I’ve been to the Pantages several times now and I haven’t had a bad experience! The theater has a very classic feel to it, once you walk in you can tell it has a lot of history. It’s very Art Deco and overall the space is pretty large. I’ve seen multiple plays and I can tell you that the best seats are either in the mezzanine or the mid-to front side of the orchestra section. It’s very hard to see here if you’re in the back of the house. Thankfully, this venue provides binoculars for your viewing pleasure. Be warned that seating is very tight in some areas and you don’t get a lot of leg room, this can make you feel very cramped. If you’re in the mood for snacks or soft drinks there’s a station for you and if you’re over 21+ there are two alcohol stations. At this venue I’ve seen people dress all types of styles spanning from casual, semi-casual and formal. Usually at each show they’re are merchandise stations so fans can purchase momentos. The staff are always friendly and sharply dressed with their red vests and they’re always on game mode and willing to help.
On the famed corner of Hollywood & Vine, sits the historic Hollywood Pantages Theatre, one of the most iconic venues in the Western U.S. The largest and grandest of the movie palaces from Hollywood’s Golden Age, the Hollywood Pantages is now Southern California’s preeminent showplace for blockbuster live Broadway entertainment! All of staff are kind and helpful. The inside of the theater is very antique and elegant. The seats are comfortable.

My first time here and the theater was beautiful! The sound was great in there. Had a great seat. We prepaid for parking when we purchased our tickets. It was short walk around the corner. We did see a parking lot across the street for $20 on Vine. The restrooms were clean. There were multiple bars for drinks. Masks are required inside the theater. Definitely will be back to watch more shows.

Absolutely amazing performance of Moulin Rouge. Staff was attentive in reminding Guests to keep their masks on during the performance. Guests should be mindful and turn off their phones before Act 2. Otherwise, continue with the outstanding job. Working front of House can be a bit challenging. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon.
Went to see STOMP with my fiance. This was a great place to visit. I think given the size of the venue, you don't necessary have to sit in the very front row. I think any row is pretty good seat. The only downside is that the height between rows are small, so if aren't really tall or someone tall is in front of you...it might get in your view.
I'm going to actually rate the Pantages itself. This has nothing to do with the musical I saw which was amazing. We went to the Pantages last night. Entry...

All facilities kept 👍. Need additional bathrooms but probably hard to accommodate. Great unforgettable night. Moulin Rouge was greatly organized. This is one of the best performances I've seen in Pantages
The 1920's art deco architecture make taking in a musical or play here an exercise in an elegant step back in time.Acoustics are great and parking is relatively painless. It is worth spending extra for orchestra seating. The are some great restaurants and bars close by for après dining and socializing.Truly elegant, the architecture and décor are as enjoyable as what's on stage. Exceptional, classy venue.
The Pantages is truly a beautiful and iconic architectural masterpiece. The entire theatre is mesmerizing. All of the details are spectacular. I am a season ticket holder and every play we've seen has been fabulous (except for Cats. Mr. Man and I did not like that one). You must see a play here just to see the architecture. Last night we saw Moulin Rouge and the theatre blended excellently with the sets.

The performance was absolutely excellent, and the theater is gorgeous. I was really blown away. I was lucky enough to see Hamilton multiple nights, one with an understudy; he was every bit as great as the main performer. I came away with a newfound love for the play!I want to make special note that the staff at The Pantages were absolutely exceptional. Everyone from the ticket desk to the ushers went above and beyond and were consistently polite, knowledgeable, accommodating, and efficient. Beyond impressive.

I visited two weeks ago to watch Hamilton and really enjoyed my experience. They were still requiring masks at the time and were not selling concessions. Although there was a long line to walk into the theater it did not take long to get through. The theater itself is quite beautiful and very art deco. The one thing I will say is that the seats are on the small side so good luck if you're tall.

This is the first visit during the pandemic that we come back to the Pantages, great experience, people are mask on at all times and the staff are reminding everyone to do so. We parked behind the theater and had easy access; we arrived an hour before the show. The entrance was smoothly done having vaccine proof. With respect to one another, we can enjoy theater again! 😁🥰

The theatre itself is gorgeous!! The staff were extremely helpful and very professional. I was surprised at how young many of them were but appreciated/impressed that they took an interest in the shows. I was raised with regular visits to the symphony, ballet and shows. One of the things I've noticed when talking to contemporaries and younger is that this is a rare experience. So, it was wonderful to see the younger staff taking advantage of a job that allows them access to these shows. At the time that I visited Hamilton was showing. I LOVE the original, but this one felt like a huge letdown. However, that doesn't affect my appreciation of the theatre.

This venue is top-notch first class and always a pleasure to attend a show or concert. The sound quality was phenomenal, some friends and I saw Hamilton. It sounded amazing the show production was great and well worth the money. Parking can be challenging $25 over on argyle or a block south for about $10.Enjoy the show Cheers

The venue is such a beautiful one and even with the restrictions in place (need proof of. Vaccine to get in and you need to wear your mask), the experience felt close to normal. The staff where welcoming and helpful. Hamilton was phenomenal and I am happy to have seen it at my favorite theater. Can’t wait to be back!

We had such a great experience seeing Hamilton! We were dropped off in front of the theatre and the staff were very helpful asking if we were ready to enter and then offering a wheelchair for our elderly grandmother. It would've been helpful if they let us know there weren't any elevators to get her to our seats but the ushers were very helpful in directing us and having the wheelchair ready during intermission as well as after the show. It is such a beautiful theatre and so great to see a show there!

Beautiful theatre. Just recently saw Hamilton and was pleasantly surprised at how well you could see from the seats that we had (p108). The only problem you may have is if you are short or if the person in front is tall. This will affect up your line of site and may require you to constantly adjust to the head in front of you. They do offer booster seats and booster cushions, which may affect the person behind you. Outside of that, great show and theatre!

Since it was a hot day, we didn't bring inside any sweaters and we were FREEZING! (I normally run warm.)So bring a sweater or light jacket and enjoy this magnificent performance! You won't be sorry! 🥰👍💜💙❤👍🥰
The Pantages is a great venue to see a play. I recommend parking at the lot on Vine St. just south of Selma Avenue. Don't prepay for parking online or you'll get screwed over. I prepaid $10 for parking at the Sunset Media Center garage only to find out that the gate never even opened. Got screwed out of $10!

I saw the Lion King show here a few years ago and it was awesome!The ornate exterior is one thing, tho the interior is exquisite elegance!The acoustics were excellent, the visuals with the lighting was perfect and the seating was clean and comfortable.This legendary theater must be among the best places anywhere to see a Broadway Theater stage show!Since this theater’s by the famous intersection of Hollywood and Vine, it’s also included as an historic place to point out on my group tours.Due to the pandemic hiatus, I’ve not been touring here lately, so it was nice to stop by, peer thru to the front and see this grand old place, still up and running with upcoming shows!Parking is to the rear of the building as well as off of Vine Street.

I love this theater, it's so darn pretty. Getting to it is a nightmare but with the parking structure that opened up in the mall across from it, parking is super easy and that's a plus. If you have tickets for a show, they will park you in VIP so it's easy and quick to get to the theater and back on the structure. I really love that. The theater is an icon, it's ceilings and art deco decor are just beautiful. It's not too big, so any seat is a pretty good seat, though I prefer 1st row center in the mezzanine. Best seats as far as I'm concerned. Food and drink is as expected, expensive and not great but there are plenty of great places to eat around the Theatre that make making a day out of it worth it - though it's not in the best part of town, so don't drop your guard just because it's touristy and if you're taking kids, get a feel for the area first. It's not horrible, please don't get me wrong, but it is a VERY, VERY busy area and not all of it is child appropriate. The Pantages is a must-go for any theater fan, so GO! And enjoy!
In a day when the world turned upside down, Hollywood Pantages continued to reach out to season ticket holders and fight to keep theatre alive. It would...
