Wow wow wow! I just love this community theater! The quality of the performances and the set, music, wardrobe, etc. are all top notch. The pride, love, respect and talent is evident. Run don't walk to their latest performance, The Little Mermaid. It's an intimate sized theater so even if you're in the back row, it's like you're in the front row. You can't go wrong with any seat. Ursula, Sebastian, Prince Eric, Flounder and Ariel were my favorite performers. However, to be honest, each performer young and older did a fantastic job! Some tips: - Plenty of parking. - Only one restroom for each gender so be aware. - Refreshments sold on premises. - Participate in their raffle for a chance to win and to support them.

Their latest production "Journey to Christmas" is a wonderful way to get in to the holiday spirit! The show has classic holiday songs with a modern twist. Wonderful vocals, live band, and choreography paired with amazing lighting and projection makes it worth your money, for sure. It's a great all-ages show that highlights great OC talent.

You will be so happy you did! read more

I've been to all of Musical Theatre Orange County shows but this last production of Beauty and the Beast. I'm so sorry I missed it! This organization does everything top notch! It's the next best show to watch outside of Broadway. The people who represent this organization have nothing but love for theatre and that's why these shows are the best. They put their heart and soul into all the unbelievable work that goes into theatre. They are great people and the cast of the shows are also just as great. They truly become a family. I'm so happy for their success and wish them many, many more years of it. Whether you live in the OC or outside, I highly recommend you go. You won't regret it and will be totally hooked on live theatre! read more

If you're in town in #southerncalifornia until the end of the month you absolutely #mustsee this #production of #tarzan put on by @mtocfans This is 100% a professional production as good or better than anything you will see in #la and a waaaaaay better deal. This is not just for children although my kids did love it. You will laugh, possibly cry, and definitely cheer! The #actors / #singers #dancers were so #amazing , Then venue is brand new with not a bad seat in the house. I highly suggest getting an orchestra seat. We were on the side in row B and it was perfect because you could literally reach out and almost touch them and I could go on and on. #justdoit #go you won't regret it! read more

My family and I attended Journey to Christmas and it was fantastic! I'd highly recommend this show to anyone. Great music, great choreography, and the production value was very, very high. read more

I had the distinct pleasure of enjoying MTOC's Mary Poppins today...all I can say is WOW what an amazing show! I can't say I was surprised because I have attended many stellar shows over the years put on by MTOC, a truly exquisite gem in Orange County. Not only is the talent top notch (I seriously felt like I was watching THE Mary Poppins...'cuz I was)! Bert was great too and they were so cute together! I loved all of the songs and dance numbers but Step in Time was unforgettable and so were all the special effects throughout the show. It was really so well done in every way, I even got a lil misty during the show but left feeling so happy! So do yourself a favor and go see this show next weekend...if you can still get tickets! I predict sellout shows based on the standing ovation received by the all star cast today! Anything can happen if you let it! read more

I LOVE MTOC!! I have been attending this community theater for years; Wizard of Oz, Hair Spray, Tarzan, Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat, ( just to name a few ). I would never miss! The owners Mitch and Lori are the most loving and caring people, who mentor these children actors like they are their own! These performances are as enjoyable as when I go to Broadway shows (without the huge price tag for admission.) These kids are dedicated to be the best with choreography, voice and acting. The venue is perfect for great seats, space for concessions and the stage allows MTOC to use their skills for lighting , sets and special effects. I strongly recommend these shows for the whole family and look forward to the shows every July! read more

Fantastic theater group! Great family fun to be had at a really quality production. The talent in this group is amazing. The dedication by the crew to support these performers is stellar. Best of all, everyone involved looks like they are having a great time. I've been to two of their productions and I'm looking forward to the next ones... read more

MTOC gives such amazing performances, from Staging,choreography,costumes, etc. I've seen 4 shows and I'm always blown away and always loo forward to seeing the next show. They never disappoint. If you love musicals, you need to go to one of theirs. read more

Good musical, good singing, good costumes and good props. I took my wife there, she enjoyed it. I on the other hand apparently found sleep more enjoyable. (Joking) the Tarzan story was different than the movie and I was hoping for more mmm action/skits. But as far as musicals go I'd say it's 3rd best I've ever seen.... (I've only seen 3 live musicals) read more

My wife and I just got home from attending tonight's performance of Into The Woods and I had to write a review. The word "Amazing" falls short of just how wonderful the cast and the entire play was. All of the parts were perfectly played and sung by some of the most talented actors and actresses we have ever seen. This is the second MTOC event we have attended and have been blown away each time. We are fans for life and can't wait until the next production! read more

We LOVE coming to MTOC's productions!!! We look forward to seeing their summer show every year, and now they are performing a perfect family Christmas show "Journey to Christmas" that we just saw, and LOVED it!!! Their shows are stunning, and they put their hearts into everything they do!! Amazing family, who puts together incredible shows!!! You don't want to miss their productions!!! We love MTOC!!! read more

MTOC production level is outstanding. The theatre company gives attention to details that many audience members overlook. Lighting design, set design, sound design, make up technique, wardrobe design, and direction. By visiting the website photos and digital media give only a glimpse into the actual production value. For those that have an opportunity to enjoy an MTOC production take time to enjoy all the details of resplendent professional production value. https://www.mtoc.org read more

These guys are awesome. So loving, caring, encouraging and super professional! The shows they put on are STELLAR! Magical! I was so happy when they opened up classes and workshops- my daughter has grown a lot working with this wonderful team and I look forward to seeing the next show- Tarzan! read more

Love this studio! Very professional and so supportive of my daughter.

Randomly stumbled across this place by their Facebook page, and thought, "why not, I like Beauty And The Beast, I'll give this a shot." Got here, and pulled up to what looks like a high school. Open up the program and see that there are high schoolers, and younger kids in this production. I began to grow a bit skeptic, and wondered if this was worth the $25 I had spent. Let me tell you, it was worth every penny. I was vey much shocked at how great the production value was. The costumes, the sets, and the actors did such a wonderful job. If you're in town, I would highly recommend coming to watch a show here!! :) read more

MTOC always puts on spectacular shows, but Journey to Christmas was really something special. Creative twists on classic songs and tying it all back to the reason for the season made for a wonderful production. Highly recommend! read more

We just went to see the MTOC holiday show Journey to Christmas. What a wonderful show - good for the whole family and a perfect way to get into the holiday spirit! The cast is unbelievably talented. I loved the selection of songs performed, the creative sets and costumes. Such attention to detail to make the show absolutely perfect. Please support this family-run, local theater company - take your family and friends out for a spectacular evening of Christmas joy. You won't be sorry! read more

A must experience that shouldn't be missed. The music, singing, dancing and visuals are absolutely stunning. I want to see it over and over again so I am able to see everything that I may have missed the first time. This is the highest caliber entertainment that encapsulates the true spirit of Christmas. Thanks MTOC read more

I will be eternally grateful to MTOC and the Atkins family! Being a part of 2011's Wizard of Oz production has brought one of THE most wonderful and passionate experiences into my life!!! As terrifying as it was to act for the first time and enter an unknown place, I quickly came to realize what a warm, loving, and utterly gracious non-profit family this was. They never seem to forget to count their blessings, which is why I believe they are showered one after another from finding totally awesome people to work with, to professionally handling last minute changes and challenges this inherent hectic business brings. They have nothing but delivering the highest quality in standards for production value from costumes, to sets & lighting, to makeup, photography, choreography, vocal, and direction. It's so inspiring to see how through everyone's volunteer and commitment, they are able to make these beautiful and elaborate plays come to life. Come see these top-notch broadway quality theatricals and this encouraging, dedicated organization help kids of all ages, (and even adults like myself) make their dreams come true! Love always, The Wicked Witch read more

Very professional productions in all aspects. Great talent, beautiful costumes and extremely well crafted sets. Wonderful people keeping theater alive and inspiring young performers by giving them a spectacular outlet for their creative expression. read more

MTOC is the gold standard in professional live musical theater. The first show I attended was Tarzan, and it was better then going to Broadway. They do not miss the slightest nuance. Lighting, costumes, sets, concession were all perfect. The performers used microphones, as the theater seats 600, and the sound engineers really knew what they were doing. Performers go through an intense audition process to hopefully be selected. Many times theater goers see a show, at MTOC, you experience theater magic. There is nothing like it! read more

We saw Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat last summer and it was Amazing! This production was the best show we saw all summer! Such a talented cast, and directed and produced by a group of people that truly love what they do and want to share that experience with others! This summer is Hairspray and we can't wait!! read more

Consistently great shows with a high level of talent and production values.
