Since its debut on October 27, 2015, the Hollywood-inspired entertainment resort, Studio City, has established itself as a new landmark in Macau, featuring a host of exciting, “world’s first” non-gaming attractions in partnership with some of the biggest names in entertainment. With the Chinese New Year approaching, the new entertainment hot spot enticed celebrated actress Ms. Lynn Xiong, the star of several recent Chinese blockbusters, to drop by as its Star Ambassador. While visiting the thrilling cinematically-themed leisure destination, Lynn took a spectacular journey through theThe House of Magic, and was captivated by an enchanting sunset on the Golden Reel figure-8 Ferris wheel, 130 meters above ground, rounding up a truly remarkable experience at Asia’s Entertainment Capital. Studio City’s stunning Art Deco façade greets visitors with the imposing 30-meter Heroes of Steel statues flanking the iconic Golden Reel, itself straddling the twin hotel towers. The integrated resort combines electrifying entertainment with an exciting cinematically-inspired environment and an array of accommodation, regional and international dining and designer brand shopping. With the movie Ip Man 3 outgrossing its competitors at the China, Hong Kong and Taiwan box offices (in particular, making a record-breaking TWD130 million dollars at the box office in Taiwan), Lynn, who plays the wife of Ip Man in the trilogy, made her appearance at Studio City today to experience its many wonders. Besides the exquisite gastronomic experience created by Michelin-starred Chef Tam Kwok Fung’s Chinese restaurant Pearl Dragon with an auspicious Chinese New Year menu, Lynn also made a surprise guest appearance at the one-of-a-kind multi-theater attraction, The House of Magic, where she was “teleported” onto the stage atop a blazing red Ferrari, to help bring the 90-minute, three-show performance to its climax. Lynn commented on her journey through the themed resort: “I was thrilled by such a new and exciting experience presented by Studio City. As a professional actress, I dedicate myself to the art of movie-making, but it never dawned on me that there could be such a spectacular cinematically-inspiredintegrated resort right here in Asia. Its marvelous entertainment-oriented ambiance and attractions put me in a seemingly real Hollywood movie scene, which was a very exciting surprise. “During my exploration of Studio City, what impressed me most was that I was able to be part of an international magic show at The House of Magic. I had the honor to perform with one of the world’s greatest magicians for the first time, so I was extra careful when we were rehearsing, hoping that together we would put on an amazing show. Through the whole act I was very nervous, but the magical feelings it brought me are unforgettable. I am fascinated by the mysterious charm that The House of Magic offers!” The House of Magic is a one-of-a-kind multi-theater attraction housing performances never seen before in Asia. Designed, curated and hosted by acclaimed illusionist, Franz Harary, The House of Magic is the premier performance venue for magicians globally. Featuring rotating live magicians in a three-theater complex, it amazes visitors with an array of mind-bending shows including Franz’s signature resident show, Mega Magic. As the perfect finale to her visit trip, Lynn took a ride on the world’s highest figure-8 Ferris wheel – Golden Reel- enjoying the stunning sunset at a dizzying height of 130 meters. Upon her arrival at Golden Reel, Lynn said: “I’m finally here at this amazing Ferris wheel! I have read so much about this new landmark and am planning to visit here with my family, so I’m very happy that I have this opportunity to preview the ride and prepare for my next visit. It’s a bit scary to be 130 meters above the ground, but as we are rising up slowly, I could look out over the landscape of Macau and the China Sea. It’s definitely a must-see location to take a photo in memory of your visit to Macau. For couples especially, I think this would be a wonderful place for an unforgettable romantic sunset moment. ” Experiential dining is on the menu at Studio City with a stellar range of over 30 signature restaurants, themed food court and entertainment-inspired eateries, including Studio City’s premium Chinese restaurant Pearl Dragon, helmed by acclaimed Michelin-starred chef Tam Kwok Fung; Shanghai Magic, offering an immersive experience that brings together modern Shanghainese dining and close-up magic. Further venues showcasing of the art of gastronomy, created by multiple Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse and Hawaiian celebrity chef Alan Wong, will also soon be unveiled at Studio City. Mr. JD Clayton, President of Studio City said: “As Asia’s Entertainment Capital, Studio City is dedicated to presenting world-class entertainment, dining, accommodation and lifestyle experience to its guests. With our motto ‘This is Entertainment’, we are a major factor in Macau’s aspirations to build a diversified and in-depth development of its tourism industry, thus enhancing its position as Asia’s leading tourist destination. Studio City has many exciting promotions for the Chinese New Year holiday in store, with the aim of providing visitors to Macau an unparalleled resort experience and to ring in the Year of the Monkey on a very exciting, memorable and, above all, fortune-filled note.”

After setting attendance records around the world and completing one of the biggest comedy tours ever with his Notorious World Tour in 2012, global comedy star Russell Peters, Studio City and Live Nation Lushington proudly announce Russell Peters’ first ever visit to Macau with his new ALMOST FAMOUS WORLD TOUR on February 26 at the acclaimed Hollywood-inspired, cinematically-themed entertainment and leisure destination, Studio City. The show will be the first comedic performance at the Studio City Event Center (“SCEC”), which has already seen the likes of Asia’s king of dance, Aaron Kwok, a series of top Taiwan artistes, Cantonese crooner, Andy Hui, and will have hosted the Queen of Pop, Madonna, just the week before Peters makes his grand appearance. “The Russell Peters Almost Famous World Tour” features all new material, plus Peters’ lightning fast improv. “I like to interact with the audience,” says Peters of his signature back and forth with his fans. “I use the interaction to take me from bit to bit. Some guys go on-stage with a script and don’t deviate from it. That’s not my style. I have my set and know what I want to cover; I just use the audience to move me in certain directions. It’s very collaborative and each show is unique.” “After touring around the globe, I’m excited to be performing at The Studio City Event Center. It looks like a perfect setting for my style – to get up close and personal with the audience – and with its top-notch theater-quality acoustics and skillfully designed space providing an unmatched atmosphere of intimacy with the audience, I think it will be one of the highlights of my tour. I am definitely looking to treat some of my current fans to some great comedy and establish a connection with a whole new set of supporters when I make my first visit to Macau.” Peters says. Not only is Studio City Event Center designed to allow people to feel they are part of the show, but the Center also provides a series of VIP suites and Club Lounges, unprecedented in this part of the world, which allow groups of friends, families or corporates to enjoy the show in a more private setting. This tour will bring Peters to Macau for the first time ever and is expected to draw adoring fans from around the region who have longed to see his fiery brand of cultural comedy live. Peters is the first South Asian to sell-out Harlem’s Apollo Theatre, and was the first comedian to sell-out Brooklyn’s Barclays Arena in 2012 – that show becoming the largest comedy show in Brooklyn history. The Almost Famous World Tour has already sold over 150,000 tickets in Canada, where Peters will become the first comedian to sell-out Toronto’s Air Canada Centre for a sixth time. In 2015, Peters took the ALMOST FAMOUS WORLD TOUR to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, the UK, Europe and Asia. His last tour took Peters to 26 countries and over 200 performances, with over 300,000 fans attending his shows globally. SCEC is a 5,000-seat multi-purpose entertainment complex, with state-of-the-art infrastructure designed to host exciting world-class live concerts, theatrical and top sports events, in addition to award shows and other special gatherings. It represents just one facet of a host of world-class entertainment offerings to be found at Hollywood-inspired Studio City, which is primed to establish itself as Asia’s Entertainment Capital and take Macau’s entertainment destination proposition to unprecedented new levels. “The audience left the venue with smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes, as Peters managed to nail them with his witty observatory comedic style and jokes about ethnic and cultural stereotypes.” - The Nation “Peters is constantly thinking up new material. He says his newest bits for the Almost Famous tour are less about lampooning cultural differences and more about "the culture of being Russell." - LA Times “...an exceptional comedian. He’s obviously a natural performer…” The Guardian GET YOUR TICKETS EARLY; THIS SHOW WILL SELL OUT.
