The Earl Carroll Theatre at 6230 Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood was a Streamline Moderne venue designed by architect Gordon Kaufmann and completed in 1938 for showman Earl Carroll. Over its long life, the theatre underwent multiple transformations: it operated as the Moulin Rouge from 1953 to 1964, served as the Aquarius Theater through the early 1980s, and from 1997 to 2017 functioned as Nickelodeon on Sunset, housing West Coast production of live-action original series for the Nickelodeon cable channel. Recognized as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, the theatre closed in 2017. In 2019, operators leased the building for ten years with plans to restore and reopen it as part of a new entertainment complex.
