The musical tribute to Broadway Classics showcases the “Tony-Las Vegas” flare.
Big talents will fill the stage with great tunes when Tony Arias and special guests perform Big Beautiful Broadway at the Flamingo Library Theater at the Clark County Library on Nov. 20.
"We will be performing the classic songs of Broadway by the Rhinestone of Las Vegas," says Tony. "The laughs and music won't stop during this special engagement."
Keith Thompson and his eight-piece orchestra, along with the piano brilliance of Dr. Philip Fortenberry, will lend their magic, talent, and special touch. In addition, one of the original collaborators and stars of the Broadway hit musical Jekyll & Hyde, Rebecca Spencer, will be making a guest appearance. In fact, Tony and Rebecca will be singing their first duet together during the show.
Tony will share some of Broadway's best-known classic show stories as only he can while audiences will enjoy his performances from the Broadway Songbook. For almost 40 years, Tony has performed as a musical comedian in Las Vegas. Standing at six feet, four inches, Tony demonstrates his vocals, charm and humor as a versatile performer. Tony's baritone voice can be heard on numerous national television and radio commercials, as well as documentaries, video games, and even slot machines. For more info, visit tonyarias.com.
