Jacques Heim is the founder of Diavolo, and his credits include choreographer for Cirque du Soleil’s KA. His experience has helped craft a show that fuses dance, story, and movement, resulting in a raw and chaotic performance that must be seen to be believed.

Brassroots District: LA ’74 will be in Los Angeles beginning on February 7, 2026.

“So we have built a show that basically allows you to live your funkiest ’70s dreams,” said Andrew Leib, the co-creator of the experience. “It’s about a band on the rise in early ’70s Los Angeles. They’re all over the airwaves. They’re climbing the charts. They’re selling out venues all over town. And you have been invited as an attendee to their album release show. And just as if you were to go to an album release show in real life, you’re listening to the music of the band, you’re getting really excited, you come to the show, and you might meet some folks and characters of the venue. You might meet the band’s manager, Nancy, who comes up to you and says, ‘Hey, you should come backstage. Do you want to meet the band?’ Or maybe you’ll meet Cassie the Brassy, the head of the fan club.”

Audiences will get to dive deep into the band members’ dynamic, along with experiencing the happenings of the time.

“It’s about a band on the rise,” Leib explained. “It’s about interpersonal relationships between band members and characters. It’s about the time period with politics and race relations and culture and fandom and music. It’s about all of that stuff, and it’s pretty in your face.”

The show features all original funk and soul music. Inspirations include Sly & The Family Stone; KC and The Sunshine Band; James Brown; Earth, Wind & Fire; and more.

Audiences are encouraged to immerse themselves in this ’70s world.

“You get to experience this whole universe, and we invite you into it,” the co-creator added. “Audiences dress up. They put away their phones. We put them in these blackout bags. And so it’s a no-phone experience. And in lieu of no phones, we have professional photographers roaming around the venue, snapping you as you’re dancing and interacting with characters, and we upload them right after the show for you to share. Those will be filtered in our universe. No show would be the same for any attendee because you can go down the rabbit hole of a character and be pulled in a certain direction.”

Brassroots District: LA ’74, an immersive theater & concert experience, will have shows on February 7, 14, 20, 28, March 7, 14, 20, 28. Tickets are available at https://www.brassrootsdistrict.com/.

We had the chance to chat with the performers of Dungeons & Dragons The Twenty-Sided Tavern, which included Jasmin Malave, Conner Marx, and R. Alex Murray.

“Part of it is live theater and all the spectacle you expect from live theater,” Marx tells Nerd Reactor. “Part of it is genuinely playing D&D on stage. Part of it is improv. We never know exactly what will happen. One night to the next, every show is different.”

For those not in the know of Dungeons & Dragons, it’s a tabletop role-playing game where a group of players and a Dungeon Master tell stories set in a fantasy world filled with monsters, magic and heroes. The dice decides whether they succeed or fail on certain actions. In The Twenty-Sided Tavern, audience members get to choose the players’ course of action using their phones.

“And then part of it is the audience playing along with us,” Murray added. “And they’re part of the improvisational spark, but they give us names for NPCs, and also they just heckle us like we’re doing in stand-up, and then they also have the Gamiotics software that we use to have them play along. So audiences are helping with the aid of their phone. They play mini games to boost roles, and they decide if we’re going to go left to right or if we’re going to punch a guy or kiss a guy. That’s all the audience.”

D&D is known for its crunchy combat, where the battle slows down as players take turns deciding how to defeat the enemies using magic and weapons, and then letting the dice rolls and their stats dictate the outcome. (This was the inspiration for turn-based combat in video game RPGs.) The live show moves at a quicker pace by simplifying the encounters.

“Instead of doing rounds and rounds and rounds of combat, everyone gets a turn, and the more successes over losses, whoever did well – there’ll be three on one side and two on the other – the one with three successes wins,” Malave explained. “And so we just make it very simple in that way. We can expedite the process. D&D fans get a little bit of combat, but people who don’t know anything about it and don’t know the move sets can still enjoy it.”

With the Twenty-Sided Tavern coming to Los Angeles, expect some special guests from the video game and tabletop RPG world, including Neil Newbon (Baldur’s Gate 3), Erika Ishii (Ghost of Yotei), Devora Wilde (Baldur’s Gate 3), Aabria Iyengar (Critical Role, Dimension 20), and Anjali Bhimani (Overwatch, Ms. Marvel).

“There’s going to be second-act walk-on guests like every single night,” Malave said. “It’s a party.”

“Yeah, it’s going to be a party,” Murray added. “And I very often tell people like you love the show and you came once it was great. And then you come and see it again, and you really realize how different it is the second time. And then that’s when people get obsessed and start coming back and seeing it four, five, six times. I think we’ve got a couple of people who are well into 50 shows, like repeat guests. And I think LA, every night is going to be something special and spectacular, and that it won’t ever happen again.”

Delusion is an immersive and interactive horror theater experience, and this year’s Delusion: Harrowing of Hell is a new chapter that promises an unforgettable experience with twists and terror, leaving guests questioning reality itself. With the new location at the Variety Arts Theater, expect a spooky good time. (I still remember experiencing the immersive and interactive Purge show, and that theater was used to great effect.)

The upcoming show will run from September 18th through November 9th on select nights. Tickets are now on sale starting at $112.99 on select nights at enterdelusion.com.

I can’t say it or hear it enough. There really is nothing in the world like Delusion. And after this season, Delusion will be the longest-running immersive theater experience in the world (go ahead and fact check me but it’s a waste of your time!),” said Creator of Delusion Jon Braver. “In the end, we are all about ADVENTURE! So come join us for another otherworldly experience (and see this new creature you will never, ever forget).

Synopsis: This season, “Delusion: Harrowing of Hell” explores a supernatural cult that has taken the metaphors of Dante’s Inferno too far. Convinced that the circles of hell are a necessary preparation for the afterlife, the Devotees of the Path claim to be conduits between worlds and guardians over the gates of hell. Will you follow the inscription on the arched entryway leading to the belly of the Pagan’s Path and abandon all hope? To take the Path is to endure a reflection of mortal weakness and sin. If one can survive, then paradise awaits.

The newly added upgrade experience, The Delusional: Devil in the Details, will have guests seeing the behind-the-scenes experience, including seeing up close the transformation of characters, creatures and set design. The add-on includes a backstage tour, VIP venue entrance, reserved lounge area and a collectible credential.

Delusion is located at the Variety Arts Theater, 940 S Figueroa St., Los Angeles, CA 90015

The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor

The Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor: Summoned by the Seas will terrorize guests in Long Beach from September 19th to November 2nd on select nights, with tickets starting at $45.99. Guests can expect to see Dark Harbor’s monsters, mazes, live entertainment, speakeasies, and haunted lounges.

Check out the list and official descriptions of Dark Harbor mazes below:

Voodoo: The Queen’s Curse – New! A ruthless Priestess rises from a decayed bayou to seize the Queen Mary’s power, commanding Loa, raising the dead, and marking anyone who strays too close. Stumble through potion shops, coffin factories, and poppet-stuffed shacks before a barnstorming finale where lightning crackles overhead and zombie sailors surge below.

Breakout: Maximum Security – reimagined for 2025! The mystery of stateroom B340 takes a brutal turn in 1948: Samuel the Savage survives and is hauled to a seaside village prison, until he shatters his cell with unnatural force. You’re processed as the new inmate while alarms scream, guards fall, and Samuel hunts. Can the walls hold him… or you?

Feast: The Final Cut – reimagined for 2025! Step behind the ship’s kitchens for the twisted origin of The Chef, once a handsome, ambitious butcher who grew resentful of first-class passengers and added a “special ingredient” no one could quite place. Winding deeper, you’ll hit blood-slick restrooms, a pantry stacked with plates… and body parts, before the stoves roar to life and victims simmer. This is the final year of Feast, reimagined with a more cannibalistic climax that leads to a grotesque classroom banquet.

Big Top Terror – Step right up to a cursed carnival where the Ringmaster, no longer man nor woman, bartered their soul for immortality and now feeds a fog-soaked circus that traps the unwary.

Infirmary – A maniacal surgeon, Dr. Edwin Masters, and his accomplice Graceful Gale prey on the ship’s most vulnerable, masquerading as high-society darlings topside while their victims pile up below.

Lullaby – In the glow of the first-class swimming pool, Scary Mary returns, playful giggles masking a vortex to the underworld that’s grown too powerful to contain. Born from a 1952 tragedy, Mary once tugged sleeves to keep the living away; now the rift’s demons twist her into the singer of your final lullaby.

Other fun activities include Pirate’s Plunder Shootout, Anchor Axe, a mini escape room, S’mores Package, and carnival rides.

The Foresight Four Pack premium experience includes The Summoning of Samuel séance with Lady Mabel and access to the speakeasies throughout Dark Harbor.

The RIP Guided Tour includes early entry, front-of-the-line privileges, and a personal guide to escort you through all six mazes and into the exclusive sanctums: Observation Deck and Captain’s Club.

What can fans anticipate at the DC Heroes and Villains Fest? Activities include watching the parade, eating DC-inspired food, interacting with your favorite DC characters, and watching fun shows with dancing and DC heroes and villains duking it out. In addition, guests can go on rides, including the many DC rides such as Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage, Batman: The Ride, Lex Luthor and more.

“We started this event last year, and the whole thing was that we’ve got this great partnership with Warner Bros. to bring Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and all these people to life,” said Mike Ostrom, the head of entertainment and events at Six Flags Magic Mountain. “And we wanted to do that in a way that guests could really become part of a story with them, to really interact with them.”

“So that’s how we started this last year, and then this year we wanted to just blow that out of proportion,” he continued. “All night long from 5 pm to closing, there’s something for you to do, someone for you to interact with, a superhero to meet, a villain to join, or something like that all throughout the evening. It’s all driven by creating an immersive guest experience where they get to be part of the DC Universe.”

Shows

On the left side near the entrance of the DC Universe-themed area, there is a sign with the times of the shows. You can also check the Six Flags Magic Mountain app for the times. It can be tricky to navigate the app, but make sure you stay on the app and not click on links that lead you to the website, since the actual app has the showtime at the time of this writing.

The event kicks off with the parade as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman wave to fans on a float with dancers nearby moving to the DC Heroes and Villains Fest theme. The parade ends at the DC Universe theme area on the DC Universe stage for the DC Heroes Bash Cavalcade and the Opening Ceremony. I recommend fans to check out the opening show on the stage as we get to see Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman dealing with the Joker and a mystery villain.

Throughout the evening, there are different villainess shows featuring Catwoman and Harley Quinn. Catwoman’s Purrr-petrators-A-Go-Go showcases her dancers with a retro musical performance. Harley Quinn & The Hyenas dance to popular songs.

Keeping the festivities going is the Joker’s Dance Party with MC Hi-Jinx on the ones and twos. To get the guests engaged, Poison Ivy’s and Joker’s dancers roam around the area. If guests pay attention to the stage, the Clown Prince of Crime would sometimes make an appearance.

The other highly recommended show is the closing act, Superhero Smackdown. Here, fans will get to see the conclusion of the event with the return of Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman as they deal with the Joker, Harley Quinn and their minions.

The Magic of Performances and Voices

Part of the magic in bringing the characters to life was the blend of the performers who look the part and the voice actors who capture the sounds of the heroes and villains. Six Flags Magic Mountain teamed up with WOW Entertainment to help bring these elements together.

“We actually worked with the voiceover people who have done some of the video games and some of the cartoons and had them be the voices of it,” said Mark Brymer, the CEO of WOW Entertainment. “So that was a real exciting event.”

Meet the Heroes and Villains

Fans will get a chance to meet and interact with their heroes. The Joker and Harley Quinn can be seen near the DC Universe entrance, complete with a throne. Batman and Batgirl pose for fans near the Batman: The Ride. Wonder Woman and Superman await fans between the entrances of Batman: The Ride and Wonder Woman: Fight of Courage. Catwoman is also present with her whip across the stage.

Food and Drinks

The heroes have their own food booth with the menu including Knight Wingz (smoked wing over cilantro cabbage slaw), Kansas Farm Roasted Street Corn (spicy fire roasted corn riblets with lime aioli and cotija cheese), the Lighthouse Roll (shrimp salad on a buttery potato roll), and Hero in Training (Strawberry lemondade with pineapple and coconut).

Over on the villains’ booth, there is the Kapow! Pork (Char siu pork with white rice and toasted sesame seeds), Ha! Ha! Ha! Chicken with Clown Sauce (grilled chicken skewer with a tangy cucumber sauce and purple cabbage slaw), Fearless Meatless Meatballs (served with white rice and tzatziki sauce), and Villains in Training (dessert pear soda with cranberry).

The dessert booth has Zingbiffpow marshmallow treats, villain’s special spicy popcorn mix, the diabolically candied apple, and Save the Planet Dippin’ Dots.

Six Flags Magic Mountain’s DC Heroes and Villains Fest runs on Fridays and Saturdays until July 26, 2025. Expect next year’s show to be even bigger!

Many of the performers from The Show of Many Things have worked at Last Call Theatre, a company that prides itself on interactive and immersive storytelling where the guests feel like they’re part of a live show. This year’s show is described as an improv experience that creates an interactive theatre show out of nothing. Imagine a cross between playing Dungeons & Dragons, video games, and LARPing. With those combined, you’ve got a recipe for a very entertaining show.

What’s the Genre?

So what’s the genre? Is it fantasy? Maybe sci-fi? Or what about horror? It can be anything since the genre is randomly chosen at the beginning of the show based on the audience’s choice. The characters and central plot are then improvised by the performers, making each show very unique.

The Show of Many Things is located at The Cat’s Crawl (Main Space, 660 N Heliotrope Dr.). There will be five shows in the month of June, including June 14 at 11:30 am, June 15 at 10 pm, June 21 at 7:30 pm, and June 22 at 8:30 pm.

For tickets, please visit https://www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/12009. All tickets for the show are free online and the production there will be a donation request at the door of at least $12 that goes towards the Black LA Relief & Recovery Fund.

“What can theatre offer the world right now? To me, one of the greatest things we can do as theatre-makers is give people a space to just be free and spark the childlike wonder within all of us. The Show of Many Things is the ultimate playground to get lost in the joy of play, and experience a show that is uniquely yours.” says creative lead Jason Pollak. “Every aspect of the production, from the rehearsal process to the performances to the fact that it’s a fundraiser, is about building, celebrating, and restoring community through laughter and play.”

The Show of Many Things is created by Jason Pollak, stage managed by Murph Elyria, and co-produced by Adam Hassan and Michaela Skaribas. The cast includes Amelia Mackey, Arezu Tavakoli, James Bilinsky, Michelle Takla, Shelby Ryan Lee, & Jason Pollak, with Michaela Skaribas as swing.

The show will debut during Hollywood Fringe in Los Angeles on Friday, June 6. Tickets are available on Hollywood Fringe’s URTV: Pasion Mansion page, and it opens on select nights until Saturday, June 28, 2025.

In UR TV: Passion Mansion, you are the protagonist in the story, and all the characters that you meet will be giving you different tasks in order to progress the story. However, these tasks involve making interactive choices, and they’re not necessarily yes or no choices. There are infinite possibilities where you can say anything, and the actor will take what you say and improvise something for you. This includes games and puzzles.

“So for this show, you’re playing a production assistant on set of a fictional reality TV show,” Baltazar tells Nerd Reactor. “You are given this job by the producers who are characters in the show. You have to play, or you have to manipulate the contestants in order to do your job, but then there are consequences because of that. For this show, we actually try to make it a lot more easy to consume at first in that we have a mix of proscenium scenes and non-proscenium. So you start out sitting in a like a live studio audience as if you’re about to watch a show, and then you’re told, ‘What are you doing?'”

Brit has something big cooking up for Passion Mansion next year, with ambitious plans for guests to participate inside an actual mansion on a 6-hour experience.

“I want it to be like at least the six hour event,” the creator said. “It might end up being like a whole thing. Six hours. Yeah, because you go to the mansion, there’s so much to do. In that world, you don’t have to rush so much. You can come with friends and you can be drinking, be by the pool and get to party more with the contestants. There are actually drinking games in the show. Okay, all right. We have a sponsor that I can’t talk about yet but it is related to drinking.”

You can check out the video interview to hear more details on what Baltazar is planning with the URTV universe and Passion Mansion.

Tickets are available at the Hollywood Fringe URTV: Passion Mansion Page.

About URTV: Passion Mansion

Synopsis: Passion Mansion is a bold new interactive play that’s set in a heightened version of our own world. It’s a parody universe (or is it?) that worships the screen, offering players as sacrifices for the machine, aka the Television. The show was born in the flashy grit of Los Angeles’ entertainment industry, and will receive a baptism by fire in the 2025 Hollywood Fringe Festival. Which is all to say, LA is the only place that can stage the spirit of Passion Mansion. It was while attending a speed dating event in this very city, that the idea came to the show’s creator Brit Baltazar. Such a gathering set against the backdrop of The Times We Live In eventually brought to mind the cultural phenomenon that is reality television -specifically dating competition shows. These shows serve as collective guilty pleasures, ones we indulge in the melodramas of to forget the horrors of our real world. But this inevitably calls into question the “reality” that is presented in reality TV. How real can you get when you’re helping people forget? And what is the cost of maintaining the illusion?

For Passion Mansion, the goal is to bring the audience into this reality. The choose-your-own-adventure format gives audience members, “production assistants”, a say in the typically engineered narrative of a reality television show. Eventually, by unlocking special plot points through their decisions, they can uncover the traumatic and unethical horrors that take place behind the scenes of this scene. In a world ruled by money, industry bigwigs commodify hot & horny people’s lives for entertainment in exchange for fame and success. It’s ultimately up to the audience to either support or retaliate against this toxic system.
