Theater in LA — Page 4

I saw Guys and Dolls too. I think the show itself is good and if you have a great cast then it will be a fun night at the theatre. I think the best thing I've seen recently was "The Christians" at the Mark Taper Forum. I'm also seeing If/Then tomorrow and The Bridges of Madison County next week. Also playing in LA right now: Outside Mullingar (Geffen Playhouse) 4/5 and Straight White Men (Kirk Douglas Theatre) 2/5 (ratings are my opinion..)

I was at Guys and Dolls last night, too. I really enjoyed it, although complaints about OSF speeding up the tempo in Into the Woods also apply here. It didn't bother me too much, though. I thought the leads were all excellent, and the set was actually really cool. Except what was up with those miniature New York models they kept shuffling around? That was odd.

No idea about them , plus they are doing Good People as well, might have to see both .Thanks for pointing the theatre out .

I saw Dodgers and Tigers the Musical there (in two different theatres within the Hudson) and it's a good venue. Theatres are small, but seats are mostly comfortable and not too cramped.n

I am am wondering about the quality of their productions...

I've heard really good things about the West Coast premiere of THE BOY FROM OZ at Celebration Theatre! Will GREY GARDENS be open at the Ahmanson by then?

If you guys are from LA follow me on Instagram: @joselee_ i literally go to the theatre every single week and more. I've seen 9 shows just in this month of may. I post the playbill/program. I HIGHLY recommend La Cage Aux Folles at East West Players in downtown LA. It starts Jon Jon (the engineer from Miss Saigon Oliver nominee and playing the role on Broadway next year) it was AMAZING. going again on Thursday.

"BOY FROM OZ is extended into early July, and i believe, totally sold out for all dates."



They just announced an extension and tickets are currently available from July 6 - 17. If interested, better grab them quick as they won't be there long!

I think it just depends on the show. I've only ever done a lottery once, and that was for when Wicked was playing at the Pantages for a year. I don't think I've ever come across them anywhere else.

Or is there just a policy that applies to any of the shows? The Pantages website only has old info on their site regarding a Newsies lotto! Any other theaters with good lotteries?

TodayTix app has LA page and if a show has a digital lottery you can find it there.

• Ahmanson: transfer of Young Vic/Broadway Ivo van Hove-helmed A View from the Bridge by Arthur Miller, with Frederick Weller as Eddie Carbone.
• Taper: well-reviewed production of August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom directed by Phyllicia Rashad, starring Lillias White and Keith David.
• Geffen: Donald Margulies' The Model Apartment. Cast will probably be announced within the next week.
• Wallis: For the Record: Scorsese, a theatrical concert/ode to the filmmaker, featuring Carmen Cusack and John Lloyd Young.
• A Noise Within: Moliere's The Imaginary Invalid.
• Odyssey: Shelagh Delaney's A Taste of Honey.

A View from the Bridge was Amazing. Ma Rainey's Black Bottom is kind of boring but i appreciated the book. Heartbreak Hotel was so hyped up and it was boring.

Agreed, A View from the Bridge was SO GOOD. Great tour cast, and I'm so glad I scored the $25 on-stage seats early on. Incredible experience.

Has anyone seen 'All the Way' at South Coast Rep? I'm considering going because I missed it on Broadway... did it ever come to the LA area before this?

I am considering getting the stage seats for A View From a Bridge- Is it worth it? Can you see all parts of the play? Or do you miss out on parts?
