Alan Cumming at The United Theater on Broadway

Alan Cumming is heading to one of downtown's grandest old movie palaces this winter.

When: Saturday, January 23, 2027, 8:00 PM Where: The United Theater on Broadway, 929 Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90015 Tickets: Sold through Ticketmaster; the listing does not publish a price here

What to expect

The ticket listing files this under arts and theatre and gives the artist's name without a program, so there is no set list or format to quote. Cumming is known for work across theater, film, television and cabaret, and an evening billed under his own name is the kind of show where he is the draw. Check the Ticketmaster page closer to the date for any added details, openers or changes to the schedule.

Planning your night

The listing runs the evening from 8:00 PM, and the end time on the page is a placeholder for midnight rather than a published curtain time. Plan on a typical evening show length and confirm doors with the venue. If you are looking for LA events this weekend, this one is a few weeks out, so tickets are worth checking early. Seats at a room this size vary widely in view and price.

The room

The United Theater is a 1,647-seat 1920s movie palace on Broadway, and it is a big part of why a night here feels like an occasion. Read more about the building in our venue guide to The United Theater on Broadway. Guests aged five and up are welcome unless a show sets its own limit, and every attendee needs a ticket.

Getting there

The theater sits in the Broadway Theater District, a short walk from the Metro B and D Line stop at Pershing Square and the 7th St/Metro Center station. Valet out front costs $25 for event guests, and over 1,200 independently run parking spots sit within walking distance. Bags, purses and clutches, clear ones included, must be 5 x 9 x 2 inches or smaller. Totes, laptop bags and backpacks are not allowed, so travel light.
