Ali Spuck ? yes, that's her real name ? was born in Texas but she is for sure a Broadway baby. Her Sunday afternoon cabaret show is at the Liberace Museum in Las Vegas.

It's billed as 'The Ultimate Celebration of Motown.' In this age of overstatement does Human Nature at Las Vegas' Imperial Palace deliver?

In a 1999 Entertainment Weekly article, writer Rob Brunner explained ABBA perfectly: 'They sang. they danced. they dressed like members of a cult, talked like a slightly more fluent version of the Swedish Chef, and were so into themselves they actually married each other. As the biggest international pop phenomenon of the '70s, ABBA were a triumph of vapid charisma, the era's ultimate smiley-faced pop group. 'You look at ABBA clips and you know that's the '70s,' says John Tyrrell, founder of the London-based ABBA tribute band Bjorn Again. 'It's the music, the dancing, the long white boots.' Not to mention the songs: Who could resist saccharine masterpieces like S.O.S. and Fernando?

It seems that everyone plays Las Vegas. From comics of every vintage to cutting edge music to singers who have been around for a year or two. Some of the latter come in as legacy (the polite way to indicate ?oldies?) acts; others are still taking steps to evolve as musicians, trying new things.

On Friday and Saturday nights Richard Lewis and Susie Essman performed at the Venetian Theatre. It was vintage Las Vegas ? very funny and very, very blue. They are a perfect combination. He is burdened by tons of psychological baggage and she carries nothing, just lets it all out. It was great fun and I hope they return very, very soon

It has finally happened. A hit Broadway musical - a Tony® Award-winner - has arrived in Las Vegas and it is the closest thing to both a Broadway experience and a genuine hit Broadway show this city has ever seen. Yes, we have a terrific Spamalot (or, we do until it closes in July), a breathtaking Phantom and Mamma Mia! just celebrated a record five-year run here. But none of them quite manages to do what Jersey Boys does. Spamalot is funny and true to the spirit of the original, but it runs a mere 90 minutes.
