Just because I love Les Mis history and photos of theaters...
The Shubert Theatre, Century City (site of the show's LA premiere: the 2nd National Tour, 1988)
The Pantages Theatre, Hollywood (site of the 1st National Tour in 1990 and the 3rd National Tour several times)
The Ahmanson Theatre, Downtown LA (site of the 3rd National Tour in 1999/2000 and the 25th Anniversary Tour in 2011)
Unfortunately, the Shubert Theatre was torn down in 2002, and I was only a baby when the show played there, so I'll never know what the experience was like for LA's first Les Mis audiences. :( But I have seen the show twice at the Pantages and once at the Ahmanson. Of those two, I have to say the Pantages is my favorite. It's a gorgeous theatre with such a rich Hollywood history, and they even say it's haunted! :)
Just a little nostalgia from my home city.
