Hi. I’m thinking of planning a trip to Los Angeles this summer and I was wondering when they usually announce which musical will be at the Hollywood Bowl? and when they usually play? I saw a few shows in the past have been the end of July; is this always the case?

Additionally - are tickets usually hard to come by? Does anyone know the average price?

I believe there will not be a stage musical this year. They have announced the season and this year it's a one-night-only Sondhiem celebration concert.

"The Bowl is forgoing its traditional staged musical in favor of additional offerings of music from the stage and screen including “Everybody Rise! A Sondheim Celebration,” featuring the iconic composer’s beloved songs performed by a variety of guest vocalists."

Thanks for the info! What a bummer - no musical. But would love to see one of the concerts there so may have to plan around one of those dates. Thanks again!

Their season this summer is kind of weak.  Lots of repeated old school acts that play the venue every other year.  And be very wary of the service charges.   Still.. a fun LA summer thing to do.
