Today. we are here to see The Waiting, a workshop of a musical picked by ASCAP. This is one of three shows and this is the second show on May 12, 2026 Tuesday. The theaters are spacious. There was even a bar that's located in the foyer outside. We can mingle with our drinks and appetizers. Everything is reasonably located. Parking is available. I've never been to this location before I would love to see another show here.

We went to the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, also called the Wallis, to catch…read morethe Pulitzer-winning play "English" by Sanaz Toossi at the end of its run. 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.

Parking can be tricky, you can park in the garage next door for pay, or street parking for pay (depending on the hours of the day & day of the week), or you can park in neighborhood street parking (free) couple blocks away. The venue is close by market with food vendors or nearby restaurants and museum. Really enjoy every time I'm here seeing a play.

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...

"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.

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.

But they could use an upgrade to the seats, they're getting a bit outdated. I still highly recommend catching a show here and as many as you can in the city as it's a city of artists, musicians, actors, painters, you name it everyone comes to LA to break into some industry. A lot of local parking spots and good food spots. Personally, I wish they cleaned up the Blvd cause on a bad day it can still look as ugly as the 90's. But it's improving and getting slowly better. Make sure to check out a show here and when you walk into the lobby be sure to look up and all around!!! Exquisite!

I ended up at a matinee for Disney's Beauty and Beast so I was starving and of course I decided yea sure, the large wine was a good idea. Haha. Their snacks are basically the big chocolate chip cookie, which did save me and some nuts and candy. My friend who also came starving stole my cashews. Overall it was a great show. The bathroom situation looks out of control but the lines for the ladies moved fast, especially upstairs. I paid for parking in a lot across from the Capital Lot and it was a short walk down to Hollywood Blvd. It was super convenient not having to look for parking in Hollywood.

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.
