We enjoyed the stay. The staff was really nice. Only problem is we requested a room a night before we originally were to go. They set us up in a very pricey room for one night before we had to check out to check back into our original room
Most recent visit was to see "She Loves Me", playing thru March 8th at the historic and intimate Horton Grand Theatre! What a perfect venue for watching live theatrical productions. Big enough to give a a BIG broadway feel yet intimate enough where there is not a bad seat in the house. Home to San Diego Musical Theatre's year round productions - I can not wait to see "RENT", "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN", "42nd Street", Little Shop of Horrors" and finally, a San Diego Favorite - "A Christmas Story"! I can't wait to see how this theater "transforms" into each show as they did such a remarkable job for "She Loves Me"! A true gem!
Went to see Crazy For You with a group of seventeen from Academy of Dance Arts and had a most wonderful experience. I saw the Broadway production of Crazy For You many years ago. I assumed that this production wouldn't be able to compare....I was wrong. The show I saw Sunday was the most professional show I've seen put on by a community theater group. The casting, directing, sets, chreography, costumes, and cast all spot on. All of you associated with this production should be very proud of all your hard work and the long hours it took to create such wonderful entertainment. Thank you and thanks to the Gershwins, whose music was introduced to a new generation through your efforts.
Great Venue with Great Productions. Can't say enough good things about the theater or San Diego Musical Theater. Absolutely top notch, as good as anything I've seen on NYC Broadway but in a intimate setting that doesn't feel small. Live music, great sets, fantastic choreography, first class acting, quality directing and casting brings a truly magical theater experience.
We attended the showing of Young Frankenstein with friends on Friday night. This is our second time at this venue. We attended “Mixed Tapes” a few years back. The venue itself is nothing special, but it’s small, so any seat will do. But we were in the 3rd row, which was great. Their production of Young Frankenstein is fantastic. It’s extremely funny, and a little bit sexy too. It mimics they movie very well. My favorite was Christine Hewitt as Frau Blucher. SO FUNNY! I was also impressed with the singing. Special kudos to Melina Kalomas as Elizabeth. What pipes!. Showing off that wedding ring until the final curtain! The monster was extremely funny too. And was that Gene Wilder up there playing Frederick Frankenstein! Wow! Really, every character - Igor, Inga, inspector Kemp - was fantastic. Best show I’ve been to in many years.
