El Rey Theatre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The El Rey Theatre is currently a live music venue in the Miracle Mile area of the Mid-Wilshire region in Los Angeles, CA. This art-deco building was designed by Clifford A. Balch (who designed over 20 classic art-deco movie theaters around Southern California). Much of the theater still retains its art-deco roots.
The El Rey was originally built in 1936 as a single-screen movie theater and functioned as a movie theater for nearly 50 years. From the 1980s to the early 1990s the El Rey Theatre was a dance-music club called Wall Street, but since 1994 this theater has been a live music venue.
The El Rey is exclusively booked through Goldenvoice Concerts.
The theater was designated as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 520 on February 26, 1991.
