After several touch-ups over the years, the Hollywood Boulevard showplace was renovated at the turn of the 21st century to recapture its 1930 look and luxury. While the use of the Hollywood Pantages Theatre may have changed over the years, the theatre does not appear all that different today. In the past, it has been a movie house, with live vaudeville acts between features as well as the site of many gala premieres and 'spectaculars.' For ten years the Hollywood Pantages Theatre was the home of the glittering Academy Awards Presentations. These days it's one of Los Angeles' leading homes of legitimate theatre (the five highest-grossing weeks in L.A.'s theatrical history were all shows at the Pantages) and a favorite 'location' for tv shows, movies and music videos.

The Hollywood Pantages has a history as grand and diverse as the stage and screen fare which audiences have flocked to enjoy there for half a century. It's a fitting location: The Pantages has become one of the greatest landmarks of Hollywood, signifying both the glorious past and adventuresome future of the world's entertainment capital.

In the heart of Hollywood, on Hollywood Boulevard, right down the block from Vine Street, stands the Hollywood Pantages Theatre. 6233 Hollywood Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90028
