In 2011, a brand new, delightful, multi-million dollar Cirque du Soleil show, named "IRIS", opened in the Kodak Theatre as a permanent resident at the Kodak (in between Oscar shows). The new show is pricey, but spectacular. If you can afford to buy a ticket, don't miss "IRIS" during your visit to Hollywood. It is a major new treat on the Boulevard, bringing a touch of sophistication to the corner of Hollywood & Highland that lends even more of a Time Square ambiance to the area after dark.

Back out on the Boulevard, look down at the stars beneath your feet - these stars make up the Hollywood Walk of Fame. (located along both sides of long Hollywood Boulevard & Vine Street.) If you don't mind a little extra walking, go first to the west end of the Walk of Fame (at La Brea) and check out "The La Brea Gateway," the new gleaming silver gazebo featuring life-size statues of four silver screen goddesses. If you're not in the mood for a walk, just check out the stars at your feet. (There are a lot of newer stars clustered around the Hollywood & Highland center.)
