I was bowled over by the original Phantom of the Opera with Michael Crawford it was the biggest, most lyrical and breathtaking thing Ive ever seen, as close to Broadway as you could get outside of New York City is what I read from Gigi Butler founder of Gigis cupcakes book called The Secret Ingredient Recipes for Success in Business and Life I havent been but it has to be a fantastic place for her to mention in her book, A definite most go!

First time to here to watch frozen musical. Really cool experience. The special effect is so amazing that I didn’t know how they do it. It’s so real for freezing effect. And it’s like watching the movie with real man~ the snowman is amazing too

A gorgeous Art Deco architectural icon of classic Hollywood. Too bad it’s temporarily closed. We’ve seen several shows here. When it reopens, try to come.

Scored some major points bringing my wife here We saw Frozen here for our wedding anniversary this year.First time going to the Theatre and it was actually quite a lovely experience. Inside is so massive and epic. Feels like we’re inside a castle! Parking was across the street at a parking structure which cost $20 and was a short walk to the Theatre.Staff was friendly and it was just a very nice and pleasant experience. II plan on taking my wife to this Theatre to was many more shows

A true icon of the area that perfectly complements the Hollywood experience. Extremely beautiful on the inside and an easy to navigate theater. The stage itself, lighting, sound etc are great. I was there for a musical called “Anastasia” - highly recommended. Try to not need to use the restroom though, the line is probably longer than the play itself. It’s also a 10-15 minute walk to the Chinese theater and hard rock caffe but the walk itself is not the best.

This theatre is AWESOME. I came here to see Frozen the play and it was sooo good. Great special effects, story and acting. Seats were comfortable and staff were friendly and helpful. If your in LA you must go see this play you will enjoy it!

We just went and saw Miss Saigon, and it was amazing. The props and set up was so intricate. Everything was insanely professional. Other than that, I have seen The Lion King and Wicked here, and those were both great as well. The Pantages is an awesome theater, with great seating, and beautiful decoration. The ceiling is really cool, and its lit up blue, to make it look like natural lightning. They have it set up to where everyone can see, no matter where you are in the house. We had really wonderful seats, and that were very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back:)

Another great show at the famous Pantages! Restrooms were clean and I love the coffee mugs they give. Beautiful venue. I suggest not sitting in the top on the sides though since the side speakers do detract from hearing the main singing.

One of the best preserved examples of classic Art Deco architecture in Los Angeles, its iconic location near the corner of Hollywood and Vine, and consistently high quality Broadway productions make The Pantages a must see for almost any visitor to Hollywood.Pro-tip: If your show has an intermission and you need to use the restroom, immediately make your way there. A full house equal long loo queues.

The Pantages is the most beautiful theater in Los Angeles. Carol Burnett used to be an usher there. The sound system is perfect and the theater Built in 1930 the architecture has been fully restored. This is one of the last of old time Hollywood icons. I have seen several musicals here and enjoyed each one. If you’re wanting to see Hollywood at it finest then this is the place to go.

Anistasha The Musical Show was Amazing!! Pentages theater crew did a great job!! It is my first time going into the theater & it is so Beautiful!! We had a great time. The show was fascinating & stage was well set. Will definitely go back to watch up coming musical shows ️

When you imagine going to the theatre, this is where your mind attempts to create. The lavish art deco design transports you to a glamorous era. Every nook and cranny is filled with beautiful design. Ive seen The Phantom of the Opera and Anastasia here and both times I was completely blown away. Only the best productions get a chance to run here. The stage production is on a level I hadnt seen before. A combination of well animated screens perfectly hidden in the set and large, well executed set pieces, emerse you in the production. Reasonably priced concessions and helpful ushers only add to the experience. Tickets can be found at very reasonable prices and last minute most of the time. If you havent seen a show here, give yourself the gift of the experience.

This is a wonderful place to see any type of show. I went to see the Donna Summer musical. The production, music and just everything about the musical was perfect. The Pantages created a beautiful and warm atmosphere. The art deco design of the building was just so amazing and very detailed. I would come here again when i get the chance.

Love this old theater. Have seen dozens of performances here and all of them professionally done. Parking can be a challenge and generally runs about $20-25 for nearby lots. You can take a metro train to station across the street. Lots of cool celebrity stars to look at on sidewalk. Get season tickets if you can afford!

Saw Phantom of the Opera here. Beautiful production. The inside of this Art Deco theatre is breath-taking! So much to see! The chandelier is especially stunning. Be sure to check out the bathrooms too. We had drinks before the show that were Phantom themed and delicious. The bar tender was very friendly. Highly recommend taking the opportunity to see a show here and a chance to take in the beauty of this Hollywood gem.

The is a great venue. Really great sound. Loop for hearing aids. Helpful for handicap and wheelchairs! Every detail was thought through. We would have eaten close by if we had known about some of the close restaurants. Beautiful interior. Comfortable seats, smaller, but at six feet tall I fit. Very steep incline for the aisles.

This theater is one of my favorite ones to go to. Its the breathtakingly beautiful large theatre with a gorgeous interior, restored in the 90s. The acoustics are great, comfortable seating, nice view and the venue itself is very good.

Absolutely amazing performance from the Frozen cast. The sets, choir, orchestra, and cast were phenomenal and I would definitely go to this theatre again! Side note, the bathrooms were very clean and stocked!

Every performance experienced here is mind blowing! The architecture of the theater alone is unbelievable. Always leave knowing Ill be back.

The historical venue offers many Broadway worthy productions. Consider taking the train and beat the traffic. The red line train will take you right to Hollywood and Vine, where you emerge directly in front of the Pantages. Season packages are a great way to make sure you get to the best shows!

Amazing! Ive seen wicked here several years ago and just a few weeks back saw frozen. Its incredible inside the theater. And the staff there are amazing and very helpful.

Always a treat to come here, its beautiful clean and the employees are so helpful. The antique look is so gorgeous, almost like taking a step back in time. NOT a bad seat in the place. Tho its a small venue you cant go wrong. The date night special was helpful. The BIG chocolate cookies are yummy we bought two!

Great venue to see a play. A plus is it is right on Hollywood boulevard so after a show a person can take a walk down the street to enjoy a good meal or the many activities available.

The BEST place to watch plays. The staff always friendly. Parking is convenient. The whole night will be FUN. NO matter what you see here at Pantages...

Absolutely love pantages! We go almost every month. Ive never had any issues with the venue or staff. Everyone is pleasant. Ive sat all around the theater and while of course some seats are better than others, Ive always been able to see the stage and enjoy the show.

Gorgeous facility, first class traveling broadway shows pass through here. Its an old fashioned theater experience!

I come here almost every month since I am a season ticket holder and it never disappoints. The staff is very friendly and always offer to help you find your seat, and the snacks are great! And you can never get over how beautiful the theater is inside!Parking is something you have to really look for if youre looking to pay as little as you can. Id recommend the lot to the left of The Museum of Death. $10 parking there.

Beautiful theater. We went for the 8 pm show. Parking across the street was easy in a garage for 20 bucks. The theater has security lines so make sure to get there about 20 minutes before the show to use the restroom, grab a snack (movie theater prices to say the least) and find your seat. There is no photography during the show which makes it more enjoyable. Boosters available for children if you ask. Stage door on the right of the theater after show to get to meet the actors and get your playbill signed. It was a great time.

Always a great time! Ive seen several shows here and there doesnt seem to be a bad seat in the house. Plenty of parking and good options in the area.

Great theater, great venue. The crowd control is phenomenal. The workers have it down nicely. Very easy to find parking and I felt safe and treated well by employees. Thank you! Great play of Frozen. Fully enjoyed! The special effects were very well done.

This theater is so glamorous. I loved it.The architecture is antique and just marvelous (I am not an expert).The service is efficient in spite of the popularity and the amount of people that visit this theater. The location is convenient for those people staying in hostels on Hollywood boulevard. If you are visiting LA, you must get tickets for a show in Hollywood Pantages, you wont regret it (as long as is a Broadway show :P).

This theater is beautiful. We saw Frozen the Musical here and loved it. The lighting and special effects were amazing. My 6 yr old at certain points was on his feet cheering. The sound in theater is outstanding. We sat in the Mezzanine and view was great.

Beautiful theater from the outside and even better place once you step inside. Nice and helpful staff. A nice beverage and snack area to purchase treats before the show. The bathrooms get a bit crazy during intermission but the staff keeps it all moving efficiently, so you don’t miss out on the second act. If your favorite play happens to be coming to this wonderful theater I recommend getting tickets, you won’t regret it :)

What an amazing and beautiful historical theater!!! The staff are curtious and charming, the building is well kept and clean. The experience is almost magical. The interior is picturesque and whimsical. There is not another theater quite like it! The two times I have been there have both been grand and memorable. I recommend taking loved ones there, or a very special someone, to create lasting memories that are highly impressionable.

Gorgeous theatre with friendly, helpful staff. Decent line of sight even in the nosebleed section. Only downside was expensive parking closest to the theatre--$30 for the evening behind the theatre. Parked 1/2 block south on Vine for $10. Was told by another theatre goer not to walk alone in the area if female at night.

It was a great experience watching a Broadway at Hollywood Pantages Theater. Ushers are so helpful. Very comfortable and looking for your seat number is so easy, so organized.

Beautiful inside. Seating is set up to provide a great view of the stage. The attendants where professional. The seats where easy to find. Parking was close and the theater crowd where very polite. Only problem was not enough restrooms and no leg room.

I have watch two of my favorite plays here Evita and The Phantom of the Opera. Never disappoints.

Absolutely beautiful theatre just across the way from Hollywood and Vine Metro Redline Station.

Ive seen a few shows here and every one of them has been amazing. Think we will become regulars. Easy to get to unless during rush hour. Plenty of parking lots in the area. The building itself on the interior is gorgeous. Art Deco with beautiful architectural details. The venue is not hugs so there really isnt a bad seat in the house.

This theater is absolutely stunning.

Always a great place to watch a musical. My personal preference is always sitting up at the mezzanine so I can see everything around the stage. The theater is very well maintained and the beautiful fixtures and ceiling complement the ambiance.

I love the Pantages. We went to see Wicked! Best cast ever. I have seen it 15 times. Still need to improve on their bathroom... Just not enough for the crowds. Absolutely ridiculous! That was my only gripe!

Preposterous, pretentious, and wonderful. Nearly a Gershwin melody. The Pantages is a jewel of Hollywood. Whatever the event, play or musical, is enhanced by the classic theater design, history, and ambiance. Great location, Hollywood and Vine metro station and adjoins hotels and restaurants. Easy to make a long weekend of the Pantages, hotel room, good food, and fun.Downside is parking and accessibility from the freeway can be a pain. Lesson learned is plan ahead and arrive early. They do not hold the play when the freeway is congested.

My wife and I went here to see Wicked! We really LOVED our experience! It is an awesome, beautiful, old theater! It was just an awesome experience! Worth every penny!

I love coming to this theatre.This time I came for Fiddler on the Roof, which I had not seen since I was a child, which left me wishing for an encore.Even before the play, I loved sitting in my seat and looking around at the opulence which harkens back to a time when theatre was king. The way it is maintained and technology updated, so we get the best theatrical experience possible. Be there early and stay seated till most people leave, because I find the exits to be too small for the multitudes that attend.The Pantages Theatre is undoubtedly the gem of Hollywood.

We went there to see the show Frozen. What an amazing place! Its in Hollywood so unless you live close, you will be doing some driving but its worth it. Its quite a majestic place, very theatrical, makes you forget for a couple of hours that you are still in L.A. We forgot to add parking in our reservation but were able to find a very affordable parking lot two blocks away, but then it was during the week, not sure it would have been that easy on a weekend.

This theatre captures the elegance and opulence of yesteryear with all the modern ammenities. There is no bad seat in the house as I have been privileged to sit in various spots. I have seen Aladdin, Wicked, and Cats here. The productions have been extraordinary. The theatre is a rare gem in Hollywood for the theatre going enthusiast or novice as well.

Art Deco at its finest. Great seating, not z bad seat in the house.

This year I got to relive one of the best memories of my childhood by taking my kiddo to the new production of CATS. The show was spectacular (all 3 times we went) with a different magnificent experience from the balcony, mid theatre, and 8th row aisle. Amazing cast and crew. Bravo! Bravo!

One of the kind building. Its worth to see it. They have very good program. Parking is a problem.

From the outside the theater is not very impressive, but inside is beautiful, clean, and well kept. The lobby and theater are well lit, so you should have no problem finding your way. If you are unable or have difficulty walking up and/or down stairs, then I do not recommend you purchase any seats in the mezzanine/balcony section. As they do not have any elevators. Not sure if there are steps or ramp in the orchestra section. The staff was very kind and helpful locating your seats. My only real gripe with this theater are the actual seats. If you think an airplane has cramped seating, then this would shock you, as there is even less room. They are very narrow and rows are so close together at least in the mezzanine/balcony section. Im about 510 180 pounds and with me sitting upright and all the way back in the seat, my knees were hitting the seats in front of me. Overall though, I highly recommend this theater to see a production.My daughter and I had gone there to watch the production of The Phantom of the Opera. As she had never seen it before. This was my fourth time and third time seeing it at the Pantages Theatre. Unfortunately we did not have the best seats. As you can see in the pictures, we had a clear view to the stage. Even after everyone was seated. We were just far away from the stage. The very last row in the mezzanine/balcony.

This is such an iconic theatre. Built in 1930 a must see venue. Came to see Anastasia this evening. Sadly wasnt my kind of show. Preferred Beautiful which I saw last year here. The staff are lovely. Park down the road. And dont be all once you pop you just cant stop cos the toilet queues can be long!

Absolutely beautiful theater, a time capsule of the great Art Deco era of building that sadly have either been destroyed or left to rot and decay. This theater has such detail in everything from the staircase to the bathrooms tile work.

Season ticket holders and I am in love with everything about this magical place.

The theatre was is beautiful. The play Miss Saigon was awesome. The theatre is just too cold, you may need a sweater.

The Hollywood Pantages Theatre is also a popular location for the filming of movies, TV shows, and music videos. Concert scenes in the 1980 film The Jazz Singer and in Michael Jacksons 1995 video You Are Not Alone are just two examples out of many. Rickie Lee Joness 1979 self-titled debut album includes a reference to the Pantages in her song Chuck E.s In Love.

My spouse and I love the Art deco interior with incredible productions over the many years living in southern California. We saw tonight Donna Summer Musical. It was awesome. Along with an excellent cast and musicians, the story of the life of La Donna Gaines told not only about the music of the Disco Queen, but also how her faith in God built her life and led her to what her purpose in life was all about. We rated it a 10.

I love this place. This is the place to go if you want to suspend reality while talented singers, dancers and actors make magic! Who doesnt need a break from the grind? This show I saw this time was Kinky Boots and it was flawless. The message is one that every single person can take home with them. We all have room to be more accepting and kind to each other. The cast was so nice afterwards and I got many many autographs. I am going to frame my program with a red frame!

This is a lovely theater. I was fortunate to see Hamilton there and was not only wowed by the performance, but also by the gorgeousness if the venue.The Pantages has been meticulously preserved and it really shows in many fine details.The location is great with multiple good spots within immediate walking distance. We grabbed some quick food at the Starbucks across the street. The Walk of Fame is also just around the corner.A reasonable parking lot is just one block away across from the Capitol Records building.I would love to see another play there in the future.

Amazing theater! Every seat is a good seat. Beautiful decorations throughout the whole place. The snacks were super overpriced, as expected, but other than that the place is breathtaking.

I absolutely love this theater. I saw wicked here about eight years ago. But I had to come again when I saw that Aladdin was playing. My family and I are huge Disney fans and it happened to be my moms birthday. The restrooms are way over crowded. And $4 for a normal bottle of water :( but the value of entertainment is spectacular and I cant wait to come back

Enjoyed the theatre and being in the midst of Old Hollywood History. Special. Seats were comfortable for me. Nice audience.Restrooms are assessable. Wait time for restrooms ,Not Bad. The Womens line somewhat longer than Mens. Carpeted floors. Assess for the handicapped was easy to find. Staff: very accomodatimg. Bars are available. Nimble food was expensive ,but not over the top. The show: Donna Summer Play: Energy and tremendous singing. Good production... Oops: Parking in Hollywood: $20.00 and up...Check it out,Don Owens

I saw cats play over here , the theater looks old, seating is comfort, and with affordable price , you have to arrange off-site parking which you can book along with ticket.

Whats not to love...Hollywood at its best. Gorgeous art deco details throughout! No elevator so if you are handicapped buy seats on main level not mezzanine.

A beautiful historic theater in Hollywood, Ca. Very crowded however they had plenty of employees to escort you to your seats, restrooms etc. I do wish that they had multiple kiosks for souvenirs and snacks. Lines were way too long and I am sure the theater missed out on a lot of sales.

We came here to see Wicked and the theatre really delivers the old school theatre feel reminiscent of what you find in downtown Manhattan or Chicago for a Broadway show. The atrium and theatre itself are overflowing with character and intricacies to admire. Even from the balcony the view and acoustics were great. Hopefully a show of interest comes to town again soon so we can go back.

What a gorgeous venue! So well preserved and elegant inside. We havent been here in a few years, forgot how nice it was refurbished. We saw Frozen , it was excellent, well performed, staged executed. Highly recommend.

Beautiful on the Broadway. This is my first time coming to the Pantages Theatre. Its so gorgeous with nice decoration. This is one of the old theaters in LA. I have been a few of them, I think Pantages is the best among them all. If you pay attention, the ceiling is really dedicated and neat. The sound system works perfectly. The AC was not deadly cold like a meat lodge, it was actually perfect temperature. We watched the broadway show- Beautiful Carole King musical. Its such a lovely play, with a list of famous songs. I was so amazed by how talented those performers are. The overall experience definitely exceeded my expectations. Will come back more!

Just saw Frozen there. It was fantastic. There were lots of kids, but its a kid story... so it was expected. I loved seeing them light up at certain parts of the show. Have to see again before it leaves.

This is a great, historic venue in the heart of Hollywood with a vintage feel, but modern everything else. Right on the Walk of Fame, near dozens of shops and restaurants, this theater is clean, comfortable and staffed with friendly staff. We saw Disenys Frozen and it was great. Would recommend this venue and hope to return for Hamilton, which comes to LA in March 2020.

I came this year to see Frozen the musical and it was absolutely beautiful. The theater is so beautiful and has a great vibe. I couldnt believe the amazing merchandise they had for this show. They had a scarf with mini Olafs at a great quality and a frozen custom Swarovski snowflake necklace. There were a lot of cool jackets as well. Everyone was so friendly and even though the snacks were a little on the expensive side and not very appetizing, I had an amazing time. I would love to see even more interactive items for guests but it was a perfect first experience here in LA! The performers are amazing!

Aside from its history, the Pantsges is a really nice place to see musicals. Frozen was great, the evening was fantastic

I saw Anastasia with my grandmother, as a birthday gift to her. The show was a amazing. The only problem I had was the seating, Im 511 and the seating is super close together. The theater was clean.

A beautiful theater on the inside. Staff was great. My wife had a broken foot and they would bring the scooter down to us between acts and after the show. A few restaurants near by to walk to if you have time before the show.

This is not my 1st time coming here. This particular visit we saw A Bronx Tale. The theater is just as wonderful decorative and bright as I remember it. Regardless of where you sit everyone gets to see an amazing show! Hearing the music and the band perform simultaneously with the acting, For me puts it over the top! I highly recommend the pantages theater for anyone of all ages. A timeless classic! An intricate and important part of Hollywood and Theater!

I love how beautiful the theater is. I have seen 3 shows here and they have all been great. My one complaint is that they sell snacks, because each time I’ve come here, there is always someone sitting near me shaking their box of Milk Duds or some other snack, and it’s VERY disruptive. Otherwise, it’s a great place to see a show.

Got to see the live changing musical Hamilton here. Was absolute amazing. I loved the architecture of the building and there was a lot to do around it while I was waiting for the show to start.

Absolutely gorgeous theatre with fabulously talented actors! We saw Wicked and it was great!! During the intermission you can get drinks and snacks, the young man who assisted us was very friendly and handled the long line well :)

Wonderful, absolutely fun and extremely well done, very glad we went.

The Pantages Theater is such a wonderful place to see a play. Easy to get to and easy to get into!

I took my wife to The Hollywood Pantages for our 1st Wedding Anniversary to watch Hamilton, The Musical, and it did not disappoint! We are die-hard Hamilton fans and weve listened to the original cast performance, nearly 30 times now! Weve got every song of Hamilton memorized, by heart, and yet there is something truly magical, even exhilarating, about watching the performance of Hamilton live. We were laughing hysterically in parts, mesmerized in other moments, moved to tears by the performances of Burn and Its Quiet Uptown, and completely and forever impressed and moved, by the end. The Los Angeles cast members might be just as good as the originals and I do not write that lightly. The excitement and fervor of The American cause for freedom, independence, and greatness has never been so brilliantly retold as Lin Manuel Miranda has done with his masterpiece, Hamilton. And with this musical, a long forgotten yet perhaps most important Founding Father of them all, Alexander Hamilton, has finally had his story and legacy properly told and finally preserved, for good, in this modern-day master work of music, singing, art, culture, ethnicity, diversity, and splendor. If Lin Manuel Miranda is not our generations Shakespeare, Im lost for words for who else to crown with that title!

Great place to see a show. Located on Hollywood and Vine.Probably one of the most iconic theaters in Hollywood.Must see!

Anastasia was delightful! The staff is always so great. The line for the ladies room @ intermission is always insane. Theres valet parking across the street, which helps to conserve time.

What an amazing theatre. Do yourself a favor and purchase at the box office and save the price of the convenience fee at ticket Master. We saved almost 100 bucks on 3 tickets. All seats are good seats why pay double to selit 6 feet away. It is a small theatre and I heard it is haunted. Great time. Concession s are outrageous 7 dollars for a bottle of water.

A very classic feeling to watching the arts. Best done in groups and enjoyed with friends and loved one. The best part lies in the ambience and the atmosphere, it just puts the audience into the performance.

Its a great place, feels like time traveling in a movie.

Went to the opening for The Color Purple. Great performances. Amazing venue with plenty of decor to visually stimulate your evening. Lots of snacks and restrooms. Parking all around and metro stop across the street.

Nice facilities and good show, come on a app ride because parking is not cheap or easy to to find...

Lovely old theatre with a lot of character. Great place to see a show

Beautiful theatre rich in architectural design and history. The premier theater for all things Broadway, west coast style. That being said the seats are very tight, with little leg room. Of they could find a way to redesign them, this would be a 5 star rating.

Went to to see Frozen. Our seats were center right first mezzanine. Loved the show. Ordered packing ahead and it was a breeze to park and get out. Theater was beautiful,clean staff courteous. We look forward to Hamilton.

Beautiful interior, conveniently located right across street from Hollywood and Vine Metro Station. Great acoustics and well laid out visually...come see a play!

Love this Theatre! Its always a pleasant experience, great shows, and lots of parking lots in the area

I love visiting here. This is true Hollywood History that lives now. Went for the Wicked Lottery with a friend. It’s a must visit to catch a Broadway show in LA.

Incredible theater to see any play. Highly recommended

I love the Pantages! Its so venerable and wonderfully familiar and such a part of Hollywood history. Great venue for musicals and plays with plenty of room, easy viewing from all seat locations, a nice subdued lighting atmosphere, easy to get to location with several parking garages within a block plus now MetroLink I think is in the next block East on Hollywood Blvd. Ive been to this venue probably 30 times for various plays including seeing Wicked 7 times there and its been the best every time I visit. Bathroom lines get pretty hectic though - fair warning, and it can be a madhouse outside while waiting to get in but how bad can that be? At least youve got tickets!

You have to go here for live theater. It is THE BEST theater in LA for a show. If youre visiting LA make sure you grab tickets to a show. Or if you’re local be sure to check them out. Perfect for fam, friends, or a date. In addition, the architecture alone is worth the visit because the entire building was designed in an Art Defo fashion. As a designer this theater is a real world design spectacle. And one of the sexiest Art Deco real world examples you can find in LA.

So obviously this is the famous Pantages Theater which is BEAUTIFUL . My only complaint is how close the seats are to each other. Otherwise..

Beautiful theater doesnt seem to be any bad seats
