The Old Globe Reviews

Wonderful venue and staff. Performance of Heart of Rock and Roll was amazing! Not a bad seat in the house!

There are three stage here. The Globe, a smaller theater in the square and the outdoor theater. I saw The Miser at the outdoor theatre. It is a little unnerving to have lions roaring during the performance since the stage backs up to Cat Canyon of the San Diego Zoo.
BTW it was an incredible performance.

First time I've ever been live performance other than concerts. I appreciated both the performances and setting. Was pleasant experience.

Saw Benny and joon here today 10/22/17 it was amazing very well done

I love how intimate the venue is. Every seat has a good view.

Great facility. Clean, loved The Grinch outside peeking over the rooftop. Saw The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Very well done! Fell in love with little tiny Cindy Lou Who!!!

What a great place to see a stage play. Not a bad seat in the house

Very cool theatre. Nice atmosphere at Balboa Park and they offer a wide range of performances.

It isn't often I get the privilege of seeing shows at The Old Globe, but all three theaters have great sight lines for intimate performances. Almost Famous was amazing.

Beautiful park, wonderful theater, amazing plays. Love this gem we have here in San Diego.

What a great quaint and intimate venue that almost guarentees a great view from almost every seat. The caliber of the shows that flow from the Old Globe are proof positive why so many of their works get a nod towards Broadway! Located in the heart of Balboa park with such great sight seeing and dining options, a night at the Old Globe makes for a spectacular evening!

Just saw "Barefoot in the Park"; charming, delightful, and funny production!

Best theater in SD, check out their annual Shakespeare festival during the summer, it is a treat!

A great place to hang around and photo shoot in front of an awesome christmas tree!! I enjoyed the atmosphere, vibe, and the weather here!

Lovely little theater. Always cool to see the stage design. No bad seats.

Lovely theater in Balboa Park. Not a bad seat in the house!

Wonderful adaptation of The Grinch that Stole Christmas.

If it weren't for the prices, this would maybe be my favorite theater in town! So many fun plays and musicals in a variety of theaters at the Old Globe complex. While I may not have loved every show I've seen here, they've all been very well done. Recommend you visit any time!

Such a lovely venue. The summer plays in the outdoor theater are the best.

Incredible facility in a beautiful park. Highly recommend seeing a great musical, now playing, "The Heart of Rock and Roll".

The productions are fabulous and inaginative. The direction and acting are supurb. I absolutely love the setting in Balboa Park. The seating in all the theaters is generous and comfortable. Truly a Dan Diego Gem.

We watched a play yesterday...the. Two gentlemen of verona ..and the students of USD did an amazing job

The productions here are second to none. All the plays I've seen here are amazing

Every season has great shows for many different tastes.

Old School, just the way i like it. Such a cozy welcoming theater. Staff is the A Team.

Twelfth Nights was an original production, well staged and acted

It is such a beautiful place I ain't never been there before the play was awesome

My first visit to Old Globe. A birthday present from my sweetie. We saw Hurricane Diane, very enjoyable. Friendly staff, good seating. I also appreciated the heads up that it was a 90 minute show with no intermission, very thoughtful on their part :)

Great intimate venue to watch plays. Entire staff is friendly and want you to have a great time. Use the valet parking if you can't get a space close to the theatre.

Top notch regional theater. Friedly staff and accommodating. Parking is sometimes an issue. Get there early.

This place is beautiful at night. Definitely looking forward to seeing the Grinch later this month. Definitely a nice place to go on a Friday or Saturday night.

Great venue with no bad seats. A great place to support live theater.

After seeing over a dozen different productions here, I can confidently say I've never been disappointed by this theater. Top caliber actor pit on performances to remember.

Beautiful theater, very talented acting, and the atmosphere just makes it so enjoyable to see any production here. Come early and enjoy a glass of wine outside before the play. Would love to come back in the summer sometime for their outdoor Shakespeare productions.

Thank you for consistently bringing amazing plays that have quality music and actors and touching storylines or shows that make me fall out of my seat laughing! I never have to worry about whether or not I will love a play presented at the Old Globe...every single show is amazing!

Beautiful place with lots of great shows to choose from. Wide range of ticket prices.

Beautiful! What a great theater. San Diegos Best! I hope 2 go back 4 another play soon.

Worked here for three months as a carpenter's apprentice. Learned much behind the scenes.

Came here with my son's class and it was pretty kool to see everything behind the stage. The gentleman that gave us the tour was so knowledgeable and so nice.

My wife and I, senior citizens and American citizens by generations, we re seated in the balcony waiting for a performance to begin when woman and a man apparently intoxicated came in to be seated when she looked at us and said loudly look illegal aliens it spoiled our evening. The staff were not concerned or apologetic.

Great live theatre - Grinch Christmas play was so so good

We were in a new theater to see "Double Indemnity" and loved it. Performance and staging in the round was great. Theater is intimate and beautiful. ONE SUGGESTION, don't buy a seat at the end of a row next to the railing. Railing is architected to be at an angle and makes it uncomfortable to sit.

We have been going to the Old Globe Theater for over 50 years. It has changed physically but the productions are usually fantastic whether at the indoor or outdoor venues. Add dinner at the Prado and you have a perfect evening.

The Old Globe Theatre is an International institutional Jewel of the Thespian world!!!

Best experience ever! Familiar was awesome!!! The theatre is amazing! Is small but is enough! Ya have to go and see one show!

What a great theater (theatre?)! The Bard would be proud.

Front is modelled on the globe theatre in London. Beyond that it's a normal theatre inside.
Comfortable seats.
Catch the tour during the days that includes the other theatres too. It was very informative.

Great atmosphere, great seats, great play. Lovely experience!

Great shows. Discounted tickets for students or anyone under 30 yrs of age. Alcoholic beverages available for purchase at the pub and allowed into the theatre. Valet parking available but go early for free parking. Great for date nights.

Love this venue! My extended family goes every year for Shakespeare. This year was SO good. Laughed so hard. Thank you.

Love the Old Globe I had so many great experiences here he actors are great and I would go again if I had the chance

We saw the Grinch and it was magical. The casting was diverse and so talented. The staff were also really friendly and welcoming.

Had a great time watching "The Heart of rock n roll". Bathrooms and concessions were near and easy to find.

It is so beautiful there. It's like Central Park but it's in San Diago. It is a must see.

Beautiful theater to see a show! You can eat at The Prado before hand or grab a drink at Panama 66. The theater itself is intimate so any seat in the house will get you a great view of the stage.

Decent place to watch a play but the acoustics could be better.

The Rock and roll play was a great performance. Staff, great Customer Service and Very accommodating..
