While Hollywood is popularly associated with the movies, the live theatre scene ranges from intimate 99 seats and less to the spectacular Pantages and iconic Dolby Theatre. Also, music is the hear tbeat of Hollywood with small clubs and major outdoor stages. Likewise, ever yone wants a good laugh now and then and Hollywood’s comedy clubs provide training grounds for ar tists before them become household names.
