The new permanent JFK exhibit at the Kennedy Center is really special. It showcases President Kennedy’s, and his wife Jackie’s, appreciation and promotion of the arts. It is beautifully and effectively laid out. People of all ages and backgrounds will enjoy and learn from this exhIbit. You can even create your own artistic selfie! Definitely worth your time.

On my return trip (my first since The Before Times), I fit a stop in here to see an early evening performance of the hit whodunnit, Shear Madness. I allowed myself time to explore the nearby riverfront and environs (there's an actual water gate on the river that was where the Watergate Inn first did business. There's a great new exhibit on the lives of JFK and Jackie on the top floor, which I took time to peruse. A free guided tour of the center, which I took last time, is offered. I highly recommend it, as it covers the history of the center and how it came to be built. It was good to see crowds of visitors and the gift shop decorated for the holidays once again. Things are just about back to normal. Hopefully.

Terrace theatre is a beautiful theatre! Smaller than i imagined, but overall I had a good experience. I sat in the orchestra house right section and it was the perfect view! I am 5’9.5 and the seats were roomy and comfortable. The staff were nice and helpful. The concept of the show was good. I also paid for parking onsite which made my experience less worrisome than if I had not. I briefly walked around the gallery after my show and that was beautiful as well. I am glad I wore my mask though as there were a lot of kids and coughing everywhere. Otherwise, I had a nice experience and will be returning for more shows in the future.

I saw Frozen the musical at the Opera House and it was just so spectacular. I would highly recommend it. The cafe we ate at before the show was nice too. Kennedy Center is a very clean and well kept venue.

Went to see Swan Lake performed by the American Ballet. It was breathtaking. The stage, the dancers, all of the Kennedy Center staff were wonderful. When you arrive you are greeted at least once by someone who is offering to help you find whatever it is you're looking for. The building is majestic and impressive. The ballet was so delightful and received a standing ovation.

I've attended concerts, opera, and theater at The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Not only do they get outstanding shows, they are presented in a fine venue with interesting architecture and excellent acoustics. Transportation/parking can be tough, but it is within walking distance of a metro stop (for a healthy adult).

The Kennedy Center is the premiere performing arts venue in DC. It is a stunning facility with multiple theatres catering to different performance types. The terrace offers beautiful views of the Potomac River. Dining options are fine and there are others nearby. The free performances on the Millennium Stage is an amazing opportunity for both the public and the performers.

We went for a free one-hour tour of the interior. It was well-done and a joy to see inside many of its theatres. The Center offers frequent free performances as well as those you must pay for. There is a shuttle bus toad from the nearby foggy Bottom Metro stop, but we walked.

First time at the Kennedy Center Opera house, and I will say the seating has been one of the best so far. Being a bigger person, I didn't feel like I was packed in the seat like a sardine. Was comfortable the entire show, which made the experience so much more fun for the whole family

I decided that I would write an overall review of the 23-24 theater season. The season definitely had some good and some bad in it, but I will go in order. The first show in the general package was Girl from the North Country. It tells a story using 20 Bob Dylan songs reimagined. It was fun and interesting and I didn’t realize how many Dylan songs I’d actually heard before. The next show was Frozen. It was a blast and basically followed the movie but with some new songs thrown in. My only issue with it was the lead struggled to sing Let It Go which was a bit of a let down, but not everyone can be a powerhouse like Idina Menzel. Show #3 was Company and boy was it a weird one. I know it’s a revival of a classic, but I knew nothing about it going in. I liked the story, about half of the songs and the production was very well done. Another classic was up next, Funny Girl. I’d only ever scene the movie (once), but I really liked the show, the lead and all the songs. I would say it tied for best show of the season. The second to last show was Back to the Future: The Musical. Honestly, I was curious about this show and how they would set it to music. I will say some of the songs were fun, but the story is choppy with minimal segues between scenes. It almost seemed like they were trying to cram in the highlights from the movie to make sure they didn’t miss the things people liked. The highlight of the show was the actor playing Doc Brown and all his numbers though at least one of them served no purpose (but made me laugh hysterically). The final show was Mamma Mia. This was my other favorite of the season. All the songs are familiar to me and the story is fun. Overall not a bad season. Can’t wait to start the new one in October.
