Mccallum theatre is a beautiful facility but why can’t we review the acts that they hire
We went to the first night of One night of Queen, Feb 19 2024, Garys singing was bad, we were wanting to leave after three songs but waited until the intermission not to disturb the audience by leaving early, there were several other on goers that also left.

We had great 2nd row mezzanine seats for the live performance of the Improve Comedy "Whose Live Anyway." Starring Greg Proops, Jeff Davis, Ryan Stiles and Joel Murray. A funny, laugh a minute, rollicking night of improv.

The risky business of reviewing a live theater venue is the possibility of a “bad” show influencing the opinion. Not the situation in this case, we saw a terrific musical show. The acoustics provide a quality sound. All seats are unimpeded. Although a fairly large venue the back-of-the-house seats are just not that far back. The lobby is welcoming and not crowded at intermission. As you can determine quickly without visiting the venue, namely, tickets are expensive. Lots and lots of parking immediately adjacent the theater. Easy exit to the highway.

Appears they have the Covid protocols down, easy to get in and out plenty of staff working. All the seats are good and appears they run multiple events each week.

I think I can be objective when I say this is a first rate operation, with an amazing array of talent that breezes through town at a furious pace. If one blinks, they risk missing a great performance. This season I loved Ten Tenors, Michael Feinstein, and Pink Martini. Prices are reasonable (most of the time), and seats are comfortable. I'll go again and again.

We saw Pink Martini last night and it was memorable. No matter your preference for relaxation and the performing arts, you're sure to find it at McCallum Theatre.
We've seen any number of performances over the years (Vienna Boys' Choir, a Mars talk, any number of Musical Reviews, etc) and they all were outstanding.
I am grateful for the McCallum.

The McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert is a wonderful venue for a wide range of the performing arts with many noted performers. While there is limited handicap seating, it is the one place I opt for because of this special seating. There is free parking in a large lot right next to this beautiful theatre and the staff and ushers are most helpful and friendly. A wide range of concerts and events are offered each year, making this the place to definitely go to for leisure pleasure and enjoyment.

It was the first time we booked tickets for a show or concert at the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert. The Divas - Legends In Concert was great. It was worth buying the tickets.
The people on stage who did tributes to and looked just like Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion and Aretha Franklin were amazing. Their voices and singing was exactly like Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion and Aretha Franklin.
These four women should arrange some performances in Toronto, Canada area and Niagara Falls, Canada. People would come see their concerts.

A variety of entertainment so check their calendar and buy tickets when you are in town. Free parking in a big parking lot. The seats and aisles are generously sized and comfortable.
