This is a show that is well worth your time. The corny jokes were OK, but the band was really the star. There are many talented musicians in the group but Paul and Diane were my favorites. There is a wide range of music incorporated into the show from folk and gospel music to Broadway tunes and current pop songs. Our group ranged from 13 to 78 years young and everyone enjoyed themselves.

We LOVE the Woodtick theater located in Akeley MN! The show is lively and entertaining and the musicians are so talented. We have gone three years in a row and each year the show is changed a little bit to keep you guessing what is next! Hank, the fiddle player (plays many instruments but most known for his fiddle) is no longer with the show and we got to see his last performance! It was outstanding. He will be greatly missed from that show. We will go next year just to see how it's changed, but I'm not sure how it can be the same without Hank. He added so much- his voice, his character, his persona- all so cool. His talent is beyond exceptional. The other musicians are very talented as well, so they might be able to carry it off without him, we'll see! It's mostly bluegrass, folk, country and a bit of oldies/classic rock that is included in the show. It's a couple hours long with an intermission and there is wonderful popcorn to purchase! I love this place!!

Just returned from the Woodtick Theather and the performance was outstanding! They have a good variety of music and the instrumental performances are amazing. You would not expect a show of this caliber in such a small town theater. If you're in the area don't miss it!

some part of our family goes to the Woodtick Theatre every summer and every year it is a little different but always good. This summer we were very impressed with Brian Bass. the guitarist. He has a bright future ahead of him.
The fiddler (Jeff Menten) was the best and I loved his closing first act routine....was that an ode to Jack Nicholson in "The Shining" smile as the curtain was closing? Or perhaps "Snidely Whiplash?"
Greg Gaston, the drummer, was fantastic and his skills were really on display during their "Hawaiian Set"
And Diane Sauer? what a stage presence. I would love to see her do a Rosemary Clooney song or two. Her glittering dress and beautiful voice brings me to Nashville itself.
Time goes by very fast at the Woodtick. But the Theatre itself takes you back in time! And what an enjoyable trip it is!
p.s. I do miss the occasional Ole and Lena skits....would be nice to bring back I think.
THANK YOU TO EVERYBODY AT THE WOODTICK !!

We are a cycling group from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and experienced this show last September (2014) We have been coming to the Walker area as a group for over 11 years and finally came upon this gem last year. We will be back again this year but unfortunately not in time for the last show of the season. Keep it going we loved every minute!!!

My Uncle Hank (Henry Reitan) had been a premier musician at the Woodtick Theatre for many years. I have had the honor of having him preform at my wedding and have enjoyed many of his preformances while growing up. I have visited the Woodtick only once but enjoyed every minute of the show. All of the musicians and singers are so talented and Lena is a HOOT! I recommend swinging into Akley and taking in their show if you are in the area. It is worth your time and money! Love you Uncle Henry!

This is our third time we have been here and they always has some changes. Never the same show or songs. You can tell they all love what they are doing. I hope it is around for many years to come. Popcorn was even very good.

Everyone there was fun and upbeat. The theater is quite old but that also gives it it's charm. Musicians are good and play music that I liked. Corny jokes that were either delivered well or fell flat. A sure stop if staying in the Walker- Park Rapids area.
