Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My family and I are from Puerto Rico and vacationed in Waterbury for Christmas week. We planned to watch a production in Hartford Stage, A Christmas Carol. I loved it so much, it was an amazing show. The actors were great. The theater is beautiful. Employees are friendly. There is a pay parking lot. Overall it as a great experience. Two Thumbs Up!

My family and I went to see the Hartford Stage's annual performance (series) of A Christmas Carol. The performance was extraordinary, the actors were great, they brought new life to this wonderful classic. They theater is comfortable and every seat is a good seat. Highly recommended.

There is truly no bad seat in the house. This is an excellent venue. We saw "A Christmas Carol" and all of us - adults and children alike - loved it. The special effects were impressive for such a small theater. My only complaint was that every single snack food was unsafe for someone with a nut allergy. It would be very easy for them to carry skittles or potato chips or gummies or peppermint patties or plain Hershey bars or.....

Impromptu visit to Hartford to gather with family. My Uncle asked if we’d like to join them for what he thought was The Grinch. When arriving we noted that show was actually A Christmas Carol which I was happy about. WOWZA! This production was phenomenal from the first minute with the “ghosts” to the very last scene. Incredible acting, costumes and special effects. I will absolutely drive to Hartford next year with our adult children to see this production again.
I think it may be too scary for children under 6 even though there are many young children in play. Bravo Hartford Stage.

We recently visited Hartford Stage to see the new musical "Anastasia" and were blown away. Fantastic show. We were so glad to see it here for the first time. This was not our first visit to Hartford Stage. This theatre is intimate, innovative and creative. It has parking right underneath, a wonderful lobby, so many bathrooms you never have to wait in line for long (that is important!) and there are no bad seats. Because of the way the theatre is built, you experience the show as if being in an amphitheatre. Hartford Stage shows new work and classics, consistently casts diverse actors and has a fantastic educational department. We do love Hartford Stage!

This is a nice, small theater with a good layout. The staff members are very professional, friendly and welcoming. Parking was easy, too. I would definitely attend another performance at Hartford Stage.

I'm in my mid-forties, and have been a subscriber with my family since I was a child. This theater rivals any theater on Broadway, and has nothing but first class productions. From the gorgeous sets and costumes, to the incredible casts, you can't go wrong. There isn't a bad seat in the house, parking couldn't be more convenient, and the theater offers extensive opportunities for further education with each production. Treat yourself to a night out!!

Go see “A Christmas Carol” It is worth seeing it. I saw “A Christmas Carol” a few years ago and I just saw it last night.

I am very impressed by the Hartford Stage and their current show The Christmas Carole. The theater is small enough that you feel like you are on the stage with the show. The stage has all the technology to bring a dynamic experience with lights, floor openings, trapeze flying actors, snow falling, and quick scene changes. We sat in section B second row. My husband has a bad left knee so I chose the seat on the far left. There was only a small opening for him to rest his leg. I saw that the third row would have been better. There are no big stairs to deal with and the sound is excellent even when the actors are not facing you. The Christmas show has wonderful costumes and it moves along so you are surprised by something every few minutes. This is a great place for families (over 8ish years old) unless they are scared by ghosts.

We saw it...perhaps just us, but not our thing. It was amusing at times, but slapstick and, for us, over the top silliness. It had elements of Monty Python that were amusing, but without the irony. Just our two cents
