Lucha VaVoom de La Liz (LVVDLL)—the perfect combination of world-class, professional lucha libre-style wrestling interspersed with insane, high-octane burlesque performances, death-defying aerial acts, comedy, music, and more—is returning with their annual summer spectacular show.
Last month, LVVDLL’s beloved home venue The Mayan Theatre, a pioneer of downtown Los Angeles’ revitalization and a beloved cultural landmark that has served as a cornerstone of entertainment and community in DTLA for nearly a century, announced it will be closing its doors in September. The closure marks the end of an era, so LVVDLL is promising one last blowout in celebration of the venue they’ve called home for 23 years, before they find a new home to host their annual Halloween engagement.
