Center Theatre Group/Ahmanson is an Equity house. 

Non-equity tours never performed at the Ahmanson as part of its subscription.

The Ahmanson hasn't hosted a sit down since Phantom, right? Every sit down since utilized the now-leveled Shubert or the Pantages. Sigh.

There was "Miss Saigon" in the mid 1990s for 10-12 months.. Perhaps "Jersey Boys" and "Mary Poppins" enjoyed a 3-4 months at the Ahmanson.  For more accuracy and curiosity, you can look at the Center Theatre Group website at their past productions.  Cheers!

"Oh, Mary" - Los Angeles - tentative Fall 2026 or Winter 2027.  (yet confirmed)

Off topic:  Any recent news of revival of "The Who's Tommy" national tour?

As of November 5, there are plenty of tickets available for all 10 performances.  Unlikely sell to capacity.

Will this production transfer to Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles after its limited run at Lincoln Center? 

I intended to watch CABARET is a period piece.

The Emcee who scolded, yelled, and called the audience, "bitches" was out of context of the script, out of character, and simply out of touch. 

Stop improvising and stay with the script as intended.  This was NOT a reality show.  (In my honest & respectful comment)

Off-Topic:

I wish "The Phantom of the Opera" returns to the newly refurbished Majestic. 

Not as a revival, but in its original form. <--- Wishful Thinking.  Ha!

Will the National Tour stay as Equity after the Broadway engagement?  

There is a return Los Angeles engagement at the Pantages Theatre - March 10, 2026 - March 22, 2026. 

Tina Landau is not a good director.  "A Transparent Musical" (Mark Taper Forum, Los Angeles; 2023) was also directed by Landau.  That was another flop.

 

Los Angeles, California:

LOVE NEVER DIES, National Tour; Pantages Theatre, (April 2018).

Libretto was too "wordy", so I was lost in the plot.  I left in a daze at intermission.

OKLAHOMA!, National Tour, Ahmanson Theatre, (October 2022).

I walked out at intermission. Days later, I re-watched old versions on DVDs for my sanity's sake.

Center Theatre Group, Los Angeles:

• Fiasco Theater production of INTO THE WOODS; Ahmanson Theatre (May 2017).  

Low quality & low budget production.  Costumes were purchased from a thrift shop.  This production was revived to cash-in from the success of the film adaptation. I wanted to leave at intermission, but stayed to the end for salvation. I didn't find it.  Local high school and college productions were better.

I also received the e-mail from Broadway in Hollywood. 

Based on the hints, the National Tour of "Moulin Rouge!" returns to the Pantages Theatre (Los Angeles) in winter 2026. 

(Although, I may be wrong)

"Wicked" added 2 performances: January 22 (2 pm) & January 29 (2 pm). 


Center Theatre Group: Dark
Geffen Playhouse: Dark

 

 

Any promo codes or discounts (excluding TodayTix) for the Los Angeles performances at the Ahmanson Theatre?

As of May 24, Ben Platt's shows at the Palace looks 50% sold to capacity -- each show.

Off topic:

I saw him on tour in Las Vegas in Fall 2022.  He performed at The Theatre in Virgin Hotel. My casino host comped my tickets.  Concert was fine, but he could toned down his ego, in my opinion. 

 

For the National Tour of "& Juliet" there is 4 week gap between Portland and Costa Mesa. 

Perhaps those weeks will be for the Los Angeles engagement. 

Still unconfirmed as of late-April, so we shall see what happens.

Center Theatre Group/Los Angeles combines Ahmanson Theatre and Mark Taper Forum into one season.  The un-announced musical for summer 2025 will likely, "& Juliet" (National Tour).

Happy reading:

What are the statuses of "The Secret Garden" and "Transparent Musical"? 

Both performed at CTG/Los Angeles last year and flopped.
