Get transported back to the roaring 20's as Rockwell: Table & Stage (www.rockwell-la.com) is transformed into the world of Gatsby for a one-night-only New Year's Eve extravaganza. Your evening begins with a three-course prix fixe dinner created by chefs Wayne Elias and Martin Gonzalez, followed by a performance of Rockwell's acclaimed For the Record: Baz Luhrmann, where powerhouse performers from music, stage and screen fill the space around you with iconic music and moments from Moulin Rouge, Romeo + Juliet, Strictly Ballroom and The Great Gatsby. After the show, the entire Rockwell: Table & Stage space will be magically transformed into a Gatsby era after-party featuring a live band, along with a decadent buffet and complimentary glass of champagne for the New Year's Eve champagne toast at midnight. For those who'd prefer to skip dinner and the show and go straight to flappering into the night, there's a VIP Party Only option. You will have access to a second-floor VIP salon decked in Gatsby decor, featuring a full buffet, champagne toast, balloon drop and a live band from 9:00pm until the whole party ends at 2:00am.

The sultry, stylish world of "Moulin Rouge" meets the silk-and-diamond decadence of "The Great Gatsby" in "For The Record: Baz Luhrmann" as Lurhmann's best films spring to life before your eyes in this theatrical concert. Powerhouse performers from music, stage and screen fill the space around you with iconic scenes and songs from "Moulin Rouge," "Romeo + Juliet," "Strictly Ballroom" and "The Great Gatsby." In this special holiday extension of the popular For the Record show, Rockwell: Table & Stage will be decked-out with seasonal decor while the back patio will be transformed into a Gatsby-style 1920s' retreat.
