Amazing venue! We saw a Sting production The Last Ship. We had balcony seats that were pretty high up, but over $100 each. The view from the balcony was still good, considering the price. There are no bad seats in the theatre as far as visibility of the stage- the stage is in view for all seats. The sound in the theater is outstanding. There are several restrooms located in the theatre. We didnt bring in backpacks, but the staff didnt seem to be stopping anyone that I saw. During the intermissionmy husband was told by an usher that we select closer unused seats! Wow! So, we had way better seats for the remainder of the program! We had an absolutely amazing time

I last came here for a showing of The Book of Mormon. This is one of favorite venues for a Broadway musical. It has great acoustics and its a bit smaller than the Hollywood Pantages Theatre so theres really no bad seat in the house. Everything is clean and sleek which is much more enjoyable than smelly Hollywood! Flat $9 parking is available after 4:30 pm in the Music Center Garage with the entrance off of Grand Ave. Theres plenty of pre-show food options all within walking distance.

Love this theater! Been here multiple time for shows. Seats can be close, but youll have great views. Get there early and have dinner at one of the surrounding restaurants and/it grab a drink inside from the bar before the show. You cant beat dinner and a show. One great way to enjoy DTLA.

Beautiful theater. Modern, chic feel. Seating was tight, but seats were comfortable. Sound system was great (saw Dear Evan Hansen). Friendly staff. Clean. Easy to get get drinks and snacks. Multiple quick service bars with beer, wine, and liquor. All food and drinks can be consumed in the theater.

Always a great theatre but the seats in the upper mezzanine are very narrow. If you have broad shoulders, I strongly recommend an aisle seat.I have seen several shows here. It is a grand theatre, great sound system, and perfectly set up for high tech sets and lighting. Hoping to see a couple more shows here in the next year!

Happy to see Swan Lake in this theatre! It was just perfect! Doesnt matter where you are seated, you will still get a good view of the performers. The ushers were very helpful.

Great venue, I love all of them at the Los Angeles Music Center. Plenty of parking and public transit options. The sound inside the venue is great, the seats are reasonably comfortable. Always happy to see someone here.

This modern version of Swan Lake was beautifully done. The male swans are magnificent and the two male leads give a powerful, riveting performance.

I was impressed that you could see from any seat. The theater is a great size, even from less expensive seats. If you have mobility issues, I find the mezzanine level of the first few rows a good choice. The stairs to your seat are the small rise with the deeper platform. The sound was clear and easy to hear.Food and drinks are easily available outside before and during the show, so you dont have to wait in long lines. There are 2 places to easily grab food and drink before the show, and there are table and chairs around the fountain to sit and eat. There is one resturant to sit inside. You may also bring your own food. Come early to enjoy the atmosphere.Season tickets are reasonably priced for the Center Theater Group, starting from about $20 and up per show. Parking in the garage is extra.

A really nice theater located in the Music Center. This was my first time attending and really enjoyed it. I love the fact that they allow you to brings drinks in the theater with a cover/lid. I saw The Last Ship with Sting and it was a great musical. The cast all British and action packed with energy.

Easy access parking, great things to see in the area, wonderful restaurants around, comfortable seats and always a treasured family outing.

A really lovely venue, set in a great area. The staff was great and everything was well thought out. We really enjoyed the show we saw too!

Fantastic and amazing theatre in LA downtown! Bring a cup of coffee you like. Its allowed. Seats were narrow. If you are big, you would be uncomfortable in upper level with cheap tickets.

Beautiful theater with great service and wonderful acoustics. Parking in the garage was reasonably priced and the escalators made for easy ingress and egress. Would definitely visit again.

Great theatre, seats are comfortable even for bigger guys like me. Parking is right under the theater and food available around the place within walking distance. Saw a couple of famous faces dinning on a Friday night.

Wonderfully accessible, large enough for the biggest shows, yet still quite intimate. Excellent acoustics, and plenty of leg room in the orchestra.Seating right at 2,000 guests, this theatre is great for close views of your favorite productions.Parking is easy in The Music Center Garage, and you can enjoy the beautiful courtyard before and after the show while you wait for traffic to slow down.One complaint, is that since there is no aisle in the middle of the orchestra, having to get up and walk past a dozen or more people for a break can be a disruption to theatre patrons, and a hassle for you. Also, there are some steps in the orchestra, so access for wheel chairs and walkers can be challenging.Over all, a great theatre and friendly staff.

Loved The Book of Mormon.Fabulous show and talent!

Fantastic theater. The outdoor atmosphere of the architecture is amazing to walk through and the theater itself is full of decorative materials. And to top it off, your favorite play.

Went in knowing what view I was getting thanks to their convenient website where I purchased the tickets directly l.It was a much smaller venue than I was expecting which was great and made me feel more connected to the experience. Seems as if all of orchestra seating has a great line of sight to the stage. Employees were helpful, amicable and proficient. Snacks and booze were a bit pricey but snacks and booze are always a welcome treat at any theatrical showing.

This is a really nice venue. It is no frills, but I like that the focus is on the show. All of the staff are helpful and friendly. The actors are all very talented and you will be in tears with laughter by the end of the show. I recommend seeing The Book of Mormon before its run ends on March 29th.

For starters, the website does not work if youre trying to buy show tickets online. I called to get show tickets for The Last Ship for my mom who was in town visiting and asked for the best seats for my price point. The seats we ended up with had an obstructed view, and that was not shared when the purchase was made. We could only see the bottom half of the actors bodies for the balcony scenes. Our seats were in Row G. I called to share feedback after the show and was told I would receive a call back to see what could be done after a conversation with the Ticket Director, and I havent heard anything since. Poor customer experience and lack of follow up.

Went to see The Humans, while I felt the actual play left something to be desired, the performances were fantastic. The venue itself was fantastic. Great site lines, no challenge with hearing the performance, and it was easy to navigate to and from seats. I especially enjoyed the cultural mix of Broadway with my beer in a plastic cup complete with lid and straw.

Love this elegant, large theater. It is large, (I havent been seated in rear balcony for this reason). Ive had seats on wing boxes, first 8 rows of balcony & floor. All were good visibility. Sound system is good. Food choices in plaza courtyard available, also indoor restaurant. Or picnic on outdoor tables.

Best to park in one of the nearby private lots; the parking is like a maze, and very crowded when the event is over. Food in the area is very good, but also very pricey. Plays are generally good to Great, but there is an occasional stinker in the season line-up. It is also time for the Center Theater Group to reuphoster the seating. The seats are clean and intact, but the cushions are worn, resulting in uncomfortable seating. You may want to consider bringing something to put across your knees or shoulders, it is generally very chilly in the theater. Enjoy the show!

Beautiful midsize theater as part of the music center in the same block square with the Dorothy Chandler Theatre and the smaller Mark Taper Theatre. Convenient underground parking for $9. Comfortable seats and plenty of leg room. Ive been to many productions and have always had a great theatre going experience here.

Im blessed as a homeless person to charge my phone at an outlet just outside the theatre.

My friend and I had an awesome time. We went to see Book of Mormon. It was great. I recommend it to others.

Parking and getting in and out of this theatre is better than most. The area around has a lot of before/after event possibilities. They also have an excellent well rounded set of shows and events.

When you can get a good deal the theater is great the people that work there not so much its really hit and miss I had to really fight for rights severalTimes and was treated really poorly. Aside from a customer service element the actual Productions are fantastic this season I Saw The Last Ship and I just saw the Book of Mormon absolutely excellent Im supposed to see Once on This Island next well see what happens.

The Last Ship with Sting was an enjoyable experience. Different with an engaging story. Not a Tony but a good evening of enjoyment. Worth taking in a show.

Loved it! The seats are roomy and the place is so up to date. The only problem I see is when they have the bar open they need more than one person working behind the bar. The lines are really long. Make sure to get there a little early so you can enjoy your seats

I had a great time here, with some of my best friends! The theater here is amazing and the work that they produce is also Fantabulous! The area is amazing and the way they treat you here is great! I’m not really the theater person but this was an amazing experience, we got to see the Alvin Ailey performance!

If you want to see a very professional theatre in LA i recommend you to go to Ahmanson Theatre!

Always an amazing venue to see a wonderful show. The upgrade in venues on plaza is beautiful and convenient. Beautiful view of Grand Park and city hall

A nice theater, though lately they have featured a couple of one man shows. Some good and others not so good. I like sitting on the side on one of the balconies—more private and less crowded.

Arguably my favorite theater in LA. Been a member of CTG for years, and will likely continue to be for as long as possible. Not a bad seat in the house, so don’t fear the balcony or rear orchestra!

Great place in the middle of the Downtown cultural and arts district, right next to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion with endless parking, escalators and more than ample walking and sitting areas. The theatre itself is a nice size - not huge but also not tiny. Just the right size for a great crowd but with no real bad seats. Its very close to major freeways and there are a lot of street angles from which to leave the place so there isnt much worry about being stuck in endless traffic in or out. Overall it is a great place to see a show and I had a great time.

Saw Stings The Last Ship. Great performance!! In LA until February 16th.

I have heard of this well-known theater in LA before but hadnt had the chance to go until about a month ago. This was my first time seeing a ballet (Swan Lake) and I must admit, I was taken back by the live performance experience. We sat in the nose bleed section but the view was not bad. The staff was very polite and were very accommodating as I rushed to buy drinks at the concession stand and rushed to get back to my seat before they closed the doors. I would gladly come back again.

No bad seats Loved the lower level to the nights of the lights

The theatre might be as good as the shows played on the stage; regardless the Ahmanson is modern and comfortable with no obvious obstructed views across the levels. Despite the new construction, the lines to the toilets and refreshments form quickly at the intermission and when the bell tolls to return to watch act two, its clear some people wouldnt be able to purchase their refreshments. Finally, because this is downtown, dining options are few and far between. There are two food options on the theatre lot, along with adjacent wine bar and coffee shop, but lines form quickly and some wanting to eat dont get, so plan accordingly. The Ahmanson is close to public transit, making convenient even for those who dont worship their car despite being in the heart of LA.

They sell blue cheese as a snack that audience members can bring in to the show with them??!?!? We had to ask the girl next to use to put it away after she had it open for 30 minutes because the stench was overwhelming. Having to ask that put a lot of pressure on the paying customers to confront fellow seat mates. Food shouldnt be allowed, cause whos cleaning the seats after? You think its easy to get the smell of blue cheese out of velvet seats? Or that theyre washing each seat 15 times a week after every show? The theater was dusty as well. Ive been to most theaters in LA, and this is at the bottom of my list.

Great time! Small and intimate venue. Balcony level seats dont have great line of sight, but still an enjoyable experience.

It was amazing place. It was my first time going to see a musical. The upper view was great and clearly see the show.

I LOVE the Ahmanson Theatre. I went to see Come From Away and had an absolutely wonderful time. The Theatre itself is great. The lobby quaint and accessible. The dossiers very helpful. Several really nice restaurants within a short walk. The whole ambience of the place(Music Center) is tremendous.

The Ahmanson is part of three Center Theater Group theaters. Ahmanson on the Music Center Plaza DYLA, is best for musicals including traveling productions from London, Broadway traveling shows. They also support new productions that go on to Broadway. The Mark Taper is is also on the Music Center Plaza and presents many outstanding plays. The third theater is the Kirk Douglas in Culver City, smaller venue and newer plays for the most part. We love all three venues and subscribe to the Ahmanson.

Fantastic show The Last Ship with Sting. The Ahmanson is one of my favorite for musicals in Los Angeles. Comfortable, good parking, and close eateries. Fun!

All the seats are great. They show a wide variety of performances. Parking is $9.00 very easy. Get what you need from your car it is a pain to get back down to the parking structure. Escalators only go one way until the end of the show. Doors open about 45 mins before show time.

This is a nicely sized venue. Its not too large or too small. The people are nice & helpful and for myself, I can uber it if I dont wish to fuss with parking. They get all the major shows, so whats not to like?

Great shows, with amazing casts. I dont think there is a bad seat in the house. Lots of good food in walking distance.

Great venue! Easy parking underground! Cant wait to see another show!

First time to this theater. I would splurge for front/lower mezz or better. Seats in the upper mezz were upright and a little firm. Still had a good view and great acoustics. (Book of Mormon)

Simple performance arts venue housed within a much larger and classier complex. But no one will come here to see the building, you are here for the show and that I dont know how it will be. They do make the effort to offer some post show discussions with the performers which is a fun time

A great spot in downtown LA. The seats are well positioned so even if you get the cheaper seats you still feel close to the stage. The bathrooms are clean. Wouldnt mind seeing another play here again.

Went and saw book of Mormon, awesome experience, we sat in section 25 which is pretty far but you could still see everyone perfectly. I dont think any seats in the place were bad

Beautiful theater. Saw The Last Ship written by and staring Sting. Great show. Good story, good music, enjoyable performance.

Truly beautiful scene and admiration for theater. Comfy, beautiful and such a safe enviornment for all! It really opens your eyes to what an amazing ambience it reveals with everyone around you. Thank youuuuuuuuuu

This venue is great. It is intimate And I think any seat is great. Downtown L.A. is so Beautiful if you go to the right spots.

Its a great place to see a performance. Loved the show. The atmosphere is very chill and chic and the same time. theres plenty of options for food and over all a nice place to spend an evening with friends or with a date.

A nice venue to watch a show. Cheap parking for down town.

Great viewing angles but some of the microphones were a little muffled and soft

Great theatre. Parking lot escalator takes you straight up to the theatre. Great Mexican tacos at adjoining outdoor Mexican restaurant. Theatre has great stepped seating. Easy to see even higher up. Great fun! Nice staff.

Classic stage theater with a lot of history. I must say, it was nice to sit without the chairs from the row in front of me right up against my knees. Good legroom is hard to come by as everyone seems intent on cramming g as many bodies into a space as possible regardless of the consequences. The Ahmanson provides a pleasant alternative. However, even for theater, the cocktail prices are ridiculous.

Love the atmosphere.. Loved the shows. But it might be a good idea to update the seats a bit as I dont believe it represents the theater..

The best theater in LA and the nostalgia of the the 30s and 40s art deco theme in the theater house is breathtaking! Love this place!

Gorgeous theater, we sat in the balcony but could still see all of the stage. Access to disabled seats via elevator but only one elevator! Needs more elevator and bathrooms!

Great sound and design. Enjoyed the atmosphere. My only issue with the place is the tiny seats.

The show was fantastic. The dance, story, and costumes outstanding. Everyone from valet services to ushers, and service people were extreamly helpful. Thank you for a memorable evening

Great intimate theater. No matter where you sit there are great views due to the seating placements

The Last Ship was great really enjoyed

This is a world-class performing arts center in downtown LA. I’ve seen multiple shows here including, Indecent and Bright Star. Even if you have upper balcony seating, there really isn’t a bad seat in the house!Like most theatres, drinks and snacks are crazy expensive. My friend got a tiny $14 cup of red wine! Make plans to have a bite beforehand.Pro Tips:- Easy parking experience in their subterranean lot- Arrive at least 30 minutes early so you can find your way to the theatre...it’s a large campus!

This is a gorgeous location.Have been here twice, sitting in different locations depending on the show and the acoustics have been fantastic in each area.

Loves it. Saw The Book Of Mormon Musical. Really fantastic show & performances.

Tons of leg room, saw book of mormon here and I was able to see the stage clearly even though I was in the back row of the orchestra.

Fun venue, not too big not too small, but bring patience for the wine line as it is always backed up. Had a great time here.

Lovely smaller theater. Seats were comfortable, the sound was excellent and the concessions were, of course, over priced. But they did have tequila.

Beautiful place, very clean. My only concern was people kept showing up late and they were let in mid scene we all had to get up to let them in. Not only were we disturbed but people behind us were too.

The Ahmanson has some of the most unusual plays I have ever seen... The seats are pretty comfy and its a smaller theater in my opinion so any seat is a good seat and if you are disabled... You can call ahead of time and they will even have a wheel charity person that will roll you and guide you straight from your cars straight into the theater check with you during intermission take you back out to your car when youre done its really a great service that they have and I thought I would let you know just in case you are disabled and wanted to go to an ominous and play sometime they will make arrangements for you.

Is very comfortable, small but cute.

The ambience and atmosphere is genuine elegance.The only complaint would be the long lines at intermission.the acoustic is great The seating was perfect. The performance of swan lake by Mathew Bourne was fantastic.This theatre never disappoints.

Horrible air circulation. All the the white head old people wear too many scents. Theatre is supposed to have a scent free policy but its not enforced

First time here, parking cost about 9 dollars and was easy to navigate through. The theater was pretty nice and the seats were good too. Getting out after the shoe was pretty easy. The escalator can get packed when trying to leave, but there are also stairs near the atm outside.

Big without losing intimacy. Back rows still feel close. Bring snacks, limited choices.

Solid touring company theater, reasonably accessible by Metro, a bit thin on dining choices within walking distance. Dont miss the view overlooking Grand Park.

Beautiful piece of Los Angeles art and musical culture. The Ahmanson has exquisite sound and beautiful sights.

Wonderful one man showHistory of the truth aboutIndigenous peoples hereand close islands.The audience was very quiet when his remarkshit homeToo bad many people willnot see the playThe man is a comedianin his real lifeHe was great!!!

Its a comfortable place, with a good view from all places. Excellent sound.

Great theatre. We came to watch Swann Lake and had seats in the mezzanine that had a good view to the stage

They sell cheese plates with stinky blue cheese. Instead of eating it in the plaza, the girl next to me decided the theatre was a proper place for a picnic and told me to blame the Ahmanson. Drinks in plastic cups were also allowed and of course someone knocked a cup over a few rows ahead. Sounds of snacks and plastic echoed throughout. Smfh. This city just cant have nice things.

Book Of Morman- fabulous! Gorgeous night to walk around before the show.

It is a classic LA theater and I have never seen a bad show there. Balcony pricing is good for people on a budget if you cant always afford prime orchestra seating, but avoid the front row balcony as the rail can block the view of the downstage area.

Spectacular theater.Saw Les Miserables here the first time. So many great shows. Just a wonderful venue.Great staff.Parking is easy.Wish the tickets were less expensive heheh

Great venue. Saw soft power and it was a great show.

Awesome place! We saw the Aint too proud, Musical about the temptations and it was excellent.

I love seeing shows here. Great sight lines, excellent sound.

Its small but good space from the seat in front you. Its a very cozy theatre.

LA has a secret, there’s a theatre scene here and it’s wonderful. Come early to socialize and drink wine in the courtyard.

The Theater is always a nice venue..but the Musical Stings The Last Ship was is and Fantastic..He is hands down one the most Artistic and Creative Musical Artist on the Planet Earth...

A gorgeous modern theater with great sightlines from every seat, and beautiful architecture/design

Great ambiance for seeing a performance and good views of the stage and sound even from the back of the theater
