Just in case I forget to say thank you to the home of the Oscars , thank you to the Dolby Theatre for a star studded, enchanting evening for this little girl from red dirt to red carpet ... Thank you...

The acoustics . The former Dorothy Chandler Pavilion/ Kodak theater is now the Dolby. It's the best musical venue for individual performers in Los Angeles.

Be certain to check with the operations staff . I had a wonderful time at Andrea Boccelli - but, it was a live "taping" of a TV special at PREMIUM PRICES. See booms.

Formerly Kodak Theatre is now Dolby Theatre; home to Academy Awards ever since year 2002. If you're in LA and a fan of The Oscars/film industry history, take the tour to this iconic theatre

Gautham B

Take the guided tour . Its worth it. The guides are great and if you're a film buff, you'll appreciate the info.

HISTORY

Opened in 2001, the theatre seats 3,401. The Grand Staircase is surrounded by columns displaying the names of Academy Award Best Picture winners with blank spaces left for future winners.

This theater is always a spectacular experience, it Hollywood, it's got style and elegance, the staff is amazing and the shows are top shelf .

Andi Fisher

Not your typical Monday - check out the silent disco , dj's , photo ops, and demos at the official unveiling of the Dolby Theatre on 6/11. Festivities go all day and the curtain drops at 6.

Another Success! I created this foursquare venue seconds after it was renamed the Dolby Theater and they took it over as the OFFICIAL VENUE! :)

Mingfei Yan

Great theater as the permanent home of academy awards. Happy that we hold an event here.

Marine Corps

Two Academy Awards, three Golden Globes, two BAFTA’s, and a United States Marine? Yes, legendary actor Gene Hackman served for more than four years as a field radio operator in the USMC.

Erik Rowley

Also known as Meryl Streep's trophy chamber. It was cool peering in through the doors, now I know how Steve Buscemi and Gary Oldman feel.

Meshari

You are in the place of the movie industry in the whole planet .. try to enjoy each and every minute you spend there.

Charles T Sebesta

One of the most beautiful theatre's I have ever visited ????

Agu Estrada

my LA friend had to point out that this is the location of the Grammy Awards. otherwise, i would have missed its significance.

Nick Lively

It's a shame the name changed, but it's still an incredible theater. You should definitely go to see Cirque du Soleil Iris

The Dolby Theatre is one of the first homes to the new, groundbreaking Dolby Atmos sound system - hear the whole picture.

Erik Rowley

Look closely at the pillars leading to the theater and you'll see the title of each best picture winner , on the backside are future dates.

Tessa Caetano

Great place to see shows and there's a great shopping area there too

Anastasia Krutova

Amazing. During the show I was seating with an open mouth, it was better than I could imagine !

People

Home to the Oscars (and American Idol!), this theater’s Grand Staircase bears the name of every Best Picture winner since the 1928 Academy Awards.

Regina Franchi

its a good intro to Cirque , but with the tiny space in the Kodak, its not nearly as impressive as some of the other shows. But since the Kodak IS tiny there isnt a bad seat in the house

Hemang

Beautiful theatre. Great 10 year history. Check out the best picture titles on the staircase. 2 hours free parking !

steve alsoknownas-P

Mezzanine or Orchestra seats were great...long lines for the bar during intermission...but you if you buy them there you can bring them in

Soul Train

The ultimate classic Hollywood experience. Check out the gallery of Oscar winners for Best Picture dating back to 1928.

Ayşın Akyarlı Savatlı

Known as kodak theatre, the name has changed last year... Nothing is so gorgeous about it, just an oscar tradition...

Victoria

Huge beautiful place to watch a movie .

Bernie Marinez

If you like the music of Danny Elfman, it's the cirque you want to see. It's great.

Tonio Baquiran

Nice to see Cirque not take itself so seriously. Best Cirque show I've seen to date.

Stopped right outside the grand theater exterior, but need to visit inside next time
