Suppertime
Hollywood’s Zany New Supper Club
You’ve been saying it for awhile now:
Hollywood could really use a solid dose of pure Amsterdam insanity.
Little did you know what power you truly wield…
Welcome to
Supperclub, a crazy Hollywood theater of dinner, dancing, performance art and hula
hoops, officially grand opening tomorrow, 20 years after the Amsterdam original’s debut.
You’ll find it on Hollywood Boulevard, so between that and the fact that this is from Holland, it
shouldn’t surprise you that this starts with a permanent red carpet in the lobby.
Follow it to a cocktail lounge, where everything is red except
your starting
round of Black Pearl
Gibsons (gin, vermouth and a squid ink-infused onion).
Then you’re ready for the main event―step into
the blindingly white main
room of the old Vogue theater to find your table. And by table, we mean giant bed. Get your pillows
arranged and don’t worry about the menu. Because there isn’t one.
You’ll get four courses, but you won’t know whether you’re getting
Bacon-Wrapped Pork Loin
until a screen rises to reveal what the chef is making you. Because, naturally, he’ll be doing his cooking
onstage.
And as restaurant-theater becomes nightclub-theater, the stage (and the floor, and the ceiling) will be
taken over by an always-changing mix of musicians, painters, DJs… and the occasional limber woman dangling
above the dance floor from a hula hoop.
This has
Hudsucker Proxy 2 written all over it.
