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!

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.

To be totally honest - it should/could have been great - but it really was not!…read more The good things: The theatre itself is magnificent with a century old history. Ample nearby parking about one block away for $10. The line to buy soda and potato chips (by the men's room side upstairs) was short. But the line for alcohol and more food choices was so long (women's restroom side but looping around the place) that you couldn't even get close enough to see your options (25 minutes before the show). The bad things (really bad) unless you get a seat very close to the stage): From our seats ("front balcony" center row J - and there were about 500 people behind us!!) we were so far away that we could barely see a thing. Certainly you could see faces let alone expressions. And a magician that you can't see!? Really?? There are solutions for this - eg in Londons West End) there are binoculars for lease on every other seat. OR you can have cameras installed (Saban have) and then project on to the huge screen above the acts. In pics you can see that they have indeed done just that!! But not last night since the big screen just showed Netflix ad and charity logo. Very sad for the audience From our seats it was only possible to hear about 50% of the comedy routines - even with my AirPods at max volume - and Mrs G's hearing is perfect and she had the same experience. So yup it was kinda good, the theatre architecture great. Was it really good? No. Was it worth the price. No? Would we go again - only if we could seats VERY close to the stage or be assured that it will be projected on the big screen. Otherwise (sadly) no...

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).

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.

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 saw a man with swim trunks, a beer shirt, and running's shoes and then a girl with a crop top and athletic leggings and crocs. Then the bathrooms. They're always a mess at inter Mission but they need all-gender bathrooms. Just a few for those who identity as the opposite sex. 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!

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.
