About
Mystic Dark Room is an intimate show lounge offering unique entertainment experiences, accommodating its guests with all front row seating. Up a winding staircase, past the iron and brass gates, guests escape into a chic metro-loft atmosphere, ornamented with leather couches, private tables, larger than life concert style sets, lighting and special effects. This year’s line-up includes a unique grown-up night out with Holiday Spectacular In November and December, Exposure evenings in February and March, and FLESH in March and April. Guest are invited to join us early at 6:00 to relax and unwind while exploring our wine, specialty MDR cocktails, beer – or a non-alcoholic beverage of choice menu. Following all shows, the soirée continues with intriguing interactions between guests and artists, our friendly cast that will gladly – pose for souvenir photos following the show. As always we encourage you to take advantage of the dance floor and light show.

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.

An exhilarating addition to your trip to Mystic. Intimate, artsy, sexy, comedic, it’s got pretty much everything you can ask for. Not to mention the friendly dancers and fantastic choreography. If you’re in the area and you have the time, I can’t recommend it more.

Mystic Dark Room is a unique experience. Walking into the event space takes you out of Mystic Connecticut and into another world. The setting is slightly industrial, with mood lighting and music setting the scene as you are shown to your seat.
Mystic Dark Room hosts a realm of dance experiences. Just last weekend, the Company just wrapped its run of "The Little Mermaid." I had the pleasure of seeing this show and it was a perfect family experience, especially for little Disney aficionados. The one hour performance was spot on; high caliber dance, with humor mixed into the sweet story of Ariel's journey to becoming a human.
Mystic Dark Room also hosts other dance experiences such as GRAB- in house choreography that brings NYC to Mystic. There is really nothing like it anywhere else in the area.
You're up close and personal at Mystic Dark Room, as well. There is one row of seating- so every seat is a front row seat to the show. You'll feel like the dancers are performing just for you. And after the performance concludes, you'll get a chance to meet the dancers, ask questions, pose for pictures. The Company hails from all over the world; they are lovely and happy to speak with you and share in your opinions of their performance.
I would highly recommend taking in a performance at Mystic Dark Room, with the family, or as a great date night experience.

This was our first visit to the new performance space of Mystic Ballet. We were amazed how professional, intimate, and inviting the space was. Every seat is fantastic and at times the dancers are just a few feet away from where you sit. You can bring your own beverages and enjoy this very unique performance space. The dancing, as always, is superb, athletic, and exciting. The dancers are recruited and hand picked from all over the world so it is truly an international event. We look for to returning again and again for a wonderful night of entertainment that cannot be found anywhere else. BTW, after the show the dancers all mingle with the audience and are happy to take photos with audience members and answer questions, chat, etc; another rare feature of this company.

If you are a fan of the Arts or just someone who wants to be amazed, this show is a must see! International dancers give you an up-close display of their talents. All in a dark space with the lighting and sound found only in major market venues. Intimate seating is limited but don't forget a bottle of wine. Perfect for a "Date Night" or couples and groups just wanting a different experience. I only wish that more performance dates were available for us to enjoy.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to be seated center although there is not a bad seat in the room. Every seat is front row, as there are limited seatings, making this a very intimate experience. I found it to be tastefully done, with professional lighting, laser, props, and a stage practically in your lap, housed in a setting that definitely ads to the intrique of what you are a about to experience. The dancers dance their hearts out and appreciate the feedback the audience evokes as they witness a passionate, modern interpretive performance that will have you giving a standing ovation at the end. These young people from all over the world work hard at their craft, and even if you were never that close to the world of dance, you get to chat with them freely at the end, which just adds to the overall intimacy of the whole experience. I highly recommend supporting this venue and the people that brought this concept to reality. I especially enjoyed having the happenstance chance of meeting the family that put their passions and pockets on the line to bring Mystic Dark Room to life.

The show was amazing, and had so many elements to keep you engaged! It was whimsical, creative, emotional and the talent truly mind-blowing. It was such a fun way to kick off the holiday season and switch up our date night plans. It is hard to put the experience into words, it is a hidden gem that shines so bright and makes you want to come back for more.

Fun & interactive. Not sure what the VIP package changed, so maybe avoid the up charge for that. I love chocolate cake.

One single word. Emotional. The show captures you and without words escalates your emotions to the point you forget you are watching a show. The dancers are well trained and give you everything they have. They love what they are doing and the emotion on their face shows it every... single .. second! My challenge to the audience is to find that moment in the show when the music stops, but the dance goes on. You will be delighted if you don't notice, but amazed further if you catch what I'm hinting at. I will be attending their shows regularly from this time forward. I forgot how fun the arts can be. Thank you to all the performers.
