- John M1 contributionGreat entertainment valueFor a small town this theatre company puts on a big show. Amazing describes the opening night of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. Great cast all with strong voices and dancing skills working on a small stage.This was my first visit to West Yellowstone and a marvellous surprise to see such an excellent musical production.

- Ruth P1 contributionPerfectly Cast, Perfectly PerformedWe really enjoyed the play Beauty and the Beast at the Playmill Theater in West Yellowstone. The actors, actresses and crew really gave 110%!! We loved all the props and the special effects. It was a fun experience.Visited June 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten June 12, 2023
- JBHSalt Lake City, Utah2 contributionsGreat experience!We thoroughly enjoyed the performance from the pre show variety show to the full performance of Joseph and the Technicolor Dream coat. The vocals were amazing. The dancing was so well done. We enjoyed the intimate stage setting. It was a great experience.Visited June 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten June 13, 2023
- Stacee C1 contributionNEVER disappoints!The Playmill never disappoints! My 14 year old son was NOT excited that we were going to see Beauty and the Beast. He ended up LOVING it. He laughed, was engaged the entire time, and admitted at the end he was wrong. Thanks for another great show Playmill cast and crew!Visited June 2023Traveled with familyWritten June 21, 2023
- DCT2 contributionsAmazing ShowsMy wife and I had the most amazing time this past week watching all 3 shows. They were spectacular! We have seen two of these shows at another venue in Southern Utah, who bring in widespread talent from far and wide, and I would put these shows above theirs any day. Great job Playmill!!! If you have never been, take the time to come and enjoy the talent they have. One more thing, come early and enjoy the pre-show. The extra added talent these actors have will floor you. My wife and I especially enjoyed it when the groups performed and harmonized during the pre-show. To all those involved in these performances – thank you.Visited June 2023Written June 26, 2023
- Tiffany W1 contributionMemorable Family NightWe love the atmosphere of the Playmill! Not only is the cast extremely talented…they are SO kind and some of the hardest working young adults around. I was grateful for the good examples of work ethic that the cast and staff presented for my kids to experience. They had a BLAST. Beauty and the Beast is one of our all time family favorites and the play definitely did not disappoint. Thank you for such a fun entertaining and memorable family night. We loved every second! 🤍 the WheelersVisited July 2023Traveled with familyWritten July 5, 2023
- Gary F1 contributionMaking Marvelous MemoriesSam as always was splendid as he portrayed the main character, his facial expressions were classic , and as the play advanced he did not loose his dynamics and constant humor. I enjoyed the supporting actors, since they exploded their parts and brought the play to a delightful finish, you might say that they were the frosting on the cake. I loved it!Visited July 2023Traveled with friendsWritten July 9, 2023
- Traveler6890151 contributionFun incredible play!I went with my husband. We walked around Yellowstone and found a fun place to eat and then went to the play. It was so great!! The singing was amazing!! A lot of those actors could be on broadway. I was thoroughly impressed. It was upbeat and fun! We had a blast. I am dying to go to another play there againVisited July 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten July 30, 2023
- Sheri H1 contributionThe Playmill Theater in West Yellowstone was a blast!!We loved our time spent at the Playmill theater in West Yellowstone! Worth every single penny! The show, The Foreigner, was absolutely hilarious, and the cast and crew were incredibly welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend it for anyone who is in the area!Visited August 2023Traveled with familyWritten August 3, 2023
- Braden B1 contributionMust see!!Spent my wife’s birthday in West Yellowstone and Bozeman trying to cram in as many fun activities as possible. “The Foreigner” at Playmill was by far the most memorable part of our day! So fun! The only down side is that we are now frantically trying to open our schedules to see the other 2 plays before the season ends in 3 weeks!! 112% Recommend !!Visited August 2023Traveled with familyWritten August 3, 2023

I have been going to the Playmill for years and love it! It’s such a friendly and exciting atmosphere. The actors and actresses are extremely accommodating and the energy they exhibit makes the experience that much greater! The theatre can get a little warm but other than that it’s fantastic. Will continue to come here and encourage and recommend this family fun for many years to come.

Amazing shows! Saw all 3 and such a talented cast! Joseph and the Amzing Technicolor Dreamcoat will always be my favorite and The Foreigner made me laugh until I cried! Beauty and the Beast was visually stunning! Corwin did an amazing job as Joseph and filling in as The Beast! I am looking forward to seeing what’s in store for next season and seeing the shows!!
Thanks to all the cast for being so friendly!

We've never been disappointed in a Playmill production and we've seen dozens! The talent of the players, staff, set, music, treats-it's just a joyful experience from the moment we step into the foyer.
Our latest experience was with 'Bright Eyes'. What a run through all emotions in a couple of hours. Smiling, crying, and laughing, these actors pulled out all our feelings! Loved it!

Omg so much fun! My 12-year-old
Son and I went to the play mill on a whim. We walked by it when we were walking through town and thought, we’ll this may be fun. OMG, it was sooooooo fun! The actors were ahhhhhhhmazing! We saw “Bright Star,” and I’m not sure I would have picked that specific show to see, it was what worked with our schedule and it was fantastic! My son and I got teary eyed several times and then were laughing shortly after. I can’t say enough about the actors…they were so good that I almost feel like they were celebrities. The intermission was precious as well. This is something you MUST do in West Yellowstone. We would have gone every night we were there if we could have.

Outstanding performance...very high energy! Loved the music and singing. All the participants were exceptional and very professional. We've been to several local playhouses across the country and must say, this production ranks amongst one of the best! Thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

Out from California, I had the opportunity to see Tarzan & Bright Star. Both are terrific. But if you can experience Bright Star you should. What a truly touching & entertaining performance piece done beautifully by the ensemble cast.
From the moment you sit down to your walk away, you are enveloped in theatrical care. Playmill does theatre right ! Treat yourself to these amazing people.

We have been coming to the Playmill for the last 40 years! We love the mostly family friendly shows. But, also enjoy more adult themed plays. The management and cast are outstanding and my friends and I have never left disappointed. The Playmill staff and performers go out of their way to make sure our visit is entertaining and that we leave knowing the evening was the BEST value in town. Will not come to Yellowstone without our Playmill visits! A must see!

No - It runs from the last week of May to the end of August because the actors and actresses have to go back to school to complete their acting degrees.
