“Great venue”

We watched Kathy Griffin at this venue and had a great time; there really isn't a bad seat. If you're visiting, I'd suggest taking their tour.

“A MUST for tourists!”

If you're visiting L.A. for the first time, the Kodak Theatre is definitely worth a visit. It's right in the middle of Hollywood. Some might think the area is chaotic, but it's definitely engaging.
