"Wake Me When I'm Free" Closes on September 5 in Los Angeles
Extended twice, over 50 school groups hosted: On September 5, 2022, the Tupac show in Los Angeles closes-afterward, it moves to other cities.
It was originally supposed to end on May 1. Yet due to high demand, the exhibition “Tupac Shakur. Wake Me When I’m Free” was extended twice, as The Source writes. In late April, Vibe had reported that the date was postponed to the end of the summer. On July 15, 2022, the estate announced that the show would open for the last time in Los Angeles on Monday, September 5, 2022.
Free Admission for Schools and Cinema for the Farewell
Together with the Los Angeles Unified School District, the show offered free admission to public school groups and their chaperones; according to The Source, more than 50 groups have attended since the start of this initiative. For the final weeks, there were special promotions, such as discounts on Tupac apparel and a movie night featuring Poetic Justice.
Afterward, the show is set to move on: Creative Director Jeremy Hodges said they looked forward to sharing Tupac’s legacy “with more cities.” On the opening and the film: Poetic Justice.
