Heading to LA in March- what are the must see shows?
....or theaters to check out.
I'm familiar with a The Geffen, Pantages, and Ahmanson- and that's about it.

Posted: 2/22/14 at 4:33pmThat's a good start. All of those are worth checking out. I'd add the other two Center Theater Group theaters as well, the Mark Taper Forum and the Kirk Douglas. I would also add the Pasadena Playhouse, the Odyssey Theater Ensemble which puts on some great shows and see what's playing at the La Mirada Theater, 20 miles south of L.A. as well. If you are in Orange County, check out South Coast Rep. Check what Goldstar is selling as well. Some small theaters may have something interesting going on.

These are all good resources for theatre:

In case you're interested in other cultural activities:
Tchaikovskyfest will be in full swing at Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown. LA Phil is one of the greatest orchestras in the country and seeing Gustavo Dudamel conduct is a treat:

LA Opera (also downtown and in the same Music Center complex as the Ahmanson and Mark Taper Forum) has a new production of Lucia di Lammermoor and what I hear is a very strong Billy Bud (if you're into Britten and lots of shirtless men at sea):

And the best museums in LA are LACMA (MidWilshire/Miracle Mile/Beverly Hills adjacent), MOCA (downtown), The Getty (West Side):

Besides Goldstar for discount Tickets--Check Plays411. They offer lots of half-price and sometimes Free Tickets to Productions in the LA Area.
