Went to see "The Old Man and the Old Moon" - we thoroughly enjoyed it. The facilities are top-notch, and our seats were upgraded for free (probably due to "very rainy evening=lower attendance"). The seats were comfortable, the sound was great, and it looks like every seat has a good sight line. The staff were friendly and helpful. There also have a beautifully landscaped exterior, with a 'waterfall wall' in a courtyard. The production itself was excellent - I enjoyed the "Band of Actors"; they combined live music, drama and some clever shadow puppetry to great effect, and the story was fun, engaging, riotously exciting at times, and thought-provoking. Well done.

Such a beautiful venue (historic)! I have seen many plays and productions there (my favorite being the Hershey Felder ones). Easy parking, too! Highly recommend!

Given what I learned about Beethoven tonight, the maestro would have been both, terribly annoyed and surprised that his creations are still spellbinding audiences some 200 years later. The entire show is told through the eyes of a Viennese doctor, Gerhard von Breuning who spent his boyhood by Beethoven's side. This captivating "musical impressionistic" story was written and performed by the inimitable Hershey Felder who plays multiple characters (3? 4? 5?) with delft perfection. The best part? Everything in the show is based on authenticated letters left behind by Dr. Breuning. I was charmed at every turn by Felder's artistic rendering of the great master's lifetime from an abusive, difficult childhood to his celebrated success to his ultimate health decline. I learned. I laughed. I cried. I trembled when some of his most famous, striking notes were played. This performance moved me and I highly recommend it to art and music lovers in Los Angeles. The live piano performances are simply breathtaking. Felder even gave a surprise Q&A after his performance to answer audience questions. Once in a lifetime experience. Additionally, The Wallis hosted a post-show cocktail party with traditional Viennese pastries and coffee out on the upper terrace. After all these years hearing his familiar sonatas, this was my first time hearing Beethoven's music live at The Wallis and I'll never forget it as long as I live.

I purchased 2 tickets to the Hershey Felder's Beethoven for Aug. 1 but have not received the tickets yet. Am I supposed to pick them up at the will call? The seats are at Row CC 208 and 209. What proof needed?

Mine were sent to me, but i bought tickets for what i assume was a leased event (Gene Kelly, The Legacy) -- i don't know this for a fact, but at places like the Hollywood Bowl performers lease the Bowl to put on their shows, and the tivkets are handled differently from performances the Bowl presents. The Wallis msy or may not kease out their theaters to soecific performers. However, if the do, those tickets may be handled differently from tickets for performances The Wallis puts on. You should call the box office to ask if your tickets will be msiled ir if they are held at Will Call.

Google tickets to and then the name of the show. Always check the venue's website for tickets. If you want to get discounted tickets I would check Goldstar and Groupon-they are legit websites.
