Keegan Theatre

Had the most incredible experience at Seussical the Musical! I sat front row and was completely taken by the sets, costumes, and AMAZING talent. The talent was unmatched. I laughed, cried, and danced through the engaging show and I CANNOT wait to visit Keegan theatre again for their next production. A small theater that had made a huge impact on me. Highly recommend—every bit of my experience was worth it.

I saw Seussical last night with my 3 siblings and it was INCREDIBLE! The cast, the set, the costumes, the energy- amazing. They took a small, beautiful space and a timeless story and they made it work in such a special way. This show is the main reason I came to DC this month, and I am very happy I made that choice. The Keegan Theater has a new life long stan. I will be back! And if you saw me crying in the front row for the entire 75 minute performance, yes you did. Bravo!

I went with my three sisters last night because we wanted to relive our childhood experience of all being in Seussical: The Musical (Us as Jojo, Mayzie, and Gertrude, the youngest sister we just brought along for the ride because we did it before her time). Two sisters came all the way from Richmond and one even came from Austin Texas! I had never been to the theatre before but I live only a few blocks away.

Well let me just say we were absolutely blown away. The location is adorable, in the middle of a residential street in Dupont Circle. The set looked great, with delightful details, and the live band gave an amazing energy. We sat in the front row and cried the entire time because the performances were so great. I would recommend this theatre to anybody. This is a local treasure. We thought the standouts in the show were Tori Gomez as The Sour Kangaroo, Sarah Chapin as Gertrude McFuzz, and Stephen Russell Murray as the mayor. Childhood successfully relived!

Keegan is a secret gem in Dupont Circle. We saw Seussical the Musical

Really enjoyed my first experience at this black box theater. The seats are comfortable and there isn't a bad seat in the house. There is a small concessions stand with bar fare, and little and thoughtful touches like a coat rack made it a comfortable and enjoyable theater night experience.

First time there. elegant, intellectual political small space. Think old church.
They are replicating Greak dramatic plays from 500 BC. Near Dupont Circle & Embassies of poorer countries.

Visiting from out of town, we have been to shows all over the world, from Broadway to the West End, and to shows all over DC and we happen to catch Chicago at the Keegan Theater, and it was a fantastic production. The Keegan is a small, intimate theater with a neighborhood feel, but don’t let its size fool you. The production was first class! The actors are experienced and talented, the show was well produced, and the orchestra played beautifully. We will definitely be back, and highly recommend. Bravo!

My wife and I attended the Keegan Theatre performance of "The Full Monty" and had a great time.

Keegan is a small theatre tucked into the middle of a residential street near Dupont Circle, but if you enjoy quality theatre without all the bells and whistles (and high prices) of Broadway (or Kennedy/Fords locally), I would definitely recommend Keegan.

I don't know exactly how many seats there are, but it couldn't have been more than a couple of hundred, so for the performance, there really isn't a bad seat in the house. Which is good, since seating is general admission, first-come, first-served only. There are some light snacks available for a $1 donation, and a "bar" area that serves a selection of beer, wine, soft drinks, and water for reasonable prices ($2-5). There are two small restrooms downstairs and at intermission, it took pretty much the entire break for the line to work its way around. The vestibule is very small and can be cramped before the show and during the break, but it's to be expected, and you can always step out onto Church St. for some fresh air (or a smoke, if that's your thing).

On the bright side, they announced at the show that the Company had recently finalized a purchase of the property and their capital campaign to renovate the space was in full swing. Once the improvements are done, the experience will be even better, I'm sure.

The show itself was a lot of fun. I was a little worried about the quality of the talent, having never seen a show here before, but I was more than pleasantly surprised. All of the actors were very very good, with a great comedic timing and delivery.

An exceptional value (tickets are $40, but you can usually find discounts online) and a very enjoyable night out.
