In David Fincher's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (Warner Bros., 2008) the Los Angeles Theatre, 615 S. Broadway, doubles as the Paris Opera House. The film stars Cate Blanchett, Brad Pitt and Tilda Swinton.
Another view onstage at the Los Angeles. The film also uses a shot of the stairs in the main lobby. See the many pages about the Los Angeles Theatre on the Los Angeles Theatres site for hundreds of photos of the building both vintage and recent.
The auditorium of the Orpheum, 842 S. Broadway, doubles as New York City's Majestic Theatre with Cate Blanchett onstage for the ballet in a performance of "Carousel."
A view from onstage at the Orpheum. See the Los Angeles Theatres pages about the Orpheum Theatre for a history of this 1926 vintage vaudeville house along with several hundred photos. It's a design by G. Albert Lansburgh.
