The Great American Melodrama and Vaudeville Theatre Review

The Melodrama is a great venue for a variety of events. Date night, family events, etc. Live action production of Classic tales with a often comedic twist. Nicely remodeled facility with a full snack bar. Great group of actors that deliver great performances time & again.

Great show. Talented cast, vary entertaining. All seats are close to stage.

Wonderful family fun! The actors and crew are just amazing!

Fun place for the whole family. They have great shows. Love this place.

Always a great show. Great food options and really friendly staff.

Such a fun place to go! Wonderful performances every time and love that it's family friendly. Thanks for a great show.

Very professional, very funny, vey talented. We're picky about vocalists and they brought great music with plenty of laughs. Stay after the main show for the third act of vaudeville style - its the best.

Something different in entertainment very well done and worth the money!

A great experience both times I went. Trudy and the Beast was a wonderful experience, and the Cast did so well with the play. They are really good at impersonating, and the whole experience was pleasant. I'm 15 by the way, and that may say a lot if someone like me thought that this play was very fun and interesting.

Really enjoyed the performance. Seating was kind of a nightmare as it seemed no one could tell us exactly where we all were supposed to be after buying large amount of grouped tickets together and then being publicly chastised for apparently being in the wrong place! The performer's were fantastic and I laughed SO much! We'd all go back in a heart beat!

I've been going here since I was a child and it's still one of my favorite places to go on the central coast. It's a great place to celebrate birthdays or anniversaries. The plays are usually very good while the vaudeville is always the best part in my opinion. The cast is friendly and you get to interact with them at the snack bar where you can get food and drinks. Not really a bad seat in the house, but center balcony and 2nd row of the tables are my fave. Casual and fun atmosphere, a great way to spend any night here on the central coast.

The Melodrama is great fun for the family or a date night. My step-daughter wants to come here for her birthday for the past couple of years.

This is a great little melodrama. It would work as a fun date night, or as a place to go with friends. We have been twice, and both times have been enjoyable.

If you arrive a little early, you can get some food and drinks while you wait for the show to start. We always get a table, which lends itself well to snacking and keeps the mood social.

The shows are funny, and the jokes are clean. The actors do a great job, and it s fun to see them go through multiple character changes (and to have them work the snack bar before and during shows).

Buy tickets ahead of time. It s been crowded both times we ve gone. It s a casual atmosphere. But fun evening.

A really fun way to spend an evening. Lots of very talented singers /actors.

I've been attending shows at the Melodrama for decades. I fall in love with it all over again upon each return. The Vaudville and/or musical review at the end of most performances are a great way to finish the show.

Always a great show, doesn't matter what it is, you'll have a great time and laugh allot! This was my 5th time and certainly not the last!

Great shows, good people, good food... need a good laugh and a yummy snack to go with you drink tonight? This is definitely the place

Always great fun, family entertainment. Lots of laughs and the actors are absolutely wonderful!

Amazing show. Great laughs. Not one boring moment.

Great entertainment for the whole family. We just saw, "Karaoke Kid", a spoof on the movie. "Karate Kid". Well done and very funny.

Fabulous, fun place. Actors work in concession stand pre-curtain and sing praises every time someone tips them. Then the show starts and the fun and laughter begin. Audience cheers for the hero and boos the villain. Lots of singing and joke telling. Great fun. Atmosphere among audience: casual and friendly.

Family fun, rated a 10. Cast is so talented and fun from minutes one to the very end. Good value for an dynamic musical evening seeing the Pump Boys and Dinettes

A great tredition to have in the family to go every year. Always warm and welcoming. Make sure to tip to get yourself a jingle.

We come here for the Christmas show every year, so great! It could use a bit if an upgrade though and more options for snacks at intermission

It was so much fun! I highly recommend it you won't be disappointed!!

I love this place. The entire experience is something every one should experience.

Great talent and lots of fun! This gem even has food and beverages! We will definitely come back!

Very fun experience. Parking can be tricky. The performers are exceptionally talented.

Such a wonderfully fun and entertaining evening! Fun for all. I would fully recommend this to everyone!

The Melodrama is a lot of fun. Plan to get some some food, that's part of the fun.

The acting was good,the script is funny, good value

If you need to get rid of some stress, you will get that relief at the Melodrama. Enjoy a great meal, laugh till your sides ache and your eyes tear, sing your heart out and join in the merriment of birthdays and anniversaries. Love the Vaudeville reviews too!

Always a fun time, the performers are great and the shows are entertaining. We are season ticket holders and it's worth every penny!

Extraordinary & Unusual local theater. A real treat!

My husband and I have been season ticket holders ever since our 2nd show back in 2005! All 3 generations LOVED the melodrama, vaudeville act, birthdays and anniversaries, and food and drink. Through the years we have met so many actors and we see many of them at the SLORep theater in San Luis Obispo as well. Even shows we have seen before are fresh when repeated. The actors are MASTERS at taking familiar songs and updating the lyrics to fit the show. If you have never gone or haven't been to the Melodrama in awhile, come on in!! The laughs are good for your health!

Less Miserable. If you haven t been you should. Fun cast and funny parody. A little gem in Oceano.

We love it. We come here every time were at the coast.

What's not to love!? An evening of laughter and entertainment with some of the hardest working actors in California. The Melodrama is an institution and so much fun. If you can't enjoy yourself here you should just stay in!

Loved it so much! I laughed till I cried. We will definitely go again soon!

I love to go and see the play's they really put a great show .

The show was lots of fun! Tight seating was difficult and the cost is a stretch

Great show! Saw Scary Poppins with my husband. So much fun. This group of artists are so talented!

Awesome experience! Thinking about going? Just go! This is a gem! And so much more than what I expected it to be!

I went on a vacation with my family to california. I went to Las Vegas, Fremont street, L.A., and other cites, but personally, this was the highlight of my stay.

Christmas Extravaganza is great again this year, and an updated reindeer rap!

The whole family loves going to the melodrama. We have fun eating and laughing and singing along. We esp. Love during the summer when they have 2 shows playing.

Always a blast going to this place, the actors are super talented

Great place to take people to have also I had fun watching a show there

Great experience overall, I would go again, and I would recommend veterans and new people to go to the melodrama for a fun time. It's also a great family event, at least it was for me. The cast makes it very immersive, and even the concession people are actors.

Please visit.... Its the greatest show , good comedy ,amazing actors ....

The melodrama is quite the experience. With the intriguing actors and great service it's definitely a place to visit! I love going here with friends or even my grandma. It's the best place to bring young kids or even your parents. Definitely recommend! They also have really good options for food pretzels, nachos, hot dogs, ice cream, chili... Lot of options. Food prices are affordable as well!

We've been season subscribers for over 12 years and loved (almost) every show we've seen! Always a good time!
