NEW Venue, CineVita, Brings Live Cinema Soundtrack Experience To Hollywood Park: “Escaping Into the Golden Age Of Cinema Is Pure Magic.”
“There’s a CineVita coming to town.
Theatrical production group For the Record is launching the “live cinema” venue at Hollywood Park near SoFi Stadium in the new year. On Jan. 21, CineVita will open doors by hosting its debut show, Tarantino | Pulp Rock, an homage to auteur Quentin Tarantino. The show — designed to bring Tarantino’s “cinematic universe to life in a high-octane 360-degree concert experience,” courtesy of a live band and artists — mixes notable scenes and soundtracks from all nine of his films: Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Jackie Brown, Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds, Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Tarantino | Pulp Rock is directed and adapted by Anderson Davis with music supervision and arrangements by Jesse Vargas, choreography by Sumie Maeda and costume design by Steve Mazurek. CineVita’s design team includes lighting design by Emmy winner Mike Berger and sound design by Tony Award nominee Joshua Reid.
CineVita is housed in what’s referred to as a Belgian Spiegeltent (Dutch for mirror tent), a 15,000-square-foot, hand-crafted space featuring 3,000 hand-beveled mirrors, hand-cut stained glass windows and ornate wood-carved detailing. It’s constructed by the Rik Klessens family in collaboration with the West Coast Spiegeltents and Emmy Award-winning designer Matt Steinbrenner, who serves as For The Record’s long-time resident scenic designer.
CineVita posts up in Los Angeles through mid-summer and then will set forth on a national tour across the United States. After the Tarantino show, For the Record will shift focus to other high-profile directors like John Hughes, Baz Luhrmann, the Coen brothers, Paul Thomas Anderson, Martin Scorsese, Robert Zemeckis, and Garry and Penny Marshall by pulling from its catalog of shows. One of those productions, the Luhrmann installment, starred Demi Moore‘s daughter Rumer Willis.
“For over a decade, I’ve watched For The Record grow into something truly special — an inventive, nostalgic celebration of cinema and music,” Moore said in a statement. “When Rumer first joined this talented group of artists, I saw firsthand the sense of community and creativity they fostered. Now, with CineVita, that vision has reached new heights. The idea of stepping into a beautiful, handcrafted tent and escaping into the golden age of cinema is pure magic. It’s a nostalgic journey through our favorite films, but it’s also about something deeper — bringing people together to share a common experience, much like the movies have always done. I’m so proud to help bring this unique vision to life and service audiences across the country from LA to NY and beyond.”
Added SoFi Stadium and Hollywood Park’s vp of programming and booking Jen Sandstrom: “Hollywood Park was envisioned as a premier destination for unforgettable events, and we are thrilled to add the world premiere of CineVita to this dynamic space. This genre-defying experience will transport our community and visitors alike into the golden age of cinema through live performances, celebrating the arts and further establishing Hollywood Park as a vibrant destination.”
Tickets, which range from $49-$225, go on sale to the public on Dec. 6 at 10 a.m., with a special pre-sale starting today. CineVita also offers an elevated option courtesy of the Moët & Chandon VIP experience that will feature premier seating, table service, complimentary champagne and European-inspired treats, curated by DLS Events. CineVita is located at 1248 S. District Drive in Inglewood near the Shops at Hollywood Park.” – Hollywoodreporter.com
