The holidays have come and gone and with it your chance to visit Stars Hollow, CT via Burbank, CA. I’ve just wrapped a nightly show that has played every night (except for Christmas) since December 17th on the Warner Bros. back-lot as part of their Holidays Made Here event. Working with Planet C Studios we mapped a section of the studio’s facades to project holiday lighting and clips from Gilmore Girls as they celebrated their 25th (!!!) anniversary.
Guests wandered through the recreation of the small Connecticut town visiting their favorite spots and maybe catching a glimpse of one of the original characters. Once the sun set three separate “shows” played to the coffee guzzling crowd. Each show played in sync with lighting, audio, and of course snow.
Admittedly I had never watched Gilmore Girls in its original run or in its life after network television but I have learned that there is a passionate audience for the world of the show and Warner Bros. did a great job recreating that world and inviting the fans in to play. More proof that if you build a world your fans love they will come just to exist in that space for a short time.
Perhaps I’ll see you in Stars Hollow next year.
