Wiltern Theatre


Adorned with colorful murals and ornate décor, one of the largest theater auditoriums in Los Angeles hosts all types of concerts and dramatic performances.

The Wiltern Theatre is an iconic establishment initially inaugurated in 1931. Housed in the art deco Pellissier Building tower, the auditorium is known for its majestic setting and opulent interior. Visit the Wiltern Theatre to watch a play or a concert in elegant surroundings that recall the splendor of the early 20th century.

Marvel at the light-blue art deco frontage of the Pellissier Building. Enter the complex and admire the various colorful murals and lively terrazzo. Notice the retro setting of the theater and gaze up at the red and golden patterns of the ceiling.

With a capacity of 1,850 seats, the Wiltern is one of the largest theaters in Los Angeles. Note that the seating capacity was once larger, before adjustments to the floor plan reduced its size. Choose a VIP seat for a place in the exclusive Wiltern Underground Lounge an hour before the show begins.

Get a standing ticket on the lower floor, where you can dance with friends and fellow spectators. The loge and mezzanine levels provide excellent views of the stage from above.

Purchase a cocktail or other beverage from one of the bars at the edges of the auditorium. Snacks, such as popcorn, burritos and pizzas, are also available. Attend a private ceremony or event in this impressive setting.

The box office opens every show night, 2 hours before the doors open. You can also purchase tickets from the Hollywood Palladium Box Office on Saturday afternoons.

Find the Wiltern Theatre in the Koreatown neighborhood on the western edge of Los Angeles. From the Downtown Los Angeles district, drive west for 4 miles (6 kilometers) to arrive here in about 20 minutes. Get VIP parking with a ticket to the Underground Lounge. Travel by metro to the Wilshire/Western stop right outside the complex.

While you’re in this part of the city, see nearby highlights, including Seoul International Park, the Ebell of Los Angeles and the Lafayette Recreation Center.
