"Come fly a kite!"
Review posted by: Terry Danaher from Portsmouth, VA, USA, May 03, 2008
Who knew that a kite could be the size of a ladybug and fly like one? Or that you can actually fly a kite indoors without a wind machine? This exhibit has everything going for it--loads of colorful... Expand
Who knew that a kite could be the size of a ladybug and fly like one? Or that you can actually fly a kite indoors without a wind machine? This exhibit has everything going for it--loads of colorful kites of all shapes and sizes, kite-making, kite-flying, and fun for everyone. Even Charlie Brown might get his kite off the ground after a visit to Portsmouth! Collapse

"A Hoot"
Review posted by: Bob Leffler from Williasmburg, VA, Jun 26, 2008
From the two fellows just standing around while people filled the theatre to the final bow, A HOOT. Interaction with the audience and light hearted family fun. Just the ticket after a long day.

The two days I attended, the progression of performers seemed upside down. The sound was horrible and I mean horrible. The Coliseum is old, hot, dim with poor seating angles. The concert as a whole could have been much better in the round instead of the far end stage. Ancillary stuff to do would have been appreciated like after parties and other festivities. Parking for one concert event next to the Coliseum was $10.00 and all they sold was food with some minor vendors. Will NEVER make the mistake of staying in and around Hampton again! Next time if I go next time, will stay at VA Beach and commute to the concert. Finally the crowd had little energy and Jill Scott as well as Gladys Knight were an absolute bore; neither should have been the show stoppers. By contrast, KEM, Bonney James, Kenny G and Raheem De Vaughn put on good performances with a lot of energy Collapse

If you want to do something very nice for your Mother, Sister, friend (AND you) – get tickets to Quilters at the Yoder Barn in Newport News, VA. It is an absolutely captivating show – especially Act II. It is so well put together, it provokes every human emotion – your happy, your serious, your crying and don’t know why, and you'll fall in love with the female cast. The singing is professional and they are all believable cast members. This is clean basic theatre at it's best. Not a lot of props to distract you - simply great acting and a wonderful story. I can’t think of a better way to spend the money. You won’t be sorry and your Mother, Sister, or friend….well, they’ll be forever grateful for the memory. Collapse

This moving show, deceptively difficult to pull off, has been given a terrific production by Tidewater Rep at the Yoder Barn. Particularly to be praised is director Rebecca Taylor, who has put together a fine staging of this episodic piece in the quirky, intimate space, managing a through-line connecting the diverse stories, and never letting the material become too self-indulgent. Among the fine performers, Erin McGrann stands out with her wide range of characterizations ranging from gently moving to hilarious. Go see this show! Collapse

It's good to see Maverick Productions over at Foggy Point in Portsmouth! Foggy Point is a great name for a Murder Mystery venue! The food is incredible and the show I saw "Ding Dong, The Witch is Dead", was done with flair, professionalism, and expertise. The show does not have the actors doubling as the wait staff(unlike another Murder Mystery Show I saw at the Double Tree, done by another production company). This show was fully interactive which made it very enjoyable and fun. I loved how the actors weaved their way into the crowd without us knowing before hand. What a neat and fun show! Thank you Maverick! I will be returning! Collapse

Last weekend I had the pleasure to attend a performance of Iron Street's Purlie and all I can say is Wow! The cast was amazing being lead by the powerful voices of Purlie, Luttibelle, Missy, and Gitlow. The costumes and makeup were great as well. I had never heard of this production company before, but now that I have I suggest to everyone to go see Purlie! From what I know it's going this weekend as well. Collapse

I saw Billy Joel on 6/21/08 at Va. Beach amphitheater and was really amazed at his total professionalism. This man hasn't lost a step. His live songs sound exactly like what you hear on the radio. He is a true superstar and seems to get better with age. His band was also excellent. Any how, what a great show. Collapse
