First off I do apologize for the pain my voice brings to your ears, yes I know I sound like poop…read morelol. Plan parking in advance!!! VINCENT MASON WAS THE BEST PART OF THE WHOLE CONCERT! I bought my tickets for this concert on 12/25/25 because I really needed VINCENT MASON WAITING ON YOU TO WEAR OFF. Unfortunately he didn't play that song on 06/19/26. I got the tickets for ME and I was going to take my son to his first concert and my brother who loves Parker. Unfortunately my bro wasn't able to attend due to work responsibilities, so I took my nephew, it was also his first concert as well. After a long deployment my Navy Baby surprised me with a visit and I was able to get her a ticket days before the concert seated next to us! I've been to the Greek Theater in Brekley and I was expecting the same sound, but this place needs an upgrade . I rate this 5 stars simply because of the experience, the memories that were made and because I got to take my babies plus VINCENT MASON!!! I starved so I couldn't rate the food, but it did look good. The service for the big ballers looked excellent, enjoying the show never leaving your seats that's awesome. I needed to dance so I moved out of my seat and my beautiful company followed. Security didn't give us a hard time because we were out of the way. Again I apologize for the horrible pitch in my voice. I'm only posting the videos that weren't going to make your ears bleed. Will I go back HELL YES! This place is right next to the Observatory, which btw if you never been you should. It's located in a beautiful neighborhood and make sure you bring a jacket or blanket because it does get cold even in the summer.

Why only four stars? Well, basically parking. If you live far enough away that you have to drive,…read moreparking / traffic will be an issue. Pre-purchasing parking is strongly suggested. They also have ride share locations if you are okay waiting both coming and going. For those with deep pockets, Quick Park parking (~$125) uses the middle lane and the lane directly to the right of it on Vermont, leaving only the far right lane open for traffic to exit. But, if it is in your budget, it's totally worth it. Getting there early helps (at least 90 minutes before the show) if you are not paying for the high priced option. Even if you paid for Quick Park, getting there early is highly recommended. When you Quick Park, make sure you leave enough room to escape without needing the car in front of you to show up. Otherwise you could be there for a long time after the concert is over. Plus, you can sit in your vehicle before the show waiting for the lines to get in to empty out. Outdoor concerts are great and this is a great venue (again, less the parking issues). Prices are 2026 LA prices, two bourbon & ginger ale drinks and one glass of wine was just over $70 before tip. Sound quality is also great. Seating is normal except for the numbering. When you buy two tickets together, they won't be 5 & 6, they will be 5 & 7, or 6 & 8. This fools some people and they wind up with seats in different sections. Harder to make the mistake now as they let you pick your ticket virtually on their map. Buying from scalpers / resellers, might mess you up. Definitely a great place to see at least one show. We had a great time at the last show. Enjoy!

The Ford may be to The Bowl as a quickie in the elevator is to a rose-petal trail to a big…read morehoneymoon suite bed. 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.

Sometimes, I forget how much entertainment is available in LA, from theaters to museums to outdoor…read moreexcursions and more. I had previously seen advertisements for The Ford LA through various outlets, but I am frequently reminded of my introversion and often avoid driving through LA traffic. However, my wife wanted to check out the The Natural World of Studio Ghibli, and what a night it was! We have seen nearly all of Miyazaki's creations, but this was our first time watching "Howl's Moving Castle" in an outdoor theater. It was lovely! Fresh air, a few butterflies flying across the projector, stars in the night sky, and the iconic backdrop were some highlights to mention. The Ford is as fun as advertised, and I've already begun recommending it to my friends. This place has history, and you can feel it! Additionally, there isn't a bad seat in the house! We sat in Row P, and when I arrived, I took it all in. There's certainly a bit of magic here. The only negative is the parking. It's stacked parking, so you may end up waiting on other visitors to get to their cars before you can even think about moving. Otherwise, we already have plans to return to The Ford Theater!

I just saw The Phantom of the Opera at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre, and wow--I was absolutely…read moreblown away. The entire production was stunning. 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, on the far left end. 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 recently just watched a musical here at the Ahmanson Theatre here in Los Angeles…read more I've been here once before many years ago to watch Mary Poppins. I don't live too far away from here but it's always a trek coming down to downtown LA. And the tickets I received is said to park in the music center garage. Parking was $10 and really efficient. It took a while to get our bearings to find out where we could park and what was available. And at the very end, it was actually pretty efficient to get out of there as well. We're on level P6 and we were directed to go down towards the lower level and everything was very efficient to then come back up to the surface.. It's a beautiful venue. It's not huge, but they're able to make great use of the space. We sat in the balcony and got a great view and we were able to see everything fairly well. There are lots of concession stands throughout and you're even able to pre-order drinks and snacks and beverages for the intermission. Overall, it's a great venue, it's even closer to me than the Pantages, where they have a lot of other musicals as well. We caught a great show here too. This is definitely a hidden gem that I'll be excited to come back to again in the future when there are future events. Everything is so well organized and it was a great experience.

Most of the seats have a decent view of the stage, although the seats are pretty narrow so you're almost elbow to elbow with the person sitting next to you. It does get a little warm in the theatre too and I wish they'd lower the temperature of the AC a couple of degrees. Parking is usually pretty easy at the music centre garage for $10 but do arrive early as the line to get into the garage can get backed up.

Indy Shakes does an incredible job making the stories relatable, easy to follow, and enjoyable. Currently playing Love's Labour's Lost - which was absolutely comedic and so well done. The actors are incredible! The interactions off stage are also fun to watch. We are actually planning to see them in December as well at their theater. Please go see them! Support the arts and make donations!! Take cash, buy their merch, you can even use the QR code to donate. Free Shakespeare at the Park can only stay alive if we continue to support. And truly, they deserve all the donations, praise, and support because what they do is incredible, especially for those who have never been exposed to theater growing up.

The temporary remodeling space is absolutely covered with ants, bugs, flies, mosquitos and more. Wasps and more. They will come for your food, and everything. The temporary stage is a much further walk without lights either and the stage is very small and 360 vs the larger space that is front facing. Once sunset passes though the majority of bugs do go away which is good. I believe the 2026 season the main stage will be back and the bugs will be gone! The parking, crowd, cast always wonderful!
