This 3,000-seat theater, built in 1931 and fully restored in 1973, is a beauty. One of the greatest examples of art-deco architecture in the U.S., the theater's countless mosaics and floor-to-ceiling sculptures--many Egyptian in appearance--transport audience members to the time of the pharaohs. The Fountain of Light, a large (almost 35 feet high), illuminated, carved-glass composition,... more

The area surrounding this entertainment landmark is less than appealing. Skip the meters and shell out $5 for one of the many garages.

Girl,

Jennifer Hudson/Robin Thicke Review Paramount Theater, May 19, 2009

It's a good thing you did not spend your hard earned money on last night's show! Not only was it a prior postponed concert now two and one half weeks later, it started one hour late a 8:30 with a DJ from KMEL 106 screaming about something.

I had heard so much about it but it was my first time on Friday when a bollywood movie. And this movie is a costume drama so I was more excited. But before the movie I was star struck by the magnificence of the theater. It is a huge monument with brilliant architecture all over with the elegant set up adding to it.

Thisis one of my most favorite places to go to a concert. It is beautiful, comfortable, and the acoustics are great. It is worth the drive, the parking, etc. to see a band you love in this historic setting.
