Ghost Stories Reviews

UGH!

well, at the beginning of the show theatergoers are advised that if they leave the theater for any reason, they may not be permitted back in---TAKE THIS ADVICE AND GO TO THE BATHROOM AFTER THE FIRST 5 MINUTES!! (then you won't be permitted back in to be tortured for the rest of the 80 minute "show")!!!! zzzzzzzzzzzzz----i could have taken that $160.oo for 2 tix and given it to a homeless person who could have used it more wisely!!

WASTE OF MONEY

I went to see ghost stories on April 3rd. I have to say I was highly disappointed, it was NOT scary at all, the few parts that made you laugh were just stupid funny. Glad I only paid $40 each ticket, as I say, waste of money!!

KINDA BORING AND NOT AT ALL SCARY

I thought when the show started that we might see a few documented ghost stories. There were a couple of photographs, sort of thrown in as filler and otherwise unimpressive. The acted out "stories" wouldn't scare my 80 year old grandma. The audience laughed twice but not where they were supposed to, nobody screamed. They think flashing lights and sudden loud noises will make you jump; so does a car back-firing but it doesn't mean you were scared of it. Cheap and cheesy. At least I was comped the tickets, I would have been peeved if I'd payed for them.

BORE FEST!

I expected more thrills and chills for my buck. For the money I spent on 2 tickets, I could have gone to a show stopper, award winning production such as Lion King. It was really hokey and cheesey! Save your money!

IRRITATING

A largely amateurish production. It relies on sudden loud noises to startle you. Unfortunately, all the other sound FX are far too loud as well. The stories don't go anywhere, they just plod slowly along until the next "scare", which either happens at so random a time as to be meaningless or is telegraphed so far in advance as to lose its power. I heard lots of laughs—sometimes in response to deliberate comedy—but few screams. There's a clumsy attempt to weave everything together with a theme of guilt, but it's inconsistent and misses the mark. The way the three stories fit into the main story is underdeveloped. Too much time is spent watching a powerpoint lecture. Also, for some reason, there are no female characters. The one thing I liked about the show was the sets. They are minimalistic but very atmospheric. If the rest of the show had followed suit, I might have actually been scared.

NOT VERY GOOD

Horrible. Not scary. Don't waste your money. Don't bother reading any (fake) "reviews" on any of the show's official pages--they are HEAVILY moderated and anything even REMOTELY negative gets promptly deleted. Thank God I found this place where people can leave their HONEST opinions and don't get deleted. Lame.

YEAH, BECAUSE 98% OF THE GROSS MAJORITY ARE "IDIOTS"..LOL

Looks like the members of the "Ghost Stories" team found this place and set their cronies up to leave themselves good reviews... I'd like to ask how 98% of the entire reviewing population can be "idiots" if they agree that this show was disappointing as all hell and overrpriced amateur crap? Please. The only "idiots" are those who actually think this can pass as even partially acceptable theater. If anyone HONESTLY thinks that, they need to get out more and see some "real" live theater shows....
