A hidden gem. Let's jump right into this review…read more The Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles is a renowned, non-profit theater known for intimate productions of classic and contemporary plays, new works, and educational programs. Two main spaces, the 500-seat Gil Cates Theater and the smaller Audrey Skirball-Kenis Theater. My son and I attended a play - Table 17 and sat in the balcony box of the Gil Cates Theater. Box seats $139pp Pros 1. Very nice venue. An intimate space with every seat being a good seat. Great acoustics also. 2. Bathrooms are clean and grounds are well-kept. 3. Small bar area that sells food items and drink, including alcohol. 4. Patio area and seating in the lobby if you arrive early. Doors usually open 1 hour before showtime. Theater doors open 30 minutes before curtain time. Cons 1. Parking can be a challenge but not impossible. Metered street parking. Use the text to pay function because you can add additional time from your phone and receive reminders via text when your time is about to expire. There are also paid parking lots within walking distance. Prices will vary. I was impressed with Geffen Playhouse and will definitely be back. BTW - Table 17 was an amazing play - funny, thought provoking, and an attention grabber.

It is a big theater, nice, clean, luxurious. Great projection here, decent ticket prices. We came to many nice screenings here, saw George Romero speaking, Ellen Burstyn, William Friedkin. Collin Farrell just passed by me once, my husband was getting a bit concerned since I have a crush on him. But it was all fun and good. I know they will have a few more screenings soon and I hope they will continue to do so in the future. Parking around, never had an issue, decent restrooms. I have been to the new Academy Museum but I prefer this location! It's more old Hollywood glam!

Yesterday we watched a concert with co- workers, immediately I got the cringe feeling because they…read moredidn't check our bags, no metal detectors & saw someone brought in a bottled water. On top of this we witnessed two people who slipped on the floor at the bottom of the left side stairs. It included our co-worker, she said she missed one step & slipped. It could have been prevented if there's a better marker or lighting in the vicinity of the stairs. Overall the concert was good, but maybe better security & also a better safety measure around the stairs area or add more restroom downstairs.

The Saban Theater in Beverly Hills is just beautiful. It is all fully redone art deco and a Los…read moreAngeles landmark. It was formerly known as the Fox Wilshire Theater. It is a great place to see a concert, play or talk. It has a diverse set of acts. The prices are reasonable and there are few bad seats in the house. It is the same size as an older movie theater. Parking is on the street by meter or in a lot down the street for a fee. The staff is great and will help you with seating or whatever you need. The sound system is very good for all types of entertainment. The outside is also stunning. It is all blue, gold and white deco and you can imagine the people that used to dress up to go there. There is just not a thing I don't love about it.

Came to a matinee play. Parking was plentiful (& free) on a Sunday. The venue itself is small and…read morethe seats weren't comfy at all nor much seat space. Any view is good in the house. An older crowd that appeared to be pretty snobby (older lady Just stared straight at us so I kindly obliged until she finally looked away). Staff member was kind of eccentric and I believe he was trying to be humorous but came across rather odd and condescending to us. Not sure I'll be back for another production.

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.

Fabulous, hysterical, already ordered tickets for their next show, and well worth the ride from…read moreOrange County!!! "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.

As we walked on Hollywood Boulevard one couldn't help but be excited as you see the towering "Pantages" sign on the building! In the box office area there was a step and repeat that was packed with people taking photos. They were taking pictures of Alicia Keyes herself! I snapped a quick photo before the staff rushed us away and encouraged us to go in to get our seats. Inside of the lobby I was in love with the architecture. The sweeping staircases, plush rugs and the intricate detailing on the walls. There's even a merchandise area with friendly and knowledgeable staff. The theatre is grandiose and so lovely. I can feel the creativity and the love for entertainment in the air. The stage was huge and the performances were great! Cannot wait to come back for other shows!

Their 2025-2026 lineup was very strong and this coming season is looking very promising too. The theatre is a Los Angeles icon so not very modern amenities, but everything is kept in very good condition. We have seats on the first row in the Mezzanine section and it is great! There are only one bathroom for men & women on the 2nd level, but the attendants work them with precision and the line moves quickly. Overall the staff knows how to handle so many people with ease. For an 8pm show we get dinner at a restaurant nearby at 6:15pm then stroll in at 7:50pm with tickets in our app and head straight to our seats. No waiting in lines!

Just a wonderful in every way if you love theater and are young. I am a parent as you've probably…read moreguessed but I'll leave a longer review later but don't even think about another place. Not that's it's the reason but even the networking for your child if that's something he or she cares about (it is Holly) is amazing and everyone from then staff to the parent to of course the kiddos. THEY HAVE MASTERED, splitting people up. It is in fast, as it should be a meritocracy. As your skills ascend, so will your roles. That said, they do manage to get everyone a something to focus on. I love this place and wish I could go back in time but instead will live vicariously will do it for me and believe me, she wants to! Thank you YADA. You have brought joy to our whole family and while that sounds over the top, it's not even near it. Greatest thing we've got Alexandra maybe since she was born.
