Doug Munny (James Gandolfini) is onstage at the Orpheum, used for the theatre at his new "signature hotel," the Doug, in Las Vegas. It's a shot from Don Scardino's "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" (New Line/Warner Bros. 2013), a comedy about magic.
Magicians Olivia Wilde, Steve Carell and Steve Buscemi onstage.
The film also stars Jim Carrey who, for his big trick, drills a hole in his head.
A nice view of the end standards on the main floor. Yes, that's a body being dragged up the aisle. It's part of the "vanishing audience" trick at the end of the film.
Up in the balcony during the "vanishing audience" trick -- rolling the customers down the steps while they're asleep.
See the Los Angeles Theatres pages about the Orpheum Theatre for a history of this 1926 vintage vaudeville house along with several hundred photos. It's a design by G. Albert Lansburgh that's at 842 S. Broadway.
