We visited to watch a stage production of Amadeus, and we had a lovely time. The staff was helpful and kind, and we appreciated that concessions were nearby. We’d be happy to return!

It might have been a Tony award winning theatre, but keep in mind there are also flops. Holiday Spectacular was truly awful. An attempt to mock all elements of Christmas, yet described as a 'love letter to Pasadena'...well, it was a disorganized mess with almost all of the jokes falling flat, and so very old hat. Turning little drummer boy into a farce was distasteful, given the show was pitched for anyone over the age of 6. It was a satire that fell woefully flat.

I was invited to an event to see The Great Leap. The patio area is a nice place to hang out before the show starts and they offered complimentary wine, how can you beat that. I didn't know what the play was about and during the opening scene I wanted to walk out. I stuck around and started enjoying the show as it started to come together until the unique ending. I highly recommend enjoying a night out at this classic playhouse.

Great set up for encouraging music efforts in young children. This place is filled with joy and excitement.

Four of us just saw IAMA's production of A Kid Like Jake at the Pasadena Playhouse - Carrie Hamilton Theatre - and were all wowed! The actors are so talented we couldn't stop commenting how real the play was, as though they weren't acting at all. Truly a phenomenal performance. The stage set was very detailed,appropriate and drew all of us in to feeing like we were in the living room with this couple. The energy from the audience was apparent as we all felt the emotions of the actors. We met the actors afterwards, all of whom are so talented and humble. They all praised the producer, Lexi Sloan, for being supportive and making the show an astonishing success. Haven't seen this height of talent in a long time. Small intimate upstairs theater, all seats are great. Grab a quick bite nearby before the show and have a wonderful evening! Only $5 for parking directly across the street. We highly recommend this performance!!
