The Gaslight Theater has been entertaining Tucson for longer than I've been alive - well over 40 years - and for the same reason. It's absolutely top-shelf fantastic!
When you think about Tucson icons that have been around this long, the list is short but distinguished and being included with names like Caruso's and El Charro says a WHOLE lot about reliable, consistent, amazing quality and service.
I'm a Tucson Native and have been attending Gaslight shows since I was a baby. We see every single one and they're always funny. The slapstick melodramas are family friendly, entertaining for all ages, and consistently excellent. It's a must-do anytime we have someone in town, even if we've already see the show that's running.
The food is a trimmed down menu from Little Anthony's Diner & Grandma Tony's Pizza - the "best pizza in Tucson!" They also have a full bar and, of course, amazing ice cream desserts!
The music is exceptionally well done, the acting is fantastic, and I love how much the cast engages with the crowd. It's a hilarious adventure and every single show is different. My favorite is when the actors mess with one another or someone makes a mistake - watching them recover is always better than if they'd nailed the line.
I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could, but 5 will have to do. If you've been, you already know... and if you haven't been, call the box office and buy tickets to a show immediately! You'll be glad you did.
They're definitely worthy of being on Broadway...
... Broadway & Kolb!
