Went to see the Addams Family Musical there last night. The entire cast was amazing! Great job, everyone, and the theater itself was beautiful! It was my first time coming to see anything there.
We went to see the play "The Crucible". I was very impressed with the acting quality. It was better frankly than some shows we have seen on TV. It is a small intimate theater so you are close to the stage. I sat in the 1st row and then moved to the 4th row at the intermission. I preferred the 4th row view of the stage.
We saw the Producers last year and Kinky Boots last Saturday. Both performances were stellar! Amazing local talent! Comfortable, professional venue! Cool, clean, nice seating, affordable tickets - what's not to like? No compromise quality entertainment! Great asset for Gainesville community!!
Was I actually transported to NYC, watching a Broadway musical?! One might think so, as the plays and musical productions created here in the Van York Theater, more commonly known as The Gainesville Community Playhouse, are that professional and well done. Okay, so, back to reality…I was in Gainesville, FL, happily front row center, enjoying ‘Kinky Boots’. I bought my tickets in the car immediately after leaving ‘Clue’, it was that good, awesome, super (insert infinite superlatives here)!
I moved here last year from Orlando, where I regularly attended shows, and hands down I NEVER saw shows this good or got a front row ticket for $19. The theater is comfortable and fairly intimate, reinforcing the happy fact that you’re not crawling over 30 people to jam yourself into a tiny seat. So, I know you’re asking yourself, “Yes, but did you like the Vam York?” 😆
Bottom line? Yes. YeS, YES!

Wowza!! We went last night (7/27) and saw KINKY BOOTS. This was our first show and it won’t be our last. The show had so many moving parts—singing, dancing, and a story line that is both meaningful and funny. Lots of love shown from the staff AND all actors. One word….Fabulous.
I saw the current production, KINKY BOOTS, last evening, and it was excellent! The acting, the singing, the dancing, the costumes, the set...all were simply wonderful! It was the best theater I've experienced in quite some time. I urge you to see it.
Not sure if there are two names to this building. Excellent layout lighting and smoke effects. Saw Oliver was a great show. This place takes considerable measures during covid to give mask and require them throughout the show
Wonderful performance for an evening out. Organized, helpful professional staff. Very well run theatre. Excellent, entertaining Actors.
