Willy’s Chocolate Experience L.A.

An unaffiliated, detail-oriented homage to Glasgow’s train wreck of an unauthorized “immersive” Willy Wonka event, this L.A. version is taking the original’s most memorably miserable ingredients, but with the addition of a for-charity assembly of “full weirdo experiential” performers pulled from L.A.’s alternative arts, music and nightlife scenes. You’ll find it at 2346 Porter Street  on the edge of DTLA. Admission is $44 and benefits the National Alliance on Mental Illness. You can find out all about it in our interview with the event’s mysterious organizers.
