Coca Village Playhouse is a must see Gem!
The Historic Cocoa Village Playhouse is an absolute GEM! Beautifully restored and comfortable to see a fantastic show. I have gone to 10 or more shows over the years, and I do not even live in Brevard County! Sunday, I saw "The Music Man" and it was very energetic and beautifully cast. The cast could definitely sing! What a terrific show. Costumes were amazing, and set design was professional. Always enjoyed the shows at the Cocoa Village Playhouse!

Amazing Production, Talent, and COVID- Savvy
The 97-year-old building may get top billing on a map, but the real treasure is what happens on AND off the stage of this historic theater. My wife and I hadn't watched live theater anywhere since the start of the COVID-19 era. Having a background in community theater, I was feeling "the itch" to see a live production somewhere, so I booked a show while on vacation. First of all, to produce the quality of the musical "Newsies" in these pandemic times with only two months of rehearsals is phenomenal. Furthermore, rehearsal schedule spanned Christmas Break and the vast majority of its cast members were under 18. Live orchestra played magnificently beneath the stage. The sound, lighting, and stage design were superb. We plan on making a 5 hour round trip from the Tampa area for another show next year. BRAVO!!!!!
