Tim Robbins is on the Board of Directors and even directs and acts in some of the performances. They have a large range of shows there, from serious drama, comedy and other things. We were lucky enough to see "Shambles." It was a sort of holiday free for all and some of the best acting and performing I have ever seen. It has a loose story, but you will not care. You see, a cat named Musk comes to take over the earth and all the planets and have people perform for him. Maybe it is a dream, but we don't care. There are songs, tap dancing, a great band, amazing singers and performers, there are acrobats and jugglers and it had special guests every night. It was simply amazing. The staff is so kind and sweet, all performers I think and this night there was even free pizza and meet the characters after the show. My grandson is on the Spectrum and very shy. This is the first after party he has ever agreed to attend. That is not my great skills, but that of the staff and performers, who could see right away he was different and approached carefully, as if they had been trained. By the end of the party he was talking to people, giving hugs and telling them how much he loved the show. He just does not do this, but he did this night. He was so happy. The theater is build in an old sub station for trains we had in LA for years, before I was born and I am old. It was going to be torn down, but it was saved. The Actor's Gang redid all of it and it looks like it did in its hay day. It also has a big park right outside. It is a small theater and there is not a bad seat in the house. The seat rows are not flat but each up a stair so no one has to worry about the women with the wrong hat on or someone taller than anyone you have ever seen. This is a not for profit and they make sure all can come. I love this place and will be back again and again.

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.

Even after seeing it years ago in college, it still gave me goosebumps. The music, the emotion, the sheer brilliance of Andrew Lloyd Webber... timeless. As for the theater itself? Absolutely breathtaking. It's a beautifully preserved Art Deco masterpiece, and those magnificent chandeliers alone deserve a standing ovation. Every corner feels like a love letter to Hollywood's golden age. The gentleman behind us joked that the seats were "built for anorexics," and admittedly, they're cozy by today's standards. But then again, this theater was built in a different era, long before supersized everything! A little snug? Sure. Worth it? Without question. I'm grateful this architectural gem has been so lovingly maintained. The Pantages isn't just a theater--it's a piece of living history, and still one of the most stunning Art Deco venues I've ever had the pleasure of visiting. Bravo to everyone keeping this grand old lady shining.

WOW! What an experience! As someone who grew up with the Muppets and pretty much anything Henson…read morerelated, this show was right up my alley and VERY special! It doesn't even matter if you are a fan of the Muppets cause this show has it all. It's VERY adult so beware. It's an improv show for adults run by puppeteers. They take suggestions of ideas from the audience and nothing is off the table. Not only do you get to watch puppets do improv but you get to see how they do it as well. It's really cool and a ton of fun! If you're not laughing hysterically from this show then you probably have no sense of humor. I recommend splurging and purchasing the VIP experience tickets since it gives you exposure to the puppeteers before the show and you get to see (up close) famous artifacts/puppets from various Henson productions.....not to mention a Q&A with Brian Henson himself! Trust me when I say this is such a special experience and shouldn't be missed! I will DEFINITELY go back since no two shows are the same.

Neither the audience nor the performers held back making for a raucous and wild evening of laughter. I highly recommend and can't wait to return.

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?

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.
