Description

The theater, which opened in 1926, is one of the classic movie palaces on Broadway in downtown Los Angeles. After a long restoration, the historic venue has returned to its vintage appearance, with a Beaux Arts facade and an in-house Wurlitzer organ. Such performers as the Marx Brothers, Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland and Stevie Wonder have appeared on its stage, and in more recent years it's hosted bands like HIM and television programs like America's Got Talent.

    Event Review: Tori Amos

    | Sun, December 18, 2011

    Tori dazzled the crowd as usual with her off the charts vocals. One thing that i was disappointed in was that the band was absent. She brought along a quartet that tried to fill in for drums, guitar, and electric bass. They did as much as they could, and actually were quite good, but the lack of impact from drums left a small void in my opinion. Tori is still a show to never miss and we will be there again tomorrow night! Another note, getting in and out was very easy and parking was only $4.. Sweet. And the orpheum was absolutely gorgeous.
