Took my daughter and granddaughters to see the Lion King. This was their first visit and my who knows how many visits. I loved their delighted reaction when we walked in, you never forget your first view of the interior of the Pantages! Hollywood glory at its finest, over the top, golden fantasy of Regency deliciousness at its very best! The show was amazing, the girls loved it. The staff were helpful and so nice with the hard parts of their job with the public. They have to look through purses and carry in’s and some people were not nice to them but they carried on to the next person with a welcome and a smile! Big kudos to them for their amazing attitudes. Can’t wait until the next time!!

We saw Six: The Musical. Balcony about 5 rows back. The show was great. The theater better! What a show palace. Be warned, however, the area around the theater is the pits. No where to eat dinner either. Back to the theater - the place is a masterpiece of Art Deco décor.

The Pantages theatre is a beautiful venue! Its right in the middle of all the action on Hollywood/Vine/Argyle. We sat in the mezzanine and felt that it was still a great view. The place is aesthetically pleasing filled with art-deco everywhere. They have ample bathrooms located in various areas for your convenience, The ushers that we came across and asked questions were very friendly. Before the show, we were reminded not to use any phones/video which was reassuring. We're here to watch a performance not people holding up their phones. As for parking, we chose to park in the Pantages theatre garage up the street, Yucca/Vine. We paid for it online and it was a short walk down Argyle street and you're at the theatre. We printed our parking receipt and showed the attendant, easy peasy. We chose the 2pm showing and we were allowed to park from 12pm -6pm. Depending on what time you leave the show, you may have to wait to leave the garage. We left right after the show, walked to the garage and got out in about 10 minutes because of the line to get out, no biggy. Additionally, the garage has tandem parking BUT you don't have to wait for the owners of the car behind you to leave. The attendant keeps the keys of the car behind you so they can move it if you arrive before the owner of that car. We didn't have to tell the attendant because he saw us right when we got in the garage. He kindly moved the car behind us and we were out of there. Overall, great experience and will definitely come back.
