William Shatner Live with Star Trek II at United Theater

Few lines in science-fiction history get quoted as often as the one shouted across a starship bridge in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. On Friday, January 22, 2027, the man who shouted it comes to downtown Los Angeles. William Shatner is billed live on stage alongside the film at the United Theater on Broadway, an evening that puts one of the franchise's best-loved movies in front of a theater full of fans. For anyone building a list of things to do in Los Angeles this winter, it is an easy one to circle.

What to expect

The listing describes the night as William Shatner live on stage with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. That pairing suggests a screening of the 1982 film with the actor appearing in person, but the listing does not spell out a format, so check the Ticketmaster page for the exact running order before you go. The title role of Captain Kirk made Shatner a fixture of pop culture, and Wrath of Khan is the sequel many fans rank at the top of the film series. Seeing it with a live crowd, in a room built for spectacle, is the draw.

Expect a mix of longtime Trekkers and people who simply like a good night out. Costumes are common at events like this, though nothing in the listing says whether the theater has a dress code or a contest, so treat that as a bonus rather than a promise.

The venue

The United Theater on Broadway sits at 929 Broadway, in the stretch of downtown LA known for its historic movie palaces. The building dates to the 1920s and has become one of the neighborhood's busiest rooms for live shows and screenings. Broadway has a lot going on after dark, so if you are checking upcoming events Los Angeles has lined up for early 2027, this block deserves a look.

Plan on arriving early. Downtown parking fills up on show nights, and the Metro B and D lines stop at Pershing Square and 7th Street/Metro Center, both a short walk from the theater. Rideshare drop-offs along Broadway can back up right before doors, so give yourself a cushion.
