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.

They do 2 shows that I know of, Beach Blanket Beagle which is in the summer and Snoopy on Ice. The…read morestadium holds up to 2000 people. I prefer the Snoopy on Ice versus Beach Blanket Beagle, but both shows are pretty good and entertaining. They do sell show light up neon sticks which can interfere with your eyes as well. I will not review the show itself, but the best seat is up in front 2nd row in the middle as you can see everything. I never sat up in front for Beach Blanket Beagle though. They also have events there as well as I remember in high school the award ceremony was there. Oh yes no eating or drinking during the show and make sure your entire party is there.

We visited Pirates Dinner Adventure on a field trip with 41 students and 4 adults, and overall it…read morewas a great experience. They were very welcoming to our large group, and seating was smooth and well-organized. The service was impressive given our group size--staff stayed attentive and kept things moving efficiently. The show is the highlight--very entertaining, interactive, and engaging from start to finish. They involve the audience often, bringing both kids and adults into the action. The cast includes pirates, a mermaid, a princess, and a captain performing acrobatic and agility stunts that kept everyone fully engaged. We had the basic food package: a garden salad, chicken dinner for adults, and chicken nuggets with mac and cheese for students, plus a brownie for dessert and included soft drinks. The food is simple but good--definitely filling, but not the main attraction. There are also upgraded appetizers, entrées, and desserts available for an additional cost. At $43.95 for a show, drink, and three-course meal, it's a solid value. You'll leave full and entertained--just don't come expecting gourmet dining. Compared to Medieval Times Dinner & Tournament, Pirates Dinner Adventure feels more interactive and offers more comfortable seating, with a similar level of food quality. Overall, a fun and memorable experience--especially great for groups and field trips!

The chicken was partially dry and partially juicy. The tomato bisque tasted like they juiced tomatoes, and the corn was dry. The eclair was my favorite; not too sweet and also creamy. Most things tasted pretty dry but that's okay since they're known for the show. The servers there were kind and served our food quickly. The show was super fun and the energy that the crowd brought was amazing! Would recommend if you've never been.

I would give this review 5 stars if not for the average weak-voiced Blood, Sweat, and Tears singer.

LA is too expensive to rent space for this wonderful and fairly priced circus so they go a bit out side of LA, to Lakewood, Downey or Buena Park. It is such great fun and you have to go and take a kid or ten with you. These circuses are struggling so support them. They have performers from all over the world. All of the acts are great and the clowns are funny and they go into the audience. They don't have a bad seat in the house. And again, the prices are so far and they always have specials. Just go to their website and sign up for emails when they are in your area, which could be anywhere. The place is so cute with great popcorn, face painting and toys. It is everything a kid could want.

My husband and I came to her just one month before our wedding with no dance experience at all, asking for a choreographed dance. She listened carefully to our song choice and created a beautiful, fun routine that made us feel confident and comfortable.

She was truly the only one who offered exactly what we needed. Thanks to her, our first dance was a huge hit at our wedding! We couldn't be happier and highly recommend RICA Dance Studio and Coach Anna for any of your dance needs.

I want to say that the theater holds maybe 75-100 people...? Comfy seats and every seat is a great view. Prices are great, our last show was $39 each. The actors are fun and you can tell they absolutely love doing what they do. They are there to make everyone happy including themselves and their fellow castmates. There is a bar with drinks and snacks, we've even seen shirts for sale! We are considering purchasing a "B Season Pass" so we don't miss out on the shows this coming year, some sell out fast! I hate to even give a great review because I don't want people to buy up all the seats from under us, but yet I want to also give this theater a huge and happy round of applause for being FANTASTIC!! We will see you again soon! Cheers!

Everyone is amazing and gracious in spite of doing this over and over and I'm certain no two shows are the same. I would only change one thing and that is that the theater request all guests to have a slight bit of theater etiquette. I understand this is an audience friendly show with interactions between cast and audience, some of these families do not prepare their children for how to behave nor correct inappropriate behavior during the performance. At last night's show a young boy hit "Billy" so hard with the stuffed rabbit that his glasses flew into my lap 5 feet away. We noticed "Billy" had a band aid on the rest of the show. Whether that was a joke or real, the boy should have been reined in by his parents long before because he was also talking or shouting out through the performance. The cast handled it with ultimate professionalism and rolled with the "punches" as it were. This truly shows how amazing they all are and why The Maverick is a great place to see a show. Now if they would just do Clue on stage again ;-)

And when I thought I hit my plateau, Te Varua Ori and Angela have definitely opened my eyes and saved the dancer in me. Angela is an extremely creative dancer, very strong in technique and skill, but so passionate within every movement. Watching her dance really captivate you and motivates you. Their lead drummer, Kalisi, is sooooooo freakin dope. I couldn't begin to fathom how crazy genius this guy is when it comes down to creating beats per Angela's movements. Everyone is so friendly, but has a good sense to strive to be the best. I also have to say this is the best looking group I've ever been with. Everyone is beautiful both inside and out! But what really is unique is how all of the other dancers and drummers have this natural vibe; like everyone feeds off of each other's energy. I kid you not, this group has it's own spirit that every dancer dreams of. The love. The drive. The unity. It's all there at Te Varua Ori. Try it for yourself, or come to one of our shows... You'll see what i mean.

It is a close knit group but has a very warm, welcoming, and supportive atmosphere. Angela the director is an amazing teacher/dancer and a very creative choreographer.

If you love to dance (or play drums!), hear your heart thumping to drum beats, or just like to have a good time and destress while getting the workout of a lifetime, this is the place to be!
