We come here a couple times a year. Parking is easy. Lots of eating options close by. There’s even a pedestrian bridge leading to South Coast Plaza where you can park and eat. In the theater, we usually sit on the balcony which still has a good view. So many good shows come through here and we have enjoyed every one we have seen. My kids enjoy it too!

Loved my experience here watching Anastasia, the musical!My mom isn’t a huge fan of spending money so I knew that when the show was finally in town, I was going to buy her front seat mezzanine seats as soon as possible. On the first day of ticket sales, so many seats were already taken! We got lucky and snagged seats in the Loge section, seats 3 and 4.We are originally from LA so we were used to the seating at Pantages. I had to do a bit of research to fully understand the four sections of Segerstrom and ultimately ended up enjoying Loge due to the fact that we had front row seats. On my next show, I plan to stay at the orchestra terrace just because it has a more intimate feel but is a little further off center.The concessions here aren’t terribly expensive if you consider the cost of concessions at movie theaters and other areas (albeit they’re much smaller portions.) It can also be a bit chilly if you’re here for a couple hours so make sure you have a light sweater to keep you warm. There’s also always the good ol’ walk up and down the entire staircase during intermission!I didn’t get a chance to park here since my boyfriend just dropped us off but I am told you can park at South Coast Plaza across the street so long as you’re aware that it is far away to begin with. Other than that, I had an enjoyable experience here and plan to return fairly soon!

The pacific orchestra was just amazing and the soloists violin Clara Kang did a phenomenal job with the concerto. I have never heard an orchestra so clean. The Segerstrom center is very modern and beautiful decorated.

We purchased 4 tickets to a concert scheduled for July 2020 in the amount of $824.00, and it was of course canceled because of COVID-19. Apparently the concert will be rescheduled for next summer 2021, with no date given. I have made countless attempts through emails and phone calls to have my money refunded. No one answers the phone or emails. What terrible customer service!! I expected so much more from Segerstrom, we have been patrons for many years but will not be returning. They have my money!! Shameful

The musical Anastasia was performing here in the fall and I really wanted to see this musical. I grew up watching the movie and wanted to relive the music and story. The center is located nearby the Costa Mesa Plaza and it has a few parking structures. It is best to get early before the show starts because parking lines can get long. Before you enter the center, you need to go to security and metal detectors. You can rent out binoculars if your seats are far away from the stage. The cost is $8.00 and you need to leave your ID while you are in possession of them.My seat was E6 in the Loge section. You get a good view of the stage and do not need to get binoculars unless you want to see the facial expressions on the actors. The seats are comfy, clean, and the staff are friendly to answer questions or give you directions. The sound system is clear and the effects on stage are amazing. There is no need for big props or background changes. The effects were good to set the imagery and tone of the scenes. I was impressed by the center and do look forward to seeing more shows here.

We went there to see Cats musical and watch it from the lat row. Even though it was far up, the view was good. The performance setup + ambience was great. I would definitely come back.The parking as mentioned is $12 so a tad steep, but its close distance to the performance center. (There are two available on opposite side of each other - one has direct path to the center)

Love this art center, great shows awesome plays. The architectures around are magnificent. Dont mind the grass lawns still working on them. Thank you

Went here to go see the Anastasia play. It was really well made and the singing was amazing! The area around it is great for pictures and the venue is really well kept! Highly recommend coming here for a date night.

Beautiful building. Every seat seemed like a good seat. I went with my wife to see Aladdin the musical. Be prepared to pay.... for everything. Parking is $12 for events, drinks are $15, they do allow you to bring them inside. Bathrooms are well maintained but there will be a line during any intermission. I will be going again

This is a great place to see the theater, music, and all kinds of art activities. The concert hall is so beautiful. I have came here for three different shows in three different halls, each of them is so pretty to be inside. Very well built and well maintained. The workers here are very nice.

Best customer service ever!! I made a mistake when ordering tickets for blue man group and bought 2 tickets for the same row but in different areas Yes. Me and online ticket sales dont go well together. But the lady who answered the phone (yes!!! They actually do answer the phone!!) Was able to help me at no extra charge. This human touch puts them in a category all on their own. YOU guys ROCK!!

A world class venue designed exclusively for symphonic music, and ONLY for symphonic music. Easy access from the freeway, tram service to and from the parking structure, refereshment/cocktail bars on every level, SUPERB acoustics and sight lines and plush, comfortable seating. But the real jewel in the Centers crown is that, acoustically and aesthetically speaking, its superior to Walt Disney Hall, home of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

A magnificent concert hall with superb acoustics. We attended a concert performed by a well known string orchestra and the sound was crystal clear without being overwhelming. The general management of the concert hall was also superb, with polite, helpful staff ensuring the smooth passage of customers to and from their seats. Car parking was ample, reasonably priced and close by, making the visit the highlight of our holiday to California. The immediate area surrounding the concert hall is also worth visiting for the contemporary architecture and landscaping. All first class..

Watched a ballet called Of love or rage and it was absolutely excellent. Nice atmosphere and beautiful building! They even offer drinks!

We enjoyed a matinee showing of the nutcracker here. Finding the venue and parking was very easy. The parking structure was very convenient and we felt $12 for parking was fair. The concert hall was very easy to navigate and there was a large usher presence to help anyone with questions. The bathrooms show some age but were very clean and functional for large numbers of people. Concessions were somewhat limited but you can get a snack or a drink, we didnt go there for the food. We sat on the orchestra terrace and felt our seats were great! We will see future shows here.

A spectacularly elegant concert hall located next to the Segerstrom Performing Arts Center and South Coast Repertory, home to the Pacific Symphony Orchestra. Offers a series of classical concerts as well as pops,Holiday, and visiting guest artists.

Saw a beautiful show. Seating and temperature are comfortable. The buildings are architecturally very interesting.

For a night on the town, we visited the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Costa Mesa to see Jimmie Buffetts Escape To Margaritaville musical. The musical was lively and fantastic which was a perfect fit for the Segerstrom Center. The staff was friendly, welcoming and added to the overall experience.

Fantastic atmosphere great time with my family beautiful buildingA little expensive drinks

Ive been several times to this venue, it is conveniently located next to the 405 and 55 freeways, which makes it really easy to access. Ive been almost all over the balcony area and lodge, the view is really good, I guess I could say that there isnt a bad seat in the house. So if you are in a budget, go ahead a buy one the upper view ticket seats it wont affect your experience. Parking is only 10 dollars.

The husband and I got a three dance series subscription and went to our first one of the three fast Saturday night. Its a beautiful location and we had very good seats. Lots of food options nearby and even within the Segerstrom Hall. Comfortable seating. Plenty of restrooms. Lots of stairs where our particular seats are so choose wisely when you choose your seat.

Great staff. The seats were great. We sat in N-108 and N-109 in the orchestra terrace.

The building itself is maybe more along the lines of four stars, but its kept in very decent shape. The staff are so helpful and friendly—six stars. Finally, the production I went to see there was worthy of five stars, so...

Almost all the seats are great. Rows are spacious but they really need to add restrooms on the North side of the building. Parking is relatively convenient, with a safe drop off zone for those with ambulatory issues.

Beautiful place to see a show. We went for fiddler on the roof. Only problem is bathrooms are far and crowded. Oh and the $30 double scotch. We were on the floor last row but a great view. I am not sure what the nosebleed seats are like. The sound is perfect. Seats could be a little better, not that comfortable for a three hour play. Tip, eat at Vaca and valet park you car for $7.

Wonderful venue! I saw The Phantom of the Opera there and it was spectacular. No bad seats here.

Saw a ballet here and the theater was nice. It’s pretty big and I think serves a nice purpose for people who don’t want to go into LA. Parking was convenient, although a little pricey. One of the ushers we dealt with was a little rude to us when trying to ask about the handicap accessible seating; which is why I give it 4 stars. I would come back again if there was a show I was interested in.

This is the most beautiful performing art center in Orange County. I am proud to say that I am a frequent guest to this wonderful venue. I just enjoyed a Hamilton performance last night and so glad it came to Segerstrom.Segerstrom Hall is vast and each seat has a nice view of the stage. Balcony Row K had a great view from atop for $100 per seat. Not bad for such an incredible show with a cast of such talent.My dream was to see this show in NYC on Broadway; however, I am fully satisfied with Segerstrom Center of the Arts.Thank you Segerstrom, once again.

Beautiful event location. The main theater is absolutely stunning, great sound system, lighting board and curtain abilities. There are no bad seats in this theater. There are three complete levels and all of them are worth the price you pay.Ushers are very knowledgeable, very friendly and way beyond helpful.Bathrooms are clean and interesting. This is the first time Ive ever went into a bathroom that has a foot plunger. Theyre all set up for right footed people, but its nice to not have to touch the toilet bowl.If youre looking for a wonderful place to have an event such as a wedding, a theater production, or an awards banquet, you might want to look at Segerstrom Center.I even received an award tonight!If you enjoyed reading my review, please LIKE below and, as always, have an amazing life!

Such a lovely theatre! Very helpful staff and the place isn’t overly staunch about a dress code or having refreshments in the theatre. Clean and classy.

Always a good night out, and parking not ridiculous. The staff do a great job getting the cars out quickly.

Our first time in the Segerstrom Hall, the performance of A Bronx Tale was outstanding! Awesome musical

Amazing theater with amazing talent, my daughter and I loved it

The best floor weve ever danced on! Such a beautiful venue!

Was very nice place to see performance and the like.

I help a friend once in awhile with her catering business, everyone there are so pleasant and friendly and helpful to.

One of my favorite venues! Beautiful theater with great acoustics. Parking is so much more convenient and pleasant compared to parking in LA.

Champagne in a plastic cup is sparkling wine in a cup - nevertheless it is a wonderful way to start a fall evening performance of La Bayadere by the Mariinsky Ballet. The staff is professional, knowledgeable about the performance and always smiling. I look forward each year to the start of the ballet season. The outdoor patio area, is a place to sip sparkling wine and soak in the ambiance of a fall evening.Valet parking is $25.00 cash as of October 25th, but they are quick to bring your car around.

Its a very nice place for cultural events all around. I went to see the BMG show and unfortunately the stage seemed too small for them: the equipment, the background musicians, and sometimes the members would be out of sight from the side seats. I guess it all depends on the type of show and your seat.

Very beautiful place. And the vring very good shows. The only thing Im not sure if the have facilities for wheelchairs. All the place are stairs.

This was the 1st time visit to see the performance by Santiago Youth Orchestra and Prelude Orchestra at this wonderful center. The music was beautiful and the facility was great for any venue. Definitely, It is worthwhile to visit to fill your life with entertainments. The parkIng was convenient as you can special event park at Crown Parking Tower nearby.

Dia de Muertos..Lila Downs was super goodEnjoyed it very much .

I was in town and happened to see that there was a magician performing at 3PM on a Sunday afternoon. Tickets were listed as $50 per person on the Segerstrom Hall website, so my family traveled to the theater shortly before the show. Once we got there, we were offered tickets at $119 per person, and when we told them that they were $50 online, they gave us seats for $70 each; still much more than we were expecting to pay. The theater is quite large and our $70 tickets were near the last row, so the stage was quite hard to see. It would have been better if there were screens/televisions on each side of the screen to enlarge the performance at all times, but they did have a large screen for some of the acts.

Went to one of the family musical mornings here for the intergalactic event. It was amazing! The show was very entertaining (it included a funny skit that tied all the music together), they ended the performance with the title track to Star Wars (so awesome!!) and afterwards the kids did some crafts and tried some of the instruments. Overall I was very impressed. We want to go back next year when they play music from Harry Potter and other movies!

Been to this place several times and I dont get tired of it. The lighting and acoustics is awesome, high quality and amazingly beautiful. It seats a reasonable number perfect for concerts and plays. I would say the acoustics work best for classical music, so crisp and the sounds intricate. A jewel!!

Always a great venue full of interesting and outstanding performances and musical events and is surrounded by lots of excellent restaurants

I always feel refreshed when I visit this place for performances from world class artists. Conveniently located, parking is easy.

Beautiful inside and out. Easy access.

Free on plaza. This was a free art show there were 300 pieces from 125 artist s. And the prices seemed mighty reasonable.

Grand building and modern acoustics auditorium

The seating at Segerstrom is not sloped enough to provide good views of the stage. I had pretty good seats but a tall person sat in front of me and I could barely see the stage. Thats just bad design.

The design of the center is such that some seats have limited views, but these seats are not listed under partial blocked view. We asked steward, Dana, whether we could move a few seats down, as they were unoccupied and in the same category. He simply refused. My husband asked again, but he said no, they belong to me. We did not really understand what he meant, till later, we saw that he and another sterwardess were sitting there during the performance. Wish we could taken a picture of that.

Beautiful theater, easy parking. Lots of good restaurants nearby.

A beautiful center that books great musicals, musicians and dancers, staffed by kind and helpful people, and just a delight every time I come.

Nice place, but tickets are expensive, even for the highest seats.They honestly should also ask if people have issues with heights, as it might give you vertigo, especially when trying to get around with all the steps, much of which from an entry door has no complete railing, and what there is is only on one side!I dont think Ill go back, but it was a nice performance.

This place was excellent! We went to see the opera production Madame Butterfly and the place was very well kept and clean. The Segerstrom center is a good sized place for almost any type of event whether its a play, concert, opera etc. The attendants are pretty friendly and they help you find your seat. No breaks to the restroom though if your attending an event and you have the urge to go during the event you may go, but you will not be let back in to the main auditorium until the intermission. My suggestion for you is that if you need to use the restroom you should go during the intermission. They sell coffee, alcohol, and other items at the concession stands at the venue.

Very clean I went to see kodo Japanese drums. I love that place.

Great venue. Love the Kodo drummers!

Love this theatre! Is a great performance Hall. I have seen a few plays here and there is not a bad seat in the house but if you get the chance sit in the orchestra section a few rows back and you with have an outstanding experience. Highly recommend it.

Impressive venue. Interiors, exteriors and surrounding areas are a great place for a visit.

Saw Diana Krall and it was fantastic. The venue is beautiful and acoustics were great.

A beautiful performing arts center with very friendly staff that does an amazing job of orchestrating a large influx of people to get the show started. Ive been impressed with most traveling shows Ive seen here.

Great venue for arts and culture enrichment

Interesting theater / performing arts center. Very cool building. The grounds are nice as well.

Magnificent place, top of the line music

Wonderful place to see live events! Staff is wonderful and so helpful getting people to and from their seats!

Wow!!!!! If you get a chance to see Aladdin please take it! It was amazing! Just make sure you get there early enough to find parking.

It would have been spectacular seeing as how wed gotten there early yet had to circle the parking lot for 19 minutes trying to find a spot then the ticket attendants that we were on the phone with while in the parking lot, refusing to switch our tickets to a different day so we could see the entire show *while offering the later showing in the day at the same time so Im not sure the difference if they were already willing to switch the showing itself to later in the day even though it was only a literal few moments into the show starting . But. That being said what we were able to see of the show was very impressive and lovely...just started on a very sour note sadly...

Enjoyed Phantom of the opera! Had drinks before show, nice selection, not any more expensive than anywhere else when going out in Orange county. Parking 12$ good times.

Ive never had a bad seat here. Such a great place to enjoy the arts.

Always love seeing a show here. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the seats have always been good. Drink prices are high but its nice you can bring them to your seat.

Very grand venue. I highly recommend to attend ballet performances and broadway musicals here. Parking is easy where you can park either at the structure or at the South Coast Plaza mall. Never sit up the balcony unless you have no choice because the view is terrible up there. The orchestra has the best view. Will come back for more shows.

Some of my best musical memories made at this amazing place. Voctave, Beethovens Fifth, Bolero watched from the behind-the-stage choral section!

I and my three friends went there to watch a tap dance show which named the Dorrance Dance before a month ago. At first, I really love this show, thats amazing. Ive never imagined tap dancing would take on so many forms of article expression until I saw it. I was deeply moved by the choreography, the excellent dancing skills of the actors and their full emotions. Besides, I really like this place. The whole building is beautiful, especially in the light at night thats really stunning! I would definitely come back.

A wonderful campus for the performing arts. We have enjoyed Broadway shows, the Pacific Symphony and intimate performances. We love it!

Great shows. Parking is a little hectic. Place is clean and comfortable

Great venue to see plays and musicals. The unusual layout of the seating levels ensures a very good view from most seats.

Beautiful theater. We watched the Blueman Group play and it was amazing, my kids and I loved it.

Super snazzy and very kept up as in super clean and great service here!! Definitely coming back for an event in the future

For our local theater it checks all the boxes. Wish some of the upper terraces has more leg room but it will do.

World class performing art venue. Great location. Dont get balcony seats. Theyre never worth the tight squeeze.

Such a beautiful venue, Blue Man was amazing, great experience!!! The pride of Costa Mesa, always great events

Great theater. Parking excellent. Valet parking. Snacks and bar. Friendly staff.

Great place for a concert. Saw Legendary Christmas what a great show

Beautiful Arts venue, love this theater and Im always wanting to come to see more amazing shows. Very clean and great building.

The theater itself is large and beautiful, fairly modern too. The price of food/drinks here is a bit rediculous, and they dont have a whole lot to offer either, though I suppose thats to be expected at a theater.

The ABBA show was awesome. I regularly go to Segerstrom and the venue is superb.

Such a beautiful theater and the staff is excellent

Great theater venue. Its a large complex, so make sure you know which location you are going to. The website has parking suggestions which are helpful. The ladies facilities are crowded, so make sure you give yourself a bit of time, but lines move quickly - they are planned well so you have separate doors to enter and exit. Bells let you know when the theater doors open and 5 minute warnings. Enjoyed our first visit.

School of Rock was absolutely stellar. The children were mindblowing as they rocked out on their instruments and the energy and exuberance they emitted during the show.

Incredibly lovely!!! Perfect evening

Very nice venue. Good views, great sound, and cocktails too boot.

ABT primere of Of Love And Rages was wonderful

Very nice venue, great views from all seats. Fantastic show

I have seen many great performances here!! The acoustics are amazing, and I have had seats from the front row to the balcony, and they are all great! If you can get yourself invited to the Center Room for intermission, it is even more special!!

Absolute top-drawer performances! The facilities are gorgeous. And they even have monkey 47 gin available at the bar. The free jazz series on Friday nights is an extra bonus.

Visited for the first time yesterday. Amazing experience will be going back for sure.

Beautiful! Fantastic broadway plays and symphony performances! Kind, friendly helpful customer service!

Beautiful place. The shows are great.Just wish there was a dress code for evening programs. I was next to someone in sweats, tennis shoes and smelled as if they just come from the gym. I know its 2018, but come on really?! Lets dress a little nicer for something like this.

Saw Anastasia. Love seats a bit hard to hear. Parking was crazy but getting out was easier.
