Pasadena Playhouse, Pasadena

We came for the play “Uncle Vanya” on the opening night and it didn’t disappoint. Upon our arrival, the staff checked vaccination cards before allowing entrance to the play. Masks were required to be worn during the entire play. Uncle Vanya is a theatrical classic. I honestly loved "uncle Vanya" the character, the actor did an amazing job in the play. The theater itself is beautiful as well. All the staff were super friendly and accommodating, we even heard some good history from the staff inside the members only lounge upstairs. It was the first Wednesday of the month, aka wine Wednesdays, where complimentary wine and beer are served before the show. There is plenty of parking at the back of the building, and also a parking structure just across the street for $5. (They close at 11pm) Overall, we really had a great time from the beginning to the end!

My husband and I walk by here ALL the time. I won a pair of tickets to watch Sunday In The Park With George…but I got sick that week and was DEVASTATED we couldn’t use them and I had to give it up so other Yelp elites could use them (wouldn’t want it to go to waste). My husband surprised me by purchasing orchestra seats and to the same play so we could watch it before the end of the month! We walked here so I can’t comment on the parking. The theatre itself is super cute and beautiful. The all-gender bathrooms upstairs were useful because I saw later there was a long line to the women’s restroom. I know the theatre is aged but I have to say, my back hurt from sitting in those chairs. Aside from that, we enjoyed the play and the talent of the performers and musicians!! Also, the sheer screen to cover the live orchestra while it reflected amazing images, was so cool!! Would definitely come back!
