What did our critic think of SHE LOVES ME at The Royal Theatre?

The Royal Players present 'SHE LOVES ME' at the Historic Royal Theatre in Benton, AR from February 15-25, 2024. Don't miss this charming and romantic musical comedy with an old-world elegance.

I have always loved Footloose the movie (the first one), so seeing Luke Ferguson resemble the looks and moves of Kevin Bacon was so much fun. Honestly, it’s as if a young Kevin jumped out of the movie and landed on stage.

The Historic Royal Theatre will bring FOOTLOOSE to the stage in 2024, performed by the Young Players Second Stage.

A Christmas Story, written by Phillip Grecian and directed by Matthew Burns, comes to the Royal Theatre at 111 S. Market Street, Benton, Arkansas December 7-17th. 

If the multi award-winning TV drama Succession taught us anything, it’s that no one can take Brian Cox’s place. Fans of the Scottish actor will be pleased to know that he commands centre stage – with Logan Roy-esque verve – in Trevor Nunn’s The Score, a new play by actor-playwright OIiver Cotton at Theatre Royal Bath.
