ALL ABOUT the El Capitan Theatre

Our most recent ALL ABOUT event took place at the historic El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, in early November.

Members and supporters went behind-the-scenes, from the stage basement to the followspot booth way up at the back of the auditorium, and everywhere in between.

This 1926 theatre is rich in Hollywood movie history and our friends at Disney and the El Capitan gave us an all-access pass to much of the theatre, along with a fantastic presentation on the Wurlitzer organ with a 1-to-1 Q+A with Rob Richards, the El Capitan's organist since 1999.

Our Mission

The Los Angeles Historic Theatre Foundation is a non-profit, tax exempt membership and volunteer-powered organization.

The Los Angeles Historic Theatre Foundation is a spirited organization pursuing excellence and innovation in the creation of unique arts and entertainment destinations that bring together commercial and non-profit historic theatre enterprises. LAHTF aims to present a thoughtfully curated variety of quality film and performing arts events, advance arts education, and support communities interested in reviving historic theatres as catalysts for the arts, entertainment, new businesses, and residential living. Successful historic theatre projects build community and strengthen economic development and vitality.

Historic theatres are the bricks and mortar legacies of the visionary showmen who built them. Movie palaces, vaudeville houses, legit stages, all showcase something uniquely American, an architectural daring that mixed many styles into an improbably unified whole – a dream palace. The architecture of fantasy transformed audiences, it created an immersive experience that inspired and entertained, transported them from the cares of the day to a magical land where troubles disappear and dreams come true. Within its walls, each historic theatre spans generations of cultural, social and popular American entertainment. In these auditoriums, from these stages and screens, minds were opened, hearts were touched, romances bloomed and lives were changed. Historic theatres are repositories of memories and meaning. LAHTF protects and preserves the few remaining theatres constructed during the first half of the 20th Century. We are determined to ensure that these extraordinary theatres will endure and entertain for generations to come. Join with us. Your contributions and participation makes the LAHTF possible.

Real experiences of the real Los Angeles

Inside la - the los angeles lowdown, broadway los angeles: historic theater district.

Broadway Los Angeles

When we mention the Broadway Los Angeles Theater District on our tours, visitors from outside Southern California can get confused. Don’t we mean Broadway New York? Their confusion only increases when we tell them that the area in downtown actually has the largest number of historic theaters in the U.S. It does perhaps seem incredible – but it’s true. There is one distinction though, LA’s Broadway was mostly comprised of movie palaces, meaning theaters that were designed to show a program of live entertainment, usually vaudeville-style shows, and movies, or just movies.

It may be hard to imagine now, but during its heyday, from around 1900 to the late 1940’s, Broadway was the entertainment and shopping district for Los Angeles. The May Company building between 8 th and 9 th    Streets was the biggest department store west of Chicago, and there were many others that were almost as big, lining the busy street.

Broadway Los Angeles, 1931

There were nearly twenty theaters on Broadway itself and the streets running parallel on either side. Between them they would have been able to sit over thirty thousand patrons. And they were full every night. Charles Chaplin , who moved to LA in 1913, writes in his autobiography of going to see a show in one of the theaters on a regular basis during the 1910’s and 20’s. It’s just what you did. You’d grab a bite in one of the many diners or restaurants and catch a show, followed by a movie (and then visit a speakeasy bar ).

Decline of Downtown LA

Unfortunately for downtown several things happened in the 1950’s and 60’s that doomed Broadway and made it even harder for the theater owners to keep their palaces open, even if they had been able to quickly pivot to new business plans and patrons.

Firstly Television appeared and rapidly became incredibly popular, meaning that fewer and fewer people were looking for live entertainment, especially on weeknights. Single screen theaters too became rarer and rarer with the advent of the multiplex.

Secondly, this all coincided with the increasing suburbanization of Southern California and the rise of the automobile. One by one the streetcar lines that serviced downtown were closed down , meaning that getting into the neighborhood was increasingly difficult. This was a serious, almost terminal, issue for the Broadway theaters. They were particularly at risk from bad traffic, since all their customers have to arrive at the same time. Imagine if it was a busy Saturday and thirty thousand patrons were all descending on the Theater District at the same time – it would be total gridlock. Even if the theaters actually had their own parking. Which most don’t, because it wasn’t necessary at the time they were constructed.

A sizable theater district can only exist in a city with a decent public transport system, like New York or London. Without that it’s just not possible. Fortunately LA has learned that lesson (to an extent) and there are now multiple light and heavy rail lines running into downtown. All we have to do is get more Angelenos to use them 🙂 .

Historic Theaters on Broadway in Los Angeles

A few of the theaters have regular programs of movies or events. Some have been turned into shops or markets, several have been demolished, but most of them are still hanging in there, and if you get a chance to go inside one (which this article will help you do), it can be a magical experience.

MILLION DOLLAR THEATRE (1917)

The Million Dollar Theatre opened in November 1917 with the premiere of The Silent Man . It is still the largest theater on Broadway with around 2,200 seats (down from the original 2,500), although it isn’t the grandest.

It was built for theatrical impresario Sid Grauman and accordingly, like almost all of his theaters, it had a sizable stage. That turned out to be a saving grace as it allowed the theater to pivot to other uses over its hundred-odd-year career. In the 1940’s it became a live music venue for Jazz greats like Dizzie Gillespie and from the 1950’s-1990’s it was a Spanish-language movie theater. Then it was a church.

Nowadays it’s used for concerts and events, as well as screenings, usually of classic movies. These events are often organized in conjunction with next door’s Grand Central Market, so it’s easy to make a night of it (more information here ).

ROXIE THEATRE (1932)

The Roxie opened in 1932 and is the last of the Broadway movie palaces to be built. It could seat 1,500 patrons back in the day and was noted for its Art Deco Zigzag design (which, in spite of its bad condition, still stands out today). It closed in 1989 and was turned into retail units.

Cameo and Roxie Theaters, c1950

CAMEO THEATER (1910)

Believe it or not, but when you look at this rundown swap meet type store you’re actually looking at the birth of film in Los Angeles. This is the first purpose built movie theater ever to be built in California! The concept of a dedicated theater, only for films, was quite new. Needless to say it has worked out since – although not for the Cameo. The new design was called a ‘Picture Playhouse’ and it was operated by Billy Clune, who was also a film producer, constructing his own studios in Hollywood. That lot is still in use for production and is now known as Raleigh Studios.

The Cameo was in operation all the way until 1991, when it was converted to retail.

ARCADE THEATRE (1910)

When the 1400-seat Arcade opened it was part of the Pantages Theatre circuit, run by Alexander Pantages (whose beautiful landmark theatre is at Hollywood and Vine). It was a vaudeville-style theater until the 1940’s, when it was converted to show films and newsreels, which it did until 1992, by which time it was a grindhouse.

LOS ANGELES THEATRE (1931)

Widely regarded as the most beautiful and sumptuous of all the movie palaces on downtown Los Angeles’ Broadway, the Los Angeles Theatre opened with the world premiere of Charles Chaplin’s City Lights . The impresario who commissioned it, H L Gumbiner, was running out of money as it neared completion, but Charlie stepped in to ensure it was ready on time.

The list of attendees at the premiere reads like a who’s who of Hollywood back then. Even Albert Einstein, teaching at Caltech at the time, came and the great man was reported to be in tears at the end! Nevertheless all marveled at the magnificent new theater.

A movie house for the gods. (It) was palatial beyond the dreams of a prince. (Suggesting) nothing less than the glory of Versailles. Jack Smith, The Los Angeles Times

Premiere of 'City Lights' at the Los Angeles Theatre

Underneath the 2000-seat theater was a restaurant, bar, ballroom, soundproofed nursery (isn’t that a brilliant business idea) and the most beautiful toilets you’ve ever seen.

Like so many theaters on Broadway Los Angeles, it closed in the 1990’s (1994 in this case), although it’s often used for filming and there are movie screenings and other events throughout the year.

Los Angeles Theatre

PALACE THEATRE (1911)

The Palace was designed as a vaudeville and movie theatre, with a seating capacity of 2,200. When it opened it was part of the Orpheum circuit and it is in fact the oldest such theatre in the U.S. Later it was owned by Twentieth Century Fox, before ultimately closing as a first-run movie theatre in 2000.

STATE THEATRE (1921)

This was another vaudeville and movie palace, with capacity for 2,450 patrons on opening. In the late 1920’s the Gumm Sisters performed here, the youngest of which was nick-named Leather Lungs, on account of her ability to be heard at the very top, back, end of the house. When the theater stopped showing vaudeville the sisters managed to get a contract from Metro Goldwyn Mayer and Leather Lungs had enormous success as Judy Garland (interestingly there is a Garland Building a block away from the State Theatre, leading some to conclude that this was where she got the inspiration for her new name).

The theater was leased to a Brazilian church in 1997, who’ve occupied it ever since.

GLOBE THEATRE (1913)

The Globe was one of the few existing theatres on Broadway which was designed as a legit theater, with seating for around eight-hundred people. Built for impresario Oliver Morosco, it showed dramatic theater until the Great Depression, when it was converted to show movies. Later it became a Spanish-language movie theater, and then a swap meet, before being converted and restored back to being a theater in the 2010’s. It’s now mostly used for screenings and other events.

Tower Theatre opening

TOWER THEATRE (1927)

Once again when you look at the Tower Theatre you’re looking at a piece of film history. Just as the theatre was nearing completion Warner Bros was about to open its new movie, The Jazz Singer . This was the first feature film to use synchronized sound, a brand new invention at the time. The studio was nervous about how the revolutionary movie would be received, so they arranged to have a secret screening at the Tower Theatre, to gauge the audience’s response.

The theatre had been wired for sound, one of the very first in the world, and the preview was held in 1927. It was a pivotal moment in the development of cinema and it’s impossible to overstate the impact that it had on popular entertainment. The audience was awestruck and within a couple of years silent movies had all but disappeared.

Tower Theatre today

As time passed the theatre became a newsreel house, before reverting back to first-run movies in the 1960’s. Latterly it was a concert venue and filming location. The Tower appeared in Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige (playing a London music hall very convincingly), but now it’s a flagship Apple Store. It somehow feels appropriate that it’s a modern tech giant that occupies this spot, which was at the cutting edge of early twentieth-century tech.

RIALTO THEATER (1917)

The Rialto opened as a movie theatre with exactly a thousand seats. It was known at the time as Quinn’s Rialto after its owner, John Quinn. During the early 1920’s it was taken over by Sid Grauman, then it was owned by Paramount, nevertheless it kept going until 1987, when it finally closed.

Rialto Theater

In 2013 the Rialto reopened as an Urban Outfitters store , with a restored marquee (the only part of the theater which has historical preservation status).

ORPHEUM THEATRE (1926)

The final Los Angeles venue for the famed Orpheum vaudeville circuit, this theater has two-thousand seats and is the best preserved of the Broadway Los Angeles theaters.

Orpheum Theatre lobby

For its early years the Orpheum mostly stuck to presenting vaudeville, although movies were shown from time to time, sometimes as part of the theatrical show. However, in the 1950’s the theatre was given over to film. Since 2000 the Orpheum has been available for for film shoots, business meetings, award shows and other special events (more information here ).

UNITED ARTISTS THEATRE (1927)

This theatre was leased to United Artists upon completion and the idea was that it would hold premieres for the studio’s films, as well as theatrical presentations, either to accompany the film presentations, or as separate shows. As such the 2,200 seat theater was lavishly appointed, with a grand and intricate gothic design inspired by the cathedral of Segovia, Spain.

United Artists had been formed in 1919, when Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Charles Chaplin and D W Griffith (the three biggest actors and the most successful director in Hollywood at the time) had created the company, in order to be able to make and control their own projects. The model for the Hollywood studios then was that they would own their own theater chain, so Broadway’s theatre was an important part of that strategy.

However the plan didn’t last long into the 1930’s, when the stage shows were ditched (business dived after the advent of talkies) and the UA began to focus solely on film. It closed in 1989 and the following year became a church (you’d be forgiven for thinking that Broadway must be a religious neighborhood, it’s not, it’s just that it’s convenient for the congregation).

Los Angeles Broadway at night

In 2014 the building reopened as an Ace Hotel, with the UA, now fully restored, being opened to the public for regular screenings, concerts and events (more information here ). In January 2024 the Ace Hotel is due to close, although the theatre will continue as normal.

Off Broadway Theaters

These theaters are adjacent to Broadway and considered part of the Historic Theater District.

REGENT THEATRE (1914)

Opening as a reputable film house on Main Street, it’s now the only theater there. Unfortunately it was downhill for the Regent from its opening, as first it transitioned to second run films in the 1930’s, due to the gravitational effect of Broadway pulling its clients away. Then in the 1950’s it became a grindhouse theatre and by the 1970’s it was offering 24-hours of pornographic movies.

Evidently even that didn’t transform its fortunes, because it closed in 2000. In 2014 the Regent reopened as a concert venue, which it remains. It’s operated by Live Nation (more information here ).

WARNER BROS DOWNTOWN THEATRE (1920)

Occupying a prime spot on the corner of Hill and 7 th Streets, only a block west of Broadway, the Warner was a Pantages when it opened. The theatre was to be the prestige showcase house for the entire Pantages vaudeville theatrical empire.

By the the time Pantages opened the theatre his programs consisted of vaudeville and film, this meant the stage was large enough to accommodate shows with ranks of dancing girls and other spectacles, although not big enough to put on a full New York Broadway-style show. The capacity was 2,200 in an ornate and grand setting. However, Pantages sold off his theater chain in 1930 and this one became the Warner Bros Downtown Theatre, where the studio would hold many of its film premieres.

In the 1950’s the U.S. Government forced the Hollywood studios to split their businesses, effectively losing control of their theater chains. That’s a minor element in the decline of the district: as long as the big studios owned a bunch of the theaters and had premieres there, they had an interest in the neighborhood. Once they didn’t they didn’t, and correspondingly the Los Angeles Broadway Theater District declined.

The Warner closed in 1975 and a few years later it became the Downtown Jewelry Center. The lobby and auditorium are filled with jewelry stalls, a false floor having been put over the seats and many of the walls having been taken down to accommodate the new use for the theater. Nevertheless, if you ever stand in the old auditorium you can still see most of the theater still intact all around you, and it’s magnificent.

Warner Bros Downtown Theatre today

OLYMPIC THEATRE (1927)

The Olympic was a movie theatre from the get-go, being converted from the building’s previous use as a restaurant. It got its name in 1931, in honor of the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. The Olympic closed as a film house in 1997, after which it was vacant for many years, before receiving a beautiful remodeling in 2017, turning it into a higher-end clothing store (by that point almost all the original details had already been lost).

MAYAN THEATRE (1927)

At the time the Mayan was built Mayan revival architecture was becoming all the rage, and that’s particularly reflected in the theater’s design. Mayan features had often been utilized in theaters during the 1920’s, but few took it as far as this one. It was designed for musical comedies, seating almost 1,500 patrons, and during the early thirties the Mayan alternated stage shows with movies.

In 1936 the WPA Federal Theatre Project took over the theatre, with a program of legit theatrical shows. By the 1940’s it was proving popular with the large African American population who had recently moved into the area to work in wartime factories. Importantly, the Mayan audience was integrated, whereas other theaters in downtown were not. A highlight from this period was Sweet ‘N Hot , an “All Star Colored Musical Revue” starring Dorothy Dandridge.

The Mayan was another pornographic movie house in the 1970’s and 80’s, before becoming a nightclub in 1990 (more information here ).

BELASCO THEATRE (1926)

Right next door to the Mayan, the Belasco was a legit theater to be run by the same management. The theater was also built and owned by oil magnate Edward Doheny, like the Mayan, and it had a thousand seats.

During the 1930’s it was arguably the most successful dramatic theatrical theater in downtown with stars, and future stars, such as Edward G Robinson, Leslie Howard, Humphrey Bogart, Tallulah Bankhead and Betty Grable all appearing on stage at the Belasco.

However, in 1950, it closed as a theater and became – you probably guessed it – a church, which it remained until 1984 (it’s an interesting juxtaposition, having a porn theater next to a church, but hey, welcome to LA!).

After a long period of little use, apart from occasional film shoots, the Belasco was converted into a nightclub in 2011. Now it’s run by Live Nation as a concert venue (more information here ).

With the opening this month of the Regional Connector, which will run right through downtown, perhaps we’ll see more of the palaces come back to life. There is a new station on Broadway after all.

A great way to experience these theaters is to do one of the monthly Historic Broadway Theater tours of the Los Angeles Conservancy . The Conservancy also organize an annual classic movie screening season in several of the old theaters every summer, called Last Remaining Seats. What better way is there to experience one of these theaters, than to watch a great film in such a wonderful setting?

Dolby Theatre

The theatre is equipped with Dolby Atmos ® cinema sound playback—the most natural, lifelike sensory experience available in a cinema. Complete with 215 individually powered loudspeakers, the Dolby Theatre features one of the most sophisticated sound systems in the world.

The theatre is equipped with Dolby Vision ® projection technology—delivering incredible color, a million-to-one contrast ratio, and twice the brightness of standard screens.

We've been working with talented filmmakers to create unforgettable movie experiences for more than 40 years. From the cinema to the living room, Dolby continues to transform the entertainment experience, and the Dolby Theatre reflects our ongoing commitment to help moviemakers realize their visions.

One of the world’s premier entertainment venues, Dolby Theatre has hosted a range of prestigious artists and events including IRIS by Cirque du Soleil, Alicia Keys, Celine Dion, Prince, Elvis Costello, Barry Manilow, Stevie Wonder, Harry Connick, Jr., Melissa Etheridge, Dixie Chicks, Tyler Perry, American Ballet Theatre and various touring Broadway productions.

Notable television and awards events at Dolby Theatre have included the American Idol finals, AFI Lifetime Achievement Awards to Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, and George Lucas, Daytime Emmy Awards, ESPY Awards and BET Awards.

For the theatergoer, Dolby Theatre experience begins on Hollywood Boulevard, where a towering portal, designed by Rockwell, serves as the grand entrance to the theatre, which is set back from the street. A two-story Awards Walk, featuring backlit glass plaques for each Best Picture Oscar ® winner on a series of limestone portals, leads up a sweeping staircase with red mosaic tile to the main entrance.

The five-level theatre lobby is centered by a grand spiral staircase with cherrywood balustrades, topped by an oval, uplit silvery dome. Certain lobby design elements were inspired by Michelangelo’s Campodiglio in Rome and Busby Berkeley’s choreography. Twenty-six spectacular images of famous Oscar ® winners including Grace Kelly, Jack Nicholson, Marlon Brando, Halle Berry and Julia Roberts are permanently displayed on four lobby levels as photographic transparencies on clear plexiglass hung in front of shimmering beaded “silver screen” panels.

The audience chamber is highlighted by a silver-leafed “tiara”, a striking, looping oval structure that both supports and disguises an immense ceiling grid for lighting. Reflective ribs from the tiara extend down between the theatre’s box seats, creating a continuous flow from wall to ceiling. The chamber was designed to draw attention to the action on the stage, as well as to achieve the maximum intimacy between audience and performers. It is appointed with sumptuous details that give the space warmth including cherrywood finishes and deep plum upholstery, as well as a shimmering glow provided by curtains of two shades of iridescent fabric and a fine bronze mesh that stretches to the top of the proscenium, which measures some 64 feet wide by 35 feet high. The main stage area is one of the largest in the nation, at 120 feet wide and 75 feet deep.

Wolfgang Puck Catering and Events, owned by celebrated chef Wolfgang Puck, is the exclusive provider of food and beverage services for Dolby Theatre, including front of house, backstage and special private events that can be held in the theatre lobbies and the Dolby Lounge.

Guided theatre tours are offered with production and performance schedule exceptions.  Please refer to the Tour Schedule for availability. The walking tour offers visitors architectural and historical highlights of the world-renowned venue, as well as a glimpse of the ultra glamorous side of Dolby Theatre on Hollywood’s biggest night – the Oscars ® .

Dolby Theatre is located within Ovation Hollywood, which consists of over 640,000 square feet of space featuring national, regional and local retail tenants, a variety of restaurants, several of Hollywood’s hottest nightclubs, a six screen state-of-the-art cinema adjacent to the world-famous TCL Chinese Theatre (formerly known as Grauman’s) and the 640 room Loews Hollywood Hotel.

Who Gives the Walking Tours?

Los Angeles Conservancy-trained volunteer tour guides primarily lead tours.

Who are the Los Angeles Conservancy Tour Guides?

Los Angeles Conservancy tour guides are highly trained individuals, passionate about sharing their love of  Los Angeles, history, architecture, and preservation with others. They come to the Conservancy with unique backgrounds and experiences, but they all have the same goal—to share the story of Los Angeles’ places with others and to inspire a love for its historic buildings.

Tour Guide Training

All tour guides are volunteers who dedicate their time, energy, and knowledge to serve as the face of the Los Angeles Conservancy’s Walking Tour Program. Each guide undergoes a rigorous six-week training course that consists of in-class and on-the-street training. They learn about architectural styles, the history of downtown and its diverse communities, and about preservation and the work of the Los Angeles Conservancy. They learn one to two different walking tours using scripts created by Conservancy staff and train under fellow Conservancy tour guides. Educational and safety workshops are held throughout the year that enable guides to continue their training and meet Conservancy walking tours’ high standards.

Please visit our volunteers page for information about becoming a Los Angeles Conservancy volunteer tour guide .

Report: Ado bedazzles Los Angeles with first world tour “Wish”

On March 29, Ado brought magic to Los Angeles while journeying on her first world tour Wish , powered by CrunchyRoll . The acclaimed virtuosa brought down the sold-out Peacock Theater for over 7,000 attendees, some clad with merch, many others decked out in full Ado cosplay, who all flooded the hall with a sea of blue and red light sticks.

Ado got her start as an “utaite”, a singer who mainly posts covers for the online Vocaloid community. She reached a broader audience in 2020 with her debut digital single Usseewa , which stole the scene with a number one spot on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart. Ado was only seventeen years old at the time.

theatre tours los angeles

Since then, Ado has only ascended higher with countless hits, even providing the singing voice for the character Uta in the 2022 anime blockbuster One Piece Film: Red . Throughout her rise to international fame, her identity has remained a closely guarded secret. When performing live, her figure appears no more visible than a backlit shadow projected onto the gauzy drape over the “Ado Box”, a massive cage fitted with its own lighting that dances and flashes along to every song…

The moment Ado glides onto stage, her face hidden by a traditional Japanese umbrella, sends shivers of anticipation down our spines. Perhaps because her identity is shrouded in mystery, we’re all the more enthralled to realize that she is actually there, sharing her voice in person. The crowd roars at her entrance. The enthusiasm only grows as she opens with Shin Jidai , an uplifting theme for One Piece Film: Red , with a wispy falsetto that climbs into a soaring chorus.

Cheers erupt as the final beat segues flawlessly into the iconic Usseewa . Ado plasters line after line with her aggressive vocals, gradually morphing the melody into guttural growls, which show off her incredible vocal versatility.

theatre tours los angeles

Although she sings within a cage, she commands the space like a queen on her throne. We only see her silhouette–a slim figure caped in a loose duster and donning flared pants–but her personality and attitude shine through her power poses, playful choreography, and dramatic gestures. At times she even utilizes the floor, such as when she collapses in the third track Lucky Bruto . Her heeled boots kick back and forth coquettishly in contrast to the dark imagery of handcuffs on the screen behind her.

As the night proceeds with staples Readymade , Rebellion , Utakata Lullaby , and Motherland , Ado’s four-piece support band ignites sparks with mesmerizing musicianship. Bassist Naoki Kobayashi and drummer Ryunosuke Morita snap and punch with laser precision. Meanwhile, guitarist Takafumi Koukei shreds dizzying solos while holding his Telecaster high in the air. The spunky pianist Sara Wakui steals our breath again and again, bopping and leaping across keyboards while beaming an ear-to-ear smile to the crowd in disbelief.

While some of Ado’s lyrics are so fast-paced, they’re almost a rap, the easy-going Gira Gira invites everyone to chant along. Then, she flips the mood fast enough to give us whiplash, throwing everything she has into the screams in Tot Musica . Bending so far back, she makes us all wonder how she keeps herself from toppling onto her head. And how do her vocal cords come out unscathed night after night? This transitions immediately into the soft opening to a cover of Kikuo’s Aishite Aishite Aishite , which crescendos into a maniacal waltz.

theatre tours los angeles

A brief water break encases the Ado Box in solid blue. The digital curtains then part, revealing utopian golden skies and a greeting from the anthemic Watashi wa Saikyou . The punk-ish spirit carries onward into the cynical Ashura-chan , which brings all of Peacock Theater to raise their hands and waive to the beat in unison. The brassy, breakneck Kura Kura completes the trifecta, recounting imagery of the whimsical land of espionage from the anime series SPY x FAMILY .

After the TeddyLoid remix of Yoru no Pierrot and KokoroToluNaNoFukakai , Ado treats us to another cover, Mayonaka no Door~Stay With Me . The video backdrop converts to a retro 4:3 format, and a glittery, overexposed karaoke stock footage accompanies Ado’s reimagining of Miki Matsubara’s 1980 single.

Ado took few breaks, plowing through the setlist with incredible endurance. She pauses only once to address concert goers before the last song of the main set. With thoughtfully rehearsed English, she thanks everyone for coming to see her show.

“Hello everyone! I’m Ado! This tour marks my first trip outside Japan!” For Los Angeles, she notes in particular her chance to enjoy Santa Monica beach . An endearing moment of frustration also surfaces when she can’t remember a particular word to describe her experience. (Don’t worry Ado, it happens to all of us, even as native English speakers!)

“Have you been to Japan?” Ado asks. Many scream affirmative. “Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa, Hokkaido…” It becomes clear that Ado, despite standing behind a veil, radiates with joy and love to the people who embrace not only her music but also Japanese culture as a whole.

The 2023 smash single Show closes out her heartfelt speech, igniting an explosion from the stage all the way to the last row in the balcony. The sitar-laced downbeats unite the entire hall–women and men and non-gender conforming, parents and kids, lifers and casuals–to clap and groove to the signature zombie shuffle.

theatre tours los angeles

Ado and her band return for a robust four-song encore, including Gyakkou , FREEDOM , and the long-awaited cover of Kurousa-P’s Senbonzakura . As part of her final message to fans, she reveals a bit of vulnerability, sharing her roots as a passionate utaite surrogate singer who dedicated herself to the “utattemita” cover artist community.

“Thank you for respecting my music. I’ll come back again! See you soon!” With this, she launches into her album’s lead track Odo featuring a special dance beat intro, the evening’s true finale.

In an era of smartphones when we’re all constantly documenting our lived experiences for someone else, being unable to access our devices during the concert led to a strange feeling (they were sealed in special Yondr pouches as per venue and staff regulation). But it also brought together countless music lovers and tied us to the present in a way that we couldn’t have possibly experienced when living a concert through our screens. Although the strict prohibition of cameras or recording equipment was understandable for the sake of the artist, this refreshing change pulled everyone into Ado’s universe.

THE FIRST WORLD TOUR “Wish” Mar 29th, Peacock Theater in Los Angeles Thank you!! by Ado Staff #AdoWish #AdoLAX2024 pic.twitter.com/RkvotyWdiD — Ado Staff (@ado_staff) March 31, 2024

Considering the sold-out booking in each major city, Ado’s tour would be an incredible feat for any artist, even more so for one on her first overseas tour. To celebrate the remarkable success, Ado left her fans with one last gift: a special playlist, highlighting songs from the tour and bonus voice memos featuring Ado’s heartfelt memories in each city in the respective languages. Bravo to Ado and her world-class staff. We can’t wait for you to return!
