If you're looking for your toddler to do something and live nearby, I recommend. It's cute. I wish there was something more long term for them with adaptation of this class. This place is more performance based rather than being overly competitive. We do come from a very competitive background, but we are taking a break and decided to try this out before our move. It seems like a fine studio.

We loved the dance program at The Music Room but were disappointed in the two Show Biz Kids…read moremusicals we did there. The classes are huge, which gives everyone less stage time than feels reasonable given the financial and time commitment that the shows take. The casting for kids with speaking roles is handled poorly and casting is sometimes clearly based on grade level and family/friend relationships within the studio. We like the dance program at TMR but we now do theater elsewhere.

My sister and I went here to see "Man of La Mancha". Although the marquee and lobby looks dated,…read more the interior of the theater was clean and the seats were comfortable and looks newly upolstered. It is the size of a movie theater with a closeup setting to view the performance. No binoculars needed and there are no obstructed views. I was unsure if it was the audio or the actors but some of the dialog and performance was difficult to understand. Some of the spoken performance was muffled or slurred when the actors would speak in a lowered soft voice. My favorite performance was from the actor who played Dulcinea. She enunciated clearly during her dialog and sang beautifully. It even moved me when she sang Dulcinea. I heard a boy at the show of the show say when exiting "Let's see it again!" I would too.

Theatre in the Heart of Orange County…read more Culturize and Familiarize yourself with the OC. The OC is the best place to live and small community based artsy venues with great talent bring entertainment to your footstep. A small forum with great talent really places every seat in the house as a good one. Chapman's Waltmar Theatre is vibrant and blossoming with talent. The theatre is a great option for localites to see shows, musicals and more. Yes, it is open to the public for shows. I have had nothing but positive experiences here. A few years back I even had the pleasure of seeing, in person, Supreme Justice Scalia. Overall, this is a great piece of Orange for locals to experience up and coming talent. It is a value and you can get to see great shows for reasonable prices. You can check their website for current shows, times, and prices. I am a fan! Waltmar Theatre, Orange..another reason the OC is the best place to liive!

This is my second time visiting the Waltmar Theater…read more I do love visiting college shows. In my own biased and ignorant world, I think college theatre offers more "art" than the professional world. Don't get me wrong - I love the big shows in the big theaters, too -- but it's like watching an indie film -- it's just very very good in a very very different way. The Chapman University Theatre Arts does not disappoint. The last show I saw was "The Taming of the Shrew". It was very well done with superb acting and we very much enjoyed the show. I also saw "Urinetown" on Thursday and I was equally, if not more, impressed. The quality of work that happens in this theater is absolutely spectacular. Every season bring something interesting and unique - and I wait in anticipation every year to see what Chapman has in store for myself and for my students. Parking under the football field is probably your best bet. A three-hour temporary parking permit is $3.00 and can be obtained from one of those parking permit machines using cash or credit card. Then, it's a quick 3-minute walk to the Waltmar theater. I strongly urge your attendance at this theater. There's some unbelievable quality-work that's going on here.

Obviously all together. The prices are fair, the cotton candy, candies, drinks, popcorn, omg can't wait to see them again. It was the first time bringing my grandchildren and they loved the circus. My grand kid was amazed with the girls trapecist, he was like hypnotized and said wow they are beautiful looking at them in the air. I highly recommend this circus, if they are by your city, you get to go.

Granted this play is ending but yet each and every single actor gave their absolute best performance! I was truly blown away! From the main actors to the background all of them gave outstanding performances. Bravo all!! I have lived in Garden Grove for 3 decades, my family owned the coffee shop on Main Street and I have never stepped foot inside this theater, but now I will be back over and over again! This year they will be performing Sweeney Todd and Fiddler on The Roof and I am in for it! I hope next year's plays are amazing too!! Can't wait to see the lineup!! Get your tickets today!!!

Everyone but drunks will love Circus Vargas…read more They don't serve beer, and there were NO animals, which is okay considering a) the animals usually seem depressed, beaten, or sick; and b) there was considerably less animal feces smell. Basically it was all Stupid Human Tricks. Half of it was the kind of stuff you'd see on the Venice Boardwalk, but here you didn't have to avoid eye contact or run away when the collection bucket came around. The acrobatics in the sky weren't too amazing for adults (basic stuff, especially considering what the kind of flips I myself can do in Tekken 3), but the surprise twist on the classic motorcycle ball was exciting, and the gymnastic work showed so much stamina and strength (both in solo artists and the group of pirates who became a reverse human pyramid) it made you think "Whoa, I could never do that!" and "Ouch!" The guy balancing things on his chin was pretty cool, and the most thrilling was the guy in the rotating hamster wheel thing. He ate his babies, too, which was weird. (not really) I think the most applause went to the Asian dude who looked like the guy who electrocutes Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon I. He did this crazy spinning clickety-clacky percussion thing with highspeed clacker balls, and was inches away from being a featured Americas Funniest Home Nutcracks. Thankfully there weren't a bunch of annoying clowns- just one, a silent one with a whistle, who did a few acts with audience participation. His acts were crowd-pleasing. And by crowd pleasing I mean there were no bony elephants coughing on us. By the way, Bony Elephants Coughing are playing Coachella 2017. Anyway, nothing was really lame, although the six bulging (in more ways than one) pirates made me uncomfortable because they chased one girl around making me think, "University of Virginia: the Musical". I thought the production values were pretty cool, particularly the Candyman in Glasses ringmaster who retreated to a Sheila E type percussion module, technically never leaving stage. For the price of a 3D movie, I think it's a really good value, and you don't need the glasses. A bonus was the chance to pose with a big boa snake at intermission for $10 (you buy one AND you can take your own). Or for $5 you can pose with me- basically the same thing.

Overall thought it was good for the price. My kids had a good time. I liked that there weren't any…read moreanimals at the show. I also thought all of the stuff they did was pretty impressive. We got our tickets through Groupon.
