Enter The Pink Hotel
Behind Vaudezilla’s performers is an expanding universe of rooms, characters, secrets and interconnected productions known as The Pink Hotel.
Guests may first encounter one artist at a private event, corporate gala or public performance. Over time, they begin noticing recurring characters, objects, locations and stories moving between experiences.
The Pink Hotel allows Vaudezilla to create entertainment that feels richer than a conventional booking.
A performer can become a character.
A cocktail reception can become a scene.
A venue can become another room in the hotel.
And an event can become part of a story your guests continue discussing after the evening ends.
Enter The Pink Hotel and discover the world connecting Vaudezilla’s artists, productions and immersive experiences.
For fully customized events, Vaudezilla can draw from this existing story world or create an entirely new concept around your organization, celebration or brand.
