Channeling Hollywood’s artfully scandalous era of prohibition, the Emerson Theatre conjures the raw decadence of a speakeasy, seductively infused with contemporary burlesque. Upon entrance, you are met with an assemblage of marquee lights that create an intoxicating ambiance throughout the venue. Ascend the grand staircases flanked by towering velvet curtains into the heart of the theater where your night of stylish revelry begins. Weds., Fri., 9:30 p.m.-2 a.m. 7080 Hollywood Blvd., L.A., 323.525.2453. emersontheatre.com
