Legally Blonde the Musical

Legally Blonde, now a stage play, based on the motion picture which had loveable Reese Witherspoon starring in it, has come to the Pantages Theater.

The theater was build as part of the Pantages' Vaudeville circuit, buy the "Great Depression", caused it to become a movie palace.

The W Hotel has completed it's construction of a large hotel and residence complex just across the street from the Pantages and that should provide needed revenue for live stage productions in Los Angeles.

A Week of Darkness - part 2

This is the Cheers of Hollywood. Hollywood, taken as an area of Los Angeles, does not have a lot of bars. Restaurants that have bars and Nightclubs that have bars, it has a-plenty. But not your local. The Frolic Room is the exception. It's got locals hanging out nightly. This bar is in the Pantages Theater building and often people waiting to see a stage play will wander in there and have a drink while waiting for the show to start. Otherwise, it's just a place for locals who like to spend their time where everybody knows their name.
