Review of The Hollywood Bowl

My first time at the Hollywood Bowl was when I saw...

My first time at the Hollywood Bowl was when I saw Madame Butterfly during college. For an outdoor venue, the acoustics are good and the lighting effects are cool. Then I saw the Tchaikovsky Spectacular, with fireworks, which was AWESOME.
The best is seeing John Williams in action during the Summer. I've seen him the past 5 years with the Los Angeles Philharmonic. His music is legendary, from Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Jaws, Schindler's List, Memoirs of a Geisha, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter, just to name a few.
Any seat has a great view. I'd recommend the super seats or if you can splurge a bit, a terrace box or garden box (I've sat in all sections except a garden box).
