We are here to see The Recipe (life and times of Julia Child). They have a kitchen replica as you walk in. You can get your celebrity shot there! This play is so well written. Very tight scripting. This play is so well acted. Transitions are seamless. This play is hilarious! Next stop? New York would not surprise any of us, who came to see it. The staff at The Playhouse is so warm and welcoming. Both young and old are well taken care of. And guess what? I'm buying a subscription! You cannot beat this for local theatre. And I am comparing it to other venues in San Diego. No issues about parking. Not a bad seat in the house. I'm telling you, this play runs till almost the end of the month. Grab any seat available. Go alone if you have to. Don't miss The Recipe. With garlic, gusto and gratitude, Chef Marian San Diego & Carlsbad Foodies

We have the same experience level at the La Jolla Playhouse. The Playhouse is actually three theaters of different sizes, which are perfect for productions ranging from small cast plays to large-scale musicals. We've enjoyed several plays and musicals here. The acoustics are terrific, and the seating comfortable. The Playhouse is on the UCSD campus, and there's designated parking for the Playhouse.

I had a wonderful evening at the National Comedy Theatre. This was my first improv show ever, but…read moreas a huge Who's Line is It Anyways fan, I knew I was in for a treat. The theatre is small and tucked away near a British pub. Parking is rough on the busy streets but we found a spot in the residential area nearby. We arrived close to the start of the show, so there was not a long wait to check in. The process was quick and they sell reasonably priced popcorn and drinks in the entryway. They do open seating in the very small, intimate theater. The show started promptly and the energy was so fun. The host was high energy and both teams gave it their all. Essentially, the two teams compete against each other with the voting being done by audience cheers. I'm glad to say that the team I was rooting for won! Throughout the show, they would often invite audience participation but they do not force it on anyone, and it is all very good natured. Time flew by and there was a 15 min intermission in the middle. The bathroom is outside the theater and there were staff member standing by to direct lost patrons. At the end of the show, the cast members stood by the exit to chat, and accept congratulations and high-fives as we left. I had a great first live comedy experience at the National Comedy Theatre, and I would love to attend more of their shows in the future!

Stunning venue and they must have some magic up their sleeve because I couldn't hear the airplanes fly over which is a miracle. Those planes are so freaking loud. The bathrooms are immaculate! I would rather see a show here than the Civic. Parking is easier too than downtown by the Civic. Probably safer as well. You will get more bang for your buck at Cygnet and most likely have a better experience which is all we really want when going to the theater.

The Old Globe Theater Complex actually consists of three very separate theaters. In fact, one of those theaters is an outdoor amphitheater. Parking can be very difficult, so you will want to arrive early if you are able to do so. The Shakespeare Festival is particularly well known.

First time here at the Old Globe! The online ordering platform was wonky and annoying but my…read moreexperience here at the venue was wonderful. I picked up my ticket from the box office, wondered around the area; they have a restaurant where you can enjoy some drinks and food if you like and also your ticket gets you a discount for the Prado! I was here to watched The Hombres, which is shown in their smaller theater. It's very intimate, but even the furthest and worst seat seems good to me. I can see everything clearly and the seat was adequately comfortable.

I've been to several musicals here and the experience is always a great one…read more Last night we saw The Sound of Music. The performance was wonderful and the voices of the cast were absolutely beautiful. The theater itself is large and you can see very well. I'm not very tall and even though people were seated in front of me I had a perfect view of the stage. The seats are comfortable and the ushers are very helpful. I believe there are concession stands on every floor as well as bars where you can get soft drinks or alcoholic beverages. The concessions are quite expensive but you expect that when you're at a theater of any kind. Very easy to find parking in the area. There is a large parking structure right next to the Civic Center as well as different parking lots where you can easily just park and walk across the street to the theater. The only rule that I have seen is that you do not bring in a bag that is larger than 12 in by 12 in. You go through a back check and walk through a metal detector but that's pretty common for any type of concert as well. Inside is very comfortable and I always enjoy coming here for a performance.

I've seen several shows here in the past 3 years, and have enjoyed the lineup they offer. Most…read morerecently we saw MJ the musical which was such a great show. This being downtown San Diego of course you need to plan ahead for parking, but there are plenty of Lots nearby and walking distance, one of them that leads right into the parking lot of the theater. One of the positive aspects of being downtown is that you have plenty of options for dinner before or after the show. Of course you may want to make reservations ahead. They always offer concessions, of different alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, as well as little charcuterie board type items, and candy, Etc. Of course just like any other venue of this type, it is priced above what you would normally pay for those items. I always try to sit in the orchestra section because I feel there is more leg room, and I hate to feel cramped. The seats also seem a bit more comfortable in that section. I will say I honestly don't think you could have a bad seat in this theater though. The sound is usually fine, but I will say for Moulin Rouge I had trouble hearing what they were saying especially during the songs. I love that everyone is always so helpful when trying to find your seat, they will walk you to your section and show you exactly where you need to go, which is nice because it can get chaotic with so many people ushering in. Overall this is a great location and the shows they have are amazing. Definitely reccomend looking at the season and seeing what they have to offer, they're is usually something for everyone
