Came here yesterday for a dance performance and was shocked at how poorly this place has been…read moremaintained - as the reviewers below mentioned, there was a rancid scent of urine wafting through the walls (obvious it hasn't been cleaned in years). Secondly, the untidy bathroom (which doubles as a maintenance closet) had no sink, but a bathtub that splattered water all over the guests who dared to wash their hands. The plastic, bucket chairs were also incredibly uncomfortable, and the quality of the sound system reminded me of a boom box from the 90s. The cherry on top was the burly "property manager" hovering over the parking lot, red-faced and hurling insults indiscriminately to the incoming families. Coming here was a sad sight - this venue hasn't been properly maintained and it painstakingly shows. Book somewhere where your guests can leave feeling like their entire gamut of senses has not been assaulted.

As a LONG time resident of La Canada, I've been to this auditorium for MANY things: Girl Scouts,…read moremusical performance, and plays. The wooden chairs aren't that bad to sit in. Of course the closer you sit to the stage, the better your view. The middle section is definitely my preference. The lobby area can get very crowded. During Girl Scout activities, we usually serve food outside towards the back where there are some tables with metal seats. We've even had food near the entrance/lobby area where there's shade from the heat. Parking can be challenging so we ALWAYS came early so that we could park in their lot. There is street parking, but even that can be challenging.

Pasadena Playhouse. Brigadoon. If you're considering…read morespending your hard-earned time and money at the Pasadena Playhouse, do yourself a favor: skip opening night. Wait for the unbiased reviews to trickle in before committing to their latest offerings, because if Brigadoon is the current standard, the bar hasn't just been lowered--it's been buried. Wednesday's opening night was, to put it bluntly, a stinker. We arrived with open minds and tempered expectations; we weren't looking for a Gene Kelly reincarnation or a Broadway-scale miracle. We understand the constraints of regional theater. However, what we witnessed was so profoundly lackluster that it felt less like a professional production and more like a mediocre college workshop. The "Highland" Lowlights: * Atrocious Casting: With the sole exception of Betsy Morgan--who possessed the only singing and dancing chops worthy of the material--the casting was a disaster. * Cultural Caricature: The premise of Brigadoon relies on a town preserved in time to protect its Scottish heritage. Why, then, was this cast like a generic Disney Channel original movie? The "Scottish" culture on display was a cringeworthy caricature reminiscent of a Mike Myers sketch. In a city like Los Angeles, home to thousands of versatile actors, is authenticity really that hard to find? * Anemic Energy: The choreography was limp, and the vocal performances were consistently weak. The sound system was so quiet it felt like a mercy killing; perhaps turning it up would have provided the "punch" the performers so desperately lacked. I cannot remember the last time I saw a professional audience flee after only a few scenes. We endured the first half, but left at intermission. It was simply that unbearable. While the Pasadena Playhouse relies on the generosity of donors to stay afloat, one has to wonder: is there any quality control left? Or is the current mode of operation simply to shovel substandard content at a captive audience? Thank God we aren't trapped in this version of Brigadoon for a hundred years. 45 minutes was more than enough.
