Coronet Theatre

I saw Eddie Izzard’s Work-​In-​Progress sold out show last night and this was the first time I’ve ever been at the theater.
Five minutes after the scheduled time of show (it didn’t start ’til 15 – 20 after) I was able to grab a seat in the back and had a great view of the stage. Unfortunately, it was also a bit drafty so I felt the cool breeze every time someone opened and closed the door. My seat wasn’t so comfortable, but it’s an old theater and it was well-​maintained. I would definitely see a show there again since the place holds no more than 250 people and I love an intimate setting.
There was $ 7 in-​door parking right next to the entrance, but after seeing how packed in the cars were in the up-​hill entrance I tried for free, metered-​street parking. There was virtually none on La Cienega (at such a late hour) and residential spaces behind the busy streets were permit only. However I was able to grab a free space on Beverly Blvd, which was one big block away from the theater.

I saw Eddie Izzard’s Work in Progress here last night, and aside from him being amazing as usual, I really liked this venue.
It’s small, simply lit, and was a great venue for him to be in. I’m currently on crutchs so I got some rather V.I.P. treatment by the crew. I arrived about 20 mins to showtime and was allowed to sit on some benches near the front enterance. When the doors were opened to the line, I was let in thru a side door which lets you in right to the front row, which is where me and my super excited friend took out seats. And the front row, is really front row, none of that half wall business. It was as if I was sitting at Eddie’s feet, so great.
I didn’t have trouble finding parking on the street. Even at such a late time, I found lots of free metered parking spots open almost directly across the street from the theatre.
p. s. skin to win!
