La Jolla Playhouse

If I could give a higher rating, I most definitely would! The entire staff is extremely friendly, especially the box office! I had physical tickets to Sasha Velour show but I left them at home in LA. I called a couple hours before the show and they were able to reprint them for me to pick up at the box office. Super friendly! The bathrooms were pretty clean and the space felt intimate and the seats were cushy.

They had free parking at one of the UCSD parking structures with a shuttle that takes you to the venue. If not, it's also a short, leisurely walk there that takes about 7-9 minutes.

It was a great experience attending a play here. It was my first visit and I will definitely come back. There were many friendly smiling staff members to assist and provide directions where to go. The parking and shuttle was so easy and seamless.

The play was excellent as expected. The theatre lived up to their stellar reputation with this show. I can't wait to come back!

Last night I saw Redwood at the Potiker theater. It is amazing that such well known artists such as Idina Menzel have made appearances at this playhouse.

Pros:
-free parking/shuttle services to the event
-tickets range in price which helps people at different price points. There were even people who were in the standing section for Redwood, which I had no idea was even an option.

Cons:
-be careful of where you choose your seat. I sat in the balcony seat AA 210 and couldn't see 1/3 of the stage so at times I could only hear what was happening. I'm a little surprised that these seats were offered.

First time for us going to this theater. What a phenomenal performance! The actors and music were outstanding. I highly recommend this musical to anyone who is a Johnny Cash fan. I was very impressed.

This is my second time attending a play at this theater but first time reviewing it. My daughter and I had the pleasure of seeing Matthew Broderick in the play Babbitt!

Before we were even in La Jolla the playhouse kept us up to date and informed us of our evening via email. I really appreciated their notifications concerning the parking situation due to some construction in the lot. The email gave great detail in how to get to the venue and where we should park. There was a free shuttle that picks you up outside the parking garage. Everything was very simple and easy.

Once the shuttle dropped us at the theater it was a short walk to the entrance. They had a nice lobby with easy access to restrooms and refreshments. The lines were typical but went quickly, I appreciated the friendliness of the staff and the decor. There was a nice photo backdrop for guests to take pictures which was nice!

Once we were ready to find our seats it took only a few minutes and it was very easy. The theater is not huge but every seat has a great view. The design is excellent in allowing you to see the full stage without being blocked by the guest in front of you.

The play was wonderful, acting superb and the seats were comfy and leg room spacious. I would definitely come back to see another show in the future.

Upon leaving the playhouse once it was over we decided to skip the shuttle and walk with the rest of the crowd to the parking garage down the street. It took us only about 10 min to get there. Everything was very easy and quick!

If you get a chance to see a show here I think you will feel comfortable and have a great time.

Anytime at the theater is a treat!

Still fangirling over the play I saw the other day with Genevieve Angelson, Anna Chlumsky, Ann Harada, and freakin Matthew Broderick. What a freakin treat. I already have my ticket to see Idina Menzel next year. I can not be more thrilled to have La Jolla Playhouse in my backyard.

Before seeing Babbit and purchasing my tickets for 2024, I knew La Jolla playhouse from all the other cool things they've brought to the area. I really enjoyed the immersive show they put on La Lucha downtown and getting to see Little Amal come to San Diego was so special.

Their calendar is really starting to pick up after live events had to pause a few years ago. I'm so excited for their 2024-25 programs and can't wait to see what else they bring to the area.

The La Jolla Playhouse is a live theater venue which, while small, has a big reputation for sending plays to Broadway. They don't all become hits in NYC but a substantial number have succeeded.

The acoustics are very good. The sight lines are superb. The theater seating is perfectly sloped so you could see the stage even if Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sat in front of you. Well done, designers.

There's a parking structure about a ten minute walk away. Easy peasy.

This little theater has a big reputation and for good reason.

Great small theater to see pre broadway shows. Went to see The Outsiders. Was a great theater with elevated seats, so even the back rows have a great view. Seats we're comfortable and plenty of leg space.

Would come back here for future shows.

My first time here and thought it was great! Very clear parking directions on the website, and it's nice they offer complimentary parking / shuttles. The seats in the theater were comfortable. A bit hard to find the bathrooms before the doors to the inside opened if you didn't know / look around.

We used to have season tickets here back in 2005! OMG how it's changed since then! The theatre is still the same intimate setting but the parking lot across the way is GONE. It's now multiple high rise buildings. You now have to park like a mile away but parking is now free and a shuttle will take you to and from at no charge. The play we saw today was Outsiders. It was great! My daughter is a UCSD student and one of the perks is $15 tickets. They are only the last 2 rows but they are still great seats. No one obstructing our views. The sound and music were spot on. The will call box people and the ushers all very nice. Good refreshment... prices reasonable. Overall great show, great experience!
