The Pantages Theatre

My husband and his post a few weeks ago, discussed the Pantages Theatre itself, but I just showed you the outside of the theatre, on my posts. I thought since I have a few photos, I would show off the inside....but first off, the outside under the overhang.

We waited for the doors to open here. As you can see, old style ceiling above us and shots of the performance, on the wall. I still had problems with those show photos, since I had NO IDEA about the play itself.
Interesting anyway.

This is just outside the overhang, on the street.

Stephen Schwartz, who wrote Wicked, got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in April of 2008.

I was totally unaware of the fact that it is right out front of the Pantages!

Perfect placement.

I heartily approve.

When you get into those first doors, this is the area you are in. There are doorways to the lower level and two staircases up to the balcony area, which is where I am, when I took this photo. The landing in the middle. Look straight across the photo and you see the other stair, with people climbing up. On the left are the doors to the street and on the right (behind the kiosks selling tee shirts and stuff, are the doors to the performance area. I love the look of the place, but as is the way with all these wonderful spaces, we were not able to take photos from our seats! A real shame, the place is gorgeous!

I hope this gives you the feeling you would get, if you visited to the Pantages. I happened to find Defying Gravity performed for The Tony Awards. If interested, check it out HERE.
