Theatrical Performance Caps Off Lexus’ Hispanic-Focused Initiatives

 

(Miami, FL) October 28, 2009 – As the leading luxury automotive brand in the United States, Lexus believes it is important to support and encourage all forms of artistic expression in the Hispanic Community. The next event in Lexus’ innovative experiential campaign is a VIP evening with Fuerza Bruta at the Filmore Jackie Gleason Theater in Miami on Monday, Nov. 2, 2009.

 

This electric theatrical experience begins the moment audiences arrive as they pass the Walk of Stars located right outside the Miami Jackie Gleason Theater box office entrance where celebrities cement their handprints and signatures. The night will kick off with a cocktail reception leading up to the show. At show time, audiences will be ushered onto the main stage where they will be engulfed in spectacle – performers suspended in mid-air surrounded by a vast sea of mylar; and gorgeous women twisting ethereally in a lucite pool above the audience.

 

Fuerza Bruta is a vivid of example of VIP events that will continue into 2010, before, during and after Hispanic Heritage month. In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Lexus partnered with Ocean Drive Magazine and the Miami Dolphins to host a star-studded reception during the Dolphins vs. Jets game on October 12, 2009 at the ultra-modern Ocean Drive Club at Landshark Stadium. In line with Lexus’ dedication to the Hispanic Community, the Lexus Listening Lounge at the Miami Auto Show featured an impressive line-up of acclaimed Latino artists from Miami. Performances included the likes of Javier Garcia, Locos Por Juana, Chris Syler, Liset Alea, Alejandra Alberti, Suenalo, Juan, Conjunto Progreso and Spam Allstars with an opening night performance by Latin Grammy winning artist Jorge Moreno. At each event, Lexus provided consumers the opportunity to interact with the Lexus IS series which combines outstanding performance with optimum luxury.
