Following her return to Las Vegas last fall, legendary entertainer Mitzi Gaynor will perform one night only at Sam's Town Live! on Saturday, June 16.
 
The award-winning star of classic musicals "South Pacific," "Les Girls," "Anything Goes" and "There's No Business Like Show Business" will appear in "Razzle Dazzle: My Life Behind the Sequins," a 90-minute musical memoir with stories, songs and video footage culled from her six-decade television, concert and film career.
 
Already a star on stage, Gaynor made her motion picture debut in 1950 and went on to star in numerous films. Gaynor was nominated for a Golden Globe® award for "Best Actress in a Musical" for her role as Ensign Nellie Forbush in "South Pacific." 
 
Gaynor ventured into television in 1967 with the first of many specials, "The Mitzi Gaynor Christmas Show." Throughout the next 10 years, she continued to star in a number of television specials, blending song, dance and comedy with such guest stars as Bob Hope, George Hamilton and Suzanne Pleshette. The specials were honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with 18 Emmy® nominations and seven Emmy® awards, including the 2010 award for "Outstanding Entertainment/Program Special" for her PBS musical documentary, "Mitzi Gaynor: Razzle Dazzle! The Special Years."
