I have been here several times and enjoy the shows. The show was all singing and the singing was very good. Sadly, we were a group that ended up with the bad meals. The tables around us had meals you could see the heat come from it. Every meal we had was cold, taste less, and should not have been served.
I do recommend this place for the shows.
Cheers!

Our first-time visit to Riverside to see Heartbreak Hotel was wonderful. We opted to see the Wednesday afternoon show and sat in section D. We had good visibility of the stage and band area. The musical was well directed and produced and the performers were talented. It was an extremely enjoyable experience for my wife and I. We plan on coming back. We did not have the meal as we only opted for show only. The performance ran from 130pm to 4pm ish.

Worth every penny! Loved seeing the characters come alive and enjoyed being a part of opening night! Dinner was so delicious and the dishes looked amazing before ever tasting their yumminess. If you can go with a group, I encourage it bc it was a huge treat to be with friends (and dress up vintage fancy, bc that's what we do) and watch such a great performance. Bravo!!

A local gem for the performing arts 🎭. Have seen quite a few shows here. Never disappointed. Most recently saw Jesus Christ Superstar. What a great experience. The venue is top notch, including the meal service. They bring in talent from at least the eastern seaboard as well as tapping into our local pool of truly gifted actors. Can't say enough good things about this facility.

We came here from Maryland for the first time to see 1964, the Tribute. What a fantastic experience.
The facility is well laid out, has ambiance and very friendly staff.
It has plenty of parking and restrooms.
It was great to arrive a bit early and order wine/liquor and appetizers before the show.
I’ve attended a few theater shows in DC where they charge significantly higher prices and the venues are nowhere close to this one in terms of comfort and the ease of getting there.
We’ll definitely return.

Beautiful theatre, set up for dinner show seating. First time there and saw 1964 The Tribute on Sunday, November 17th. Excellent show! Box office staff extremely helpful.
