We were in town for school and decided to check out the Off Broadway Theatre. The show was sold out but there is a row in the back that is not used and we were able to snag two seats there since the young woman at the entrance was lovely. We saw Dracula vs. the Hunchback and it was fantastic! It was funny and interactive; they had great parodies for well-known songs and the actors were super entertaining. If we lived in town, we would be frequent patrons. When we return for graduation, we will be sure to come by if there is a show playing. What a completely unexpected and delightful night we were able to enjoy! I would strongly recommend it and am very grateful we had the opportunity to see the show in the rather comfortable fold up chairs. Next time we will buy tickets earlier and sit in the super comfy seats!

Came here for a random date night and we saw Robyn Hood. I'd say it was the silliest date we've ever been on (in a good way!). You can tell the cast was very comfortable with improv and super funny, so I'm planning on returning for the improv night and some more plays in the future. Great for a date night or the whole family! Tickets are a good price and they offer concessions as well.

Madison,
Thank you for your review and letting us know of your experience. We’re pleased to learn you had a good date night! - Jun 5, 2018
Fun place for inexpensive and mediocre entertainment. I don't want to hate on them, but a little TLC could go a long way to make this place more lively. The lobby area is outdated with old and uncomfortable furniture. The decor doubles as storage, which at times is spilling out for the public to see. Staff seems disinterested at best-reminds me of teenagers that are working because their parents make them rather than because they want to.
The show we saw was Jurassic Park City. It was mildly funny, more cheesy than I prefer, but my family liked it. We will probably continue to visit because it's very inexpensive and has a nostalgic ambiance. But I'd love to see someone do a makeover-there is a lot of potential here!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Geoff C.Salt Lake City, UT203149312Aug 6, 2017
The Off Broadway Theatre has been downtown for as long as I can remember but I never had had the pleasure of actually checking it out until very recently. One day I hopped on trax and sat agog waiting for the show to begin.
The theatre was a bit rundown regarding the seats, carpet, and walls. The props, lights, and music, however, was not thankfully. Now, as far as the acting is concerned, it was, to put it bluntly, campy. This is by all means not an insult but just an observation. Albeit the play was intended as a comedy yet the humor contained few moments of hilarity.
I genuinely enjoyed seeing a live action play that didn't break my bank account. I will certainly go back to support the local actors all the while enjoying myself inexpensively.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jul 8, 2019
I love the OBT! I've been coming to it for years. I've seen a ton of shows, their Halloween shows are by far the best though. The improv laughing stock shows they do are great too! It's a fun family place and affordable. The actors are funny especially Eric Jensen.

A little run down and the theater is freezing. A little more TLC would do this place good.
But the staff was super helpful finding me a folding chair to use for my back problem.
Some skits were really funny. Others were just okay. But overall I think I'd come back. The price was right and it was a good place to come for our anniversary date night.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Elena W.Carlsbad, CA6532Nov 17, 2018
So I took my kids to their muffet Christmas Carol being ready to have a fantastic time as according to them is a kid show. Their jokes are nothing but stupid stand up comedy shows talking trash about politics and religion. I couldn't sit there and watch and in 20 minutes I took my entire family and got out of that shit show. The theater is ran down, dirty filthy chairs and carpet and the show was nothing but a match to this place. If you want a Christmas show at this theater be ready for an offending show.
Shame on you!!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jessica D.Spring, TX1778Aug 12, 2019
We saw "Hamlet" and it was absolutely incredible!!! What an amazingly talented group of people. I'm so happy my mom and I stopped in on our road trip, and wish we were staying longer so I could see it again!

Yes, 5 stars.
Why? Because dammit, this place is fun.
The calibre of acting that you will see a block away at the Capitol doesn't reside here, but that doesn't matter. Not every play is as funny as "that one that time," but that also doesn't matter. The theatre is old, but the plumbing is older. The seats welcome you with open arms and sink you toward the floor, perhaps requiring you to ask a friend to help you escape, but that's okay too.
The OBT doesn't take itself seriously, and you shouldn't either, but that doesn't mean you should stay home. If you go to have fun, Eric and his crew of misfits will make sure you do.
So pack your happy-go-lucky vibe, laugh at the funny - yet sometimes corny - jokes about everything, including the Mormons (after all, they're their favourites), and enjoy the OBT's special blend of fractured Utah tales.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Jose C.Montrose, Houston, TX78911Dec 8, 2018
Here from Texas on vacation and just watched the improv show tonight. It was fun. The cast was funny and witty! Thanks for a fun time!
