Review from Glen w.

See any and every show by the Troubadour company, as they are my favorite live act to see, brilliantly combining the highest (Shakespeare, improvisation, choreography) and lowest (slapstick, bad puns) of art. I've seen every show they've had there.
And, keep in mind that no seat at the Falcon is bad because the theater is cozy. (Be aware that the Troubies may screw around with you if you are in the front row).
Check the box office to see if they will let you usher so you can see the show for free (I did it twice- it's fun). AND plan to eat at Bob's Big Boy right across the street! -

I really love this small theater! I saw the production of Laurel and Hardy and it was so lovely.
Positives:
The place is small and personal so you actually get to see the actors and their facial expressions.
It is stadium seating so no one is blocking your view of the stage.
Negatives:
No eating/drinking in the theater.
There is little leg room and it can get uncomfortable. -

I love this theater! At max it seats 130, so as someone else mentioned, not a bad seat in the house. Even in the back row, you are still close enough to the stage to see the performer's faces. The Troubadour Theater Company performs a summer production. They are an excellent group and a regular fixture for this theater with 2-3 additional shows during the season. All of the productions brought to this theater are of high caliber and many times, noted performers. The Falcon is owned by Garry Marshal and his family (Pretty Woman, Princess Diaries, Happy Days, etc).
Parking is easy as there is street parking and a back parking lot, though season ticket holders get a spot in the Falcon lot. Concessions are reasonably priced and staff is incredibly friendly! -

It was the first time for both my gentleman friend and I to visit this venue, and our expectations were exceeded.
We saw "The Catholic Girl's Guide to Losing Your Virginity." The staging was deliberately minimalist, and there were only two cast members, but they played their parts with comedic gusto. Really, it was more about a young woman's longing for connection than just about "the act."
The small size of the theater allowed us audience members to have a real proximity to the main character, all the more to feel as if we were a part of her life and search for love. -

"The First Jo-El" is a production at the Falcon Theatre by the Troubadour Theater Company.
I laughed so hard throughout the entire play. Billy Joel's music but not necessarily all his lyrics were used to tell their Nativity version. If you want to get into the holiday spirit with a non-traditional, non-religious and almost irreverent event then go see this play. I am still thinking about how much I laughed and how easy it was to get into the Holiday Spirit. -

It's Gary Marshall's small, intimate space where the Troubadour troupe gets a bit too close for comfort, all in good fun. I have only been here for their shows and they are usually pretty funny. They mix music with mostly Shakespeare plays like Twelfth Dog Night, A Midsummer Saturday Night Fever, Romeo Hall & Juliet Oates, to name a few. Then their winter musicals are equally clever, like It's A Stevie Wonderful Life and my favorite, A Christmas Carol King. They've also ventured into other plays like Alice in One Hit Wonderland 1 and 2, because we all know there are too many one hit wonders out there to try to squeeze into one show!
Anyway, I recommend seeing them! The space is nice, tickets aren't too bad, and you have a great local vibe. -

This is a small theater in Burbank, It only has about 7 rows of seats, so that no matter where you sit, its a good seat. We'd seen a couple plays, and then decided to get the subscription package. So far, I've liked all the plays. They are not that expensive for tickets - anywhere for $20-$35, and with the cost of a movie, I would much rather see a play.
There is plenty of parking out back, which is nice.
