Opening Ceremony show features live fight scene, Rza music

“We decided to embrace the LA-ness that we love, which is like this fun, other world – this Hollywood side. We decided to bring that into the show,” Leon said after the show, timed to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the brand’s LA store.

“These stuntwomen have never all been together before. And they’re all friends. And there’s never been a movie where they’re needed — 10 women stunt doubles,” he continued. “So in many ways, this was also celebrating girl power and yeah, almost like a bunch of sisters coming together. Obviously everyone makes up at the end, so it’s a fight for good.”

For RZA, creating a live soundtrack presented a new challenge.

“It was deep. I haven’t done Broadway yet, you know what I mean?” he said. “I think it was really unique. And I think they pulled it off. When the sleeves came out – because we rehearsed it without the full costume. So when the sleeves came out and all of that, it just made it like wow – now I see. It was fun.”
