Re: “Murfreesboro Little Theatre”
Very high quality shows in an intimate blackbox setting. Ticket prices are the best in the area. Definitely worth your time!
Re: “Boiler Room Theatre”
Saw Rocky Horror Show Opening Weekend and Absolutely Loved it! Cannot wait to get back to see this during the midnight showing! Anyone who has ever loved the movie should definitely go see this show! It's so much more vivid! The live band (though sometimes loud) is definitely an enhancement to the rock feel of this show!
Re: “Z. Alexander Looby Theater”
Great location -- the theater is roomy and the personnel charming. The work presented is new and creative and local and sometimes first rate.
Re: “Nashville Dinner Theatre”
Saw A Scattered, Smothered and Covered Christmas Musical. The story was amazingly funny yet very touching at times. The acting was absolutely great and there were a few members with some good voices (others not so much). The food was okay - pretty good for the price. It is a cozy environment, but not so much that you can't have a private conversation. Overall an enjoyable experience and good value for the price. I'll go back again.
Re: “Nashville Dinner Theatre”
What HORRIBLE experience & what TERRIBLE customer service. First of all, my wife & I live outside of town but I heard their Christmas show - A Scattered Smothered & Covered Christmas starring Joyce DeWitt - advertised on the radio & thought that it might make a perfect surprise Christmas present for my wife in that we could to drive into Nashville, eat at & watch the show over at the dinner theatre on Printers Alley in downtown Nashville, then spend the night in town after the show as we would be getting back very late otherwise. I found a good deal through Groupon and thus purchased my tickets in good faith that they would be honored. None of the tickets that Groupon were selling were for a specific show & they stated that reservations must be made through the theatre. No big deal there so I made reservations for the first available show - which also happened to be be the only show - we we could make. I made the reservation almost 3 weeks in advance and then made accommodations in to stay in Nashville a few days later. Anyway, I received an email just 2 days before the show to ask for "volunteers" to give up their tickets b/c they had somehow "magically" overbooked the show. Since I had reservations to stay overnight in town & this was the only show we could make, I responded letting them know this & that we could not be give up our reservation. However, the very day of the show - just hours before the start of the show really - the people I emailed previously disregarded everything I said & went ahead & canceled my reservations anyway. This was all done without without warning me or even without a telephone call to let me know in person that I was getting bumped. To top it off, all I received notifying me was a generic email stating that they had canceled our reservation & there was nothing I could do. No apology, no no warning, zip! After several unanswered calls to the box office & several more to another contact listed in my surprise email, I was finally able to get a hold of the world's least customer friendly representative who answered the phone & just didn't care. He even told me bold faced lies by trying to push blame on to Groupon for the overbooking even though Groupon sold a dateless ticket & the required reservations were made through their theatre. I could understand if Groupon were at fault & oversold the show but how could they even do that with a dateless general ticket? If it's one thing I can't stand it's being treated like crap & then having someone try to cover it up by lying about it & trying to blame someone else. What a HORRIBLE experience & what a terrible business. I hope they do nothing but fail from here on out & with this kind of service I have no doubt that they will. If you are wise you will avoid this place at all costs so you don't have to go through the same ordeal. BOOOOO!!!!
Re: “Municipal Auditorium”
I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT A PLAY YOU WOULD WANT TO SEE IS WOMAN TO WOMAN. LOCAL LADY FROM CLARKSVILLE, TN AND HER CAST PERFORMED THIS PLAY AT AUSTIN PEAY UNIVERSITY AND IT WAS OFF THE CHAIN. ALL THE CAST COULD SING AND DID A GREAT JOB PERFORMING AND MINISTERING. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WILL DO THE PLAY OVER IN SEPTEMBER AT AUSTIN PEAY AND THEN BRING IT TO NASHVILLE IN NOVEMBER. YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS PLAY. SO LOOK OUT FOR IT
Re: “Zanies”
Zanies is a solid comedy club that books some really good acts. I'm into alt. comics and they book enough of them to keep me satisfied. A night of live comedy with a skilled comedian is the most underrated ticket in town. Anytime I take someone new to comedy to see a good performer, they always thoroughly enjoy themselves. I live near by and go about about once a month.
To racist black guy above, they add 15% gratuity to everyones bill, regardless of race, color or species. They do not advertise this, however if you would simply look at your receipt, you'd see it. Keep this in mind. The wait staff is generally good, and you are there for a comedy show so you should tip some on top of that if they give you good service.
Re: “Municipal Auditorium”
Well, went to see Church Mess is one of if not the best play I'be ever seen! I also saw after the Love is Gone and it was ok. Something similiar to others he cheated. Plays. I think Kelly Price is good singer, but not a good actress and don't think Montel Jordan is good at singing or acting. The content was alright. Church Mess was very funny with a great message...great talented cast that's been around the country as well.
Re: “Zanies”
It's an ok place. However, when you are black, they will charge you a tip on your bill. If you are white, then the tip is optional if there are just 2 of you. I think if there is a table of six or more they will add the tip to your bill. But African American? (your tip will be automatically put on your bill).

Re: John Pinette
My wife and I went to the 8-02-2012 show. We both love his comedy, so we were extremely excited about seeing him live. I'm sad to say, however, we were very disappointed. It was as if he had never done standup before - almost like he had stage fright. He kept starting a story, getting sidetracked, and then never getting back to the original story. There were long pauses between sentences, not for effect, just because he couldn't remember what he was talking about. When he first got on stage, he said that he had been in a surfing accident involving a 14ft wave. So, maybe he was forced to take pain medication. Whatever it was, we were sad to see him in that kind of shape. We literally felt sorry for him - not exactly what you want to feel after seeing a comedian.
