Rose Blumkin Performing Arts Center

Great!
I love that this theater is completely family oriented. From the cookies and drinks they serve during intermission to the choices they have. I think the cast and crew are wonderful and really develop a rapport with the audience throughout their performances. Both shows I watched, Dr. Seuss and Mary Poppins were fun for the entire family. Rose Blumkin is becoming one of my favorite theaters to enjoy a musical! If you have yet to bring your family to this theater you’ll have to check this place out for your next play!

I’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy two shows here. A Dr. Seuss one and the most recent Mary Poppins feature. Each time I sat on the balcony, and though some may consider this to be too far or maybe not the best seats in the house, to me, they were. I felt the theater was small enough to still maintain an intimate feel with the cast and the rest of the audience, while at the same time being a bit further away to feel less crowded than below. The Rose is well maintained and the staff here are friendly and happy.
I love how they offer cookies and drinks for sale during intermission. I didn’t know about this fun fact until I saw Mary Poppins! It’s such a wonderful place to see great plays especially when you have little ones. I went to see Mary Poppins with my mom, niece, and sister and we had so much fun together. If you ever want to see a play and you have some family with you I highly recommend The Rose! The quality of the shows they offer as well as the amazing customer service and fun extras are great, the tickets prices aren’t too bad either!

On my quest to find fun things to do in Omaha, I came across a billboard for Mary Poppins the Musical at the Rose Blumkin Center. I absolutely love Mary Poppins and knew I just had to see it for the third time!
There are a lot of great things about this place. First, their ticket prices are really cheap. I saw Mary Poppins for $ 20, which is such a steal. Even the top seats only go for $ 25, which seems crazy to me. I’m obviously still in sticker shock after having lived in Chicago, New York, and St. Louis.
The place itself is really cool. I loved all of the Greek statues and columns. I also loved the ceiling, which is meant to look like a star-​filled sky. The seats were pretty comfortable, and to be honest, there isn’t a bad seat in the house.
While the actresses and actors aren’t the best I have ever seen, I still thought they were very talented and definitely worth every penny I spent. I hear they’re doing The LIttle Mermaid next June, and I most certainly will not miss that!
I’d say the only downside is that a lot of their shows are ones I have never heard of… but that’s okay since they do offer some of my Disney favorites. In sum, definitely check out their calendar and give it a go!

If you have small children the Rose is an excellent place in Omaha to check out a children’s show. We have seen two now, the very hungry Caterpillar and charlottes web. Both were very different but both were phenomenal. The actors, stage and props were very impressive. If you do not have a membership the seating is on a first come first serve basis. We do not have a membership and attended a sold out show but were still able to get excellent seats 15 minutes prior to the start of the show. Even in the balcony you can still see the stage and performance very clearly.
The theater alone has tons of ornate décor to look at and if you catch an evening show I love it that the ceiling lights up like a beautiful starry night.
The Rose is definitely a place we will continue to visit in the future and I highly recommend it for others as well.

Beautiful theater! It was our first time being here and cannot find one negative thing, as there was nothing negative. Will for sure hit up another play with the kids!

The Rose. It is a beautiful place. I have been to many performances there. THey are not bad, but not great either. I guess better performers would not be in Omaha. They do have great dance classes available.

The local children’s theater is located in a beautifully restored old theater building that looks like something straight out of Romeo and Juliet. Along with its popular main stage performances, it has has a black box, drama and dance classes for children and teens (including summer programs), and an extremely active teen theater program, including intensive theater internships for a small number of dedicated high school students every year.
