I'd heard so much about Shadowbox, and I live right behind it, so we've taken a few opportunities to visit lately. Kids and husband love it, I like it. I find the service a little weird. It's a lot of personal attention, but almost seems a little overdone. I don't know that they need to have reservations, step you through... More

Both men and women will enjoy this experience, which makes it the perfect evening out. The actors are top-notch, and the food is surprisingly good! Now that they have moved into the new and larger facility, I enjoyed it even better than when they were at Easton. Watch for actor/ singer Amy Lay - she is amazing! More

This company is absolutely wonderful, you will not find a place around like Shadowbox, by the end of the night your stomach will be hurting from the laughter. And they do music numbers in between skits, that are performed perfectly. I wish I could rate this place higher. And they do not do it for the money, they do it... More

Good entertainment for a saturday night out. The music is awesome and the sketches are funny. However, the best shows are the Halloween special and "the best of". If you are a student (and have a valid ID) you can save $10 off your ticket. Their drink selection is nice, their signature drink "The freak" is very refreshing. Their appetizers... More

My wife, a good friend, and I recently attended Shadowbox Live and were so shocked at how utterly bad it was that we left at intermission. As we were led to our seats, the host asked if we had been to Shadowbox before or if we were "virgins." As this was our first time he made the obvious joke and... More

I had been to the Shadowbox at Easton in the past but I REALLY enjoyed going to the new venue downtown! The show was updated and fun and the place was huge! The food was good, the service was friendly and fast, and I was AWED by the band! I would travel to see them - that is how good... More

The performance pieces can be inconsistent, some work, some don't, but the music is always good! Worth checking out. More

I found Shadowbox live and read the review and really hit a homerun!! It was alot of fun! We saw the show Body Language which was a sketch comedy show, with... More
