As a couple of Brits visiting LA, we went to the Pantages Theatre to see Rain - a better than average Beatles tribute band (all the shows at this theatre are rather mainstream and middle-brow). The real draw though, was the theatre itself, a must-see pinnacle of art deco splendour and exuberance. The lighting, acoustics and sightlines are excellent, but... More

You pop out right in front of the Pantages when you take the Red Line. Lots of great restaurant choices within walking distance. Then walk into the most beautiful theater with great acoustics

Great venue. Has wonderful shows. I've seen quite a few of the shows held there...and loved them all...with the exception of Peter Pan.

My husband and I recently went to a production of beauty and the beast here. Very intimate pretty theatre and I'd have to say there are really no bad seats. The only time I had trouble seeing was because of the cut out trellis and the actor being at the top of the stairs I'm sure that isn't a problem... More

Been a while, but I always check what is coming up at Pantages. Convenient enough location in Hollywood. Greatest regret is not getting to see King & I there years ago.

I watched Mama Mia the musical here and loved it. I loved the musical and I can't really compare it to other musical theaters but I liked how the seating was and the theater itself is not that bad. I would like to see more shows here.

I've been to the Pantages many times and I always love coming to this theatre because of the atmosphere and design. The feeling of walking into the theatre and down the aisles to the seats of a classy place; where many people are dressed up for a night out on the town is such a unique experience. The theatre just... More

My family and I saw Beauty and The Beast and had a wonderful time. This is the third Broadway Production I have seen at the Pantages and once again, I was impressed. There are no words to describe the historic Hollywood theater- It's just magical.
