What to do and see in Pasadena, California (CA): The Best Concerts & Shows

November 3, 2021 Karren Gelb

Most famous for hosting the annual New Year's Tournament of Roses Parade and Rose Bowl, Pasadena is more than just a football town. Its extravagant City Hall boasts a beautiful Baroque dome, a courtyard garden and relaxing fountain. On South Orange Boulevard, known as Millionaires' Row, there are landmarked mansions to rival the most opulent homes of Beverly Hills. That chattering in the air is probably the local population of naturalized Red-crowned Amazon parrots.

I was invited to an event to see The Great Leap. The patio area is a nice place to hang out before the show starts and they offered complimentary wine, how can you beat that. I didn't know what the play was about and during the opening scene I wanted to walk out. I stuck around and started enjoying the show as it started to come together until the unique ending. I highly recommend enjoying a night out at this classic playhouse.

Ice House Comedy Nightclub

Reviewed By Stormyray - Bellevue, United States

Went on a saturday night, bought tickets ($16 per) around 5:30 pm at box office and then went to dinner. Was told to get to the 8 pm show around 7:30, we would be walked in and seated (which happened right on time) -- venue is great, not a bad seat in the house. Comics were all good, two drink minimum, so expect to spend a total of $50 per person including admission -- you order your two drinks before the show starts and one is delivered early and the other mid show. Parking easy -- street parking nearby and many restaurants within walking distance.
