Veteran producer Jon Fondy brings an entertainment experience unlike any other to the Plaza Hotel & Casino. With an array of entertainers, "Avant Garde" is described as a collection of "music, mirth, magic and mayhem." The show opens at the historic Plaza showroom Tuesday, February 14th at 7:00 PM.

"Avant Garde" was created specifically for Las Vegas, and is directed by Juliana Chen, who can also be seen performing in the show. Chen is master magician and is the only woman to win the World Championship of Magic in the last 50 years. Alongside Chen is producer Jon Fondy, who has produced more than 600 television shows and more than 400 live shows. 

"With the explosion of all the new elements of Downtown Las Vegas, we, as well as the folks at the Plaza, are excited to become an integral part of it," said Fondy. "That's why we produced a show of international quality to provide an entertainment experience for all guests-domestic and international."

The rotating stars of "Avant Garde" include:

Juliana Chen (China), world champion magician and juggler

Ed Alanzo (U.S.), "The Misfit of Magic" and performer in Britney Spears' "Circus" tour

Michael Finney (U.S.), comedian/emcee;

Rudy Colby (U.S.), "The Labman," a comedic magician

Aaron Crow (Belgium), suspenseful stunt artistry

Jerome Murat (France), "The Living Statue," a pantomime artist

Kevin James (U.S.), comedic illusionist

Lindsey Stirling (U.S.), hip-hop violinist

Sonny Fontana (Venezuela), hand shadow creations

"Avant Garde" will debut in the Plaza's 600-seat showroom that has retained its retro Vegas format. The show will be live six nights a week at 7 p.m., and dark on Friday nights.

Ticket prices start at $35.70 for general admission. Tickets will be available at the Plaza Hotel & Casino box office next to the showroom, by phone at 702-946-8934 or 800-793-9332, or online at: www.plazahotelcasino.com.  For more information about the show and cast, please visit: www.AvantGardeLasVegas.com, or become a fan on Facebook and Twitter.
