Comments: This beautiful 1927 theater is an all-Disney house - I believe they paid for the beautiful restoration. For now, I'll let the picture be the review.

The theater is currently hosting "Hercules" with a live show and whatnot; tickets are expensive and many of the good seats are reserved seats (for more money still). Call ahead and check.

A rarity these days - El Cap is open, still with "Hercules", but without the live show, so the prices don't stink too badly. If you've never seen this place, do so now.

I can remember a time when where we went to the movies was just as important as the movies we went to see .... From the moment moviegoers arrived to buy their tickets, there was a sense of something special, a feeling that to step inside was to enter another time and place. - Gene Kelly
