Review from Laura C.

We came here this weekend to see My Fair Lady (which was an excellent musical and you'll love it if you are a fan of the movie. $30 for under 30). The theatre itself was small, but also means that there is seating without obstruction for almost anywhere. Well air conditioned , so bring a sweater.
Another comfort was the high backed chairs for you to lean your head on.
During intermission, you can get more than the usual coffe/tea/wine/ice cream - there is a small cafe, and it was nice to be able to buy a dessert that wasn't impossible to finish in ten minutes. You can also pre-order your snacks.
A small courtyard outside, also was a nice change in scenery. All they need to add are some lights, but maybe it's to keep the bugs away.
Bathrooms were ample, and the ladies line up moved quickly. There is also a smaller bathroom at the back, and upstairs that I don't think a lot of people know about. There you go.

Review from John C.

The rendition of My Fair Lady that we saw last week was absolutely fantastic! Singing, Acting, Dancing, Lighting, Music, Sets: all were spectacular.
The theater itself is gorgeous with all of the wood paneling. Not a huge place but certainly doesn't feel small by any account. I'll disagree with the person that said "bring a sweater." We were in the balcony and were fairly warm for the majority of the production. Certainly not uncomfortable, just warm.
I also appreciated that the seats had high backs. I'm very tall and it was nice to be able to lean my head back into the seat cushion.
i certainly hope to return to the Shaw Festival Theater for a performance in the future.
