The United Theater on Broadway is one of Downtown Los Angeles' most distinctive historic theaters. Originally created as an elaborate 1920s movie palace, it stands out for its Spanish Gothic architecture and an auditorium with approximately 1,600 seats. Its monumental design, richly detailed decoration and connection to the legacy of United Artists give the venue a distinctive place among the historic stages of the Broadway Theatre District.
The interior retains the atmosphere of a classic movie palace, with a three-story grand lobby, an open balcony, mezzanine and a vaulted ceiling decorated with thousands of small reflective elements. This setting gives concerts, stand-up comedy, screenings and other stage productions a more intimate character than large arenas, while the auditorium layout provides clear sightlines toward the stage from different seating areas.
The theater is located at 929 S Broadway, Los Angeles, United States, on South Broadway between West Ninth Street and West Olympic Boulevard. The entrance opens directly onto Broadway, while numerous public parking options can be found within the surrounding blocks, allowing visitors to park close to the venue.
