BWW Reviews: Vegas: The Show!: This One Deserves The Exclamation!

BWW Reviews: Vegas: The Show!: This One Deserves The Exclamation!

by Ellen Sterling — June 2, 2011
Think about it: How many times have you seen the title of a show or movie with an exclamation point on the end? There's Oklahoma! Airplane! ¡Three Amigos! Mamma Mia! Hot Shots! Oliver!....and those are only a few. Some of them actually, depending upon your response, may have deserved the exclamatio...
BWW Reviews: Sandy Hackett's RAT PACK - Vintage Vegas Lives & It's Lots of Fun

BWW Reviews: Sandy Hackett's RAT PACK - Vintage Vegas Lives & It's Lots of Fun

by Robert Diamond — March 25, 2011
Even if you never got to see them, it's a good bet that you know the Rat Pack - Sinatra, Davis, Martin and Bishop - well. This is because, in a world where we lionize the mundane and everyone is a star, these guys were truly iconic, emblematic of Las Vegas. Their spirit lives on today in Sandy Hacke...
BWW Reviews: Terry Fator: Still So Talented But.....

BWW Reviews: Terry Fator: Still So Talented But.....

by Ellen Sterling — March 22, 2011
There can be no doubt that Terry Fator first winner of America's Got Talent has indeed 'got talent' in abundance. In fact, on a scale of 1 to 10, his talent ranks an 11. But, though he is talented and eminently pleasant, his show, Ventriloquism in Concert, in the Terry Fator Theater at the Mirage Ho...
BWW Reviews: Greg London at the Hilton: Impressions That Do, Indeed, Rock

BWW Reviews: Greg London at the Hilton: Impressions That Do, Indeed, Rock

by Ellen Sterling — March 3, 2011

BWW Reviews: A JEW GROWS IN BROOKLYN - Ethnic Theater In the Desert Diaspora

BWW Reviews: A JEW GROWS IN BROOKLYN - Ethnic Theater In the Desert Diaspora

by Ellen Sterling — January 10, 2011
When I moved to Las Vegas in 2005 it was widely touted as the city with the fastest growing Jewish population in the country. But, for a Jew from metropolitan New York, it was still quite a culture shock. In New York, everyone seemed to know the basic Yiddish phrases - and Italian phrases, too - and...
BWW Reviews: Sinatra Is Back In Vegas In Twyla Tharp's SINATRA DANCE WITH ME

BWW Reviews: Sinatra Is Back In Vegas In Twyla Tharp's SINATRA DANCE WITH ME

by Ellen Sterling — December 13, 2010
It is a perfect combination - the ultra-cool of Frank Sinatra's music and put it with the heat of Twyla Tharp's choreography. Add sets, costumes and lighting and you have the show that opened Saturday night at Wynn Las Vegas....
BWW Reviews: NUNSENSE At the Hilton - Watch Nuns Cavort While You Have A Drink

BWW Reviews: NUNSENSE At the Hilton - Watch Nuns Cavort While You Have A Drink

by Ellen Sterling — September 28, 2010
In a very un-churchlike setting - the Las Vegas Hilton's Shimmer Cabaret, another venue where you can watch the show while drinking - Nunsense opened a six-month run, playing Wednesdays through Sundays at 4 pm....
Las Vegas Review: PEEPSHOW

Las Vegas Review: PEEPSHOW

by Robert Diamond — May 12, 2010
Have you heard of Holly Madison? And do you want to see her naked? If yes, then Peepshow - the Las Vegas burlesque show created by Tony winning director/ choreographer Jerry Mitchell - is for you. In it, Holly struts and poses in various states of undress, while a cast of Vegas regulars performs ...
Las Vegas Review: Cirque du Soleil's LOVE

Las Vegas Review: Cirque du Soleil's LOVE

by Robert Diamond — May 12, 2010
Cirque du Soleil's Love launched in Las Vegas in 2006 and features music from the Beatles that dates back almost a half-century. However, this tour de force shows no signs of aging; it's a gorgeous multi-media masterpiece, a Vegas gamble on which you can't lose....
Show Review: After All These Years, Elvis Has Returned To Las Vegas

Show Review: After All These Years, Elvis Has Returned To Las Vegas

by Ellen Sterling — February 20, 2010
Elvis is back in Las Vegas and it looks like his show will run forever. Of course, I mean Viva Elvis, the seventh Cirque du Soleil show on the Las Vegas Strip. It is one of the centerpieces of the new MGM Mirage City Center, located in a new theater in the Aria Hotel and Casino....
'JERSEY BOYS' Named Number One Show By LV Review Journal

'JERSEY BOYS' Named Number One Show By LV Review Journal

by Gabrielle Sierra — December 31, 2008
The smash hit JERSEY BOYS at The Palazzo Resort-Hotel-Casino has been named the number one show of the year by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Nevada's largest newspaper.

Without overstating the case, this is a marvel to behold - a purely theatrical wonder....

Jersey Boys Comes To Las Vegas: 'Oh What A Night'

by Ellen Sterling — May 6, 2008
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 ...

Comedy in Vegas Tonight: Brad Garrett with Brad Zimmerman

by Ellen Sterling — August 24, 2007
What a treat it is to find out that those people who are so funny in scripted sitcoms are at least as funny in person. Brad Garrett - the much put-upon Robert in 'Everybody Loves Raymond' - is a perfect example......

Comedy in Vegas Tonight: Jay Leno at the Mirage

by Ellen Sterling — July 16, 2007
You think you know Jay Leno from his nightly monologue. And you do. Sort of. What the brief bit of stand-up doesn't show you is how Leno can sustain a very funny set for 90 minutes. ...

by Ellen Sterling — June 23, 2007
In his Las Vegas show, Ray Romano proves that he i, simply, very, very funny...

Las Vegas' 'Phantom'- Still Stunning and Spectacular

by Ellen Sterling — June 20, 2007
Never has there been any quite as spectacular as the very aptly named 'Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular' which last night celebrated its first anniversary, and 501st performance, at the Venetian Resort and Casino in Las Vegas....

Wayne Brady at the Venetian Resort and Casino

by Ellen Sterling — June 15, 2007
Wayne Brady is amazing. He's funny, gifted, very personable and - most of all - very smart. This intelligence informs everything he does onstage at The Venetian Resort and Casino. ...

Just Another Man: Getting Ready in Las Vegas

by Ellen Sterling — June 13, 2007
Las Vegas entertainment is unique for many reasons. One of those is that a performer can be a big star here - huge - and, outside the city's environs, no one really knows too much about his or her work. Clint Holmes is such a performer. ...

The Beauty of Magic: Hans Klok & Pamela Anderson in Vegas

by Ellen Sterling — June 6, 2007
Not much wit or, even, magic in Hans Klok: The Beauty of Magic...
