The City of Costa Mesa is proudly known as the City of the Arts, and the Segerstrom Center for the Arts is a showcase of exceptional talent. Performances include Broadway shows, the world’s leading dance companies, award-winning classical, jazz and cabaret artists, family entertainment, special events, and year-round educational programs. It also boasts three resident Orange County musical companies: Pacific Symphony, the Philharmonic Society of Orange County and Pacific Chorale.

Segerstrom Center for the Arts – Segerstrom Hall Theatre
The acoustics at Segerstrom Hall and the rows and rows of plush, crimson seats are the perfect settings for staging their magnificent Broadway plays. Not to be missed as you enter and exit the Hall is the dramatic sculpture, “Fire Bird” by Richard Lippold. The sculpture glistens and gives the impression of soaring into the night and sends theatergoers on their way with memories of a night not to be forgotten.

Below are 5StarTips🌟 that will be sure to enhance your evening while attending the Broadway shows this season to an Always5Star experience:
🌟 Purchasing Tickets:
The best option for buying tickets is to go to the box office in person which provides the opportunity to speak with the ticket agent and have them help you with the optimum seat selection. If you are traveling to Costa Mesa and would like to purchase a ticket for the same night’s performance, this is also the best way to see what is available.
Ticket Office hours:
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Holiday hours may vary.)
Phone Number:
(714) 556-2787
Phones are open for sales daily from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., and they remain open on show nights until the latest performance begins.

🌟 Dining Options
A fabulous restaurant is located directly across from the theatre – Leatherby’s Café Rouge. Having dined there myself, I highly recommend adding this to a special evening out. The restaurant offers locally sourced, farm fresh vegetables, sustainable seafood, and USDA Prime, dry-aged beef.
Cheers to dinner at Leatherby’s Café Rouge and a night at the Theatre!
