tripadvisorFriday evening concert, Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. Had seats in the third tier boxes. Doors opened 30 minutes prior to start and we were seated immediately. Venue was only 75% full so there were plenty of open seats even though not all were available on Ticketmaster.Boxes are unobstructed view but require leaning over the railing to seen the entire stage. Not very comfortable for 45 minutes and we moved to some empty seats in the balcony after intermission; much more comfortable.Sound and lighting were fine. Parking is plentiful, exit after the performance was a breeze as entry to the freeway is two blocks away.
MoreI've never heard of this venue until the Led Zeppelin tribute band Get The Led Out was playing there on a Saturday night. There's a large amount of free parking in the massive lot which accompanies other businesses and hotels. The interior of the venue reminds of the old opera houses which have the multi level balconies on the side. We sat in the back which was perfect for the sound and it was still very loud. The bar prices for the beer and mixed drinks is a bit expensive.
MoreWe've been to the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts twice and have had positive experiences both times. For reference, its basically across the street from the Cerritos Towne Center, which is right next to the 91 Fwy. Parking is free!!! Its a tall building, it basically goes up (you can google pictures online). There's not a bad seat in the house, we sat towards the back on the balcony section both times but on different levels. Basically, its preference, if you want to sit closer vs. sitting towards the back. They have stairs and elevators that are easily accessible from the main lobby. The main lobby is picturesque with a fire place that is surrounded by seats for your convenience. The main stairs are opposite of the fireplace and where most of the people take pictures from. They have a lot of ushers that will assist you with any questions that you may have, including where to find your seat(s). Everyone was friendly and didn't seem annoyed with questions that we asked. Our most recent visit, they moved our seats to a different and better balcony level/floor without any added fees, we didn't even ask, how great is that??? The sound quality is amazing, again everything goes up. Everything about this place is centered around convenience without losing quality. If you get an opportunity to go watch a show here, do it! Its amazing!
MoreGreat concert by a tribute Queen band. The lead singer studied Freddie Mercury very well. Great music & very entertaining evening. Besides the 1st song, we knew every song & clapped, sung & danced. The band should skip the 1st song but all the other songs were really good. This venue is a great place to watch a concert. Not a bad seat in the Cerritos Performing Arts Center. Highly recommend this band & this venue. Steve Concialdi
MoreSaw Newsies last night....great show and a wonderful venue. Love everything about this venue - free parking, no long lines. We've seen other shows here and really wish they had more Broadway shows!
