Photo Coverage: Kelly Clinton Brings FRECKLES AND 80 YEAR-OLD BONES to Metropolitan Room

The LasVegas-based entertainer Kelly Clinton reprises her unique, free wheeling club act "Freckles and 80-Year-Old Bones" for a one-week, prime time run through May 11. The new show,which premiered here in a one-night, sold out performance in October, plays four shows only through Friday May 11. Check out photos from the concert below!

Reviewing the show on broadwayworld.com last year, Stephen Sorokoff called her act "a well-constructed tour de force," labeling Clinton "apure delight" and "a wonderful entertainer."
Backing Clinton are the New York-based Jeff Neiman, her music director on keyboards, Steve Bescrone on bass, and Sherrie Maricle on drums.

A nightclub force in Las Vegas both on stage and behind the scenes, Clinton marries song, comedy,and character work in a variety-flavored mix that harks back to Ball and Burnett while keeping pace with modern tastes.

A New Jersey native, Clinton currently headlines at Las Vegas's exclusive Stirling Club at Turnberry Towers, where she also serves as entertainment director. Her "Kelly Clinton's Open Mic Cabaret" at the Bootlegger Bistro attracts numerous entertainment luminaries. Her husband, the singer Clint Holmes, is in the midst of a critically acclaimed run at The Café Carlyle through April 28.

Discovered by both Wayne Newton and Engelbert Humperdinck, who hired her as a backup singer and to do special material in their respective shows, Clinton happily alternates between nightclub and Theatre Projects. She is the creator/producer of "Shades of Sinatra," a musical tribute to Frank Sinatra that has been seen at many Vegas venues, including the Clarion Hotel where it is ongoing. In 2011 she starred in "Nunsense" at the Las Vegas Hilton.
