San Jose Stage Company Review

Absolutely amazing shows - brilliant actors and a very unique theatrical experience. The theater and only 5 rows of seats so it is almost like an immersion theatre. We will be back!

Great shows for the price and a very intimate stage

Love the place! Always great experience, high level of performance.

We saw Evil Dead the musical here. It was amazing, the venue was intimate and the cast was awesome.

Pretty good production of Mama Mia. Sofie was a bit off key sometimes. Donna was pretty good. Sam also. Only draw back was I expected a comedy, which it was but they inserted gratuitous racy parts that did almost nothing for the story. Made it uncomfortable for family. The extras that changed the scene were really good.

Cute local theatre with good quality shows. Street parking.

Great small theater, I saw a wonderful performance of "Adios Mama Carlota". Will definitely being going back to see other shows.

Such a great little intimate place for stages shows!!!

Great Experience! Watched Fool For Love and absolutely had a great experience!

The talent here is off the charts. How lucky we are to have been season ticket holders for years and years. No matter what the play is, from drama to comedy to musical, they put on an excellent show!

Great little theatre - all seats have a good view of the stage and nice little outdoor bar (not sure if it's seasonal). It's small enough that you feel part of the show

Intimate seating and performances. I was very impressed and had a great time. Not a bad seat in the house.

Great little intimate place. I went to see Mama Mia tonight and I had the best time. We are close to the stage and the performers. We can see the musicians and the all experience was really fun and lovely. Will come back for sure!

Mama Mia was spectacular! What a fun and beautifully done production !! Go see it while you still can.

Very good place to go for a Broadway-style theatre experience

Intimate theatre, great sight lines from center and sides. Would be 5 stars if seats were recushioned. Friendly staff and volunteers. Go see live theatre!

Fabulous interactive shows here. Absolutely loved Evil Dead and Rocky Horror!

Very cozy place, friendly staff, the scenario is designed to make you feel like you are in the play and close to the actors. I strongly recommend it.

Mama Mia was excellent, a real crowd pleaser. Ready to see it again with friends.

Black box theater space, small enough that every seat gets a great view. I saw Sweeney Todd there and it was very professionally done. Bravo!

Saw Rocky Horror Picture Show. This is an excellent small venue for any play. There not a bad seat in the house.

We have seen the last 5 seasons of plays at the SJ Stage. Everyone has been fantastic - the acting, direction and sets are always superb, and we have thoroughly enjoyed every performance. Anyone who enjoys plays should catch a show at the Stage, or better yet, buy a season - dinner and a great play makes for the best date night!

San Jose Stage is vibrant, exciting theater that is always worth the time and effort.

We saw Rocky Horror picture show.. so awesome! Cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing

Im just getting ready for work .sounds like fun though i would definitely like to check this place out

I really really like San Jose Stage. I have been attending plays here for years and I am very impressed with the quality of the works and the choices. They have been putting on very sophisticated and high quality productions. I attend a lot of theater in both San Francisco and Berkeley and New York and I am very impressed with San Jose Stage. Plus it is a great theater. There isn't a bad seat in the house and the size allows for a very intimate feel. And everyone there is so determined to please from the artistic director who goes out of his way to make sure the performances are terrific to the incredibly nice staff and volunteers who make you feel so lucky to be there. San Jose is very fortunate to have such a wonderful theater group!

I went to see RFK at The Stage Theatre. Unfortunately, it was FREEZING COLD in the theater and my friend and I were so uncomfortable that we left at intermission. The play was good but seeing the first half was enough for me.

We saw Evil Dead here tonight and it was amazing! Hilarious, and the performers were really talented. I m not a huge fan of musicals but had a great time.

Went there while visiting the valley for a play and we quite impressed. The venue's seating was comfortable and all seat have a good view. The performance itself was also of very high quality. Will definitely look this up again next time I am in town for a nice evening out. Location is also quite convenient, just a few streets away from many bars and restaurants to hang out or have a meal after performance. Highly recommended.

Went to see the Toxic Avenger here and it was brilliant. Great music and fantastic cast. It's a small theatre with good sloping between the rows so you can easily see over heads. As other's have said there aren't really any bad seats though I think the far left or right would be my last choice. Alcohol and limited range of chocolatey snacks ans nuts available.

Fool for love is an excellent play. It lasts 70 minutes but the time passes so quick due to the amazing story and dialogues. Even though the stage is pretty small, the director did a great job setting it up and utilizing it effectively. In general, the theater is small but it feels so cozy and private - I love that vibe. The actors are all amazing. They are full of passion and you can tell that a lot of hard work preparing this play was necessary. I'll certainly come back - what a great reminder how awesome some real art is.

Small intiment venue, creative sets and top notch acting.

Excellent performance of Chicago - great performances!

Wonderful space! Very talented group of professional staff and artists!

Every seat is great. Variety of shows, something for everyone.

Watched Evil Dead the Musical here and it was super fun. The grooviness was there, the actors were super fun and the camp was amazing. They had 4th wall breaks and we totally loved it. I haven't laughed this hard in a long time and I definitely got an ab workout from it. Even the blood splatter they had was super fun and it was a great first musical to the new year.

The only gripe I would have is during some portions of the singing the music was a little loud and it would drown out their voices. Other than that the show was epic.

We have been members here for several years now. They never fail to disappoint. Their season consists of usually 4 shows and a summer musical. The plays range from classics like "Death of a Salesman" to some contemporary pieces like "RFK" which was a monologue and amazing, to some other more risque subject matter like in "Wild Nights". They also have a summer musical. Two of my favorites have been "Toxic Avenger" and "Aadams Family". The year is a small production so if you go and like it consider becoming a season ticket holder. They are reasonably priced and you would be supporting local art in your community. The theater itself is small and only has a really tiny lot so get the a little early to get street parking. The is usually intermission. It is easier to just bring cash if you want to buy a drink. Summer Musical is up next and will be "Hedwig and the Angry Itch".

This place was cute and clean. The food was delicious. The price was good also

Excellent performances! We enjoyed every single play!...and we go there for years. The latest musical "Chicago" is "must see" also...

I've seen two shows from this company and it's amazing!!! Must watches.

Great place for watching a performance in a great atmosphere. I will always go back

Great performance. Small theater, so every seat is close to the stage. Fabulous drinks before, during, & after the show. Plus food offered after the show.

Love this wonderful community theater, great shows and actors.

Good performance and production of Sweeny Todd, except for terrible amplification. Loud volumes and high voices at any volume had terrible IM distortion. Lyrics were not understandable. I will not return because of the amplification problems.

Great small theater. No bad seats. Avant garde productions.

SJ Stage has a nice intimate space, and their productions are worth seeing. The prices are reasonable, and so are the offerings of refreshments. I usually attend a couple of shows a season.

Nice little theater, amazing shows! Concessions seem a little stale and the seats are a bit cramped. Other than that, it s totally worth checking out!

Just had a wonderful time here with my sister watching the stellar cast of "Bonnie & Clyde." Of course, I was predisposed to like the musical, since my name is in the title ;-). I was pleasantly surprised how strong the signing was and how riveting the production was. Kudos to all involved!

Great local theater with an intimate atmosphere between the audience and actors.

This small theater has dark, edgy plays and fun musicals. It seems they can do it all. And very well.

Great show, very nice theatre. Will definitely come back.

Amazing shows with professional actors right in the heart of San Jose

Small, intimate live theater with compelling productions.

Excellent theater; constantly innovative, entertaining and reliably professional

Went to a friend's performance here. Rocky horror. Loved it - they had special lighting effects. :-)

Excellent community theatre. I have attended several of their musical productions with my teenage son. The theatre is surprisingly small- you're seated in an ampitheatre with the stage right below you and the front row is even with the stage. There are definitely no bad seats. They offer a small selection of concessions outside which are allowed inside the theatre. Restrooms available. Located at the South-most end of downtown, there are coffee shops, bars and restaurants galore for 2 entire blocks immediately to the north and on adjoining blocks, as well as several nightclubs. 7pm shows make for a great evening out.

Saw a great production of Sweeney Todd here a couple of weekends ago. Fantastic direction and great use of a small space!

Very near the sofa district in San Jose so it was easy to grab dinner before the show. I thought that $15 was a little steep for their parking lot especially as there is a lot of nearby convenient street parking that is also an option. Also a surprisingly large women's restroom for such a small space. I was pleasantly surprised, though I didn't visit during intermission or after the show so not sure how crowded it might get.

Lovely venue. The venue is quite small so it turns the show into a truly personal experience. The staff was fun and friendly. The venue was easy to find. Parking may be a bit of a struggle, I ended up walking from a few blocks away but the neighborhood was bustling and felt safe.

Professional, cutting edge, innovative live theatre!

Excellent local small theater. Not a bad seat in the house.

Small local theater that delivers outstanding acting in a very intimate place.

Pretty cool venue, nice seats and personable staging...I mean, who doesn't want to see an Evil Dead musical?

Wonderful venue for live theater. Recently attended a production of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd. Enjoyed it immensely.

Always top talent productions, every time! I've seen Avenue Q, Hedwig, and Evil Dead and can't wait for the next one.

Just attended an excellent performance of Sweeney Todd. Amazing what they are able to do with their small stage.

We did go and see Mamma Mia the musical and it was Great ! Little intimate, small and nice theater with a very talented cast. Let's support our local actors and actresses and appreciate all the talent they have!

San Jose Stage productions never disappoint. June 2019's Mamma Mia! is fast-paced, lively, and made extra special by a talented house band.
