We didn't go to the theater but we went to the Diamond Belle Saloon. There is live music at night and the musician was great! Funny, kept everyone laughing! Great song list perfect for singing along! The drinks are a little pricey but they are made from scratch and the bartender sure knows what he's doing! The waitresses wear a dance hall costume, very touristy and fun!

We visited the theater on Nov 16th to see Dustbowl Revival Band. The tickets were very reasonable, the house was packed and the entertainment was rockin' good. Everyone had a terrific evening, and the dance floor was packed! Drawbacks are that the seating is first-come, first served. It was not easy to securet a table for four. Although the tickets were inexpensive, the drinks were not. We paid $19.00 for three drinks, and although this seemed like alot, it would not discourage us from returning.

Brilliant. We saw The Rocky Horror Show and it was just great. Everybody were singing along and most people were dresses up.

The food was poor. The service and atmosphere was excellent, but the food was so below average, we did not eat it

We had the dinner and show. Dinner was very good value for the money although I prefer the regular restaurat menu. the vaudeville type show definately had it's humerous and sometimes slapstick moments. The actors were well versed in their parts and seemed to enjoy their time on stage. The cost for supper and the show for two was $88.40 which is about the most reasonable cost for a night of entertainment that one could ask for.

We purchased the dinner and show package. Show was funny, corny and light hearted. Ran a little long however- over 2 hrs.

The show is a vaudeville style. The story is hokey, but a lot of fun. It did start off a little slow but really picked up. I thought the actors were very talented. I would definitely recommend it if you are in Durango

A good old fashion type of fun. The cast is great with a lot of inner actting with the audience. If you go get the dinner package. One of the best steaks I`ve had.

We saw the Dame of Durango melodrama and vaudeville. I have to admit, I think it's hilarious when actors in a melodrama get so into the moment they crack themselves up... that happened a few times during this show. It tells me they were enjoying themselves. They were talented and I definitely enjoyed the acting and singing.The theater itself is small and we had box seats which means we were literally in a box separated from the rest of the folks. Had the box been full, it would have been extremely cramped. I can't imagine paying $30 to be cramped like that. Luckily, we had the box to ourselves, so it was worth the money we paid. The theater staff was friendly, and you can use the server or get your own refreshments from the bar. It's interesting really.

The melodrama is great fun, the performers really get into their roles. This is a reasonably priced show and a fun, fun evening!

Great show from a talented group of actors. Funny from start to finish. The best evening we've had since we arrived in colorado. This is a show you have to see if you're visiting durango.

Go the Melodrama and Vaudville show if you get the chance. A fun evening in a wonderful old theatre. Really enjoyed the show and the cast was great. A great evening especially if you combine with the dinner deal at the Mahogany Grill (next door).

We decided to attend the drama at the last minute. What fun we had getting to ahhh, boo, hiss, with the audience. Lots of laughter was part of our evening.

I have been coming to Durango for 40 years and each time I come to a melodrama at The Strater Hotel. It is always a wholesomee,fun, great evening for all. It is sure something to see and experience at least once.

Seating was a bit cramped and tables are small but we had a decent view of the stage and the show turned out to be pretty good. Unfortunately I wasn't feeling well and that probably took a little away from my visit but I think the show is worth a visit. Actors did a good job.
