Shows in Los Angeles

Dorothy Chandler Pavilion is the flagship venue of the Music Center — a magnificent 3,197-seat Los Angeles home of the Los Angeles Opera and Los Angeles Master Chorale that hosted the Academy Awards for 19 consecutive years. The Music Center campus's extraordinary civic ambition (created through Dorothy Chandler's legendary fundraising campaign in the 1960s) and the Chandler's consistent presentation of world-class opera and cultural events create Los Angeles's most prestigious performing arts experience.

Geffen Playhouse is Los Angeles's most prestigious regional theater — a Westwood institution presenting world-premiere productions and major revivals that regularly transfer to Broadway. LA's extraordinary concentration of theater talent (every major Hollywood actor started on stage) creates a theater community of exceptional depth, and the Geffen's consistent production of major new American plays makes it one of the most artistically important theaters in the United States.

Hollywood Bowl is the most iconic outdoor performance venue in America — a 17,500-capacity Hollywood Hills amphitheater where the Los Angeles Philharmonic presents summer concerts under the stars with an acoustic shell that has been the backdrop for some of the most famous concert performances in American music history. From the Beatles' 1964 performance to Judy Garland's legendary shows, the Hollywood Bowl captures the intersection of natural beauty, architectural elegance, and musical excellence.

Orpheum Theatre is one of the crown jewels of Los Angeles's extraordinary Broadway Corridor movie palace collection — a 2,200-seat 1926 French Baroque showroom whose extraordinary interior (chandeliers, gilded plasterwork, and a spectacular Wurlitzer organ) creates a theatrical experience of incomparable historic grandeur. DTLA's extraordinary collection of 1920s-1930s movie palaces (the largest such concentration in the world) and the Orpheum's consistent programming of concerts and Broadway shows make it one of the most important historic entertainment venues in America.

Pantages Theatre is Los Angeles's most magnificent historic theater — a stunning 2,703-seat 1930 Art Deco Hollywood Boulevard showroom where major Broadway touring productions have played since Howard Hughes staged the Academy Awards here in the late 1940s. Its extraordinary Art Deco interior design, its consistent presentation of major Broadway productions, and its Hollywood Boulevard location create a theatrical experience of unique Hollywood historical and architectural significance.
