What a fantastic show and a fun night! All of the artists are incredibly talented and so entertaining. I found myself singing along in my head, (no one wants to hear me sing!) tapping my foot and saying, “Incredible!” after every song. The band was amazing as well. I have never seen a musician play the piano AND trumpet at the same time and do it so well! I highly recommend visiting The Music Box Theater although please save me a seat next to the band because I will not be missing their upcoming performances!

Fabfrigentastic Broadway At The Box 2022 show!!!!!!!!! Rebekah was her usual outstanding self. A great performer. B rad was of course Brad. He is one of the funniest people I know.Kristina was her absolute fantastic self at tonight's performance. Luke, do not ask him who is father is, because it is not "Darth Vader"! Luke's performance is always a tremendous adventure. Cay, hmmm, how to describe Cay? The funniest thing about Cay is the way she talks about her "cat". Cay is an outstanding performer. Her music and wit are top notch. Of course, you cannot forget to talk about the outstanding band members! Pat makes sure everything about the show is perfect. Mark plays a real mean guitar.
Long Le, the ladies man, plays the bass. Arthur is the drummer and man can he play. Austin is the keyboard master. Each new show is another example of why they continue to be number 1 in Houston for outstanding entertainment. Beer and wine are available plus sodas and water. Great snackies also. Since the shows change every few months, you need to order your tickets in advance. Reserved seating is available along with general admission seats. Once you experience these fabfrigentastic people, you will find yourself coming back again, again and again!

I would give The Music Box a rating of 10 stars if I could! The group continues to put on high quality and entertaining shows and their current show is one of the best I have seen. Simply put, their 10th Anniversary show is fantastic! The passion and enjoyment that the cast and band for what they do and to entertain their guests really shows. Their singing and voices are incredible, they give it their all. And their facial expressions and quick with with one another are the best! The band members are so talented and can play anything. We can't wait to see more of their shows!
If you are looking for an evening of quality and fun entertainment by a group of professionals who really appreciate their guests, in a casual setting, that is affordable then look no further than The Music Box. You will be glad that you did.

Our group of three couples purchased reserve seating at The Music Box Theater for the 2019 New Year's Eve show. The show was a review of their 2019 shows and we found the entertainment excellent. There program was a variety show style with some serious music, some music with a little levity added and some very good comedy skits put in. We finished the evening with counting the New Year in and a few dances lead with good music from the band.
To the cast, excellent show; to the band, great job; to the support staff, thanks for making it easy in a crowded venue to get drinks, dinner and the busing.

Always a blast. A fun, great time with songs new and old and always entertaining. We go see just about every show they perform and really enjoy it despite driving 40 miles each way.

Since I am a subscriber, I received U Tube emails with CoroTunes which was a great way to be entertained! Last Sunday was the first performance since they had to stop performing in person due to the virus. Every safety rule was applied. Had my temperature taken before going in, seating was appropriately spaced out. The audience wore masks. There was no intermission, no food served. The talent is just wonderful. Luke opened with Neil Diamond's "Hello", how appropriate is that. I hope they will be able to have more performances, it is such a nice break! I recommend everyone signs up to receive their emails to keep up with them and go see them when it's possible!

If you are looking to be thoroughly entertained and uplifted, then RUN, don't walk, to The Music Box. It doesn't matter which show it is, or how many times you go to see it. It will be a great time, with you smiling all the way home. I am always amazed that without set design and with minimal props, Rebecca, Brad, Cay, Luke and Kristina can make you feel you are seeing a full production show worthy of praise. Individually they are incredibly gifted, each having their own style which they communicate verbally and with their remarkable facial expressions. Together, well, they are a powerful group that clearly loves what they do, and loves that they do it together. The musicians are always top notch too. What a fun evening!

We had the most amazing evening here with a private birthday show! It was a surprise with our family and many friends. The cast was just incredible & incorporated many facts about us along with our favorite music. It was one of our most incredible times ever!

The entire team from the actors, the band , Pat in the lighting booth, relatives and loved ones manning the bar & the box office come together for every show to make you feel warm incredibly welcome and completely entertained..... They never fail 💖

Yes, there is a small concession stand that sells soft drinks, bottled water, beer, and wine. They also have pub mix, cookies, and occasionally other snacks and candies.

My sincere apologies for not noticing your question. I am certain the opportunity has passed to visit us, but for the future...We are not a theater who gears itself for children, but we are "family friendly". I would say what we do would be PG-13. Hope that helps you and thanks for asking.

Jeans are ok... business casual is as dressy as you would want. Coat and tie is probably overdressed but nobody will object

Is there a good place to eat around the theater

There are a number of restaurants in the Kirby/Richmond area. Some are even walking distance from the theater. For afterward, there is the House of Pies as Gordon mentioned and in a strip center across Richmond, the Dessert Gallery is perfect for a late-night snack.

There are plenty of places near the Music Box. The one I like is The House of Pies on Kirby is not far. It is a nice place with good food and a Strawberry Cheese Cake that will know your socks off.
