Long Beach Playhouse - Studio Theatre (Long Beach, CA)
An American classic, this romantic comedy by award-winning playwright William Inge inspired the 1956 film starring Marilyn Monroe. When a raging snowstorm blows into a Kansas town, eight unlikely strangers become stranded overnight in a bus stop diner. Over the course of the night, the eight strangers realize that each has something to learn about life, love and -- most of all -- themselves.

The Play was absolutely wonderful. I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. The entire cast did a wonderful job and the charactars they played were so believable. I went the day before closing night. I wish I could of went sooner as I would have invited more guests to see the play. I really enjoyed the show and would have definetely seen it again and again.
Great show and great cast. Not a bad seat in the house.
Everyone in the theatre really enjoyed it!
The cast was fantastic, the set design was quaint, and the overall experience was unforgettable. Had it still been running, I would have returned a second time to enjoy again. Terrific production.
The storyline was really good. I enjoyed all the characters. It was a cute romantic comedy which all characters had something in common. I would love to see it again. Nice size theatre, all seats were good.
Bus Stop was very enjoyable, the acting was really good too.
The SET is FANTASTIC and the cast--even down to the smallest parts is great! The lead guy is very handsome and well built! I especially liked the guitar music--it was wonderful to have an actor who could really play the guitar in the part--and he even acted well!
Great cast for a sweet, touching show. Never saw the film version so can't compare, but this was a great character study with its funny moments too.
Gave these tickets to a friend, and they highly enjoyed it.
I enjoy going to the Long Beach Playhouse. The Studio Theater has an intimate feeling and comfortable seating. I liked this production, although I thought the pacing was off. Each character seemed to pause too long in responses, making it somewhat stilted. I thought the standouts were the actresses that played Cherie and Elma. I look forward to seeing more productions there, so thanks to Goldstar for supporting the Playhouse and arranging the discounts.
The show was almost perfect. Two or three times, an actor or actress would flub his/her lines, but all-in-all, it was very entertaining. Thanks, Goldstar, for having this service.
Entertaining, but, a bit over the top. Casting was strange...the 21 year old main charactor was played by a not-so-youthful balding actor. Good set design.
This was a cute play. Not the greatest but enjoyable. The cast was superb and well cast. Good for a few laughs and a good time.
It was lovely. My friend cried twice. Excellent fight scene.
Cute theater and fun show.
A very nice show.
