My wife and I went to see Deathtrap this weekend. What a fantastic play in a wonderful theater. Not a bad seat in the house. The show was fantastic with such an elaborate and well done set. All the employees were very gratious. they have a small bar out front with competitive prices.

We go to a play every year during our Key West visit and they are uniformly very good. This year, Death Trap was ever better.

Great playhouse! Very limited seating. All seats are great. Highly recommend a show here. Price for ticket were only $45.00 for best seating. Located in Mallory Square. Great Jazz Club outside the front door of the playhouse.

Fantastic performance of Drowsy Chaperone. SOme of the best theatre we have seen anywhere and not too expensive. If you have a few hours free in the evening to see a show AND if you are lucky enough to get tickets, it's a must see. Talent is superb. Theatre is a short walk from most places and near Mallory Square....

We recently celebrated our 35th anniversary in Key West and saw the Drowsy Chaperone at the Waterfront Playhouse. We had a great time! We loved the singing, dancing and laughing. All the better served in an intimate theater where every seat is a good seat. If you are in Key West don't miss it since it is a first rate...

Waterfront Playhouse excellent venue intimate. Good sound all seats unobstructed. Almost all shows have an edge to them and many will feel put off by course language, rough subject matter and adult "humor".

We're so sorry that you were unhappy with the content of the show. This season's productions (so far) were "The 39 Steps," "Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks," and "The Drowsy Chaperone" -- all very popular Broadway hits with very mild/PG language. If you did find anything offensive, please let me know so that I can tell you, in advance,...

Currently showing at the Waterfront Playhouse is the comedy and musical, The Drowsy Chaperone. Everything about this show is super - the direction, the cast, the stage setting and the integration of lights and sound with the performance are just super!!! All 18 performers are perfectly suited for their roles - all are so good that you start to say...

I visit Key West annually during the winter months. I'm from New York. As an avid theater goer I can't say enough about the productions The Waterfront Playhouse puts forth, a big bravo !!

Charming theater, professional actors. Wonderful quality production of this musical comedy! Perfect spot to step away from some of the Mallory Square craziness.
