SharaAugust 2, 2016I've been coming to this theater since I was a kid and it never disappoints. Took my Mom to see Cabaret, it's my 3rd time seeing it over the years, this was by far the best cast. Life is beautiful!Upvoted Nov 17
Jon MenagerAugust 13, 2015An absolute classic in Los Angeles. I've been going to musicals and shows here since I was a kid. It's beautiful inside. Parking is available in multiple lots in the area!Upvoted Sep 23- Jana L.July 29, 2013Lovely theater! Snap a few pictures in the lobby. A warning - no pictures in the theater, so be fast if you're the rule breaking type. Cheap and yummy dinner across the street at Chicken Dijon.Upvoted 3 days ago
- A beautiful building and a must for the latest from broadway. Parking is tricky but you can usually find a lot a couple blocks down on the cheap.
Take the metro if you can. Hollywood and Vine station is directly across the street. Saves a ton of money on parking.
Mezzanine is actually really good seating. We've had season tickets for a few years now and even though orchestra is nice this view above the stage is phenomenal.
Brittany GreenNovember 10, 2013I saw The Phantom of the Opera there twice and it was amazing. I love this theater. They really bring their shows to life and you have a great view regardless if your in the balcony or the floor!
Great shows & Seats in the first rows from the left. Parking is cheaper and better than others so arrive at least 40min before the show cause there is a waiting like amways Or use the valet parking.
eric bornemannAugust 12, 2020Beautiful Art Deco theater for touring shows. The balcony seats are pretty far away, but it’s still great. The lobby is spacious and very cool.
The art and the architecture are amazing here. A lot of the Disney musicals and the best of Broadway play here.
- Tennille TownsendAugust 3I liked it personally. A beautiful theatre and everyone must visit. They truly make their performances come to life, and the perspective would be fantastic.
Eric SabbanApril 8, 2017My mom has season tickets here, so I can usually get into sold out shows. Overall I'd call it good, nothing spectacular, but it has Broadway-class musical theatre. It's what you expect.
I have been to many performances here. The best seats are the benches in the lobby. It is beautiful inside but they need to remodel the seats. Better seating at The Ahmanson or La Mirada Theaters.
What a beautiful theatre! It's got great seating no matter where you sit. Great ushers that are knowledgeable, helpfully, and very kind.
HarperApril 5, 2011Since ur in the area. Check out chicken Dijon for a quick delicious treat. If u have xtra time try dillons $3 drafts all day. Want to live it up. Check out the W lounge or cafe entourage island spice
Holly W.February 27, 2016Love this theater. It is in the Hollywood hub. Great shows. If purchase on Goldstar, request sit together or seats may be separate.
Kevin PongSeptember 8, 2012when you come park in lot A, cheapest parking $10 w/ a 2 min walk, and be aggressive because of all of the old folks and tourist who want to push their way through the lines. ever heard of please?
They no longer offer rush tickets, but they DO offer tickets that start at $25! Every seat's a great seat. Definitely my go-to to see a show <3
Jen M-EAugust 12, 2016If you are in any part of SoCal and are looking to see a traveling Broadway production, make the effort & go here. It's a better experience!
Here's a tip for when you are in front of the theatre: check out our amazing Dining Guide in the huge glass display case facing Hollywood Boulevard! Bon Apetit!- Kaitlyn CavazosApril 6, 2013The no photography rule goes for phones too. If you want to try to take a picture of the stage without flash before the show, go for it but chances are the ushers will yell at you.
- Michelle MixsonDecember 16, 2016Acoustics are great, architecture is beautiful and Metro station across the street makes theatre very accessible.
SuperbOctober 24, 2013When Howard Hughes bought the Theater in 1949, he was in it for the long haul. The aviator has been seen countless times by employees, walking through walls to where his old office would have been.- * Ladies Restroom - 1 on both sides of the lobby, 1 upstairs on the West Side* Mens Restroom - 1 on the East Side of the lobby and 1 upstairs on the East Side*Concession Stand in middle of lobby
HISTORYApril 20, 2010The Pantages was once owned by Howard Hughes with his personal office on the second floor. He sold it in 1954. It would be purchased by Pacific Theaters in 1967 who would restore to its former glory.- Gregory CohenMarch 4, 2016This is a beautiful theatre that houses incredible entertainment. Every seat is great!
Jeff WilsonMarch 20, 2015Wicked show was very nice. Sit in the balcony dead center. Great view of any show.
Adriane PinedaMay 1, 2016One of my faves in LA. Take the subway and save yourself some time and money for parking
Nicholas OsborneNovember 3, 2012They have the 'no photography in the theater' rule which is out of date for cell phones, should make it no flash photography at all & none at all, of any type once the show starts.
Nicole TOctober 14, 2012Preorder and pay for ur Intermission cocktails before the show starts. They will be waiting for you next to the bar. Cheers!
Jase LaudadioFebruary 4, 2018They could use some new seats... i mean at a $12 movie i get plush recliner with cupholders sooo....- Always come to the Pantages with a good friend, a great show, in a beautiful theatre...priceless. Especially when they know all the songs!
There are 3 bars inside the Pantages! Stop in for a pre-show drink and feel like its Broadway. The pours are worth the price.- Charles T SebestaDecember 17, 2015ONE OF THE NICEST THEATRES IN LOS ANGELES. INTIMATE AND LOTS OF FUN!
Crystal WarnerFebruary 13, 2014NEVER listed at TKTS. Buy tickets from box office instead of online to avoid having to pay the extra fees when you order online ($60-125 depending on ticket price).
Stephanie PressmanOctober 11, 2011Love it! Offices are upstairs take elevator to the right of the theatre (enter from outside)
Ben HandzoMarch 20, 2013If you eat at Delphine you can valet your car there for $8 and get it after the show.
Alden SiaOctober 13, 2010Saw numerous shows here. It serves it purpose. The theater has so much intricacies in its interiors and I love it.
The best way to get tickets is to be a season ticket holder.
