Celebrate Tutu Day on 2/2!

In honor of its upcoming L.A. premiere engagement of BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL, the Pantages Theatre is declaring that Thursday 2/2 to be “Tutu Day.” The very unofficial celebration is being marked by several celebrations involving the beautiful, inspirational and versatile tutu. In BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL, the tutu is not just a piece of dancewear, but it comes to symbolize personal expression and the dream of one boy that inspires an entire community.

Facebook Tutu Photo Contest — In advance of Tutu Day, the Pantages will host a contest January 26 – February 1 on its official Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/PantagesHollywood.
