8/16/26 Finally made it to the Live Taping of Nurse John Comedy show at the Alex Theater; Glendale,…read moreCa with life long friends (fellow nurse buddy Mai & Yelp friend, Allen P) It's a good venue, all the while an older theater due to its non ADA compliant status--no elevators, and I had to carefully drag my bulky & heavy medical boot up & down the stairs. Thankfully our tickets were upgraded to the orchestra section (we had the balcony initially. That was kind of the usher to accommodate us. My nurse buddies and I have been meaning to catch Nurse John's act for some time now and finally had the opportunity to see him in Glendale (not having to drive to San Diego or anywhere 2 hours away). I love that this venue is near many restaurants. It was a great show and we enjoyed it a lot. The seats are a bit dated but well maintained, The AC/temperature could've been cooler but it was fairly comfortable It was, after all, a packed house. There's street, valet & nearby parking structures available. Concession stands had beverages & popcorn for sale. The show was also selling T-shirts for $45 (Medicated, Caffeinated & Dehydrated and the other, Short Staffed, with Nurse John's image on the shirts) I would have probably purchased it if it were a different color, blue gray or maybe even white (if it was $30-35). All in all, a pretty good experience.

(Attended 07/31/26 FR @ 11:30am and many times before while growing up): It was a long journey that…read morebrought me back to the Alex Theatre! Growing up in the city and surrounding area, I saw countless films at the historic Alex Theatre, and later many stage performances, concerts, and revival films. I truly grew up in this theatre. Opened on September 04,1925 as the Alexander Theatre, it was initially a thriving Vaudeville house and movie palace. In the decades that followed, it attracted countless performances to the stage and screen across many entertainment genres. Early on, major Hollywood studios lined up their films and the most glamorous stars of the day here for previews. In 1940, the iconic marquee and 100ft-tall Art Deco neon tower with chasing color lights and sparkling spheres were added to the exterior while the theatre's name was officially shortened to "Alex". On September 26, 1991, a screening of "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" would be the last first-run screening of any film as the theatre ceased operations. Eventually, the venue would be used for live performances and revival showings. Fast-forward to July 17, 2026, the first-run screening of any motion picture in nearly 35 years occurred with "The Odyssey" in 70mm. Would this reconnection with the Alex Theatre prove to be a worthy voyage!? PURCHASE(S) "The Odyssey" 70mm Section Orchestra Seat U1 ($24.00): I was a fan of this story when I had to read it for school growing up (along with "The Illiad"), it really resonated with me, and I loved Greek mythology. I opted for a relaxing Friday morning viewing and a good reason to escape the sweltering heat and humidity outside. As for the film, this epic was as eye-popping as advertised, the cinematography was gorgeous, the acting was brilliant, and the pace was amazing as I never felt the weight of the movie's run time. I gave it two hands and feet up! Online Booking Fee ($3.00): Seemingly a BS charge born out of convenience and the opportunity to choose your own seat, I wasn't a fan of this one bit. Large Buttered Popcorn ($9.00): Buttery, fluffy, and fresh, this was one of life's simple pleasures, and the collective aroma was just addicting! Plus, this served as breakfast and lunch for me. Firestone Walker Brewing Co. 805 Blonde Golden Ale Beer 4.7% ABV 16floz Can ($9.00): Golden amber color, malty sweet aroma, light body, malty sweet flavor, crisp smooth finish, and malty sweet aftertaste. SERVICE I easily purchased my ticket online, I was able to select my seat, the friendly young man at the concessions quickly completed my drink and food order, a trio of jovial young women ushers checked my ticket outside the lobby area, and I casually found to my seat and settled in - easy-peasy! PARKING (Varied; FREE this instance): I literally parked blocks away because I didn't want to pay for it, and walked the nearly fifteen minutes to the theatre. All of the streets closest to the theatre were timed (2-hour limits), the surrounding lots charged (I didn't bother to check the rates), and there was a lot directly behind the theatre that possibly validated because I saw a machine in the lobby - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A beautifully-restored and maintained intimate single-screen theatre of a bygone era with its charming original ticket booth (I didn't believe it was still in use) that greeted you, an open opulent courtyard as you approached the decorative lobby with its two long staircases on each side, and finally inside the actual awe-inspiring theatre with slightly amphitheatre seating and a balcony. I counted three separate concession stands that all served the same things. Plenty of natural lighting came through the large opening that led into the lobby while electric ceiling lights filled in everywhere else. There weren't any TVs nor any background music, but there was plenty of chatter and general sounds all around. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I had an awesome time at The Alex Theatre, and I would definitely return for movies and more. The new sound system was incredible! Sure, getting to the venue could be heavily-trafficked because of downtown Glendale, the movie going and viewing experiences have drastically changed within the past several years, and the prices for both tickets and concessions (limited menu) were getting out of hand. So, this wasn't something I did on a regular basis. The customer service was easy, friendly, and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $47.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

How did I only just discover this theatre after all these years?…read more We just went to see The Eves which was a great scary (yes, it was, and I'm not easily scared) psychological ghost story for the Halloween season. Well acted and absorbing. Hannah Rubenstein was a real stand-out as Emily! Loved the little cozy upstairs theatre. Next week we will see Frankenstein Resurrection in the larger downstairs theatre in the round. I'm really looking forward to going back! They have a bar, complete with Halloween themed drinks for the season, snacks, and a lounge for pre-show mingling in this cool old building that according to the people who work here...is haunted! (Not that I'm a believer, but it's quite the fun Halloween experience to entertain the idea ;) Definitely check out this great little theatre and support your local arts!

First time I'm hearing of these vouchers to the museum. I noticed the "free entry to the Autry…read moreMuseum" is off the IG posts. Thank you. Community is important, but the topic is a deflection. What I know is I paid entry fees for a family of 5 to walk by the Autry, sit on grass, and eat from food trucks. The inflatables are pricey. As a Mom, I love love love taking my kids to events that are "fun" but also educational. Otherwise, I'm unsure why I'm paying for the privilege of sitting on grass, buying from food trucks, and paying for inflatables. Is it the...music/entertainment? Which isn't something my kids pay attention to. Maybe this is better for a date night or friend group. I'm unsure why you took offense to the 626 Night Market. Money hungry or not, I still got more bang for my buck. My kid became a human claw machine and got a cute stuffy for $10 - a little more than one descent down the Autry inflatable slide ($8). And there were so many food options. Maybe more kid friendly truck options or booths would help. The Autry's closure signifies a major change in your core market.

You also had to use there ATM that included a service fee to withdraw cash. Also, the lighting was not good when it got dark at the bounce houses.

With large signage as you enter, and they also advertise that on there social media and website. They also have lighting solutions for the bounce's houses too! Yelp reviews do make a difference! Be kind, and hopefully your review can help make change. Well done Odd Nights.

Currently, they are showing "Marital Blissters," an evening of three one-act comedies. The first was "cute" (a deliberately condescending term of my choosing), the second quite awful (too much screaming and over-acting), but the third actually good enough to redeem the experience. I know that the small theaters in this vicinity are meant to be historic, but the physical structure of this place seemed to be from the Ark. We are both small people, but we found the rows to be very cramped and the individual seats with minimal padding. Thank goodness for the 15-minute intermission to get the circulation flowing in the lower extremities! The Vagabond Players Theater Company solicited subscribers -- ranging from the "Cherub" level ($25 - $99) to the "Titan" tier ($5,000+). I'm wondering if any funds could be raised to refurbish the interior of the theater. The well-worn red velvet of the backs of the seats were very obviously mended with red strips of adhesive tape. How sad.

I arrived at Hyperion and Fountain and found myself lost. I was looking for a sign that said The…read moreCavern Theatre Club and thankfully my friend and I saw the sign for "The Golden Gays" - a play which, unlike, Shauna D., I loved - but yes, on to the theater. Being an LA girl and then abandoning it at the cost of new jobs and new opportunities, I surprisingly a bit lost and unfamiliar with the area. Since we were looking for this gay-themed performance, my assumption had to be the bright colored pink building. Yes, valet parking is available for a few dollars, but if I had read Shauna D.'s review, I would have preferred to park in the street. The entrance was confusing, as there were three doors when we parked our car at the valet. We had to ask, "Which way inside?" Our options were the backstage entrance, kitchen, or restaurant. Uh, restaurant. The venue itself is quite small. Lighting is poor, but the sound acoustics is fine. Cushions on wooden chairs were helpful for the cramped seating. Small round tables were available on each row to place your drinks (regardless of the sign that says no drink or food permitted in the theatre). Although I did not have a sip of a cocktail, I heard a few complaints about the drinks and saw a few untouched beverages left on the tables. I overheard one girl ask for a chocolate martini and the bartender did not understand the request. Hmmm... Although the introducing comedian joked about how, in case of emergency, we exit the way we came in, I did wonder whether there were more emergency exits in this cramped theater beneath a Mexican food restaurant. Oh, and the venue is not wheelchair friendly either. It was a decent venue for such a small play. Well ventilated, seated up to 50 people, a full house.
