Broadway West Theatre Company

What a little gem tucked away in Fremont! My husband, 5-​year old son and I watched a terrific performance of «And then there were none» last night. The acting was top notch, the production was simple but very professional. We loved the informal atmosphere, we were welcomed with warm smiles and the lovely lady at the front desk gave us the «chaise lounge» on which we got really comfy and enjoyed the show from upfront. The theater is very old fashioned and has a lovely vintage feel about it, the colonial furniture strewn around, adds a very cosy touch. There is a kitchen which serves complimentary tea, coffee, fruit punch and cookies during the intermission, very sweet indeed. The best part is, our extremely well behaved 5-​year old was admitted for the show so we didn’t have to worry about where to leave him (I understand why theaters don’t admit children, but I feel sad when my interested and very well behaved son is barred from non-​kiddy shows).
We are hooked and we will be catching every play here, I can’t believe we didn’t go here before, considering it’s right in our backyard. Fremont theatre lovers, don’t miss out on Broadway West! I am giving it 5 stars because of the warm welcoming community feeling combined with great quality.

My wife and I have enjoyed all of the 6 plays we have gone to. It is a small venue, but you can hear every word and relax in comfortable seating. Acting has always been top notch and sets are imaginative,

I really enjoyed taking my wife on a date to Broadway West. We have driven past their location probably thousands of times over the years (just like you have), but this time I’m glad we stopped, got out of our car, and went inside for a really good local theater play!
The local actors did a great job, their timing was excellent, we really laughed a lot during the entire performance!
Live theater is a true Art, and yes the Television is often much more convenient, even the Movie Theater is also more convenient, or affordable.
But, you really need to experience something special in your life — you need to take the time to go to one of the local plays being offered here! Hey, maybe next time we will be seated next to each other? :-)
Encore!

I have been a season ticket holder for over a dozen years and should have written this review years ago. Broadway West has grown into an amazingly professional, talented theater company with a core of actors and actors from around the Bay Area. They have a very small space and make great use of it Several years ago they performed Driving Miss Daisy; it was so good my husband and I watched the movie the next night. Morgan Friedman (one of my favorite actors) was no better than the actor at Broadway West.
We enjoy theater and this is one of our top choices.

This place is SO impressive! I went on a Saturday night to watch a play called The Children’s Hour. The actors and actresses are all so talented. One of the actresses in the play was the co-​owner of the company. Cozy and homey vibe. They even offer simple drinks and snacks (fruit punch, tea, cookies, fruit) during intermission. At the end of the play the actors and actresses met us out on the balcony to say goodbye and accept our thanks :) I’ll definitely be coming back!

I would go to a live production in this performance theater and support local art/​actors then pay for an overpriced movie ticket any time. This is a great cozy place, good for families, and they do occasional brunches as a very very reasonable price package.

Yes, the theater is small and the audience tends to be mature, but the cult-​like following and clear dedication of the staff and cast result in a really good time at Broadway West. I like the company so much that I’m getting my family season tickets. Bravo Broadway West!

Went to «One Flew Over The Coo Coo“s Nest» last night and it was really well done. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. The actors did a great job. For a small local theatre and the amount of room they have, I would have to say it is very enjoyable. I am planning to attend more plays there in the future.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4. This place is very small but they make good use of the space they have. That gets them a couple of stars immediately. The prices are very reasonable.
We saw «Bus Stop» on a Thursday night. Because it was a Thursday, we had fantastic seats — third row. My only complaint is that the seats are hard even with the cushions. It’s funny, though, that after the intermission, my husband and I swapped seats (because he had walked ahead of me and it was just easier) and his was more comfortable than mine.
The acting was surprisingly good. The actors in this play were professional level or darned close. I was pleasantly surprised at how good they were.
There are complimentary refreshments at intermission but they’re simple — cookies, rolls, tea, coffee, punch. The whole idea at this place seems to be to provide you with an intimate experience and they do that. The manager and staff were extremely friendly and welcoming.
There is no way for me to know if I would have liked it as well if we’d gone on a Friday night with a crowd. I suppose we’ll eventually find out when they do another play that appeals to me.

Well my husband and have been wanting to go here for years. Finally we got babysitting and we went to a show. I can’t remember the name of the show we saw but it was awsome. I really liked the story. The setting up the theater is really neat.
Then there’s a mid point where they take a break and you get to go to the back and they have drinks and snacks for the guest. I thought that was really nice.
I would go back and I would recommend this theater to anyone.

Okay I have to admit — it is mostly for the more «mature» crowd. Let’s just say that the bathroom has age defying lotion. LOL! Me and my girlfriends are often the youngest there — we are in our 30’s. My brother is an artist so I try to support community art. At best the plays are decent., at worst, they are pretty hokey (not always the intention). Even so — we all have season tickets and enjoy it which ever way it goes.
You sit super close and can meet the actors if you are into it. There is usually tea and snacks during the intercession and it is fun to meet the other supporters of local theater.
Loved: Greater Tuna; Misery; Turn of the Screw
Didn’t love: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof — what’s up wit the hawk noise anyway?; The Underpants

So my friend took me here to watch my first play. I loved it. We see every play now :) Up close and personal and you can meet the actors/​actresses afterwards and talk to them. They have a little room with tea and water and snacks too. Bathrooms are really ghetto. The doors are funny, so if you’re tall you can see people outside and they can see you lol. Washing your hands and mirror is outside in the open as well.
I would recommend it though, it’s fun and exciting :)
