Portsmouth Little Theatre Reviews

 Always a great experience!!!

 Purchasing tickets was quick and easily accessible. I love the variety of shows and the ambiance of the building.

 Other than a hard time hearing some of the dialogue, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience.

 First time there! Great play and I could follow along because I saw the movie before. Great cast and a great time. Will go again!

 The theater was in great shape! The prices were just right, and the people were very friendly. Very nostalgic feel, with a feel of the big city. Such a wonderful hidden treasure right in our backyard! I could think of no better way to spend an evening! I hadn’t been back to PLT in over 20 plus years. I’m so thankful that I came, because now I know where I can bring my family and enjoy a great evening with laughs, popcorn, enjoyment the screens just don’t give.

 Love this theater!

 The actors are phenomenal! You always put on a fantastic show, the set was gorgeous and very immersive! My only complaint is constant rustling of bags in the audience, something that could help would be investing in non-crinkly containers.

 The stranger needs her own microphone. I heard other complaints; even up close, she could not be heard. It was evident that much time had been spent on the production, so it would have been better if the volume had been up.

 The cast did great overall. Our party of 4 enjoyed it with one bit of advice going forward. Roderick needs to project his voice more or use a microphone. We were in row E and had to strain to hear him.

 Actors were incredible! The younger actors could learn to project more but I only noticed because the more experienced actors were so clear and easy to hear. The set was absolutely gorgeous and immersive! The sounds in the background really helped with the immersion as well!

 What a wonderfully spooky Halloween play! We really enjoyed this adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher. Great actors, riveting drama, comedic moments, suspense, and a climactic horror finish! A perfect night out at the theater! :)

 My husband and I attended on Friday, Oct 2nd, with my sister and her husband. We all throughly enjoyed the play. The only issue was that my brother-in-law has hearing issues and Poe was hard to hear, possibly needed a lapel mic. I, my husband and my sister did also have a hard time hearing, Poe, but not nearly as much as her husband. I'd love to attend again, unfortunately I won't get the chance. Lady Madeline has a great set of lungs, her belting out "Rodrick" awesome.

 The night was perfect! The food was great and so were the people!

 The actors really excelled in this play. It moved quick enough to keep my attention but not too fast. The language was more explicit than I expected but that didn’t decrease my enjoyment of the show. I should have read about the play beforehand so I would know huh? ;) Next time. Loved the set!

 Terrible language and even with the acting done well, this was a very bad performance to be chosen for the season. I’ve been a season ticket holder for many years and this one should have never been put on the stage.

 Very tasteless show all the way around.

 It was excellent. We had a great time and will come again.

 Excellent! Great acting. Can’t wait until next season!

 These ladies nailed their roles. My husband and I both laughed and enjoyed the show. Good job ladies

 We did not care for it at all! Too many F bombs when truly was not necessary. Afterwards, we said we should have left at intermission. It definitely was not what we were expecting.

 I laughed so hard and then wanted to cry the next as the actors brought out the characters to life. The set was gorgeous, I would have loved to have had a room like that. Another great show PLT!

 Loved it!

 I saw this as a movie and completely understood this one. My favorite!!! (I love and then there were none as well but this one moved faster. My book club read that book and then came down for your show. Stacy Hemphill’s suggestion.)

 It was a Great production! The actor playing Col. Jessup gave us chills with his line deliveries!My fiancé is a Marine and said it felt like he was back at Parris Island. It was outstanding to see this at this size Venue. The setting was perfect. It’s only too it can’t have another week stay over so we can see it again!

 This was one of the best, if not The best, play I’ve ever seen. I was riveted to my seat for the entire play. The right actors were in the correct parts. They were all excellent. I can’t say enough good things about it. If you missed this one, you missed the best one of the year. Top notch directing also.

 Excellent performance by all the cast and directors. Just keeps getting better.

 It was a great evening. Bravo!

 This was our first show. It will be our first show of hopefully MANY. WOW! I am so appreciative of the women and men that are keeping this going in the Portsmouth community. Truly a wonderful and worthwhile experience. I cannot wait to come back. Thank you all for putting on a stallar performance. I was enthralled the entire time and the hours just slipped away. Bravo.

 A Few Good Men was fantastic! Everyone involved did a wonderful job.

 It was tremendous!! Every aspect of the show was very well done, and stayed true to the movie in so many ways. Classic show.

 I was so excited to see A Few Good Men, and my excitement turned to amazement, of how well the performers were right on Q. The actors in my opinion are very good at what they do. And Mrs Killie Rife you are a top director. Looking forward to visiting Our home town little Broadway. Looking forward to visiting with you guys again.

 The cast did a tremendous job!

 A few Good Men I knew from the title this was going to be a good show who would have thought how amazing the actors would bring this off I could hear every word see everything well and it was so real like the actors pull you right into the scenes they kept you thinking 🤔 And on your edge of your seat for more this was very well performed my hat 🎩 off to each everyone who participated in making this show such a memorable show thank you so much for great memories created

 I had an amazing time. Great performance and cast!

 I can’t say enough good things about this experience. I just wish I could have seen it again. Bravo!

 Excellent show enjoyed very much. Cast did a great job. Definitely one for everyone to see.

 The cast and crew did a great job. One of the best we’ve seen.

 Wonderful show, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was definitely an all star cast. Kudos to all your hard work

 Really looking forward to this season! Had to miss a few last year, and a couple weren't appropriate for our daughter to attend. But this season: EVERYTHING looks fun, interesting and open for her to join too. Love how easy it is to buy season tickets too. See you at the theater!

 I am glad we still have the PLT. It's a great outing. This production was kinda hard for me to follow but overall it was good being there.

 My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the show. All the actors did a great job. My hubby goes along with me but would probably rather be at home but he actually said this was one of his favorites. He especially liked the scene changes and said that he’d much rather have that than the curtain opening and closing. We thought Eric was hilarious!

 My least favorite because I didn’t understand some of the plot but my favorite stage decorations. As always the actors were great.

 What a fun show that captured the 50s theme so well. We didn’t know the storyline so wasn’t sure on what to expect, but it was a vivid portrayal of marriage and the ups and downs of relationships. Well done to all involved.

 Excellent show recommend for everyone

 Wasn't a fan of this one. Being unfamiliar with the script, it was confusing. Only "deep" into the show are we more informed that the couple lives in a "bubble" of the 50's. Slow moving plot. The audience didn't even "get" the few "jokes"... as no one laughed. They must had been struggling as well. The actors were great, it was the script that was a "nope" for me

 I am certain this was an amazing show. Sadly even with my season tickets, we could not chance it because of the horrible weather. I could not risk wrecking or hurting my friends. But this place is TOP NOTCH!!!

 Hilarious and heartfelt! Loved it!

 Great show! Cast nailed their characters. Laughed the whole show.

 Very funny from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone to see.

 Funny. Too long ago for me to recall details

 This show was great!!! We laughed from the beginning to the end of show. All actors were wonderful!!! Each character was unique and kept us very entertained. Thanks to everyone.🤗

 It was awesome. Cast did a fantastic job. Enjoyed

 This was my first time visiting PLT and it won’t be my last! Christmas Belles was hilarious and the actors were fantastic! The Geneva Musgrave character had me in floor with laughter!!!!

 Hands down best show I have seen! I laughed the whole show! The ensemble cast all played their parts perfectly, the director should be proud!

 This production was great. It was hilarious!

 Phenomenal talent! I was gripped by the story (which I didn't know already) and the actors ket me in the world as we all tried to figure it out together. Fantastic use of the set and space, it truly felt like characters were outside or in different rooms. Never a bad time going to one of your shows!

 pretty good

 From the mantel of soldier boys to the neck in the noose, the final night of And Then There Were None built tension and excitement until the final thundering laugh. As I sat in the front row, my fingers gripping the forearm of my forgiving partner, I found myself preparing for the piling up of the final five - hopeful to have correctly predicted the outcome. I was surprised indeed, not by the Who, but by how perfectly satisfying the final scene left me in chills. Bravo!

 By far and away the best show I’ve seen to date at the PLT. Character development in the very beginning was a bit long but once the first character died it moved much quicker. Comic relief was on point! The judge became unhinged in the most incredible way. Each actor brought their character to life. The set was brilliant. Well done to the director and cast. You exceeded my expectations.

 Great job PLT!

 I enjoyed it very much. I am a fan of Agatha Christie and have seen several movies based on “and then there were none.” My friend who was with me knew nothing about the story and hadn’t heard of Agatha Christie. She loved it.

 Excellent play with excellent actors!! There are a lot of talented ladies and gentlemen in our area. A little hard to hear in the beginning but got better as the play went on. 10/10 highly recommend.

 very good performance The lady judge and the doctor were exceptional in my opinion

 This was a great play! They kicked it out of the park!! Great job!!! Always a pleasure!!

 The Portsmouth Little Theatre's production of “And Then There Were None” was absolutely amazing! The talented cast definitely brought Agatha Christie's classic thriller to life with a flawless performance! Kudos to the entire team - from the actors to the crew - for delivering an outstanding show. If you're a fan of mystery, suspense, or just great storytelling, you won’t want to miss this one!

 Cast was amazing and all the characters came through with flying colors. The accents were a great touch, there was only one I could barely understand and I think it was because she was rushing her lines, but who am I to criticize because I certainly couldn’t have pulled it off lol. Kelli, an amazing production you did great with the cast and bringing their characters alive. One complaint of mine and those around me, would be the length of the play. Maybe start earlier.

 love it and Kelli Riffe was great.

 Very entertaining! Katie and the other actors did a fantastic job!

 It was wonderful! Well done!

 And Then There Were None is my favorite Agatha Christie novel. I had high expectations and PLT met every single one! I knew from the book what would happen, and still jumped every time someone died! The actors and actresses were amazing! They really brought each character’s personality to life. The set design was perfect.

 I loved it. 😊

 Loved it, one of the first books I ever read. The acting was superb, especially Vera Claythorne and Captain Lombard. Hope to see more of Alex Davis. He was fantastic. But every actor was great, if I had to say one negative, it was the length. When it goes past 2.5 hours, those seats are like rocks. Hopefully one day new seats can be purchased. Overall, a great night! Congratulations!

 My husband and I absolutely loved this play. The actors were so good and the directing was top notch. This was our favorite one so far. Keep up the great work. It’s so nice to have Portsmouth Little Theatre in our town.

 The show was awesome, the set was amazing and like always we all enjoyed it and can't wait till the next one

 Fantastic play. The last scene sent chills down my spine.

 Five stars all the way around. What a beautiful venue. I love the atmosphere and the historical aspect of the building. The staff was kind and funny, snacks were affordable, and the temperature was nice. I am always cold at places like this but it was just right. As for the production itself, it definitely didn’t disappoint. The characters were on point & they could be seen and heard. For such a serious topic, the comedic moments were fast & entertaining. Well done, indeed!

 The venue was very hot, and before we could dance the night away the fire alarm went off for seemingly no reason. Sound issues were also highly present.

 Excellent opportunities to support our community!

 So much fun!! I really enjoyed this event!! What a joy!! This theater is top notch!!

 The play was honestly extraordinary. The cast was excellent, especially whoever that guy was that played Trapper John. He is really going places. 10 out of 10, would recommend!

 5 stars! Every single actor on that stage gave a wonderful, high energetic performance! For not having seen the tv show or movie, it was still a comical delight! Always love seeing PLT performances.

 It was great!! The actors were all very good.

 Actors killed it! Director killed it! And the breakout star Katie as Judge Wargrave killed them all! The set looked beautiful. One of my favorites!!

 Was great as always!!!!

 MASH was amazing! I’m always impressed when I come to PLL and this was no exception!

 Very funny and entertaining.

 Was a very good event. It did take a while to get my mind off the actual movie and series and stay focused on the play. For me the first part of the play seemed a bit slow BUT the second part of the play was most excellent.

 Loved the performances. Had trouble hearing some of the characters. Need better sound. We were in row K.

 The whole cast done in excellent job, Harley would have recommended it to anybody
