cerritos center for the performing arts

First time here for a concert. Venue was very easy to get too and plenty of free parking close to venue. They have a bar set up and snacks...but drinks are not allowed inside auditorium. There is a hotel and many restaurants close by so if you need to travel, there are options within walking distance of the Center.

Just saw Camelot there this past weekend. While the road show was not the best I've seen, the venue is fabulous!How they have managed to make a large theater seem intimate is amazing. We had Orchestra seats but it looked to me that there was not a bad seat in the house. Acoustics were excellent.I'd go back.

My wife and I love the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts. We have seen and heard many great entertainers going back about 20 years. Johnny Cash, The Beach Boys, The Oak Ridge Boys, and many others. Ticket prices are not cheap, but parking is free and location is very easy to reach and easy to exit. They have a wide variety of great entertainers every year. AL SCHALLAU, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

A great theater in SouthEast Los Angeles County. Very warm and comfortable. A state of the art venue that can be conformed to many different configurations for each performance.I've spoken with performers who rave about the acoustics and sight lines.Community volunteers work as ushers and will seat you.Ample FREE parking.

We come to this theater often.Recently my wife became disabled and we have to use a wheelchair to get around..The "I Love Lucy" was nice but the box seating had a very restricted view of the stage especially for a person on a wheelchair.One had to stand up and stoop over the edge be able to see the nearer side of the stage.Not safe....When I complained to the "stage manager" he offered:" I can offer you a refund but you have to leave."I was not asking for a refund.A disappointing experience.

When Is the last time you parked less than a block away from the front entrance of your concert's venue? In a lovely, quiet setting? It has been the same for three different performances we attended at the Cerritos Center. Getting there from the San Gabriel Valley through ungodly traffic was not enjoyable - going home was not as bad; but the venue is a breath of fresh air: pretty, not overcrowded. good acoustics, friendly staff, many of whom are volunteers; fairly comfortable seats, clean, modern and very user friendly - this is the Cerritos Center. Next time, it would be fun to check in to the Sheraton which is site adjacent and make it a true getaway.

Lovely theater inside and out. Great sound. Beautiful fountain outside. The Sheraton Cerritos is just beyond the fountain, so it is a great hotel if you are out-of-towners looking for a place to stay.Check with the box office an hour or two ahead of time if you want to upgrade you seats. I think it cost $3. We did it and got a box near the stage at stage level for the wonderful Peter Cetera. All the ushers are dressed as ushers and bring you to your seat. Very well organized. There was a fireplace going in the lobby. I think there was a bar, too, but we just passed by it. Nice theater.

Saw Josh Turner at Orchestra level hard to see but acoustics and visuals great. Next evening saw Jake Shimabukuro from gold level. You could hear a pin drop acoustics were so good. Very intimate atmosphere for concerts. Price of ticket in gold level a little high.

Cerritos has a 1st class performing arts center, some years the shows are better then other years, but over all it is a 1st class venue for the arts.

I recently went to a performance by Paul Anka. I was really impressed with the theater. This was my first visit so was checking out the place. I would definitely recommend anyone that wants to see good shows to come here.

My husband and I have been to this beautiful venue many times. You will feel like you are in an opera house in Italy or Paris. They offer a variety of entertainment with many different seating configurations. Free parking!

The greater Loa Angeles area has many well know centers for the performing arts. Most fo them are clustered in the central and western areas of the metro area. This one stands out as the only center of this calibre servicn the area half way between the Downtown LA and Irvine cultural hubs. The center puts up a good program card each year and we look forward to visiting it at least once ro twice each year.

The CCPA is one of the finest theaters of its type in Southern California. All seats have excellent sight lines, the acoustics are superb, and the auditorium has a contemporary, comfortable style. The Center offers a wide variety of productions, from oldies but goodies to touring plays, top name acts and holiday shows. Ample parking is free onsite and several restaurants are located in the Town Center complex.

The Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts presents a wide range of attractions in a freeway close, comfortable venue. Not so huge you need binoculars, it still is big enough to present top drawer artists and acts. Easier than many performance sites to get into and out of, it is reasonably close to a variety of dining facilities and accommodations. These are easily reachable by car or on foot if you care to go for a bit of a stroll.. Attractions run the gambit from Rogers and Hammerstein to Chinese Extravaganzas to Chamber Music to aging used-to-be pop stars.

Our group (3 couples) thoroughly enjoyed the Saturday evening performance at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts. The intimate auditorium had terrific acoustics which made the Doo Wop concert even more an enjoyment.Seating on the upper most level was close enough to see the performers facial expressions.Be aware of the many steps to the upper floors, definitely not recommended for the physically challenged. Use of the elevator is recommended.
