      As usual - the entertainment was great and the food was good. My only complaint - and I complained about this when I went to the Tina Turner review - is that they put too many people at a table. We were 10 people sitting so tight next to each other when the table should have only had 8 sitting at it. The worst part is - they had many empty tables and could have spread people out. This is the second time this has happened. I would think with the amount of business you bring to the Playhouse that they would comfortably accommodate you and your guests. This will probably be the last time I take a trip to the Playhouse because of the seating.

      Hi Donna, Glad you enjoyed the entertainment. We have addressed the table seating with the playhouse and hope they will change for the future. Thank you for letting us know.

      I enjoyed the show but did not enjoy crowded into the table when there were empty tables. There was no reason to have 10 at a table. Eight us enough.

      A wonderful Radio City Music Hall experience, it has been over 15 years, since my last experience, this trip with Faith and GSG, was filled with HOLIDAY MAGIC...may 2024 be kind to us...terri...Teresa Finn

      We have been on numerous trips with Faith and they are always adventurous and well planned. This year started with the Kentucky Derby, Land and Cruise thru Alaska and the Mircle of Christmas in Lancaster Pa was a great way to wrap of the year. Can't wait for new adventures.
