Bugs (and friends) at the Bowl

Didn’t get enough fireworks on the 4th? How about enjoying another sparkler show at the Hollywood Bowl in the company of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and that high-toned but wascally wabbit, Bugs Bunny?

Running Friday and Saturday, the “Bugs Bunny at the Symphony” show will screen classic Warner Brothers cartoons as the Phil plays the fabulous scores. In addition to Bugs, the lineup includes Looney Tunes episodes and animated shorts starring Tom and Jerry, Scooby Doo and the Flintstones.

Catch “What’s Opera, Doc?” as Bugs runs rings around The Ring Cycle. The Bowl itself is a star of the Tom and Jerry episode as Tom, in black tails, conducts a cat orchestra at the famous band shell as his mouse friend provokes major disruptions.

All that and fireworks, too.
