Good campus theatre which has the full of the history of UCLA. Came here for the shows of CAP at UCLA. Always has the good stage performances. Beautiful theatre with the great management and the wonderful views on the west wing balcony in sunset.

Royce Hall is a beautiful Building inside and out. The university keeps it in wonderful condition. Its easy to hear who is on stage. I always choose to sit on the ground floor as close to the stage as possible. The seats are well cushioned and large enough to accommodate an average person.

Awesome Venue with family history. Saw a great jazz concert here. My partner is a alumni and hadnt been in the building since she was a freshman. We were staying in the area that night and she offered a tour of the campus and memory lane. We spent most of the next day on the campus.

It brings back memories and creates new ones. It reminds us of adversity and rekindles our quest for diversity. It is nostalgia and hope. It is UCLA.

Royce Hall is stunningly beautiful as is the library across the courtyard. The Acoustics were mind-bogglingly good. It has a wonderful feeling and environment once you step through the doors, and it is a place I feel tremendously comfortable and at home in. Besides that, the person that brought me deserves 6 Stars.

I have been there many times for concerts, events ets.. the building is historic and beautiful (specially at night with a good moonlight). The only negative that comes to mind is the fact that it is not very accessible and distance between parking and building is considerable. The inside is pretty standard and nothing very stands out but I like its classic soul

A great medium sized theater on the UCLA campus. We were there for a concert and everything from parking, to the shuttles from the parking structure, to the beautiful theater itself were all great. The acoustics were decent and the seats were super comfortable. I look forward to visiting again.

Gorgeous theater on an absolutely beautiful campus. Great sound and small enough where all the seats are decent.The only major ding... why sell alcohol but not tell us that we can’t bring alcohol into the theater!?! So it forces you to chug as soon as you buy the drinks. What a weird set up...

If you have an event there, go early because the hall is not very big.The outside and the inside are really nice!

Beautiful architectural landmark which is synonymous with UCLA. Venue for lectures and events, both academic and otherwise. Youve undoubtedly seen it appear in a Hollywood film as it is a popular location for movie ahoots, etc.

Being here is like a dream come true. I always wanted to be a Bruin and now, Royce Hall has become my go to getaway spot. My very first class at UCLA was in Royce Hall so this iconic building will always have a special place with me.

Finally! I have my Sunday morning, football on the big screen, breakfast buffet, cheap mimosa sports bar and so close to my hood that I can ride my bike and take advantage of the great drink specials. In all honesty, I didnt try the breakfast but I know it was free. Kind of dark inside but there is a big open window that lets in a lot of light and has a counter for you to lean on in case there is anyone out there who still smokes. Cant wait til Sunday.

A justifiably famous venue. I was just back for the first time since high school and it still inspires that sense of history that 16 year old Misha was taken by. You know the names of the folks who have played here, and something about their essence still lingers. The upstairs poster room is dope too.

Royce Hall is the landmark icon of UCLA and rightly so. Its beautiful and grand and is a symbol of academic achievement at one of the best institutions in the nation. Utilitarian wise, I have been to several Cultural nights in the historic auditorium and it is the perfect place to host those.

Review №34

Interesting architecture, definitely feels old school. Not particularly ornate as the Pantages theatre in Hollywood, still has an amazing feel of authenticity.The Los Angeles Ballet performance of The Nutcracker in December was delightful. From the balcony, we could see the entire stage come to life. My kids enjoyed the ballet, especially my 10 year old daughter.The audio was good, with ample sound for a classical performance. We will visit again for a concert. Parking was about a mile walk, but we enjoyed walking through the historic UCLA campus.

Two Bars which makes for getting your drink faster. They had a live cover band that played a wide range of music, all of which was conducive to singing and dancing. Overall a good casual place to go for drinks, not much seating available and the place was pretty packed by 11:30 on a Friday.

Came to see Chevelle on Friday the 13th and had a great time. Everyone working the venue was friendly and accommodating. It was clean and all around put together. I cannot remember the servers name but she made the whole event so much better. She took orders from inside the crowd and actually brought them into the crowd. She was fast and had a great memory.

Royce Hall is the heart of the university. One of the first buildings on campus, it has architectural charm from another era as well as a friendly Harry Potter vibe. Go Bruins.

I was very disappointed. I did not get to meet Mr. Or Mrs. Royce. Ive heard many good things about them and their homemade chicken pot pies. There were no mash potatoes served at the performance I attended. Very upsetting. UCLA get it together. We want chicken pot pies and mash potatoes!

Here for a Joan Baez concert. Of course Joan was wonderful, but the venue added so much to the experience. Beautiful interior, good acoustics, and very helpful ushers. I was especially impressed by the free shuttle from the parking structure.

We had the cheap seats so they arent going to be the best in the house but we were literally sitting sideways facing away from the stage with a railing blocking our view. The parking attendant told us that the garage was the only place to park and that it was cash only (why is it cash only? Its 2019, who carries cash? Also something that should be communicated before even purchasing tickets.) but when we went to get cash we found parking around the corner two blocks away. Even without those two extra blocks it was an extremely long walk with lots of hills for someone dressed up in high heels to go to the theater. The show was amazing and Batsheva dance company is the only reason this review gets as many stars as it did.

Review №61

I went to see Tigran Hamasyan play here at Royce Hall and I must say that my experience was rather unfortunate.I want to point out that while I had a great time at the concert, the staffers at Royce Hall did a relatively terrible job managing the show because while a show is going on, it seems that the ushers let people in as the concert in progress. I understand that this is to let people, who paid for their tickets, in but when it gets to the point that so many people are being let in at 20-30 minute intervals and to the point that the performer himself actually has to stop the concert just to let people take their seats, that just completely ruins the experience for everyone. I truly hope that the staff at Royce Hall is made aware of this because if this is a common practice at the performing center, they should know that letting huge groups of people in during the concert just spoils the performance. It is just rude and inconsiderate to the performer and the audience and it would perhaps be ideal to at least let the tardy people come in at the proper timing instead of during a song.

Saw John McLaughlins last show here and it was absolutely epic. This venue is pretty incredible, the main theater area is majestic, and very aesthetically pleasing. Acoustics were great, we sat in the upper balcony area and had a superb view too. Definitely coming back to this venue for shows in the future.

If youre a UCLA student, seeing Royce Hall in its beauty makes you proud to be a Bruin. If youre not a UCLA student, it makes you want to be a Bruin. The auditorium inside is impressively large. The classrooms are relatively new and clean as well. Definitely a highlight of UCLAs campus.

We saw the youth symphony perform here...for free! Let me start off by saying that it is great that they periodically offer things like this for free! We took my daughter and she really liked it. The hall was clean and it was neat that we got to sit up on the balcony.

Along with Powell Library and Janss steps, Royce is one of the most iconic places on the campus, and has an absolutely stunning auditorium for events and the like. Royce also has some of the nicer lecture halls and classrooms on campus along with Haines and the rest of the humanities area.

I saw the Los Angeles ballet perform Swan Lake here. Ive seen a lot of great performers at Royce Hall through the years but it didnt work for the ballet that night. The stage was too small and the ballerinas to crammed. Add to that the fact there was no Orchestra but only pre-recorded music and you really should spend a little bit more money to see a Russian ballet in a larger setting. I would have thought it to be okay and worth the money if they had a real Orchestra given they would still look cramped on stage. Unless your idea of a ballet takes place inside of bus bumping around with people the next time they tour like I said spend a little more money and go see the Bolshoi or Kirov.

Review №91

Hall is great, beautiful inside and quite comfortable. But parking is so convoluted. When paying at kiosk you must enter your license plate number. But this is not posted anywhere so you only realize it after you have parked and walked to kiosk. Also you can only pay cash, exact amount at the kiosk. UCLA hosts so many events its time to modernize their parking system.
