Saw, Bright Star the Musical there recently. Seats were designed well for the stage. Almost impossible to get a bad seat.
Our tour guides gave us an enjoyable behind the scenes look at what goes into putting on a production. Very interesting.The play was a delight and just being in the Old Globe Theatre was a nice experience.
The Old Globe has been around forever and offers top notch performances. Every seat has a good view of the stage and its an intimate setting where casual to business causal is acceptable. No formals or fur coats necessary. Prices are reasonable and you can find discounts.
In the midst of its surrounding chaos, Balboa park always soothes and astounds. The addition of Panama 66 is a welcome one.
A wonderful place for live plays in a beautiful setting in Balboa Park. Indoor and outdoor theaters. We have season tickets for fall/winter seasons and sometimes the Shakespeare plays outdoors in summer. Beautiful plaza, food and gift shop. Close to downtown, Old Town and ocean.
Old Globe puts on wonderful shows, all seats have great views and the theatre is comfortable, there is plenty of parking in the park may have to walk a little but the setting of Balboa Park is exceptional
When visiting Balboa Park I highly recommend checking out the Old Globe for a play. The place is one of the things that makes San Diego unique.
Where else can you get a choice of 3 theaters (in the summer and 2 in the winter)? Original productions which often continue to broadway and win Tony awards. Great theater. Great acting. Great direction. Great productions.
I've seen many plays at this theater and have very much enjoyed all of them. The first time I went there I was not aware that they tend to keep the theater a bit cold so they actors don't over heat up there. So, i suggest bring a jacket with you, even if it is summer. Sometimes you can find cheap tickets on stub hub, craigslist or another ticket venue if like. I have sat in all different sections and there really is not a bad seat in the place. the balconies can be bad if the stage has a setup where the view is blocked, generally in my experience there is a warning when getting tickets if there is a part of the stage that is blocked from that seat.
The Old Globe Theatre is really beautiful & just so Unique. I wasn't sure what to expect when I went to my first show. You have a good seat no matter where you sit. It is in the round. If you get a chance to go do it...you won't be disappointed. If you enjoy going to the theatre.
