Tim Robbins is on the Board of Directors and even directs and acts in some of the performances. They have a large range of shows there, from serious drama, comedy and other things. We were lucky enough to see "Shambles." It was a sort of holiday free for all and some of the best acting and performing I have ever seen. It has a loose story, but you will not care. You see, a cat named Musk comes to take over the earth and all the planets and have people perform for him. Maybe it is a dream, but we don't care. There are songs, tap dancing, a great band, amazing singers and performers, there are acrobats and jugglers and it had special guests every night. It was simply amazing. The staff is so kind and sweet, all performers I think and this night there was even free pizza and meet the characters after the show. My grandson is on the Spectrum and very shy. This is the first after party he has ever agreed to attend. That is not my great skills, but that of the staff and performers, who could see right away he was different and approached carefully, as if they had been trained. By the end of the party he was talking to people, giving hugs and telling them how much he loved the show. He just does not do this, but he did this night. He was so happy. The theater is build in an old sub station for trains we had in LA for years, before I was born and I am old. It was going to be torn down, but it was saved. The Actor's Gang redid all of it and it looks like it did in its hay day. It also has a big park right outside. It is a small theater and there is not a bad seat in the house. The seat rows are not flat but each up a stair so no one has to worry about the women with the wrong hat on or someone taller than anyone you have ever seen. This is a not for profit and they make sure all can come. I love this place and will be back again and again.

It has been a long time since I have laughed to the point that my face hurts, but these folks managed it. Except that joke about the pandas. I did not care for that. Also, afterwards, there super awesome band hosts live band karaoke. There's a large selection and they take requests for future performances. If you haven't seen them yet, shame on you.

The play was amazing, and I'd highly recommend seeing it if you get the opportunity. Big thanks to Michael K. for alerting us to the show, which we otherwise wouldn't have known about. Parking was easy and cheap, $5 for a matinee show (apparently $8 for evening). We cut it close and arrived just a few minutes before the 2:00 start time, but we were apparently in good company and got to our seats well before curtain. We were stopped just outside the theater by a group of IATSE protestors, who handed out flyers asking patrons to pressure management to give the Wallis crew a fair contract. According to this flyer (and I can't find anything else about this online), the Wallis has been bargaining with the union for six months and pays crew below standard wages for Los Angeles County. If anyone at Wallis is reading this Yelp review, consider it my email in support of the union. You're a theater named for a billionaire heiress. Pay your people. The theater was nice and the production was fantastic. Our seats were in the mezzanine, and we had a great view of the stage. Loved the set design, which involved a single classroom structure on a rotating platform. The performances were amazing, as was everything else that went into the production. I hope the Wallis does right by its crew so they can keep putting on top notch theater. I get their emails now and have not yet unsubscribed, as I'd like to know what other shows they have in the pipeline.

From the gorgeous costumes to the seamless scene transitions, every detail was beautifully executed. The set design and overall production quality were truly spectacular, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. The sound quality was excellent. I could clearly understand everything the actors were saying, even from my seat in the back of the Orchestra section. The live orchestra was phenomenal--the music was absolutely beautiful and added so much emotion and energy to the performance. The theater itself is gorgeous. During intermission, I walked upstairs to take in the entire space, and I was in awe of how beautiful and grand the venue is. It's worth taking a few minutes to explore and appreciate the architecture. I sat in the Orchestra section, Section ZZ, right by the aisle. While the seats were still enjoyable, my view was partially obstructed by the overhang from the upper level. There was also a scene involving the iconic chandelier where I wished I had been seated a bit closer so I could fully appreciate the effect and see more of the theater from that perspective. Intermission was about 20 minutes long, which gave everyone enough time to stretch, explore the theater, and grab refreshments. They offer a full bar, wine, snacks like candy and pretzels, and souvenirs are also available for purchase during intermission. One tip: as soon as intermission begins, head straight to the women's restroom. I was able to get there right away and was first in line. Within minutes, the line became incredibly long! The employees were also incredibly friendly and professional. They did a great job ensuring guests stayed off their phones so the bright screens wouldn't distract others during the performance. I also appreciated that once the show started, late seating was held for approximately the first 10 minutes to minimize disruptions. After that, guests were allowed to enter and exit as needed. Even with the partially obstructed view, the performance was so incredible that it didn't take away from the overall experience. If you're planning to attend, I would recommend sitting a little closer if your budget allows. Regardless, it's an unforgettable experience, and I can't wait to return to the Hollywood Pantages for another show.

I'm all for you doing you, but I don't want to share a public bathroom with a male. Just as I don't want to share gender specific sports. This isn't a club or bar... this is an elegant setting. There's a big difference. Otherwise, the show was great!

It doesn't even matter if you are a fan of the Muppets cause this show has it all. It's VERY adult so beware. It's an improv show for adults run by puppeteers. They take suggestions of ideas from the audience and nothing is off the table. Not only do you get to watch puppets do improv but you get to see how they do it as well. It's really cool and a ton of fun! If you're not laughing hysterically from this show then you probably have no sense of humor. I recommend splurging and purchasing the VIP experience tickets since it gives you exposure to the puppeteers before the show and you get to see (up close) famous artifacts/puppets from various Henson productions.....not to mention a Q&A with Brian Henson himself! Trust me when I say this is such a special experience and shouldn't be missed! I will DEFINITELY go back since no two shows are the same.

Neither the audience nor the performers held back making for a raucous and wild evening of laughter. I highly recommend and can't wait to return.
