Event Report: "The Best of Las Vegas" Turned This Evening Into An Immersive Experience

-

EW's Stage Manager Ann Friday, VP & Executive Producer  Kristen Rensch and EPlus Productions' Event Producer Eddie Morales

The Event: 
Reception & Dinner Party with non-stop entertainment  for a Japanese group.
Date: June 6, 2018
Location: The Chelsea at Cosmopolitan Las Vegas
Guest Count: 350

The Challenge: 
Creating experiential, immersive non-stop entertainment for an international group that included children.



Kristen Rensch: "Our client requested entertainment segments for many aspects of the evening consisting of a reception and a dinner show at The Chelsea.
10 Cirque-themed costumed characters created an immersive environment upon guests' entry. Photo ops with the characters provided interactive moments.
A few weeks before the event the client asked us to create a custom skit that company executives could participate in to greet and warm up the audience. This technique of introducing the executives, much in the manner of audience participation, into a stage act brought a comedic moment to the soiree and served to humanize the executives. The guests applauded the executives' efforts as they performed dance moves and a magic act.

The professional performances took place on the main stage and a center riser we installed in the room.
We added talent activations on the central riser to entertain guests during dinner courses between main stage acts, and to create a truly immersive environment for the event.

We completely customized the main entertainment acts with video and musical score for the evening, consisting of Cirque acts and a Michael Jackson-themed show.

The guests ranged in age from young children to mature adults. We were thrilled to be able to bring this custom show to the family audience. Las Vegas shows require a minimum age, children cannot attend. Our audience's youngest were excited to be able to join in this experience."




Atmospheric performers filled the theatre during show breaks.



The famous Michael Jackson Anti-Gravity Dance, perfected by EPlus Productions' dancers. How is it done? Our lips are sealed. But you may google.

Our guests loved the evening-filling entertainment. Our audience was excited and got up and danced along.

A big thanks for Bernie Gaps for custom designing themed centerpieces for the event.

We are very happy to have surpassed our client's expectations.

Thank you for reading.

Site Report from The Fabulous Forum in Inglewood

We recently had a Fabulous Tour of the Fabulous Forum, courtesy of our friend Jill Przelenski, Director, Special Events & Family Entertainment. In a nutshell: the re-invented Forum deserves the media hype it received. Eagles' Glenn Frey exclaimed: “The Forum is the best sounding large building anywhere in the world. Take my word for it, we’ve played them all.” It also offers exquisite event space possibilities that allow us to create a VIP Experience of any size! The legendary Forum Club serves as special entrance for private and corporate events. It's a VIP Experience from the first moment onward as this area has special parking privileges and street access.  Painting and maintenance crews were hard at work inside and outside of  the new hall that reopened in January 2014.  Jill Przelenski: "We don't allow any wear and tear. Paint, carpets, furnishings - everything gets lots of attention and is constantly updated." Forum Red, inspire

San Luis Obispo Museum of Art - wrapped in The Red Line by Doron Gazit. Since we last checked in with Doron Gazit, the artist and industrial designer has lined multiple locations in California with The Red Line and his art work is currently on exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art as well as The Loft at Liz's in Los Angeles. He is being mentioned in one breath with Cristo! We look forward to working with Doron to wrap an environmentally themed event. We were happy to report on The Red Line at the Dead Sea in September 2015. In the 8 months since, Doron has installed his environmental awareness art project in several locations in drought ravaged California. As always The Red Line concept highlights the impact of Global Warming on the environment. In December of 2015, The Red Line snaked through the Pyramid Lake burn area, just North of Los Angeles. Doron Gazit: "After my Red Line installation in the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, I continued to draw the line

Love was on the air last night on ABC's 20th Anniversary Valentine's Day Special of The Bachelor; also covered by People Magazine. The floral decor was designed and created by none other than our floral designer Rebecca Fernandez Motus. We are really proud of Rebecca Motus' achievement: designing and creating all the florals for this primetime TV event! Rebecca: "I met the producers of the show through a friend who recommended me when they were looking for a designer to create the floral decor for this 20th anniversary extravaganza. It was a wonderful opportunity to show my work to millions of people. The special was filmed at the St. Regis Monarch Beach and as everything in television, it took many, many hours to produce this 2-hour special. I spent five days on set, building the floral decor. And those 5 nights were pretty much sleepless. Many days we worked until midnight and I had to get to the Downtown Flower Market by 3AM to get fresh flowers. However, des
