There's a lot of free parking on the street, or there's a paid lot across the way…read more I came here for Sweeney Todd, a musical that I've been dying to see for years. This production is absolutely fantastic! The staff is all so super friendly! Everyone I talked to was amazing! I got the special Sweeney Espressotini and is that one great drink! I loved it! The show itself is phenomenal! You can definitely feel the love they put into the whole production, between the techs, the orchestra, and the actors! Support your local theater!!! Everything here is worth it!

I've seen 3 productions here. I see a lot of theatre around town including most all the tours. What…read morefirst caught my eye was the great line up. The theatre is very nice, clean bathrooms, free parking. Price is reasonable... but I must say for being a small local theatre, the talent is SUPERB. Very, very good actors. Sometimes seeing a regional production in a small theatre the talent is questionable, but not here. With their excellent track record, I would consider seeing any show here. One suggestion is the concession stand is very, very slow and crowded. I wonder if there is a way to get it to move faster at all? I'd also consider putting 4-6 tables outside on the sidewalk. the Lobby is pretty crowded and the outdoor seating would be very appealing.

If you come to Knott's often then you know this is where they have the ice skating rink and put on…read morean amazing Christmas show. They have about 4 or 5 performances throughout the day but my advice is to get there early if you want a good seat. If the show has a start time of 1PM we would typically start waiting in line at around 12PM. Even then you probably won't be the first people in line but you will still get a good seat. Once the line starts getting long they start making people go up the ramp and start making line up there. Be aware if you start going up your whole party must be with you as they will not let anyone go up that is left downstairs. Be aware that in this are you must fill in all the empty space. People do try to cut to get to the front so just be aware of that. Once they open the doors you enter from all the way up top unless you are handicapped then you are let in downstairs. You can choose to sit up top which is still a nice view but if you want to be up close you will need to make your way down all the stairs to make it to the front. As far as the show for the 2024 season they did change it up and make a just a little bit more modern which I loved. The performers all did an amazing job and of course we all love seeing the peanuts characters perform on ice. It was a great show and I hope they keep it the same next year or if they do change it I hope it is for the better. I do miss the summer show that they used to put on in this theatre. I'm not sure why they got rid of it but I hope they bring it back one day. If you come here during the holidays this is a must see show for all ages.

This year's performance, entitled "Merry Christmas Snoopy" is quite brilliant! Tourists gain entry…read moreto Knott's Berry Farm and experience major adrenaline rushes when riding Knott's roller coasters. However during the months of November through the first week in January, there's and added treat: Snoopy on Ice. You do not have to pay an extra fee to watch this performance as it is included in the price of admission. Located in the southwest corner of Knotts' property is The Charles M. Schulz Theater. Showtimes vary depending upon the day of the week so be sure to pick up a schedule as you enter the park. It is not uncommon to see a long line stretching around the corner or to arrive 20 minutes prior to showtime only to discover that the arena is full. I highly recommend that you arrive 40 minutes to one hour before showtime to secure a seat. Once seated inside, the fun begins. The skating rink seems rather small but a lot is accomplished within this space. Charlie Brown and Linus will open the show, reviewing the rules for watching the performance: ex. no flash photography or video recording. Throughout the performance, you'll notice some religious undertones as recalled by Linus. A bit of a historical/patriotic tribute also takes center stage as figure skaters reenact scenes of soldiers returning from war in the 1940s. The music played in the background compliments each scene. It's absolutely beautiful! Snoopy is the star of the show and he is able to execute each move with ease. He never ignores the audience, often coming to three points on the stage (left, center, and right side) so that audience members can take photos during the performance. Snow (soap foam) falls from the ceiling to imitate snowfall during the winter season. Professional ice skaters perform moves effortlessly just like some of the best Olympians. The combination of talented professionals and Snoopy results in an unforgettable show that appeals to people of all ages from various walks of life. The most awe-inspiring/emotional part of the show is when Snoopy awaits the arrival of doves that fly toward him and land on the stage. Some might be startled as the doves fly over their heads, but it's truly a magical moment. Snoopy on Ice is a show that should not be missed if you are at Knott's Berry Farm during the winter months. Who doesn't enjoy watching trained professionals perform in an intimate setting with the help of "America's Favorite Beagle"? Merry Christmas Snoopy is a beautiful, uplifting performance that the entire family will enjoy.

We came here for my sister's birthday this time. Made a birthday announcement for $10. We got here…read moreearly for drinks. I got Kate's revenge cocktail for $18. It was so good, love the purée. Too bad I always get heartburn. I need to remember to bring something to combat that. I forgot what my sister's drink was, but mine was better! I ordered all our extras ahead of time. I got a lobster, but our waiter forgot it and gave it to me when I already was finished with my food. It was pretty good. I'm glad my lobster wasn't overcooked or dry. He also gave us extra sides for the mistake. We also got the lava cake. I liked that better than the dessert that comes with it. It just has better flavor and it wasn't extremely sweet. The show we picked was vampirates! We tried seeing this last year, but chose the wrong day. I like this one a lot. I'm just glad it was a different story. I've seen the original one a few times. It's nice to change it up. I didn't have the best seat in the orange section because a pole was in my way for most of the action in the main stage. Our vampirate Andre was cool. The toughest vamp! He was the strongest one and I liked his story line. I like that he ended up being good in the end instead of a bloodthirsty killer like Sebastian. Love to see it again next year or maybe the Christmas one that's coming up.

Honestly I think this is a great deal considering live theater and plays and a set dinner would be…read morethe price of a ticket each. Don't eat beforehand as it's really filling. The actors are talented, I was honestly impressed they were able to keep it up for an hour and a half, the aerial silk portion was beautiful and the staff were so great and interactive! I'm so happy to see entertainment like this in Orange County and hope we can keep these types of magical fun experiences alive. It's definitely geared more towards kids, I think it's great for families but not bad for adults as well, the pirates come and talk to you and it's very interactive. Lots of members in the cast. It's a little hard to hear what they're saying in the microphone. I think the company should do monthly themes and different storylines so people who have already been would go again. The show felt a little long I think it could be good to shorten it a bit. Food was fine! Salad was ok. Chicken I didn't think was too bad it was fairly good and they had salt and pepper at the table. Mashed potatoes were good and veggies weren't too bad. Not a fan of the dessert it was more like a packaged brownie. Soft drink and refills were included, the fruit punch was so good! Didn't need to arrive early, not too much to do beforehand but they take pictures and offer for you to buy them. $40-$65 The shop items don't have prices except for the jewelry. It's right next to Porto's which I was really happy about so I could stop by after. Great pirates, especially our blue team guy! and we had a great server.

I would highly recommend this beautiful grand theater with a drop curtain and LOTS of seating!! I would say especially if you're sore and tired and looking to relax! I know we were! It opened in 2015 in Hollywood Land, located at Disney California Adventure Park. We are looking forward to returning to hopefully check out more movies! :D

This pertains to when they used this as a line for the WandaVision photo spot…read more OK because they really needed better instructions and lighting at night. One of the fun features is to do the photo through the TV, but there's no hands-free setup for that, also the TVs were not lighted up so they would come out as dark frames against the backdrop. The hands free setup is literally a SLOT that you put your phone in and hopefully with your TIMER setting (since selfie sticks are not allowed) you can run back and forth and not make anyone else in line shoot stares of death as you check your photo again. JUST GIVE an EMPLOYEE GLOVES so they can take the photos for you, I'd say if I was at the meeting. Anyways, its a couch. and i guess you come out as color and the background is like B&W set? I think so, but my photos are all blurry.
