Kate Pazakis Dishes on The Unauthorized Musical Parody of Mean Gurlz at Rockwell: Table & Stage

| January 3, 2017

“LOS FELIZ — Kate Pazakis loves the film ‘Mean Girls’ so much that she has written a ‘love letter’ about it.

‘The Unauthorized Musical Parody of Mean Gurlz’ — with performances at Rockwell: Table & Stage in Los Feliz from Thursday to April 15 — is adapted from the 2004, Tina Fey cult film starring Lindsay Lohan as Cady Heron. The home-schooled student is a hit with The Plastics, the A-list girl clique at her new high school, but that sudden popularity is short lived when she makes the monumental mistake of falling for Aaron Samuels, the ex-boyfriend of alpha Plastic Regina George.”

Lisa Vanderpump Reveals Her Predictions for 2017

| December 19, 2016

“I recruited Lisa Vanderpump, the restaurant-owning star of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Vanderpump Rules, who has delivered such hard truths as “People are replaceable, and they need to know that,” and “You’re not important enough to hate.” She gets her intel not from big data but from real people. “When you’re in the restaurant industry, you’re around a lot of people and get a great pulse reading. I hear things before they hit the tabloids. I see the person out of rehab who orders a Diet Coke with a slip of vodka in it,” she explained. Unlike Nate Silver, she won thousands of dollars in bets with friends by predicting that Trump would win, based on what she heard drunk people saying.”

UMPO Home Alone and Chef Wayne’s Menu Dazzle at Rockwell: Table & Stage

| December 16, 2016

“The combination of food and entertainment isn’t particularly new, but doing both things well at any given time, and adapting to the needs of the modern patron, is an art. Rockwell: Table & Stage has taken the concept of dinner theatre, updated it, and yet not strayed too far from what constitutes a wholly comfortable and satisfying experience. Chef Wayne Elias, who is the undisputed wizard behind the grand success of Rockwell, has created a mouth-watering menu and mobilized a team who ensure that the cuisine and crafted cocktails balance seamlessly with the myriad of integrated stage productions.

While several of these shows are presented by For the Record Live – which pays homage to the characters and soundtracks of famous film directors – several of them are inclusive of the very popular Unauthorized Musical Parody Series. In effect, the UMPO series, as it’s known for short, has hysterically satirized movies with some of the greatest pop-culture impact, including “The Devil Wears Prada,” “The Big Lebowski,” and “Hocus Pocus,” to name a few. Performed in the midst of the diners – not only on a conventional stage, but on a walkway, and in between strategically placed nooks, the audience feels as if it is a part of a rip-roaringly eccentric adventure.”

How the Orlando Massacre Changed Reality TV’s ‘Rules’

Lisa Vanderpump awoke the morning of June 12 feeling anxious.

The reality television star was set to film her Bravo show, ‘Vanderpump Rules,’ during the Gay Pride Parade in West Hollywood. Furthermore, she owns two restaurants in the heart of the predominantly gay neighborhood: SUR (the setting of ‘Rules) and Pump. It was going to be an intense day.

Then she got the news: 49 people — mostly LGBT — were gunned down at the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando hours earlier, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.”
