Event Report: Entertainment for an International Audience in Los Angeles

Why is Janet surrounded by cheerleaders?

Our iconic "Lakers" Girls were part of the non-stop entertainment for an event we produced for a European automaker who invited his Chinese VIPs to Los Angeles.

What does it take to bring all of these international aspects under one hat? Angelenos are by nature an international population. We had the pleasure of welcoming clients and guests to the spectacular roof top venue South Park Center in Downtown Los Angeles.

Wow them from the first moment. As guests entered the venue they were greeted by this gorgeous view over Downtown Los Angeles' skyline and evening sky.

EventWorks' producers Alisa Walsh and Elizabeth Brazil took care of the rest.

Alisa Walsh:
“Working with this particular audience was a fun challenge for me!  I have had the opportunity to experience a bit of their culture through my travels and was very proud to see another event come to fruition.  Planning between time zones always adds an extra layer of detail, but the unique requests that we encountered made the task fun and interesting.  These particular clients wanted an entertainment filled evening, and thankfully that is our specialty!”

Elizabeth Brazil:
"What an interesting opportunity to see the perception of what makes iconic American entertainment through another culture’s eyes - and the thrill of being able to provide exactly what they were seeking – it was a fascinating experience. The clients wanted to showcase Americana in very specific ways while also bringing in a bit of their own culture through surprising touches which provided a unique opportunity for our team.
Thanks to Doug Johnson and E Plus, perfectly costumed impersonators added Hollywood star quality and a faux NBA cheerleader dance team kicked everything off with high energy. The Cyr Wheel performance drew much appreciation. Our good friend Jonny Blu added a bit of a surprise for guests when he broke out singing a few popular Chinese songs in Mandarin and even had guests join him singing and dancing on stage. Rounding out the evening, our clients wanted to feature a Country/Folk style performance that created a quieter close to the evening. Thanks to Andy Salmonsen and our friends at NRG, they created the exact vibe that our Chinese clients wanted with a mix of American classics such as Sounds of Silence, Take Me Home Country Roads and wrapping it all up with Hotel California.  It was a fun night to experience our culture through the lens of another and I think all came away from it with a new vision."


With ever growing hotel capacity and new venue options, an international airport with non-stop flights to 101 domestic and 85 international destinations in North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Oceania, our City of Angels is the perfect location to bring global clients together.

We are happy to call Los Angeles home.
