Like most cities, Los Angeles dresses up in glitter for the holidays and rolls out some celebratory activities. Here are a few that look good; watch for our next reviews.
“Shambles” – The Actors Gang
Billed as “an unbridled concoction of seasonal charm and sassy trickery, all wrapped up in circus-soaked panto,” this all-ages production is presented by Culver City’s esteemed troupe. “This immersive experience immerses theatergoers in a 1960s NASA Christmas party complete with alien abductions, ugly Christmas sweaters and unlimited champagne as theatergoers wander through rooms of wonder organised.” Thanks to the creative efforts of Cirque du Soleil’s Stefan Haves, the show promises to both alter even the most stuffy holiday traditions and generate laughs along the way.

Another circus-style family activity is offered in the coming days. Hostess Lucy Darling takes you through an evening of dazzling entertainers and jaw-dropping circus performers, accompanied by your favorite holiday music performed live.

“A Christmas Carol” – Parson’s Nose Theater

A Christmas with the Bocelli family

Of course, if you want to stay home, you can watch this latest addition to the Christmas (TV?) specials. On December 4, the Bocelli family will perform at a major global event in partnership with YouTube. Andrea and her 25-year-old son Matteo and her 10-year-old daughter Virginia will be the protagonists of a fairy tale, a concert and a shared event, organized between the Castle and the streets of Gressoney. The charming celebration of togetherness will also be available on TBN from December 16e. YouTube Premium subscribers will also have access to an afterparty with exclusive content from “A Bocelli Family Christmas”.
