    Very nice theater, well kept, smaller venue. Parking is good, get there early though. One note, the hill is steep from parking lot to theater front door.

    Can I just say WOW! The Bristol Riverside Theater never disappoints! My family and I saw The Nice List on Saturday afternoon. The show is an updated story of Christmas that everyone should see. The caliber of the actors, singing, music and set were all Broadway worthy. By far the best show I've seen all year! As everyone was leaving and heading home, other attendees could not stop talking about how wonderful this show was. Please bring it back next year!
