Our Show & Concert Fan Says:
Catch a show or two at Hollywood's Pantages Theatre, where entertainment and first class theater are top priorities!
Current and upcoming shows include Dirty Dancing, Fiddler on the Roof, and Legally Blonde.
Dirty Dancing is based on the 1987 film starring Patrick Swayze. It is the story of a sheltered teenage girl who meets a dance instructor who introduces her to a world of intense dancing, romance, heartbreak, and finally, what it means to truly grow up. The music and choreography of the stage production of Dirty Dancing is exhilarating, intense, and will take your breath away.
Fiddler on the Roof is the story of Tevya, a milkman in tsarist Russia, who tries his hardest to marry off his daughters while still maintaining a standard of religious observance. It is a story of tradition, tradition, and…tradition! Fiddler on the Roof first opened in 1964 and has won multiple Tony Awards over time.
Legally Blonde is a relatively new stage production based on the book by Amanda Brown and the 2001 comedy starring Reese Witherspoon. Legally Blonde is the story of what you might consider "a dumb blonde" who proves everyone's expectations wrong and works her way into Harvard Law School, to the top of her class. Of course there is a love story involved in this hysterical and charming musical.
