In the late 1980s I saw “The Untouchables” here on open night. Back then Westwood was very popular and attracted huge crowds. Therefor there was a massive line around the theater to enter. Unfortunately it started to rain. Luckily the National had Split-Leaf Philodendrons planted along its side. My friend improvised rain head gear using the large leaves from the plant and was quickly followed suit by others standing in line. It was quite the a sight.

Mann theatres is toying with the idea of making the National the largest Stadium seating screen in the country. It would cost 5 million for this renovation.Make sure you keep the huge screen. brucec

i’ve only worked here at the national for a few months and i love it. its a fun environment that makes everyone open their eyes and mouth to say “wow” as wide as you can imagine when they come in. i love to see the costumers face when they see the huge seating capacity the theatre has.

At my June visit, I could tell that the National certainly needs refurbishment – at least the seats need to look better. I like the orange color of the auditorium. News indicates light fixtures to be replaced. Why replace very pretty light fixtures that work fine?

The last I heard, the Mann National’s seating capacity was 1112.
