The Great American Melodrama and Vaudeville Theatre Review

Love TGAM! Great family friendly shows and the cast/crew is always on point.

Steel Magnolias was done really well. Six excellent actors, wow!

My fiance and I had a blast! We saw Less Miserable and laughed the entire time.

WOW! What an excellent show... All the cast were superb, very funny and I loved every little bit of it... there was not one dull moment in the entire act. i loved the rips they performed making fun of many celebrities and including todays songs and raps in their skit. The singing was excellent.. They had my favorite beer (Angry Orchard) but would like to see some liqueur so i could have a Washington Apple. Popcorn was good. i was surprised when we got to our table, they are small as hell.. lol.. but was fine. The actors are even the bartenders and served you food singing a lovely tune with every tip.. Great staff, Great show.. will go back again and again every time i'm in Pismo. I would like to thank all the actors for their great job

you can never go wrong by going to the Great American Melodrama when you visit, there is search on very flimsy paper products which becomes a challenge once you leaves that designated area and enter into the lobby where there's a lot of people that's only my opinion I've learned from the past to not go there with appetite that's my opinion but their popcorn is well worth it.

Papa Pia is hysterical!!! Go see it, you will love it.

I've only seen the christmas shows but they are hilarious and always changing. A lot of my family has seen many of these other shows and from what I've heard they are super funny.

Our family always has a great time at the Great American Melodrama! Especially when we get our favorite bench seats! Tonite was "Baskerville" and it was so hilarious..we loved it and as always the acting is superb!

The show was great and so hilarious. So glad we went to see it. A girl at a winery in Arroyo Grande told us about it. Thanks.

As a first time experience, I had an absolutely awesome time. I wasn't expecting to laugh as much as I did. I was in tears with giggle fits. Such a great atmosphere. The performers were amazing and interacted with the crowd to a level that let you know that they were not taking themselves too seriously. Would recommend to anyone for a good time. Fair prices. Definitely got my monies worth.

This has become a beloved family tradition each Christmas.

One of the best evenings of entertainment ever. Try to go all the time.

A unique experience that everyone should try. You may just love it! I did. I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

So so much fun. I love this place. We bought season tickets.

We stopped on a road trip for the Scary Poppins show and were delighted! What a fun cast and great little theater.

This is a favorite for my family. Go check it out. You will leave with a smile on your face and your cheeks may hurt from laughing hard.

Great performers and friendly service in a nice casual atmosphere

Been twice before and loved it. Totally disappointed in Karaoke Kid. Putting a new spin on the melodrama didn't work for us. We left at first intermission. Waste of $100 for 4 tickets.

It was amazing!!! The actors are hilarious, you don't want it to end!!!

We have been going to the Meldrama at least once a year and we highjy recommend it for young and old. If you like theatre you'll love the Melodrama.

Catered the Holiday Extravaganza for Phil's Catering.

Loved the Christmas show at the Melodrama. Highly recommend going to see it. It's a great show. Haven't laughed so much in a while while watching snow white and the 4 dwarfs!

I always have this place on my mind every single day!!! I LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS!!!WELL ORGANIZED! also, it's fun to watch the shows!

Great local theatre that produces their own comedic plays. Great night out.

Fantabulouse We ALWAYS look forward to each show

My family attends the Holiday Extravaganza every year. The show is awesome and the actors are great!

This is one of our favorite places in the area. The show's are funny, the beer is cold, the food is... well, edible. No gourmet restaurant but we keep going back. If you haven't been you should definitely check it out. We became season subscribers this year and I'm so happy we did. Kid friendly as long as your kid can sit still and not annoy the other guests and so long as you don't mind a little mild adult humor. My 9 and 12 year old love it.

Wow, just wow... i am blown away every time i come here. Newest play "Mix Tape" is simply amazing!

Wonderful everytime I've come here. The nachos are very good always and they are friendly.

Highly enjoyable show. Staging, acting, sound were all extremely professional. Not a bad seat in the house either! Great fun, we'll be back.

Always a great time at the Melodrama. I wish the seats had a little more padding, but maybe I need to lose some weight. The Sherlock Holmes play was great and super funny!

We saw The Foreigner there and enjoyed it. This serious play was a far cry from the boo/hiss melodrama of my college days in SLO. They serve simple food. I'd recommend the chicken wrap and grilled chicken salad. Hot dogs and nachos were the same as you'd get in a movie theater. We had table seats which are crowded when eating, but fine for the show. The best seats looked to be row C1 - you look over the crowd, have your own area to set your drinks, and easy access to the aisle. The third act vaudeville review was more fun that we expected. Overall it was a great way to spend an evening. If you support local theater - and you should - then get tickets and enjoy the show.

This place is so fun. I have loved every show I've seen. Highly recommend!

Always so much fun, recommend it to anyone that is wanting to have a good time.

My first introduction to melodrama was over a year-and-a-half ago. My sister and her family have season tickets. My husband came along and loved it. Keep in mind he doesn't love anything, tends to be a curmudgeon at times. But he and I were both highly entertained. The Ensemble of actors were talented and engaging. The show was funny and upbeat and even choked me up and brought a tear to my eye. I adore their sense of patriotism. The Great American Melodrama continues to be enjoyed by my entire family. Cannot wait to go again. Recommended to everyone!

Great place to go funny and the actors are the best cant wait to go again

Always a good time, family friendly , good food wine and beer and the cast is always friendly

I went here once with my family, and what a rollicking time. These young actors are so patently and potently in love with their occupation. They include the audience in every drop of the great time that they re having. They knock your socks off. Theatre isn t dead. Not with them around.

A great experience, a must see on your trip to the central coast

Great time, live action plays, Food is ok, not allowed to bring in outside food or drinks.

Always a good show at a very reasonable price. A full snack bar with beer and wine.

Well done production and very capable actors in a family friendly environment performing an almost lost type of theater. Good laughs and a good time for all.

OMG!!!! You shouldn t have to read this review to go here, even reading this is taking time away from you going now to buy tickets..... seriously stop reading and go buy tickets!!!

What a great experience! The cast was amazing! A great and funny story with excellent comedy and great acting. Make sure you try the chili dogs! Nice variety of food and beverages. Definitely an experience worth repeating!

Great place to check out when ur in the Pismo Beach area. They are doing Treasure Island right now 6/13/19.

It was great!! Been a while since the last time I attended, will definitely go again. High energy good vibes and entertaining

Great time at the Melodrama! I don't know why we don't go more often!

They are hilarious, the atmosphere is good for the whole family. Great fun

I've had the awesome pleasure of attending this theater about 6 times Through The Years while visiting family here. We are from Las Vegas. We are coming today to see the matinee performance. I can hardly wait. Always a good time here and always a packed house because you guys are the best. Don't forget to save room for some snacks in the back surf By the actors.

So Frickin entertaining. We will be back again and again!!!!

Always such a fun and entertaining way to spend an evening.

As a two year alumn of TGAM&V, it was a great place to work, and hone my craft. I would, and have recommended TGAM to young actors looking for a great early career experience. You get to try everything, even breaking type-casting, to stretch your abilities, and become your best version of you.
