Our experience was amazing! Everything was organized and run efficiently, plus the staff was super friendly. My daughter and I had the most fun time, we could have stayed all day!

Absolutely an amazing experience! I grew up with Barbie and this was a dream come true! There are many rooms and you get to see Barbie’s dream house, a lab, a museum or Barbies, museum of Barbie’s houses, her Camper Van, space shuttle, interactive rooms etc.

Just awesome, my daughter's loved it, a lot of photo opportunities here. A must see if you're a Barbie fan or collector.

Me and my 7 year old girl are Barbie fans and have tons of Barbie toys and this was like a dream come true. It was a beautiful set up and very nicely managed. We also did the build your own barbie activity at the end. My daughter said to me she would never forget

Loved it here!!! Not just for children, a place where a magical world of wonder and dreams come to life. A beautiful place to enjoy and escape the world and have so much fun. My Son really enjoyed it too. I’d definitely recommend going to see it. The staff are polite and courteous too makes it for a wonderful experience…

A really good time for kids and adults. Barbie is iconic and has such a deeply enriching history.

Barbie is opening the doors to her Dreamhouse.

Ahead of Greta Gerwig ‘s highly anticipated and star-studded “Barbie” film, out this July, the entertainment company Kilburn Live and Mattel have teamed up in creating an immersive experience called “World of Barbie” that initially kicked off in Toronto and will now tour across North America through the summer. The experience opens in Los Angeles’s Santa Monica Place on Apr. 14. Tickets are available on the Fever website for $34.50.

Of course, the highlight of the experience is Barbie’s Dreamhouse, where guests will be able to explore the exquisitely designed rooms of the life-size Malibu mansion complete with a patio and pool, and walk-in closets filled with garments from decades of iconic Barbie fashion history.

The Los Angeles run will also feature special events and after-hour celebrations. Starting in late May, 21+ guests will be invited to Sips after Sunset, a recurring event with DJ-driven music and specialty cocktails, while June will see the opening of Pink Carpet Night, where guests will be encouraged to wear their most glamorous, “Barbiecore” attire for a night of live music, dancing and drinks.

Warner Bros. released the official trailer for Gerwig’s “Barbie” film last month. While plot details have been kept tightly under wraps, the film does find Barbie and Ken stuck in the real world, where the former discovers the challenges of being a live woman. Robbie stars opposite Ryan Gosling, who plays Barbie’s longtime boy toy Ken.

Along with Robbie and Gosling, the star-studded cast includes Will Ferrell, Emma Mackey, Connor Swindells, Nicola Coughlan, Emerald Fennell, Kate McKinnon, Michael Cera, Simu Liu, America Ferrera, Ncuti Gatwa and Issa Rae, among many others.

Explore a Vintage Barbie World

Did you know that the Barbie brand is over sixty years old? Conceived by Ruth Handler, the wife of one of the Mattel toy company’s co-founders, Barbie was meant to fill a gap in the market since most toy dolls at this time were representations of infants rather than adults. The first Barbie doll made its debut at New York City’s American International Toy Fair on March 9th, 1959. Barbie quickly took off in popularity after this, selling hundreds of thousands of dolls in just the first year. 

This date is now considered Barbie’s official birthday, and this iconic first doll is now on display at World of Barbie donning Barbie’s iconic black and white striped swimsuit which is also featured in the Barbie movie. There are also plenty of other blasts from the past at World of Barbie. Check out the various pink Corvettes Barbie has driven, explore the evolution of her style over the decades, and reveal the different eras and styles of Barbie’s iconic dreamhouse.    

Grab Some Bespoke Barbie Merch 

No trip to World of Barbie would be complete without a souvenir or two (or three). Fortunately, the World of Barbie has covered all their bases and features an extensive gift shop that’s filled with every conceivable piece of Barbie merchandise you can imagine. You can truly find everything here from cute Barbie mugs, eye-catching Barbie tote bags that will make your grocery runs that much more glamorous, and even sparkly Barbie Christmas ornaments. The ultimate souvenir is a Barbie t-shirt so you can bring the World of Barbie aesthetic with you wherever you go.

The Insta-worthy pop-up will not only include the iconic Dreamhouse, but Barbie’s pink camper van as well.

Barbie is really having a moment right now. With updates on the Barbie movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling keeping fans on their toes and brands releasing their own nostalgic Barbie collabs , Barbiecore is here to stay. If you’re down to take your fandom to the next level, you’ll want to stop by the World of Barbie immersive experience . Last year, People reported that the World of Barbie would be touring U.S. cities like New York, Chicago, and Dallas after its debut in Toronto, and it seems Los Angeles is first.

Aside from Barbie’s Dreamhouse being human-size, there are other activations and Insta-worthy photo moments throughout the experience that any fan will want to see for themselves. You just want to make sure you snag a ticket before they sell out.

Of course, when at Barbie’s house, you definitely want to check out her closet. As you make your way through, you’ll get a chance to see many of her iconic outfits and career uniforms from over the years. You know Barbie is the OG boss babe, so there will be tons to see. If you arrive in Barbiecore style, you’ll have a chance to show off your lewk in the fashion studio. The studio will have a pink carpet you can walk down that is lined with life-size Barbie boxes to step into and take a pic. You may even feel like you’re in *NSYNC’s “It’s Gonna Be Me” music video.

Along with seeing Barbie’s career outfits, you can also pretend to be her. The World of Barbie will have play sets like a space center, where you can snap pics in Barbie’s spaceship with your besties. There will also be a movie theater with Barbie content playing, and a salon with Paul Mitchell products. Afterwards, relax in Barbie’s pink camper van that has a cozy hammock for you to lounge in as you live “life in plastic.”

Exclusive to LA will be special after-hour events happening at the Barbie pop-up. For example, there will be a Pink Carpet Night where guests can wear their best Barbiecore fashion and enjoy a night of dancing, walking the pink carpet, and chowing down at the snack bar. Every Sunday at World of Barbie will be a Movie Day, where Barbie animated movies will be playing in the theater and popcorn will be available.

'World of Barbie' experience making US debut this spring in Los Angeles

Barbie's Dreamhouse is no longer a dream: Beginning this spring, you'll be able to step through the doors to her Malibu home and find out if life in plastic is really as fantastic as it seems. The World of Barbie, a partnership between Mattel and branded live entertainment group Kilburn Live, is an immersive experience that transports Barbie fans into Barbie's pastel pink world.

After a wildly successful run in Toronto, the World of Barbie is launching stateside. Tickets go on sale March 8 for World of Barbie's U.S. debut in the Los Angeles area at Santa Monica Place on April 14.

While there, you can lounge in Barbie's perfectly decorated living room and walk the pink carpet; you can also try on some of Barbie's fashionable personalities by stepping into life-size doll boxes with themes like "Western" and "fashionista." Outside, you can lounge on Barbie's patio and splash in the pool.

It is plastic, so no diving is allowed.

Not only will you be able to walk through Barbie's home, but you'll also have a chance to tour her very pink camper van and explore areas themed to a few of Barbie's many careers — including newscaster, lab scientist and astronaut. You can enjoy snacks from a Barbie-themed cafe and visit a museum that chronicles Barbie's history and evolution.

Special events will occur throughout World of Barbie's Los Angeles run. For instance, on Pink Carpet Night, guests are encouraged to don their best pink outfits. They can also enjoy Movie Days with Barbie animated films as well as Sips After Sunset nights with live music and themed cocktails.

The photo opportunities are endless, but World of Barbie's creators hope visitors come away with more than selfies.

Their goal is for kids to be inspired to dream big like Barbie — the only doll in history who has held down simultaneous careers as a pilot and a rock star and managed to look flawless doing both. Adults who grew up with Barbie can reminisce about the doll they've loved since childhood and admire how she has evolved throughout the years.

Tickets for Los Angeles World of Barbie dates start at $34 for adults and $26 for children. On the World of Barbie website, you can sign up for exclusive access to advance ticket sales and be the first to know if Barbie packs up her pink suitcase for a visit to your town.

The project marks the first stage venture for LuckyChap, whose other film and TV credits include Promising Young Woman, I, Tonya and the Hulu TV series Dollface .

The Big Gay Jamboree , according to the synopsis, “centers on Stacey, who after blacking out from 18 Jägerbombs, wakes up hungover in the most terrifying place of all: an Off-Broadway musical. With no memory of how she got there, Stacey is forced to put her BFA in theater to use, belt her face off, and figure out how the hell she’s gonna escape this 1940s golden age musical…while a live audience watches.”

In a joint statement, LuckyChap said, “We’ve been admiring Marla Mindelle’s work for quite some time and our adoration only grew when we were blown away by Titaníque . We knew that we wanted to be a part of bringing Marla’s The Big Gay Jamboree to the stage. We’ve been wanting to find a way into the theatre space and couldn’t be more thrilled for this to be our first foray alongside the incredible team involved.”

Said Wagner and Johnson, “Few things have given us greater hope in the future of the American theater than the recent renaissance we’ve seen happen downtown. We’re excited to bring Marla back to Off-Broadway audiences, and welcome LuckyChap into the theatrical fray.”

The creative team for The Big Gay Jamboree includes dots (set design), Sarah Cubbage (costume design), Brian Tovar (lighting design), and Aaron Rhyne (projection design). Musical Supervision and Arrangements by David Dabbon and Casting is by Stephen Kopel.

Titaníque , a jukebox musical parody of the 1997 film Titanic , features the songs of Céline Dion and includes a Céline Dion character who hijacks a tour at a Titanic museum and provides her take on what really happened to Jack and Rose that fateful night. The show premiered in Los Angeles in 2017, then began an Off Broadway run at the Asylum Theatre in 2022 (later transferring to the Daryl Roth Theatre, where it continues to play). Titaníque won the Off Broadway Lucille Lortel Awards for outstanding musical, lead performer (Mindelle) and costume design (Alejo Vietti).

As two of the hottest names in pop and electronic music, the tour comes at a pivotal moment in both artist’s careers. Charli XCX & Troye Sivan present: Sweat is not only a celebration of their individual successes, but it is also a testament to their commitment to inclusivity and diversity within the music industry. Fans can expect an electrifying show filled with exhilarating performances, stunning visuals, and infectious beats.

Produced by Live Nation, the 21-city tour kicks off on September 14 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI, making stops across in North America including Toronto, ON; New York, NY; Boston, MA; Phoenix, AZ; Los Angeles, CA; San Francisco, CA and more before wrapping up in Seattle, WA at Climate Pledge Arena on October 23.

Registration does not guarantee tickets and supplies are limited. The general on-sale will begin on Friday, April 26 at 10 AM local time at LiveNation .com.

British avant-pop and electronic sensation Charli XCX, fresh off the announcement of her sold-out “BRAT 2024 – ARENA TOUR” shows in the UK, is gearing up for the release of her highly anticipated sixth solo album , ‘BRAT’ . The album, set to feature 15 tracks, includes the hit single “ Von dutch ” – the brash and synth heavy first taste of the record – alongside recent releases ‘ Club classics ’ and ‘ B2b ’.

Charli also recently unveiled ‘ The Von dutch remix with addison rae & a. g. cook ’, an effervescent rework of the smash hit single featuring A. G. Cook’s signature brand of idiosyncratic production and Charli and Addison going back and forth on vocals.

Charli threw a momentous Boiler Room in New York’s Brooklyn in February to launch the ‘BRAT’ campaign with A. G. Cook, George Daniel, Finn Keane and Doss. ‘ Boiler Room & Charli XCX Presents: PARTYGIRL ’ broke the record for the most ever RSVPs to a Boiler Room event, with over 40k people registering to attend. Featuring special guest appearances from the likes of Addison Rae and Julia Fox, the show has easily become one of the viral moments of the year.

Australian pop sensation Troye Sivan, known for his chart-topping hits and captivating performances, will be coming off the heels of his European arena tour in support of his critically acclaimed third album, “Something to Give Each Other” (2023) –  a celebration of sex, dance, sweat, community, queerness, love and friendship. His hit single “Rush ” – which earned two Grammy nominations and amassed over 180 million combined global streams to date–  and “ Got Me Started ,” the second single from his 2023 album, have gained worldwide recognition amongst his dedicated fan base.

Troye Sivan and Charli XCX are no strangers to collaboration, having previously worked together on smash hits such as “1999” and “2099.” Their undeniable chemistry and shared passion for music have solidified their partnership as one of the most dynamic duos in pop music.

Margot Robbie Dressed Like Barbie Twice in Australia Ahead of Barbie Movie Release

Her latest press tour looks pay homage to the original doll from 1959.

She switched into a second retro-inspired look for more press, wearing a white strawberry print belted Moschino minidress with the same hairstyle and different white-rimmed sunglasses. Robbie appeared enthusiastic while posing:

The throwback fashion looks mark a fun pivot for a press tour that has been full of unexpected but creative homages so far. There’s a lot more to come, too: Robbie and Ryan Gosling announced earlier that the Barbie press tour will happen in eight cities: Sydney (where Robbie is now), Toronto (where Gosling is now), Seoul, Mexico City, Los Angeles (where they did their initial photo call ), London, Berlin, and New York.

Robbie recently spoke to Fandango about how the film crew managed to get the now-viral trailer shot of her arched Barbie feet.

“It was probably about eight takes. Wasn’t that many,” she said. “I walked up, we had little sticky bits on the floor, double-sided tape for the shoes, so they wouldn’t come off, so I could get my feet out of them. And I was holding onto a bar. But that’s it. I wasn’t in a harness or anything like that. I just walked up, kind of held onto the bar above [the] camera.” She stressed that using her own body for shots like that is important to her: “I always try to do my own inserts.”

Kid Cudi cancels tour: Ankle broken at Coachella is ‘much more serious,’ needs surgery

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

Kid Cudi is canceling his upcoming Insano: Engage the Rage World Tour after finding out his broken ankle is “much more serious” than he thought.

“Guys, so, I have a broken calcaneus,” Cudi posted Wednesday on social media. “Im headed to surgery now and there’s gonna be a long recovery time. We have to cancel the tour so I can focus on getting better to be out there in top shape to rage with you all.”

Kid Cudi is ‘hoping’ his Coachella broken ankle will be healed in time for Insano tour

Kid Cudi offers an update on the ankle he broke jumping off the Sahara stage on the last day of Coachella 2024. He seems upbeat, albeit a little uncertain.

April 23, 2024

The calcaneus is more commonly known as the heel bone. While some ankle fractures can heal in weeks, a broken calcaneus has a longer recovery time. “This type of fracture commonly occurs during a high-energy event — such as a car crash or a fall from a ladder — when the heel is crushed under the weight of the body,” the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons says on its website . Surgery is often required to prevent heel deformity.

This, friends, is why you don’t jump off one of the tallest stages at Coachella.

“There’s just no way I can bounce back in time to give 100%,” Cudi said. “The injury is much more serious than I thought.”

The U.S. leg of the Insano tour was supposed to start June 28 in Austin, Texas, and conclude with a show in Los Angeles on Aug. 30. Kid Cudi planned to head to Europe in early 2025; it’s unclear whether that part of the tour is still on.

Drake removed from lawsuit over Astroworld crowd crush that left 10 fans dead

A judge removes Drake, who performed with Travis Scott at the 2021 Astroworld concert, from a suit filed by families of the 10 fans who died in a crowd crush.

April 12, 2024

The rapper said that ticket holders will be contacted by email and receive a full refund. Also, new tour dates will be announced as soon as possible.

In a video posted earlier this week and captured by TMZ , Kid Cudi said with a chuckle, “This is what happens when a 40-year-old man tries to prance around offstage like he’s 26, like he used to do back in the day.” He added that he was “hoping” to be healed up in time to hit the road.

So much for that idea.

“I’m so sorry fam and I love you all so much, thanks for the endless love and support. Im really disappointed as im sure you guys are too, but I will be back. Thats a promise,” the rapper wrote Wednesday.

“Im ok, just a lil soreness, but im in good spirits.”
