Morning. The marine layer’s taking it easy today, so it’s a good one to actually follow through on those “let’s hang out this week” texts.

High 72°F · Low 55°F Mild and mostly clear with just a light breeze — classic late-March jacket-on, jacket-off weather. Driving should be smooth; it’s a great night for anything outdoors that doesn’t require a space heater.

Micro Music Festival – Open Mic Night Hard Rock Cafe Hollywood, 6801 Hollywood Blvd 7:00–10:00 PM Local solo acts, duos, and full bands rotate through the same stage, so you get a sampler platter of rising talent in one sitting — easy to pair with burgers and people-watching on Hollywood Boulevard.
Monty Python’s Spamalot (Touring Production) Hollywood Pantages Theatre, 6233 Hollywood Blvd 7:30 PM A full Broadway tour brings knights, killer rabbits, and delightfully ridiculous musical numbers to the Pantages — a solid excuse to laugh loudly on a Tuesday and grab a late bite on the Walk of Fame afterward.

The Hollywood Pantages Theatre The Pantages is more than a pretty marquee on Hollywood Boulevard — it opened in 1930 as a movie palace and once hosted the Academy Awards, but now anchors the city’s biggest touring Broadway runs. Its Art Deco interior was nearly gutted in the ‘60s; preservation efforts kept the ornamentation intact, so every ticket today comes with a side of living history. If you look up from your seat, the ceiling alone is almost worth the price of admission.
