Another fantastic performance of Dr. Suess's How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Really enjoyed the show. Actors were top notch & make us want to return year after year. About 1 hour & 15 minutes, no intermission. Comfortable seats, easy to see stage from just about anywhere in the theatre. Light bites ...

A small theater that hold at most 5-6 hundred. We saw arms and the man. A eight cast English comedy that had me crying I was laughing so hard.

A must do on a San Diego trip

Even seats at the...

My wife and I went to see How the Grinch Stole Christmas for the first time, is a very nice theater and not too big, which made it feel real cozy and all but guarantees a good seat anywhere you sit. The sound is really good and location is in the heart of scenic Balboa Park. I recommend you take i...

This is a great venue to watch theater. We were close to the top of the seating, and still had a great view. In fact, because there were many seats available, the ushers told us we could move forward, but our view was already so good we chose to stay in our seats.

I've seen two plays at The Old Globe, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Dec 2017) and The Importance of Being Earnest (Feb 2018), and I thoroughly enjoyed both! The tickets were reasonably priced, I saw the Importance of Being Earnest for only $30!
I just saw The Importance of Being Earnest on Valen...

I and my mother came to see Familiar on the final night it played...it was SPECTACULAR! The old Globe has been doing a lot of community outreach and sharing of the arts with REAL San Diegans, not just the rich, older, non-ethnic people that it once seemed only to cater to(not that there's anything w...

I watched a show in every section. There are no bad seats. Parking can be challenging especially during daylight hours. I recommend arriving at least an hour before. The Prado restaurant and other eateries are within short walking distance.

My wife and I went to a play here called Familiar that was written by Danai Gurira of The Walking Dead. I'm not normally a play person but this one was really, really good. The actors and actresses did a great job. I highly recommend this to anyone.

Globe outdoor stage Shakespeare Festival "Romeo and Juliet." Barry Edelstein blew the doors off! Fabulous show. Really made it very accessible to a wide range audience. The staging and the interpolation of contemporary music made the script bold and alive. A must see. A wonderful way to spend a San...

What an absolute treat in Balboa Park. We had a chance to get the family together from around the country and we stayed a few days in San Diego. My one daughter is at the Actors Studio in NY and I wanted to sneak in a play while we were on vacation. No one, including my other daughter who lives in S...

We have had season tickets for several years. It is true that there are no bad seats. All plays are very well acted and have great scenery - some of the best I've seen. Some have gone on to Broadway, some have bombed. But that's theater. You take the good with the not so good. Last season (201...

San Diego's Old Globe has always been the best live theater venue in the city. The first play I saw here was Rhapsody Blues by Arthur Miller. Legendary experience.

Lately there have been several off Broadway shows that have come through and San Diego's actually staged a number of plays that origi...

Saw the Lorax tonight. Of course the political rehtoric infects the show. Can t we even enjoy a play with out bashing president Trump. This killed it for me, would not recommend if you don t want to hear about politics. Waste of money.

The Old Globe is one of my favorite theaters I've been to. The atmosphere is great and staff tends to be super friendly. I've seen the Grinch there, as well as two Pig Pen Theatre Co productions which were all amazing. Additionally, they host special events for people with autism that prevent shows ...

When walking around the Balboa Park, The Old Globe grabbed my attention right away. Couldn't help it to keep walking that direction to check out the beautiful building!

It turns out it is a theater. It is not a big venue, small but intimate. What a beautiful architecture!!
