The Old Globe Reviews

Fabulous play, "Hurricane Diane." Old Globe is a wonderful venue and the sun was out and shining.

Consistently excellent productions. A jewel of San Diego.

The old Globe is a great way to spend any evening. Watching a profesional play put on in such a wonderful theater is a treat for anyone. I love going and it s always a treat.

The Old Globe constantly delivers excellent productions - entertaining and thought-provoking

Love this theater complex, there's 2 or 3 seperate stages!

Is a very nice theater and there s a pub outside that has the best sandwiches!

You know I always enjoy it here. Good or bad it's always interesting to me. Saw A thousand splendid suns. Well done

Yes I loved it. Lovely venue. Easy to get to, and a great show Life After. Watch out for it. It will be on Broadway, no doubt. the music and the voices were superb, and the story was strong

Professional theater, well supported and loved by the community. I wish they did more frequent edgy works the way La Jolla Playhouse does, and also wish they had something like Discovery Sundays, again the way La Jolla Playhouse does.

Had season tickets here for longer than I can remember. I have seen several first run plays here that went on to Broadway, and were Tony Award winners. There are 3 theaters in the complex, and there is not a bad place to sit in any of them. Sets, acting, and staging are all great.

Beautifully done plays, if you don't mind excessive profanity and depictions and references to sex in many of them.

Best Friday Night Dates night. Always entertaining, fun. Snack bar has good variety of choices.

Great venue, is outdoor so stay warm for night performances, intermission is not enough to get something to eat so plan accordingly

Never disappointing! Another amazing performance under the stars with highly professional actors. This is a beautiful, small, open air theater in the round, with excellent and friendly staff, well organized and maintained.

Such a lovely venue in a superb location. We were in the front row this time! But there are no bad seats. Wonderful neighborhood engagement.

I'm a student at National University and I highly encourage the tour with Bill Crane & Marge Cole, the two are highly knowledgeable about the Old Globe and I can't wait to see the performances coming up

The Old Globe is a classic landmark in San Diego! Fun theatre to see a show, either play or musical! I am so lucky to be able to see around 3 shows yearly. I look forward for more to come! No bad seats as the theater is a half round!

Always have fun at the old globe. Never a dull moment.

The Old Globe is a marvelous theater house with a long and distinguished history in Balboa Park. Opportunities are year round to see a favorite stage production. Supporting the Arts by seeing these magical performances is a win win for everyone. You gotta Go!

Saw Tales of Desporo and it was all it should have been.

Saw Jitney. Great play. Lots of emotion. Great mixture of Drama and Comedy. Highly recommend seeing.

My wife and I have been coming to see the Grinch for the last 5 years and have loved it every time

No matter where you sit you get a good seat I love this place!!!

I've seen two plays at the Old Globe and they were awesome. They have high quality performances that I find intriguing. I look forward to seeing the next performance.

The best theater in SD. Literally anything here is good. That's all you need to know.

One of the best places to see homegrown theatre in San Diego. They've sent many shows to Broadway.

Nice play to bring your kids to nurture their interest in theater.

Fantastic performances in a gorgeous locale. I recently saw Picasso at the Lapin Agile and was delighted!

A great afternoon. Lunch a The Prado & then a terrific play.

We saw "Looking for Christmas", a first play by Clint Black. A 90 minute musical drama about realities in our current world. Sad at times and uplifting at others. Performance well staged and cast. Loved it.

The Old Globe puts on very professional productions. I have seen numerous pays here and can think of only one that disappointed. I especially enjoy the White theater as it is a small intimate venue, arranged as a theater in the round.

Often high quality theatre with excellent staff and tasty pre-show bites nearby.

Great theater with something for everyone. This theatre has won numerous awards because of the high quality of its productions.

Beautiful setting in Balboa Park. Theaters are not too large, no bad seats. Excellent season of shows year after year... They don't do experimental theater, but so what they do very well.

Best place for theater in San Diego. Architecture is fun to look at and experience. They have three styles of theater and if you go to the outside one they rent blankets to you. Food is decent, you can pre-order for half time to avoid the line. I have gone on many romantic and friend dates. I love the post show discussion on certain nights with the cast. Great staple of San Diego. The actors and actresses are world class, I have been blown away by their bios. The set designs can not be touched. Love love this place. Not all plays are my style.

Saw the play " Gods of Comedy" at the Old Globe tonight and it didn't disappoint. Next is "As You Like It" on the festival stage. Come really, walk through the park, listen to music the that organ pavilion and then a bite to eat at the Pardo. There's no better place to be in San Diego.

My comment today is about the show playing at the Globe called "The Heart of Rock and Roll." This is a musical inspired by the music of Huey Lewis. It plays through the end of October and it's a must see. Huey's music over the years provides the narrative of this piece. The crowd loved every minute of it. The voices and delivery of the songs are amazing. The entire company is what I would expect to see on Broadway and I hope this talented bunch get to take it there. Go see this before you can't get tickets!

The play was interesting and we loved our seats at the Davies outdoor theatre. Bring a blanket for the evening. One of the ushers was trying to bully me but otherwise it was fine.

Terrific old theater. Acoustics are really good so hearing the performance is never an issue for me.

I loved the play they had it was very funny had a great time

The Old Globe is a real jewel. We've been subscribers for years. Their plays are always well done.

Grinch was exceptional this year
Whosville awaits you
Hot tip..get your seats by the end of September
Our 8 year family tradition starts the Holiday Season with the right vibes.

We have been to several plays at both of the enclosed theatre spaces here, and all the productions were quite amazing. I would have to give special marks to The Lorax by Dr Seuss. Don't make the mistake of assuming this is for kids. Adults get quite as much of a kick out of it if not more.

Just saw The Heart of Rock and Rock. Such a fun show and the actors are amazing.

Beautiful venue! A must visit for all San Diego and.

Always awesome to watch a play at the Old Globe. It's such a different experience. The White theater in the round is submersible...You can't help but feel connected to what's happening.

It's fun to attend productions at any of the Old Globe's three stages. High quality theater productions in the beautiful setting of Balboa Park.

I just saw They Promised Her The Moon. It was amazing! The Old Globe never ceases to amaze me. We re so lucky to have this treasure here in SD. I highly recommend it. A night at the theatre is a night well spent.

Beautiful set dressing and plays outside in the fresh San Diego air. A must do while visiting.

Helpful staff, sunny area and nice environment. Couldn't want more from an afternoon at Balboa Park

Loved the grinch. Have come the past 5 years but this performance was the best.

This is the most amazing theatre and production company in the world! From their outdoor theatre to their main theatre, their attention to detail and artistic expression is mesmerizing! Definitely go see a production and spend an evening with them! They are magical!!!

You charged $20.00 (which we had to prepay) for parking in your valet parking lot and there was no way to get to the Old Globe except to walk. This is particularly outrageous, especially for handicapped people. You had led us to understand that there would be a shuttle at the valet lot that would take us to the Old Globe. I feel we were deliberately ripped off.

Vibrant storytelling. Come early, parking is perpetually a problem.

The seating is excellent. There really isn't a bad seat in the theatre. It is located in lovely Balboa Park.

Almost Famous is a very good new musical. The cast has excellent voices. The film's story is well served by the new songs.

JITNEY... Amazing show, just needed better sound system, hard to hear actors otherwise it's a 5*

Great theater. We saw the Grinch here and it was awesome.

Great theater with a verity of sets,plays, and stages. The globe is a wonderful theater and there are free special events very often and there is a cafe with very good but a little expensive snacks and energy drinks. Thanks for reading-Montgomery McHargue

Beautiful and warm location, staff... Overall a great experience and worth going back regularly

Simply AMAZING venue! Be ready to have your mind blown.

My heart swoons for this place. Not only is it located in the unreal and beautiful Balboa Park but this venue produces some of the finest theater in the city. If you enjoy theater be sure to check out a show here, you won't be disappointed. And no it's not only Shakespeare.
