wagon wheel theatre

A group of us from the local campground has been coming here for a few years. The box office has been great to work with, often allowing us to add to our party after the initial block was filled. Every seat is great although as others have mentioned maybe a little crowded for patrons of larger size or length. You're never more than 6 or 7 rows from the stage. If you have a small child in your group, they have "booster" chairs that sit on stop the regular theater seat so the children will have a good view too.The actors are great about turning their bodies around so you typically aren't seeing their backside for more than a moment or two-quite a feat for a round stage! The talent putting on the show is always great. We've particularly enjoyed the innovative way they managed to have Peter Pan and Mary Poppins fly. The live band really adds to the atmosphere and they're always spot on with the timing of the music, especially when you consider they're playing under the stage. Parking can be a little tight behind the theater but we usually park at the hotel next door. When the bathroom is crowded at intermission I typically walk outside and down a few stairs leading to the hotel. There is a small concession stand. At the play's finish, the actors line up in the lobby and you're encouraged to mingle with them. They are so personable.

I love going to the Wagon Wheel. However, the seating is a little cramped. They need to open it up a little and give their viewers a little more leg and elbow room.

We just saw Second City Live on New Year's Eve. It was very funny and played to a packed house. We have also been to their regular season productions which are very good as well.

The theatre itself was great! Good prices and friendly service at concessions. I would like to inform the directors of the show to be more careful with where they leave props and where the narrator stands throughout the show. I had ordered by tickets more than a month before the program so I had plenty of picks - the ticket agent helped me and I was told these were great seats. However, my family were blocked more than half of Ted performance by a leg lamp sitting on a shelf, by coats hanging on a coat tree, by a Christmas tree directly in front of us - our grand kids did not get to see the scene where Ralphie unwrapped his gun, and by the narrator standing directly in front of us several times. Frustrating to say the least!

I attended the chamber orchestra concert on Mother's Day.Being new to Warsaw, I wasn't sure what to expect, and I was pleasantly surprised. This theatre is 'in the round' so there are NO bad seats. I was able to see and hear everything with wonderful clarity.Special serendipity as the concert ticket was free for moms on Mother's Day. What a nice surprise!

Amazing singing and dancing as always.The productions at the Wagon Wheel Theater in the Round have been of top quality.What a treasure we have in Warsaw!

Saw "And Then There Were None". A very cozy theater in the round. Cast was entertaining, concession stand was very affordable. Will try to make another show next summer

Another great Friday night show live in Warsaw. Went to see the" Wonderful Wonderettes" and like every show I have ever seen there it was very good. The quality of the acting here is always top rate and the vocal ability of the shows are also way beyond what you might expect. The parking is ample and the cost for tickets are at least reasonable compared to today's high costs for concerts. The seating is always close but they need to expand the size of the seat as not everyone weighs 150# these days. One other complaint I would like to address is that there are no hand rails in the bathroom stalls. As a senior citizen this should be addressed immediately, I have noticed that many senior citizens attend these shows but the numbers will start declining if they don't take of these minor problems. I will be back in December and hope actions have been made. AS FOR TALENT AND SHOW QUALITY IT IS THE BEST AROUND.

I have not been here since I was a teen. This summer we have been three times and all I can say, some things never change. It is still as good today as when it was conceived. Such a wonderful place for time with friends, family, or a lovely summer Sunday afternoon with your sweetie. This is a first class venue!

Having never experienced a theater in the round, we were curious how a play is performed in the round. Wow...what fun, actors coming and going in all directions. As they say, not a bad seat in the house. The talent was top notch. We will definitely go back.

I have had season tickets at the Wagon Wheel Theatre for over ten years. That means I have easily seen over 60 musicals and plays. I have yet to witness a production that did not rise to the standard of something you would expect to see in Chicago or New York City. At a fraction of the cost, I might add. In fact, you can buy a season ticket (5 musicals and one play) for less than what you might pay to see one musical on Broadway - plus you don't have the headache of fighting big city traffic, paying an exorbitant amount for a meal or drinks before or after the production and spending an obscene price for a hotel room!In addition to the great quality of the productions is the added bonus that the Wagon Wheel is "theater-in-the-round." This present unique challenges to the directors and choreographers at the Wagon Wheel but a delight to audiences as they have the opportunity to view a production from a totally different perspective than normal. Another plus - the farthest seat is only ten rows from the stage! Talk about getting up close and personal with the cast. Over the last few years, we have seen the acting and musical talent of the cast improve considerably. I credit artistic director Scott Michaels with the ability to recruit some of the finest talent available.The selection of productions have always been top notch. Yes, there are a few productions over the years where I did not particularly enjoy the story. Despite that, the crew has always produced such a fine finished product that, even in those instances, I enjoyed myself immensely. During the fall, winter and spring the Wagon Wheel produces concerts and hosts comedy shows and motivational speakers. The cost for these events is always reasonable and as well done as the productions during the musical season. I have been to several concerts and will HIGHLY recommend you see Sawyer Brown whenever they are on the Wagon Wheel stage. They put on the most energized and enjoyable performance whenever they are in town. At Christmas, the Wagon Wheel presents a musical for the holiday - for 2014 they will be presenting "A Christmas Story." If your family or group is looking for something to make your holiday truly special, consider this show.Only negative - I don't want to seem overly complimentary lest you dismiss my review - is parking. Most parking requires a lengthy walk including walking up a hill. However, the Wagon Wheel has plans to address that within the next few years.

Professional productions; fun theatre! We really hope to return to see more of their musicals and plays.

We had the opportunity to go with friends to the Wagon wheel and were just amazed at the talent level of the performers. Both young and old alike. Only my second time there and I can't wait to go back. Truly a treasure in Warsaw Indiana!

What an amazing time! The performers are awesome. We have been to the Wagon 7 times now and find it a great time. The prices are very good and it is fun for the whole family. We are getting season passes next year!

The Wagon Wheel Theatre is a large city theatre experience in a small town. The actors are always wonderful and I have never been to a show that I thought any part of the cast or crew put any less tha 150% effort into. It is a great experience.The seats are a bit small if you are a larger person (as I am) but I deal with this to enjoy the great productions.
