That’s Entertainment! Downtown L.A. : NYC Eat your apple and choke
Critics agree; Urban Expeditions is “Visually stunning”. “Show stopping performances!” “The ride of your life!” This month’s Urban Expeditions’ episode, “That’s Entertainment! Downtown L.A.”, is a tautly wound drama starring Downtown Los Angeles. It airs Saturday, Sept 20th, at 1:00PM at Union Station in Downtown L.A.--don’t miss a moment of it. Downtown L.A. is haggard, gritty and desperate for a comeback. Can she reclaim her place as the queen of L.A., or is she destined to be just another forgotten has-been? From Hollywood film premiers, to famous entertainers who played there, Downtown L.A. played grand hostess to any star-studded event worth its weight in marble and gold leaf. Take an intimate look inside the life of Downtown’s Theater District and her storied past. Flash back to an era of limitless possibilities and an endless parade of stars. Before there was Hollywood, there was Downtown. What got Charlie Chaplin hot under the collar at the Los Angeles theater? Why was Duke Ellington receiving death threats at the Mayan? From her rise to fame, to her humiliating flops, you’ll fall in love with Downtown’s indomitable spirit. C.I.C.L.E. presents you with an all-new family fun episode of Urban Expeditions, sponsored by REI. From Vaudeville, to talkies, to the start of TV, you’ll immerse yourself in this edge-of-your-seat story of love, greed and tragedy, plus a little slapstick thrown in for comic relief.
