We went last Wednesday to see Table 17. There was a power outage so we were automatically given an option to see the Table 17 this week and we did. The staff is very accommodating. I definitely will be back.
Very nice theater. Beautiful inside and out. No parking for the theater, there's one gatage it's next door and quite a walk. There is paid street parking. The staff and service was excellent. Everyone greeting you with a smile and wished you a good time upon entering and a good day upon leaving.
I can’t believe I haven’t seen a play at the Geffen yet! What a beautiful little theatre, (only 500 seats) intimate and yet it still has the same energy as a bigger venue. I love that it is on the westside and has easy parking and is in walking distance from some great restaurants in Westwood. Their little courtyard was so beautiful in the evening with its pretty lights and fountain. My new favorite place!
Great location with plenty of parking and food choices all around. The actual theater was very quaint and cozy. I really enjoyed it.
Geffen Playhouse is a relatively small theater venue. It is just perfect to attend a show there with friends and family. Prices vary by show and seating area. But, really, I can't imagine a bad seat here. It's located within walking distance to do many wonderful Westwood restaurants. We saw Noises Off and it was hysterical. The actors were so talented. And at times, each one of the small cast individually carried the show. Literally every one of the actors was impressive. Some of our favorite parts were superbly choreographed scenes of slapstick physical comedy. The theater warned of sexually explicit content but I didn't think there was anything offensive. Maybe a few F-bombs but that's it. The atmosphere is for everybody. There were people of all ages, teenagers to seniors. And everything from jeans to cocktail attire. You can bring in your purchased drinks and that's nice. The play was 2 hours 30 minutes with two intermissions. The seats are comfy for a small theater. The lobby walls are lined with posters of past shows and it's something you'll want to see! The staff is always friendly and super helpful. The restrooms are clean and spacious. Highly recommended to anyone interested in live theater whether it's your first time or you're seasoned.
