The Wiltern Theatre first opened its doors to movie crowds on October 7th, 1931. Recognized by the City of Los Angeles as a Historic Cultural Monument, this Art Deco Landmark was renovated and restored to its original splendor in 1985, under the direction of Bill Graham Presents. Following a legendary history of performances and events, a $1.5 million facelift led to the Grand Re-Opening on October 15, 2002. Formerly an all-seated venue, the theatre had its 1,200-orchestra seats removed and now features a five-tiered floor that slants upward from the stage, thereby accommodating a standing-room-only configuration. The balcony still offers a thousand seats, and the flexible new arrangement allows for seats to be brought in for more intimate performances. The venue's new capacity is roughly 2,300, depending on how the floor is set up. In October 2003, The Wiltern and LG Electronics, a leading global consumer electronics company, celebrated the renaming of the theater. Currently known as The Wiltern LG, this venue sponsorship will offer concert-goers the opportunity to become acquainted with LG Electronics' line of well-designed, groundbreaking digital products. Formerly a great place to catch more sedate acts, the Wiltern's new design makes it one of “LA's coolest venues to check out performers of any type of music” says AOL’s City Guide. Join us for love, laughter and music!

Love to hear live music (hope we can do this again safely soon). This is a great place to enjoy for the evening. Can't believe I have not been here before this visit. Located in Koreatown (plenty of places to eat before the show), the Wiltern is easily accessible via public transportation. There is also nearby parking as well as underground parking and a section for ride dropoffs. The theater itself is one of those historic ornate theaters built in the early 30's - think Hollywood heyday. The seating capacity is about 2,000 (it can change depending on the event and whether there is all seating or a standing ga section). They host a lot of events and for those into music, have a good calendar each year. I went to see music (what else?) and had a great time. Getting into the venue was quick and easy j- typical checkin stuff. Once inside, had to check out the venue and the architecture of the building itself. On the ground floor, swag for sale and a bar that was just starting to fill up and clean stylish bathrooms. I headed upstairs to the loge section to find my seat. Bar and bathrooms upstairs as well. Settled into my seat, enjoyed my drink - mixed well and priced like a theater. I had a good view of stage and waited for the show to begin. Band on stage and the acoustics were perfect - the place was rocking. Seats were comfortable enough - had people around me that were into the show so that was good. Rocked for the next couple of hours and when we were let out into the cool (for LA) air, I was still buzzing. Getting out was easy as many doors were open (you know how sometimes there is 1 or 2 doors only?) Like I said, can't wait for this place to open back up.
