Pyro Party
Ocean's 13 premiered with a bash for 1,200 that featured fireworks launched from nearby Hollywood High School.
Like the team of characters in Oceans 13, the film’s Hollywood premiere party on Tuesday was cool, clever, and depended on impeccable execution. Warner Brothers’ publicity and special events team—including Courtney Saylor, Troy Williams, Chad Hudson, and Bonnie Horton—produced the event internally, tapping Mary Micucci and Along Came Mary as the production vendor to pull it all off. The event for 1,200 guests took place on the parking lot behind the El Capitan Theatre (after the screening at the Chinese) and implored a poolside-in-Vegas theme.

V.I.P. guests relaxed in 16 cabanas, cream denim-covered structures with off-white sheer pullbacks. The event featured a live performance by the Sinatra-inspired band Cocktails With Joey and a five-minute fireworks display from Pyro Spectaculars launched from the Hollywood High athletic field—a rare occurrence in the middle of town.

The Peking Acrobats troupe performed an array of eye-catching acts, including spinning plates, spear and vase juggling, and contortion feats. And a 30- by 20-foot water wall on a massive central truss structure rounded out the eye candy. The whole affair took three days to set up.
