Editorial Review for Music Box @ Fonda – by Mar Yvette
In Short
Formerly known as the Henry Fonda Theatre, this historic theater first opened in 1926 and frequently played host to silver screen legends like Marlene Dietrich and Clark Gable. Today, all-access freedom and performances from top rock acts offers a decidedly more laidback experience. The standing-room-only main space sets an interactive vibe while the upstairs mezzanine leads to the sleek rooftop speakeasy, where folks can get a drink, hang in the indoor lounge area, take in the views of Hollywood or light up with nary a disapproving stare. The unusual slanting balcony offers seats and one of the best views of the stage and modern intricacies like a state-of-the-art sound and light system and plasma TVs have moved this legendary venue into the new century.

I've been to pretty much every music venue in Los Angeles, and after careful scrutiny, I've decided that the Henry Fonda Theatre is my personal favorite. Everything from the atmosphere (old Hollywood luxury) to the sound quality (crisp and perfectly balanced) makes for a dynamic concert experience. It easily competes with the Wiltern, which while excellent, costs two arms and a leg to get into.
