El Capitan Theatre

Wow, what a way to watch a movie. This is a trademark & landmark of Hollywood. Classic of oldie theater era. Love the architecture and detail of the decors both inside and outside. Just breathtaking and fantastic to the see it. The lobby is small but enough space for confession area. Downstairs are the restrooms and an area for selfie or cocktails area in the golden years. There is upstairs too. There is organ/piano music playing live prior to the show. Just wonderful. If you got a chance, come and check it out, so worth it. Yes, the tickets can be expensive but trust me, once you’re inside you just feel like you’re back in the golden era.

This is one of the best theatres I’ve ever been to. It’s beautiful inside and out. You must come here and experience it. Special events where they have a live 25-minute performance on a special occasion.. El Capitan still has an organ that they play before the movie. Come early so you can see the organ being played live. Beautiful.

I had the pleasure of visiting this historic iconic theater. This theater is celebrating 100 years in business! We were enthusiastically greeted. I had tickets for the Devil Wears Prada 2. We got there earlier and took advantage of all the photos opportunity this theater had to offer. The sound system is amazing and all of the old world charm is still intact after all these many years. Fresh popcorn was popping upon entering the theater. The seats are comfy and they do not recline (old world nostalgia). There are three floors to this theater. Restrooms are located on the lower floor, the main floor and balcony. There was a red carpet photo opportunity on the lower level as well. Walking through the glass double doors to the gift shop. Parking is available at the plaza. Be sure to get your parking validating before leaving. This theater is more than just a theater. It’s California history!!

My husband and I had a movie date night at El Capitán Theater for the premiere of The Devil Wears Prada 2 and this was our first time there. We had an amazing night. The theater was well organized for this event, all the employees were very nice. Theater and restrooms were very clean. An amazing experience for sure and can't wait to go back and take our son to the premiere of Toy Story 5. If you haven't been to a premiere at El Capitán Theater I highly recommend. The ticket price is worth it!

Really Cool Spot. Great Place to See A Movie and Go To Ghirardelli Right Next Door For Some Ice Cream Treats and Chocolate. Right On Hollywood Blvd. Come Heck Out The Stars. Oscars was a Blast.
