Can't wait!
Years ago when I worked in Downtown LA and lived in Silverlake, I took a shortcut using Glendale Blvd., (which intersects 1st Street), and passed right by the theatre. It perked my interest and I've always wanted to go. Now that my daughter is old enough, and the Christmas holiday is around the corner (they're performing the classic Nutcracker until the end of January), we purchased our tickets for the Christmas Eve show.
