THE GALA GRAND OPENING OF ORIGEN’S CHINESE PLAYHOUSE: The Pink Vampire To Open Origen’s Chinese Playhouse May 18th at 7pmSLT

When The Pink Vampire opened The Bowl at Origen’s Hollywood Venues, 105 guests filtered through the venue that night. We are expecting the same for the opening of Origen’s Chinese Playhouse on May 18th at 7pm SLT.

The Pink Vampire returns to Hollywood for this Gala Grand Opening, with what promises to be an amazing show. Pink is known for her fantastic vocals and perfect song selections ranging from jazz to pop and romance to sensual. Her musical stylings and performances are impeccable, giving her audiences the best musical experience in Second Life. Pink, who was voted one of the top three vocalists in the 2015 Live Music Awards, says she has a lot of surprises for this show and she won’t share what she has in store with anyone. We will just have to be there to see what she has planned.

Origen’s Chinese Playhouse is based on the blueprints and photos of the original 1927 version of Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, California, and the likeness is incredible. Origen says that builder Dextresis Dejavu was meticulous and obsessive about creating a version true to the original. The theater is equipped with a full working stage that is fully modifiable for singers, dance troupes and other live performances.

Origen says that only 85 guests will be allowed on the region, so it is suggested that guests come early before each show and explore McArthur Park across the street from the theater (created by Sammie Haworth-Masters), take a stroll down Hollywood Boulevard’s Walk of Fame, or enjoy the hand and foot prints of the stars in the cement in the theater’s courtyard before the show.

So, come early to get the best seats and don’t miss this one of a kind performance at Origen’s Chinese Playhouse on Hollywood Blvd in Second Life.

Harry returns to Origen’s Hollywood Venues, but this time as part of the Hollywood family. Harry will be performing for his fans every other Tuesday night at The Bowl. Harry Frychester is famous for his smooth jazz vocals and styling; but he is not limited to that, offering pop and country western for his audience’s enjoyment.

The Bowl build is based on an early version of The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. The build in Sl at Origen’s Hollywood Venues is the perfect romantic destination. The venue will easily hold 100 avatars. It has also been tweaked for the midnight setting on your viewer.

This just in from the Hollywood Investigator –

Dateline – Hollywood, CA

THE GRAND OPENING OF THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL IN SL!

The Gala Grand Opening of The Hollywood Bowl in Second Life is set for January 2nd at 7pm, SLT. This fabulous event will star Second Life’s premier vocalist, The Pink Vampire. She will be performing 11 new songs that she has prepared just for this event; that is almost 3/4 of her show. There will be dance numbers choreographed by the amazing and talented Shadow Tarber. We also expect the rumors about a spectacular pyrotechnics show are true, too (I just love fireworks).

The owner of The Hollywood Ballroom, Origen Resident, was asked about opening this venue, “Why here and why now?” Origen commented, “The Pink Vampire forced my hand. The crowds coming to her shows are so big, The Hollywood Ballroom simply can’t hold them anymore. During her last show, we had to turn people away. So, we set up a make shift sound system outside the ballroom and people were dancing on Hollywood Blvd. With The Hollywood Bowl we have room for everyone who wants to attend her performance and many other performances that will be held there.”

This is a special event and invitations are being sent out to all of the A-listers in town. The Paparazzi is sure to be sneaking around (I know, I’m sending them), so wear your best formal and cocktail attire; you want to look good for our society page.
