Been to Mama Mia with friends last week. Given that events like these easily add up to $200pP (tickets, parking, a drink, no food) for mediocre seats, I was a bit put off by the poor sound.Venue, Ambiance and drink quality and service was as one would expect, but the sound was disappointing - we have seen better in this very venue.

There's never a dull moment in DTLA since there are so many venues to go to. The theater district has a lot to offer. We had seats for Paranormal Activities way up on top at a bargain price of 15 bucks each but you don't get to see the stage that well from the multi level seating. The venue was packed and everyone seemed to enjoy the play and the ambiance.

Long-standing performing arts center in DTLA. Came here most recently to watch Peter Pan: The Play that Goes Wrong and we had a good time. There’s paid garage parking available. Street parking is on the difficult side but there’s limited metered parking spots available if you’re willing to walk. There’s plenty of restaurants in the nearby area and it’s a big theater, but you can still feel really immersed in the show. Plenty of restrooms are available for during intermission. We’ve always had a good time at this venue and I would highly recommend watching a show here if given an opportunity.

I came to the Ahmanson to see Come From Away, which was terrific. The auditorium isn't huge, and both the view and sound from the balcony was fine. Although it's more than 50 years old, the venue is in great shape, and it's very easy to navigate. The plaza outside is also a nice place to hang out before or after the show.

Back again, post pandemic, seeing how it feels to go to live theater again and sit next to a stranger (still masked). This is probably your best shot in LA for Broadway style theater, often with members of the original Broadway cast. It's in the Music Center complex, easy to find, underground parking, with Metro Rail nearby. On this occasion I came to see The Lehman Trilogy. this is the first tour of this play off of Broadway. Not very satisfied with the script. My understanding was that the original detail was about 5 hours, but cut for Broadway to over 3. So the end is muddled and the beginning far too long and culturally obsessive. Anyway, the three principal actors, playing varying roles, did justice to their parts. If you enjoy Broadway events but are in LA, give this venue a try. Attendance still isn't back to normal and last minute seats won't cost you much. Box office people are very friendly. You should call before if you have questions prior to your arrival.
