Review of Center Theatre Group

I've been a subscriber to the Ahmanson for twelve years, having first seen only one show Next To Normal one Christmas (a gift from a friend) and knowing afterwards we had to get season tickets. Twelve years later, we've seen @ 72 shows. Here's what I know. This is the best theatre in the country. It draws the best of the best of the road companies, the staff at Audience Services consists of real theatre people and real human beings... "customer service" still exists. Sam, Kathleen, Richard, Christian thank you. So many shows, so little time, but I have to gush about being able to finally see Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake this year. It was life altering. Those fierce male swans representing freedom left me in tears. And so many other breathtaking theatre nights: A View From the Bridge, Sleeping Beauty, Bright Star, The Jersey Boys. Thank you CTGLA! We'll get through this quarantine & be back better than ever. Be safe.
