D-O-M-I-N-G-O, he's filming a Netflix show!

Break out the bridesmaids' dresses. Saturday Night Live's first Zoomer castmate and former Belen boy Marcello Hernández announced today he's headed back to his hometown to shoot four shows for his first-ever comedy special. The shows will be filmed next month, on Friday, September 19 and 20, and air on Netflix at a later date.
The shows are not just notable because Hernández is returning to Miami after a star-making SNL season that included the debut of his memorable recurring character Domingo, but also because all four tapings will take place at the Olympia Theater. The downtown venue has been closed for the better part of five years, save for the occasional immersive installation or one-off events. It reopened in March for the Miami Film Festival, but it has been the source of much consternation in recent weeks as its owners weigh handing over its reins to SLAM Academy, a charter school championed by another famous Miami boy, Pitbull.

Tickets to Hernández's show are on sale now. In an email to supporters, the Olympia advised the shows will be "phone-free experiences" — attendees will have to lock their devices in provided Yondr pouches when they arrive.

Marcello Hernández. 6 and 9 p.m. Friday, September 19, and Saturday, September 20, at the Olympia Theater, 174 E. Flagler St., Miami; 786-991-9008; miami.gov. Tickets cost $56 to $87 via ticketmaster.com.
