This is the ultimate place in Los Angeles to see a show in the summertime; whether you’re there to see the Philharmonic with fireworks or the long days of the Playboy Jazz Festival or some of the wonderful rock shows they host, such as recent pairings of indie rock bands with string orchestras, you will be enchanted. Even if you’re sitting on the concrete seats all the way in the back, you need only feel the cool temperatures (bring a sweater) and look up at the stars and be transported. Traffic and parking can be a hassle, so consider taking a shuttle if you can.
