view more less of this reviewHad the tier 3 seats one row back from the very front. Great seats for the cheap price. Well worth the money, and very entertaining!
star this review starred report as inappropriateThe show was HILARIOUS and definitely worth seeing again! We sat in Tier 3, which wasn't terrible, but I would have liked to be a little lower, because we could see the actors prepare over the set pieces.
star this review starred report as inappropriateThis was the first time I used Gold Star and I felt the experience from beginning to end was easy and fun. We got great seats for a great price. I took my daughters to their first theatrical performance for their birthday and they loved it. I definitely would use Gold Star again and my daughters are already planning their next shows to see. As for the show, it was wonderful, full of humor and very witty. I loved the movie and I love the show. It was a true feast for the eyes.
star this review starred report as inappropriateLoved Spamalot but hated the seats. We were right up against the outside wall and could not see stage right. I would not use Goldstar for this theater again since I could not see where the seats would be.

The Tony and Grammy® Award-winning Monty Python's Spamalot will open the Orange County Performing Arts Center’s blockbuster 2009-2010 Broadway Series. The Center run is the last chance for audiences to see Monty Python’s Spamalot before the national tour closes. Monty Python’s Spamalot continues to taunt cities across the nation. “A high energy blast, you’ll leave the theater whistling!” said Terry Byrne from The Boston Herald. CTV’s Chris Perez said “Hilarious show…it pushes comedy to its limits. This show is a crowd pleaser!” “You could put a happy-meter in the theater and watch it go off the charts!” exclaims Richard Ouzounian, Toronto Star.
Lovingly "ripped-off" from the internationally famous comedy team's most popular motion picture, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Monty Python's Spamalot is the winner of three 2005 Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Director (Mike Nichols), as well as the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle awards for Best Musical.
