Luminario Ballet of Los Angeles is a very unique and valuable, strong and powerful Dance Company. They offered up two fantastic evenings of Dance, Song, Music and a Q&A, last weekend at Club Fais Do Do, and this past weekend at the Skirball Center, in conjunction with a Fashion Exhibit of Rudy Gernreich's '60s fashions that tied in perfectly with the 2nd dance piece presented that evening. The costumes used in 'Inscape,' were originally created by Rudi Gernreich at the same time the piece was set, in 1976. 'Choose Your Identity' June 16, 2019 The evening began with singer Tawny Ellis and her band, performing several selections from her new upcoming album release 'Love Life.' Dressed in a beautiful, flowing, lacy white dress, she looked like an angel and sang like one, playing her matching white Lap Steel and omni chord instruments with a passionate, down-to-earth country sound that was soothingly sultry, with lyrics that commanded your attention. She and her talented band played selections from her upcoming release; one of them being 'Pretend Love,' which was accompanied by a beautiful dance, choreographed by the Artistic Director, Judith FLEX Helle, performed by the incredible Kelly Vittetoe, an extraordinary soloist, en pointe, accompanied by David Tai Kim and Cory Goel. The strongest ballerina I have ever seen, (Ms. Vittetoe) that up-close; performing magnificently, with one of the most beautiful bodies, face and feet, ever. She is exquisite, and her two partners were also equally impressive. The exactness of technique performed by all three dancers was just heavenly. Up close and personal. What a treat!

When Magic Mike Live in London first went on sale in June, most of the shows for the first six months of the run at the Theatre at the Hippodrome Casino sold out within five days and in September Channing Tatum and his co-producers released an extra 10,000 tickets, including for some extra shows in January. It has now been decided that at 1.00pm each Monday, beginning Monday 5 November 2018, Magic Mike Live will release a certain amount of tickets that have been held for producers and creatives. People will be able to purchase these tickets either in person at the theatre's new box office on Cranbourn Street or online from www.magicmikelondon.co.uk.

For more than thirty-three years Frank Ferrante has been channeling Groucho Marx. His highly- acclaimed one-man show, 'An Evening with Groucho' has triumphed in New York, London, Australia, and across the U.S., as well as on PBS. Ferrante's tour-de-force stays fresh and fascinating because it relies so heavily on improv and audience interaction that, twelve-hundred shows later, no two performances are alike.

As a result of unprecedented demand, with most of the shows for the first six months of the run sold out, Channing Tatum and his co-producers have decided to release close to 10,000 previously held tickets for Magic Mike Live in London. This release includes tickets for every single performance currently on sale and 20 additional performances added to the month of January. This will be the final opportunity to purchase tickets for many of these early performances. In addition, a limited number of seats for the show's official opening on 28 November 2018 are being released so that fans of the show have the opportunity to be a part of that once-in-a-lifetime event. Tickets go on sale at 12.00noon tomorrow, Wednesday 19 September, from www.magicmikelondon.co.uk.
