I describe it as fucking awesome. But perhaps you're looking for something more specific than that... Lost Moon Radio is set around Jupiter Jack who is a DJ floating in space. There are talk segments, songs, commercials, etc. They are presently on their 7th episode. If you're in the mood for a taste of what they have, you can check out their website. 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.

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!

Puppet Up! Uncensored, at the Ricardo Montalbán Theatre…read more This was my first time seeing Puppet Up, and I honestly didn't know what to expect beyond "improv" and "adults only, no holding back." What I didn't realize going in is that the puppeteers rotate, so literally no two shows are alike, and they build everything live off audience suggestions. I'm really glad Brian Henson is doing this. He's kind of on the cutting edge with this whole improv concept, who would've thought puppetry and unscripted adult comedy would work together this well. The cast wove in some classic material from the earliest Jim Henson days too, and that brought back so much of the whimsy and wonder the puppets are capable of. It felt thoughtful, like they genuinely wanted to honor where this all started, and they even said they felt honored that we were all enjoying it together. What really got me was realizing how much skill is hidden under the "make it look effortless" of it all. They pulled an audience member up for a crash course in puppeteering, just moving the mouth, basic mechanics, and it was clearly so much harder than it looks. That moment really drove home how much technical control these puppeteers have underneath all that improvised chaos. It's a lively, sixteen-and-over show, and that rating is earned, there's plenty of adult language and suggestive content. But if you go in ready for that, it's a genuinely magical, funny night.

Not necessarily easy to find at first but I'm glad I was aware then there were signs too. The theater is pretty small with three rows in front then sitting on both sides. Perhaps a capacity of 100? Very intimate. Not sure how the view is from the sides however. I loved the play. A series of 6 plays is around $235 which is very reasonable. I'll definitely come back! The restrooms are ancient with doors that are wayyy too small, but I guess it's common for a school? Briefly met the artistic director who is clearly passionate about his job and doing his best to keep this theatre alive. I loved that.

"Becky's New Car" had the best cast and everyone was a seasoned actor with a long list of previous plays and TV shows they've been in. There were parts I couldn't stop laughing, and enjoyed the play so much. I've invited 6 friends to return in July for their next one, which sounds even funnier. If my SUV could fit more people I would have asked more friends to join us. Parking was so easy, subterranean, safe and you walk right into the building from their underground garage. David the Managing Director was so personable and inviting, he seemed to know a lot of the attendees by name as regulars. I could hardly wait to see their next play, "A Jukebox for the Algonquin" and I have no doubt it too will be terrific! Great evening & a fun time.
