue with first rate Entertainment. Everyone must visit this cozy feeling bit of our city!
The venue itself is fabulous. I love the smaller theaters and the quality of shows they bring on is amazing!
Cozy theatre with off-off Broadway shows. Parking is good but the lane to the parking lot is often backed up because the drop-off site blocks the lane!
Love this place. Not a bad seat in the house. Highly recommend for those interested in the arts. There is a show for everyone here.
Always a nice place to enjoy a play. Drinks and small food items in the comfortable lobby. I highly recommend buying a parking pass though.
Incredible performances from the entire ensemble. Impressive talent. What a great night of entertainment @ Million Dollar Quartet. Thank you!
Just a fantastic repertoire theater. I cant say enough good things about PitP. Ive been coming back since 1989. Its become a home away from home.
Always worth the money. Not a bad seat in the house. Just the right size . easy to return to seat. Love this place
Saw the Christmas Carol tonight. What a jem this place is in Cincinnati. Cast was amazing! First class venue.
We have visited to watch a few plays. The whole experience each time is great. Looking forward to ther next one
Tha atomosphere is wonderful at the Cincinnati Playhouse and what ever you make it to be. I chose to enjoy the moment and I thoroughly did enjoy the experience at Cincinnati Playhose!
Its like the movies but with plays. Several of them! Food for the consesion stand is decent and bar is great. Highly recommend!
Misery is everything you could ever hope for in a play! The actors, the story, the stage which is very complex, and music to build the tension. Dont forget to look up to see the trees over the house in the storm! This is a true winner!
Beautiful, comfortable place to see great shows in an intimate setting. Spring for the parking when its cold (or wet, or you are in high heels).
Saw Americus and it was amazing. Thought provoking and very entertaining. Great cast, I highly recommend it.
Wonderful production of A Christmas Carol. In-the-round theatre make you feel part of all thats going on!
Great performance! The facility could be more handicap/elderly friendly with some ramps and not so many stairs.
Million Dollar Quartet was fun! Always love the coziness of this theater. Marx theater has no bad views!
Love this theater and its setup. Parking is a bit more difficult, but its in Mt. Adams... Parking is and ALWAYS has been an issue in this area.
Everything I have seen there is excellent! The theater is very small and there is not a bad seat in the house.
I had wanted to see this for several years but I was actually disappointed in the production. We had good seats but were still unable to understand much of the dialogue.
Need better audio. I gave up my season tickets because I could not hear using their FM system and my hearing aids. I miss good live theather.
I love the Arts and Iove the Playhouse in the Park. I enjoyed the play Once On This Island. It was excellent.
Playhouse in the Park is truly a Cincinnati treasure. The experience of live performances in a unique atmosphere is a exciting!
Always an extraordinary theatre experience in the two intimate theaters. There are no bad seats, and it is exceptional regional theatre.
We enjoyed the performance very much. The facility is great, but seats are a little vlose, my legs were cramped.
Language was alittle rough for me. Most of it was good, amazing what guick on your feet thinkers they are! On the whole very good!!!
Excellent play. So glad to be back!
Great opportunity for the children. Staff was very friendly and their Director was fabulous! We loved it!!
Top quality theater, consistently. Subscriptions are pricey but they offer a payment plan for season ticket holders.
The building is in need of service, really should always have a cleaning and maintenance staff, roof needs repair, leaks all over the place, the show however, Misery was great, the plays are always interesting
The million dollar quartet was an amazing show with talented actors and musicians, great humor and truly a joy of a play.
A Christmas Carol is a must see for anyone interested in the highest levels of production. On a par with any metropolitan theater in the country.
Just awesome all the way around. From the venue to the service staff and the terrific year round productions
I have been ushering here for three years. Easy volunteer job with the great benefit of watching great theatre for free!
Saw Dickens A Christmas Carol and it was fabulous! Marvelous cast-especially Scrooge!
I see The Christmas Carol every year with my family and its always a great time.Edit: unless the year is 2020
Great theater acoustics, but the seats are far less than comfy for a shorter person.
Every show weve caught here has been phenomenal. A unique set up, great food, awesome staff.
Play was great. It was a sensory play for special needs kids. They were awesome!
I LOVE our regional theater, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park! We have been season subscribers for years!
Nice, Clean, Friendly Staff, Not a fan of allowing cups in the theater especially with ice, but I love the place

2022-03-18As good as theater can possibly get, honestly. Superb production design, great cast and actors; great directors, etc...The production of Christmas Carol is stupendous. Captures the spirit of Charles Dickens world beautifully.The building is awesome too, and the seating so comfortable. Highly highly recommended.

2022-04-02Did not give me the option to give zero stars. Let me just start by saying I hope this doesnt reflect on the actors because Steel Magnolias was amazing. With that being said I surprised my best friend spent $205 for our tickets when we arrived there I asked at the box office if I could upgrade because my friend had never been there so I paid an additional $107 to get front row. Because of their mask policy although both of us brought our vaccination cards even though it is not state-mandated and the masks that people were wearing and the ones that they provided have been proven to not even be effective with that being said my friend fell down the stairs because her mask fogged up her glasses and they dont have a handrail on both sides which is bewildering to me because 75% of the patrons are elderly. At intermission which is only 20 minutes at full capacity of about 600 people it is completely impossible to use the restroom and get a snack and of course the snacks are separate from where the cold sodas are so you have to wait in three different lines, obviously my friend who was still injured did not leave her seat I was trying to get us some water and a snack and use the restroom myself it is just not enough time and once I returned apparently I was 20 seconds too late and was told I could not re-enter after spending over $300. A few seconds later manager at the door let me go back in once the show is over I helped my friend up and a rude Usher told her to put on her mask and my friend refused she said she was already injured and I was trying to help her up the stairs she just wanted to be able to see this time and the Usher responded WOW. All I could think is wow to this place. I dont know how this place is OSHA approved. I took my friend home the show itself and actors were amazing but we will see tomorrow if I need to take her to the hospital

2022-03-17Rooted was an interesting play, delving into the complex relationships between sisters, among sisters and the internet, and between sisters and the world at large. The theatre was a perfect venue for this production.

2019-02-07We 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.
