We have seen maybe a dozen or so shows at the Hale Theater. I have never seen a bad one, or even one that I regret paying for. In fact, many of the shows we have seen we went to on a whim, and were underwhelmed by the description of the story and didn't expect much, but were pleasantly surprised. My favorite was to Kill a Mockingbird, my wife's favorite was Bye Bye Birdie. Lots of variety here, awesome room, very intimate. High caliber talent. Actually, I remember not liking "Harvey". but my wife did like it. Other than that, I always leave with a smile. I didn't grow up seeing a lot of theater, and as I got older I was mostly interested in seeing "the classics". After a few years coming here we took the plunge and got season tickets to Gammage, which we also enjoyed. We have also gone to lots of other local theaters to see plays. We still do, but I think Hale is our favorite. Sure, you get a bigger show at Gammage, but Hale is great, expecially for the price, and you are so much closer to the action.
