Leo S Bing Theater

The Theater: It is located inside LACMA, near the bookstore and café. It is mid-​size theater. There is enough leg room. The sound effects are okay. Love the location because can hang out at the courtyard or garden area before or after the performance.
The Parking: LACMA parking lot $ 12. Private lot across street (on Wilshire Blvd, $ 12). Street metered parking.

They have a weekly FREE concert series here every Sunday. It seats about 600 people. You need to line up at least 45 minutes before the show or you might not get in. We’ve been twice and the performances were both great. They also broadcast the show live on some radio station. Note that you don’t have to pay LACMA $ 14 to park as there’s lots of free street parking within a couple blocks on Sundays.

Been here at least 75 times for mostly films and sometimes music. Good size. Average comfort seats although outdated. Not enough incline in the theater so make sure nobody tall sits in front of you. Decent screen and sound. Bathrooms are upstairs with no elevator. Older building that is eventualky goung to be torn down when lacma does their 7 or 9 year major renivation which sounds like a nightmare. I always enjoy the films and music at the bing.

I came here for the Sundays Live concert of listening to some phenomenal Brahms Clarinet Sonatas as well as Debussy’s Première Rhapsodie! Well performed by Burt Hara and Neal Stulberg!
It is a beautiful venue for a chamber music concert! Acoustically, I wasn’t impressed nor displeased, but nonetheless, a great theater! I’m not sure if they can control the air conditioning, but it was a little stuffy in there!
Hoping to come here again soon to listen to some great music!

Sunday live at the Bing Theater! This is a great chamber music series featuring excellent artist from around the world. Great music great venue — perfect way to spend a Sunday evening.
Next time? UCLA Philharmonia or swing over to an evening of Jazz at the LACMA!

The museum shows some cool eclectic films & sometimes they are free to the general public. Seating is a little old school & the rows are on the long side so you have to scoot across a lot of people if it is a full house. I definitely recommend checking out a film here.

Came here for a Film Independent at LACMA series film screening moderated by Elvis Mitchell. The actual auditorium is a little dated, but still comfortable. The acoustics are pretty good, but I doubt Lucasfilms will want you to view the next Star Wars film there. Stadium seating did not exist at the time this auditorium was built so be aware of that when you choose your seat.
My advice to you is, if you don’t need to see Elvis Mitchell or any of the guests up close, the further back you sit the better the view of the screen will be. There is a slight incline as you move further back into the auditorium so you’ll actually have some elevation difference.
Parking is free after 7pm in the LACMA lot located across Wilshire Blvd, but be aware the guards have a tendency to try to trick you into paying for a ticket upon your exit even if they don’t give you a ticket upon entering. Just be aware of that.

Came here for a nice classical concert last night.
The theater/​Auditorium was well presented and lots of seats.
The accoustice of the auditorium is somewhat good.
The performer Axel Strauss (Violon) and Eric Le Van (Pinaist) was awsome.
They did a 50 mins show with a great ending applause.
This is a nice Auditorium to be used for any theatrical as well as musical events if you’re looking for a place to host your event.
