We were not sure if we should go see a show but several people recommended Savannah Live at this theater. I am so glad we didn't miss it because it was amazing! So good that we went back the next night to see the other show they are running called Jukebox Journey. This show was equally as amazing as the... More

Like the previous reviewer, we went to the show and loved it so went back the next night. Both were really good. It was the best performance we experienced through out our 30 days touring around the the South. We would recommend it to everyone visiting Savannah

We make this theatre a special stop on our semi annual trips from Tampa, FL to D.C. The shows are so very intertaining and the cast is so very energetic and enthusastic. They have alternating shows and the 2nd night is 1/2 price. We really consider attending both showa a "must do" when in Savannah

We saw Savannah Live in this historic theatre. The music was a variety from broadway shows, Elvis songs, the Beatles to Rock 'n Roll. What an energetic and talented group of performers and the band was outstanding. We definitely recommend this show. It was a pleasant surprise. We did not know that this show would be so professional.

We are fans of all live theatre and performance from Opera to Rock and Classical, Dance to Drama and have enjoyed concerts and shows in Vienna, Salzburg, London etc. I am setting this out because I dont understand how negative reviews based on comparing this show to Broadway etc is very helpful. While visiting Savannah we passed the Theatre and... More

Put the Savannah Theatre on your list of "must see" when you visit Savannah.This is the oldest operating theatre in the United States. I saw the show "Jukebox Journey". It will have you singing and dancing in your seat or on your feet. I'm sure all their shows are great. The cast is wonderful, the theatre have a hometown feel.... More

The show was great, 2 hours long and they packed in so many songs, brought back alot of memories. They also honor the Veterens which I thought was great!

Cute men, beautiful women, and gorgeous voices took us back to our youth with Beach Boys, Beatles, Sonny and Cher, the Bee Gees, James Taylor, Karen Carpenter, and lots more. Musical love skits were very fun and creative. Lots of costume changes. The live instrumentalists were extremely talented and vivacious. We particularly loved the audience participation in the musical skits.... More

A must when you visit in Savannah. This is the oldest operating theatre in the United States. You will hear and see all the hits from the 1940's to the 70's Its a fast paced dancing musical extravaganza!
