Alesandra Dubin

June 20, 2007

Have some very special business entertaining to do next week? Prince will be performing seven shows at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel starting this Saturday. Verizon Wireless will present the concert series, reminiscent of the pop icon's legendary after-hours parties in his Beverly Hills home. An intimate group of 200 can check out each show in the hotel's Blossom Room (home of the first Academy Awards), preceded by dinner at the Dakota restaurant, where Prince's personal chef Lena Morgan will take over the kitchen for executive chef Tim Goodell. V.I.P. packages including the Dakota dinner will be limited to 130 seats, sold in pairs for $3,121. An additional 70 standing-room-only tickets will be available for $312.10 each. Tickets are available online, and Evolutionary Media Group is handling PR.

WorldPride D.C. took place May 17-June 8.
