The lobby was very clean and shiny, and the restrooms were large and clean. The theatre's interior was very beautiful and comfortable. Every comfortable seat in the theatre offers a perfect view of the stage, and the sound system was perfect. The employees were all very friendly and professional, and they assisted anyone and everyone who needed help. Though the music was a tad different from what we are used to on the radio, the performers worked hard and did a GREAT job of keeping the audience engaged and entertained.

I sat in the Queen Elizabeth section and loved being so close to the action. The production was funny, lively, and incredibly engaging. After thoroughly enjoying last year's production of Much Ado About Nothing, I knew I wanted to return and so glad I did! This isn't the Shakespeare some people might expect. There was laughter, dancing, singing, plenty of clever satire, a mix of Shakespearean and modern English, and Spanish. The entire cast was fantastic! I especially enjoyed "Frank" and "Cayo", although everyone did an amazing job! Sitting so close to the actors really pulls you into the performance and allows you to feel every emotion. It was such a fun and entertaining evening, and looking forward to next year! Be sure to put it on your reminder list for next season. This year's production ends at the end of the month, and unfortunately, the remaining performances are sold out!

The performers were excellent and obviously they have a fantastic director!! From costumes, to stage design, lighting, choreographer all went well together! I have been to enough plays and performances to say this theater is definitely special and if you get a chance you should go watch a play here. There is a big parking structure so parking is not a problem and it's a short walk to the theater from there.

Parking is easy, since there is a parking structure across the street. $15 fee is not a bad deal. You can also park for free across the street in the South Coast Plaza. Going to LA Pantages, is always a struggle, since parking is difficult to find and the area is full of homeless and sketchy people. Overall, we enjoy coming to this theater.

I am a huge Avenue Q fan and I have been trying to catch their show but I missed them the last time…read morethey were in town at the Pantages Theatre. This year I was on top of their schedule and I was pleased to discover that they would be performing at the Claire Trevor Theatre at UC Irvine. I was able to purchase tickets for the event online and the tickets were mailed to me within a week. There are discounted tickets for military, seniors, students and of course ALUMNI!! Zot Zot!! If you are not familiar with the UCI campus, I recommend parking at the Mesa Parking Structure (4004 Mesa Rd, Irvine, CA). Level 3 has a bridge that connects the structure over to the Arts Plaza. If you don't see a map, just keep an eye out for building #711. If you see box office windows, you have successfully located the Claire Trevor Theatre. The Claire Trevor Theatre was originally known as the Village Theatre. It later became renamed after legendary Emmy and Oscar Award winning actress Claire Trevor. Not only was so talented in the arts, but she was also a philanthropist. In her retirement she spent a lot of time with the UCI School of the Arts and their students. Upon her death her family donated $10 million to the school and thus the school had the money to rebuild the theater and to rename it in her honor. If you are not familiar with Avenue Q, they are a Tony award winning musical that is an adult version of Sesame Streets. Their performance addresses real social issues that we face in our lives. They addressed controversial issues like racism and homosexuality and how things would be better if we were honest about our feelings. They question one's purpose in life and how to deal with disappointment. Most importantly they stressed out that helping others is a reward in itself and it can bring you fulfillment when you are feeling lost. The performance was spectacular!! It was beyond the scope of my expectations. I am trying really hard to sensor myself to not ruin the plot for anyone who has not seen it. I just want to commend all of the cast who were SO TALENTED!! They were able to make the puppets portray real emotions and real arm movements all while singing and being in complete sync with their character. I have the upmost respect for their skills and passion for the stage. My favorite character and the character I relate to the most is Kate Monster and I wanted to cry during one of her songs, "There's a fine, fine line between love... And a waste of time."

The actors of this play were awesome and well prepared and professional. The storyline was excellent and easy to comprehend especially with today's climate and political highly unpopular.

You get some perks with admission but other than that it's cashless and you need to pay for activities such as feeding the animals or the crafts. Pumpkins are $1.39 a lb. If you want to take spooky time pics or take your child here you might be able to spend a good amount of time. However the facility is SMALL. They have porta potties and hand washing stations in almost every area- You get free wagon rides with your ticket which was nice and corn maze is free, but small. It's a cute vibe but if you're older on a date plan it for up to two hours- it's. Really small. If you have little there is a large sand pit that is also free. They do offer a military discount and it is advised to purchase a parking pass. I got there around 4:40 and left pretty much before 6:30. Go early to avoid the crowds. All in all it's good for what it is especially in oc. But I wouldn't go again.

The group of us love their productions and their large lobby with a snack bar is great and very clean bathrooms. Not a bad seat in the house, and the stage is pretty large for a small community theater.

This was our second visit, and somehow we loved it even more than the first. We started with the short rib arancini, followed by the short rib pappardelle for me and the short ribs for my husband. Everything was absolutely delicious. The service was phenomenal, just as it was during our first visit, and the ambiance is truly something special. What sets The Red Room apart is the entire experience. You almost forget you're in Orange County. There's an authentic, intimate, old-world charm that makes you feel like you've been transported somewhere else entirely. Domenico, the owner, even sings! He personally greets his guests and follows up before and after their visits. That level of genuine hospitality is so rare these days. You can tell he absolutely loves what he does. We've had so many date nights where the food was mediocre, the atmosphere was forgettable, and we left wondering why we bothered going out. The Red Room is the complete opposite. It's an experience worth getting dressed up and going out for. Part of me wants to keep this hidden gem a secret so we can still get reservations, but a place this wonderful deserves to be celebrated. We're already looking forward to our next visit!
