"Commissioned by sugar magnate John D. Spreckels, this historic theater hosted elaborate productions in its heyday. Thanks to large double doors on either side of the stage, it evenheld a horse-drawn-chariot race in 1923. Today, however, programming more likely includes Billy Elliot the Musical or the band Blitzen Trapper. Upon arrival, a dramatic marquee on Broadway welcomes guests into a restored grand lobby with onyx ceilings and the theater’s original box office. In the Baroque-style, 1,915-seat auditorium, the proscenium’s allegorical paintings and sculptures provide eye candy during intermissions. The Spreckels has had many lives: It opened in 1912 as a vaudeville house, then became movie theater, and now hosts a variety of live productions, from concerts to ballets to musicals."

Went to see Nutcracker with my daughters school. Spreckels is very old but still is one of the most beautiful venues in San Diego. It is well keep for being so old and the staff is very nice and helpful. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy another event there. Great idea to have an event for the students. They learn to appreciate it.

Dated. If you are 6' + be prepared to hate your height as the seats give you zero room for your knees. The AC is pretty much non functional. But the show and sound system used used by Conan was great. If you have sensitive ears bring ear plugs.

A piece of nostalgia. Saul Conan O'Brien for Comic-Con in the theater was great for a live show but I would not want to see much more there. The theater is in a large building with many small businesses and offices. This can make it difficult to navigate around. Bathrooms are on the other side of the theater.

A true San Diego gem! Gorgeous theatre. Fabulous production of the Nutcracker by San Diego City Ballet.

Wonderful old theater. As such, seats are small and close together but still mostly comfortable. Be sure to park at the theater if possible, we made the mistake of parking at the Horton plaza which cost me $26 for about 3 hours! There are light refreshments in the lobby but best to hit one of the many restaurants and bars in the area before the show. There are three directly adjacent to the theater. There is no flash photography allowed during the ballet performance, so probably similar rules for other events. As for the city ballet performance, it ranged from contrived to inspiring as the night went on. It was clear what everyone had put the most work into: requiem. The symphony and chorus stole the show at times, and several of the dancers were outstanding. A night at Spreckels is well worth your time and money, whatever the occasion. Looking forward to returning in winter for the Nutcracker.

Best venue I've been to for a show. Every single seat is awesome. If it's a show where everyone stands (rock concert), beware of sore feet from standing at an angle all night.

It was so fun watching Conan O'Brien at work. He was super funny and the tickets didnt cost anything. One of the best experiences I've ever had
