Beautiful architecture, intimate venue with excellent visibility for audiences. The box seats are well placed. This theatre is adjacent to a hotel and a mall so it’s a convenient option if one wants to check in overnight after the show. The restaurant row is just about 5 minutes away.

I came here tonight for the Shin Lim performance of his Limitless show. The building is very nice inside and the architect of the stairs are amazing. The lighting and sound was also spectacular. The only issue was when my girlfriend went to use the girls bathroom and she said some of the stall wouldnt lock correctly.

The Cerritos Center for Performing Arts in nearby Cerritos is a leading venue hosting about 150 live performances throughout the year.Concerts, dance performances, and live theater are some of the events hosted. In the past, the theater has featured well-known performers such as Frank Sinatra and Whitney Houston.

Saw the Kinky Boots musical matinee. Excellent production and performances. The theater building itself is amazing, with box seats along the side walls like an old opera house. (It has its own YouTube video showing how the floors, walls and ceiling can move.) Theres a full theater bar as well as free parking (which is ample on Sundays).

We had a good experience, we were seated in the second level and had a great view, production was top notch. The ushers were very helpful and friendly. A little pricer than other performing centers but the fact that parking is free makes up for it. Unlike other performing centers they do not offer discounts for children, students or seniors.

I saw Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons here this past Saturday. It was a fantastic show and around 2+ hrs. Frankie still has the voice for being 85 years old. The music is just as good as it was 50-60 years ago. Im glad I got to see him and his band with my parents. Grease is still the word!

Nice small venue. Saw Jay Leno live. If you ever have a chance to see him do it. Never laughed so much for 90 minutes straight. Going to see Frankie Valle there next week.

This is a great theater/performing arts center. Its a good size, but not too big, so youre able to enjoy performances no matter where you sit. They even have a little bit of food/snacks available for purchase. This place is kept very clean. Because they use a lot of volunteers as ushers, they have great seating services. Theres plenty of parking around the theater. You can also go to eat at multiple restaurants nearby. It is near the 91 freeway, so its easily accessible.

The side boxes return you to the golden age of Opera houses. The acoustics have been revamped so you feel the music pulse through your body. Amazing ambiance from entering the Grand Hall to the winding staircase to the interior theatre!! Excellent venue for any type of performance!

Review №17

Its a beautiful theater with all kind of performances. I would give 5 stars but they charge too much for relatively known artists. Many are not even known. They had hypnotic act; variables performance acts for Christmas; symphony; circus; Broadway musicals etc. They will have Jay Leno beginning of next year - he certainly gets around - tickets $80-125! You could see him for $35 at Comedy club in Hermosa Beach.

Weve come here for a few shows now (all 3D Theatricals - they are AMAZING!!), and really enjoy this venue! Did you know the theater can actually be reconfigured? We went to a show yesterday where the stage was actually in the center and everyone sat around it. Really cool concept!

Went to see the Temptations. Though only one of the original members is in the group it was amazing. The group as constructed sounds as they did in 1961. Non stop music from begin in to end with all the hits. If your old or young this 90 minutes is worth the ticket price. If they are in your area see them.

Beautiful venue. Just the right size. Not too big and overwhelming like some theaters. I primarily go to see the 3D theatricals perform. They have some of the best performers that have talent above and beyond what I have seen in a smaller venue. Staff and volunteers are very nice and helpful. Plenty of parking.

Just saw Shrek, the Musical. Its a really fun show -. particularly good for the kids. The sets were amazing and the actors really played to the audience. The venue is not elegant, but relaxed and nice. The seats were a little short, though. Would have liked them to be more comfortable.

Review №34

The building is beautiful. Free parking and its an easy theater to get in and out of. Better leg room then Segerstrom. The reason for only 4 stars is because the website showed that they were sold out for the function. The box office was called and there were still tickets available, but apparently only the more expensive ones. When we showed up for the event there was TONS of open seats. This was annoying because we couldve gotten cheaper seats and the center couldve made a lot more money and sold more seats if their website didnt show they they had no more seats available.

This was our first visit to this performing arts center. We saw A Gentlemans Guide to Love and Murder and it was very well done. Our usher described the place to us more and we found out that it was one of 2 facilities in the world that could change its configuration to best suit the production or performance. I cant remember the right number but it was like 60 something or more configurations the place could do. Amazing!

Just came here for the first time April 13, 2019 for Matt Mauser and the Frank Sinatra Band - was a great show at a great venue !The theatre is moderately sized but there is absolutely nothing moderate about the architectural design - that in itself is worth the price of admission ! Absolutely stunning !Every seat in the house is good seat. We sat in the Gold Circle Level off to one side and the view of the stage and sound were spectacular.They have beautiful decor, wide spiral staircase, glass panels, granite, limestone, a fireplace, and quaint little seating areas to chat or enjoy the food and drinks they offer while you wait before the show to begin.Definitely look forward to coming here again !

This is an excellent venue for the arts. The architecture looks weird on the outside, but the performance space is well-designed. The quality of performances varies widely and they lack an anchor group of performers, but it is a great place to see a show.

Review №84

We have been attending events there since it opened. While the show was excellent, the seating was horrific. The stage was low and most of the seats were on the flat floor. As a result, most peoples views were blocked by the heads of whoever was sitting in front of them. I expected better for more than $100.

Review №85

Cerritos Center is a wonderful concert venue offering diversified performances, especially great for Baby Boomers. I recently enjoyed Frankie Avalon, Olivia Newton-John, Doo-Wop, and Carol Burnett. The staff here is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Every seat has a great view.I recently chose box seating and loved the privacy. Usually a meet & greet with performers after their show...COS and other memorabilia available. Parking is convenient but I still arrive 30-40 minutes early for my favorite spot. Nearby restaurants are a big plus and the Sheraton is next door for concert goers desiring a an overnight. Get your tickets early..many concerts sell out quickly.
