Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center

Great to see a show, I saw Les Misérables here great production and fun show…
seating a bit tight but not too bad. What keeps me coming back here are the Food truck day’s, Tuesdays are 3pm to 9pm evenings and Thursdays are Lunch time from around 11am to 3pm. they tend to have a good variety of trucks hearty, healthy, desert, and drinks… it’s fun and a nice place to meet folks from the surrounding area. there is ample parking and a nice track to work the food off next door :)

I went to a Performance this past weekend. The Center has plenty of parking and it is free. The restrooms are clean, and employees are helpful. I was impressed on seeing that they actually sell alcoholic beverages, from beer to wine, not sure what the prices were but I think it’s a good option for people whom care to have a drink prior to seeing their show, they also sell snacks, although their arent too many selections too choose from.

My husband and I saw Beauty and the Beast on Saturday and were blown away. For me, it had the same production value as Broadway! At the start, we knew one character had to be played by someone new (due to traffic accident) and this talent did so well. We couldn’t believe how wonderfully he performed! We were completely lost in the story. This theater warms our hearts.

I visited this location to see a play by 3D Theatricals. The play was Disney Beauty and The Beast. This place was big enough to enjoy the show. It had stadium seating. A orchestra pit a lounge clean restrooms and ample parking their interior décor was well cared for

Just the right sized venue or a holiday performance of the Nutcracker by Los Angeles Ballet Theater.
This was the perfect end to the 2015 holiday season. The actual matinée was pretty packed, too.
Our seats were perfect: Row J, seats 31 – 34 — right smack in the middle, ten rows from stage front — you could see everything!
I am a firm believer in supporting the arts and this was a great way to introduce a little 6 year old ballerina to a full length ballet. Kudos too to the parent next to me who had a three year old who actually sat through the entire performance without any fuss!

Came here for Vibe JRS with Kinjaz’s Anthony Lee as host and the younger generation crews competing for best show.
Seats were comfortable, tons of parking, & decent venue size where even the 10^th row can still give you a good shot.
HIGHLIGHT: Y’know that choreo video to Adele’s Hello that went viral? No? Well, feast your eyes here:
I get to say I was in the crowd (;

I was here recently for a performance from the Los Angeles Ballet and consider this to be a fine venue for such an event.
Upon arrival, there was some light traffic but plenty of parking*, none of it too far from the doors. Will-​call was labeled clearly, and I received my tickets in no time. The circular lobby was spacious, had a cool water display on one side, and there was a ton of stalls in the ladies lounge which always helps.
For me, the seats were great. I was on the farther side but closer to the front, and I’d rather be there then centered in the back rows. Ushers were great in helping one find their way, and since this was a ballet, majority of people made an effort to dress up and be cordial. A couple of fools near me were on their phones briefly until I cleared my throat and stared them down, and two people behind me during Act II couldn’t shut up for some reason, but otherwise, I’d like to think most people enjoyed themselves and were able to focus on a romantic ballet for a little more than an hour without Instagram or Facebook. But this isn’t the fault of Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, it’s society.
Redondo Beach is quite out of my way, but I would be willing to return for another event here.
*Extreme bonus: FREE parking!

We bought tickets for Tarzan to get them at will call. We get there and they didn’t have our tickets. They made us wait until they printed them. When we got inside they made us seat in the late sitting were we couldn’t see half of the stage. It was a bad experience.

5 stars for the Les Miserables cast yesterday, it was a fantastic show! Cried my eyes out, very powerful.
Parking is plenty and free for all.
The concession stand offers nice things such as wine, beer and water, popcorn and snacks but the drawback is you have to eat it outside in the lobby and intermission is only 10 mins. With the long lines you have to gulp your wine and go in.
Non the less it’s a great venue to watch a great production.

I came to the Redondo Performing Arts Center for a work meeting and not for a play or concert, so I am not sure what the stage and sound would be like for those. There is free parking outside (it is outdoor parking, not covered). As I was running a little late, the parking spots right outside of the Center was all full. I kept following the lines of car and I got worried that I would not be able to find parking. But, no worries at all, they also use another lot a little further away. I parked in the lot and the walk to the Center in about 5 minutes.
The actual Center is actually on the smaller side. There is just one level. It was separated by 2 sections, the orchestra and rear. Since I came in late, I sat in the rear section and I had no problem seeing everything that was going on the stage. The sound was also great so I can hear everything. The seats reminded me of the Ahmanson. It is tiered slightly and the seats were spaced so that if someone taller sat in front of you, it wouldn’t be as bad. The seats were a little tight, so if you need to go to the restroom, it would be a little hard. I suggest getting an aisle seat or seat closer to the aisle if you need to move about during a performance. (The first few rows of the rear sections has aisles on both sides.). If there is ever a play, concert, etc. here, I would love to come here.
When I walked back after my meeting, I noticed that there was a long line for the cars that were parked in the lots near the Center. I had no problem going out. If you don’t mind the few minute walk, I would suggest parking the lots that is a little further away. It will be easier to get out.

Went to see a Hawaiian music festival here a few weeks back. First time here and it was great. An intimate feel with not a bad seat in the house.
The parking is a bit rough but what can you do its the beach cities and that’s a premium around here.
I have a decent set up for intermissions with a few options for places to hang out.

Here’s a place you drive by everyday, without ever really knowing what it is, and why you should stop in. Sure there’s a flashing neon sign on the corner of Aviation Blvd, and Manhattan Beach Blvd that depicts upcoming shows and events… but then again… do you really pay attention to it? Most likely not…
Until something like the healthy, positive, and happier Blue Zones Project decides to hold their holiday gathering there, and you realize there is a great open space auditorium, with nice décor, and plenty of parking just around the corner from you.
Perks of the RB Performing Arts Center are many… dance recitals, pageants, band concerts, theatre productions, and speaker series live shows year ’round. It’s not Staples Center or the Nokia Theatre for sure, and prices reflect that home-​town small production fit. However, the staff works hard, the lighting and sound are good, and you wouldn’t remember you were in a small budget arts center unless you really tried hard to do so.
Another perk is the Tues/​Thurs food truck alley they put on in the parking lot, with an eclectic mix of some of the best food trucks from around LA.
You may not drive by this place any longer without giving it a chance.
ENJOY!

The family attended the Nutcracker this Christmas holiday at the center… that is, all of us accept Bob and Cody. (Can you imagine that? Wanting to fish instead of enjoy the Los Angeles ballet?) Well, anyway, I loved absolutely everything except the fact that the music was not live… what would one expect for a $ 23 ticket, right? The time flew as the magical suite was played out on stage… this should be a Christmas tradition for families everywhere. The center is a small venue with an intimate feel. You’ll be glad to know there is an ample number of stalls in the ladies room… ha!

I recently had the opportunity to see the Nutcracker by the Los Angeles Ballet here at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center.
The center is aesthetically pleasing and, though the stage does not allow for an orchestra, it’s a great space for theatre.
This is definitely the whitest venue I’ve been to in a long time. I drove down to this hood from Brentwood and was surprised by some of the encounters I had in the lobby. One blonde west side mom with her daughter randomly confronted me and my girlfriend and said «WOW, YOU LIKE CUTTING? Yoooooou’rrrreeee tricky!!»
We had never even seen the woman or her devil child before. There was an air of racism in the atmosphere, which was bizarre for a matinée theatre performance (the Nutcracker no less).
In terms of space and location this is a decent spot, but given the fact that it’s jam-​packed with narrow-​minded white supremacists I don’t think I’d go back. I’ll stick to Disney Concert Hall, thanks.
To the LA Ballet: great performance and props for the diversity in your cast.

Great venue and the seats actually have LEG ROOM!

Great venue. Had a wonderful time at the concert. Seats were right up front and we had a great view the the artist.

Nice space. Came for a workshop on a Saturday morning, so not exactly sure how shows and performances are here, but there was lots of seating, nice stage, lots of parking. The seating was in long rows without an aisle in the middle so it must be a pain for those in the center. Lobby was nice as well.

Came here to see Shrek the Musical on a Sunday afternoon. I like that you don’t have to go through all the Hollywood traffic you would usually get when going to the Pantages. It was easy to get here. There was plenty of parking, and there were no lines to get in.
No lines at will call either. The seats are all okay here so any ticket you buy should be fine. I’m looking forward to coming back here for future performances.
Quick tip. Trader Joes and McDonalds are across the street from this place. In case you get hungry mid-​performance. :D

This was a fantastic small venue! I went and saw Avenue Q here and really enjoyed the theater. The box office staff was very kind and even changed my ticket times because of a living social error. There was fast service and I was really impressed with their level of customer service.
I loved the small venue appeal because not only was it quaint, but virtually every seat in the house would have been a good seat. The concession stand was reasonably priced and again, everyone was super friendly. The theater was virtually spotless and the staff was friendly, and we were always greeted with a smile. The only thing holding me back from five stars was the seats were a little uncomfortable.
Overall, the show was fantastic. They had the original set from Avenue Q Broadway and the sound was amazing. The quality of actors this theater brings are also top notch. If you get a chance, see a show here because you will not be disappointed.

Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center, «you’re all that and a bag of chips!»
Haha, did I just say that? That’s is what happens when you go to a concert at Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center and it’s a total blast from the past from the 90s. My friends and I attended the All-​4-​One and Color Me Badd concert last night here and had a blast!
Parking was nice and easy and we got in pretty quickly. The venue was spacious and clean. Both the lighting and sound system were great. We had excellent seats (front orchestra, row C1) so we had a total clear view of the stage and the performers. I now have the songs Heaven, All for Love and I Swear on repeat… lol, thanks for taking me back to the memories of school dances, Redondo Beach Performing Arts!
So «heaven oh heaven» «I do it all for love» and «I swear» I’ll be be back here cuz «word up» this place is «da bomb.» ;).
