But they could use an upgrade to the seats, they're getting a bit outdated.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.

The "Cinderella" of venues, it takes the grand, outdoor setting of the Bowl (concrete Jerusalem gates carved into the Hollywood hills) and the intimacy of a backyard party. With 1200 seats (opposed to 17500), you're always under 100 feet from the stage. The seats being steeply raked means you are closer to the stage than the Greek. (The Theater, I mean, not loud, hairy Niko guy next to you). And being tucked into a natural canyon makes the acoustics extra crispy, which made Erasure (10 years ago today) one of my favorite concerts. Side note: I found the 3 tickets on ebay for 99 cents, something that pissed off the guy next to me who paid $200. He Loved to Hate Me. He called me "Biggie Fries" all night, referencing Wendy's Value Meal. Built in 1920 by Christine Wetherill Stevenson, a wealthy heiress who wanted to build a space for her play about he life of Christ "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Calvary". No, it was "Pilgrimage Play" It burnt down in 1929 but rebuilt in 1931 to look like stone, making it feel like an ancient, rediscovered space. Anyway, it only hosted Christ plays (I would have called it "Nailed iT!") until the 1964 separation of church and state opened the venue to all arts. It was named after the county supervisor John Anson Ford, who was a champion of the arts. In the late 80's it was the "West Coast CBGB", hosting Ramones, Social D, X, Chili Peppers and Jane's Addiction. If you need more bands, just use your first three Wordle guesses: Tacos Marry Happy opened for Radio Caulk Barfy. It unveiled a $80 million renovation in 2017, so if it was gorgeous in 2006, I am sure it is Gorgeouser now. In 2019, the LA Phil took over, so now it is the little sister of the Bowl and Disney Concert Hall. In 2020, it had its centennial, marking 100 years since Stevenson first staged a Christ play in that canyon. To celebrate, the partygoers turned wine into pee.

This review is for the show, rather than the venue, which I'll do a separate review for. I purchased VIP tickets for the Fever-run event as a Christmas gift for my significant other, and we both loved it! It was hilarious, and tastefully sexy! The different acts featured a variety of music genres, so there's something for everyone's taste! The show was about 2 hours in length with a 15 minute intermission between the first and second half of the show. VIP tickets got us VIP entry, 2 champagne or other sparkling beverages, and a t-shirt each (our selections are pictured! Also definitely recommend picking these up at the beginning to avoid long lines at the end!) Per google reviews of the show, lines were long for drinks, and merchandise, so to save time, we redeemed both our drinks at the beginning of the show. They also offered a QR code, order ahead option, for merchandise. Neither myself nor my significant other had ever been to a burlesque show before, and this was certainly a fun, and worthwhile, introduction! Tip: there is a 24 hour parking garage adjacent to the Montalban with a max $10 fee for the day!

Classes consist of a warm-up, technique and a cool-down. There are often handouts with tips on makeup, performance preparation and choreography.

I highly recommend their classes for anyone interested in finding out more about burlesque.

Once I was healed, I registered for a class, and the class was where I learned the hard way this isn't something I can do. I have a learning disability (diagnosed when I was young) and between that and some OCD, when I went to class I was focusing as much as I could on everything the man teaching it had to say, but because of my issues and trying to keep up with it I eventually started feeling light headed and dizzy, which can happen to me in circumstances like this. I did the best I could to absorb as much info as I could but it moved too fast for me to, and consequentially I flubbed the proceeding group exercises badly and it was clear the rest of the class was on the same page and because of my issues I was not and I could bring them down a bit. So I knew pretty quickly that this wasn't a good idea and I wouldn't be able to fully excel in it, and then I emailed the admin email for UCB explaining this and seeing about a possible partial refund and they left it on read without responding which means they'll keep my $525 because they can. I already know what their first response to this will be- that terms were made clear in the beginning there are no refunds so I admit that I am acting like I should be an exception here (maybe, maybe not) but I just want this to reach some people thinking of enrolling to know that if things don't work out for some reason, you will indeed walk away without getting your money back so keep that in mind.

I would always see those lamps in the air moving on social media and it was so cool to see in person, a simple touch like that could add some fun to the experience. The parking lot nearby was really accessible and for the venue. Parking was really cheap and a 10 second walk to Sound. Going into the venue was also easy and felt safe in that area compared to the main street. Among walking in is a bar, restroom and merch table. Drinks are hella expensive. Venue is pretty small but intimate and you can see the artist well. There are tables on the right side and railing on the left for you to stand. The sound was great and listened to Twin Diplomacy absolutely rip. Would definitely come back.
