Such an elegant venue that I love to go watch musicals at! We saw pretty women the musical here and loved it. The theater is so clean and the staff is so friendly and helpful. Security was great and the Ushers were helpful to direct us to our seats.

I was surprised on how grand this theater is. My first time here to see a musical. The venue is a very nice facility with convenient layout for orchistra and musicals shows. This is probably in par with the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion theater in DTLA in terms of scale. It was easy to get to as it's right next to the famous South Coast Plaza shopping mall with many high end dining options. We had dinner at Water Grill before the show. It was a perfect evening with great food and amazing entertainment. The sound system was great as we had clear sounds of the music and singings. I was an awesome experience to see a show here. Now that we know about this place, we will be coming more. For parking, you can either valet or park it yourself. The self parking garage is directly connected to the theater.

Amazing location. Every seat is a good seat. Prices are always competitive. I always wait for those emails for the special pricing. This pics are from orchestra row r Be creative with parking around the general area. It can be free

Gorgeous theater. The exterior and interior are just beautiful. Luckily on my last visit this week they took credit cards for parking! Parking is just across the street and is a quick walk. For some shows there will be items displayed in the hallways or billboards to take pictures with so worth getting there a little early incase. The staff is also very helpful for questions.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Can anyone tell me why a glass of wine 🍷 in Sergestrom theater in Costa Mesa costs $19 while it is only $7 in the Musical Theater West in Long Beach??? The atmosphere and the quality of the performance at the MTW is superb.

PIERRE PHU TIEN NGUYEN | Feb 25, 2022
Emil Wolfe | Feb 25, 2022

It's the same reason a bottle of water there costs $5. Well at least the water came from Italy so there must be a shipping charge.
