Las Vegas Nevada News Feed

The phenomenally popular off-Broadway production Girl’s Night: The Musical will make its Las Vegas debut at the Hollywood Theatre inside MGM Grand for a limited engagement May 6-12, 2010.

The UK smash hit, “tell-it-like-it-is” production, follows five friends as they gather for a night of wild karaoke. Audience members are invited to tag along with the remarkable and outrageous women to celebrate friendship, life, love and laughter. Bursting with energy, Girls Night is a hilarious, feel-good comedy that promises to have audience members dancing down the aisles to chart-topping female anthems like Lady Marmalade, It’s Raining Men, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, I Will Survive, and many more.

Women everywhere will be able to relate to the five independent and off-beat characters as they reminisce about the past and celebrate the future. Carol who is the natural born party animal, blunt Anita who says it like it is, Liza and her ‘issues’, boring Kate the greatest designated driver, and Sharon the not-so-angelic angel who just couldn’t resist tagging along for all of the fun. Las Vegas is known for no-holds-barred nights out on the town for women of all ages, where anything can happen. It’s only fitting that the production arrives in Sin City where estrogen-filled nights of hilarity and sisterhood are commonplace.

“We are thrilled to have Girls Night: The Musical, perform here at the Hollywood Theatre,” said Steve Zanella, Senior Vice President of Marketing for MGM Grand. “The show is unparalleled and we’re pleased to be the first to showcase the production in Las Vegas. At the end of the night, audience members will reaffirm their friendships and see that the lively and sometimes outrageous production has tremendous heart.”

Tickets are now on sale, so grab the girls and get ready to party! Tickets will be available at the MGM Grand Hollywood Theatre box office starting at $57.40 and $101.40 for premium seats. They are also available by calling Ticketmaster at 1-800-745-3000, visiting any Ticketmaster outlet, or online at ticketmaster.com. The stage production of Girls Night is written by Louise Roche and directed by Jack Randle.

Las Vegas entertainment icon, Frank Marino unveils his new dazzling drag spectacular “Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas” tonight at the Imperial Palace. As part of the celebration, Marino will also receive a second star on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars. The self-proclaimed “Peoples’ Diva,” is the first entertainer to earn two stars on the famed boulevard – one outside the Riviera and one outside the Imperial Palace.

Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas is a 75-minute, contemporary and up-beat production, full of male, lady look-alikes performing parodies of some of entertainment’s most beloved superstars. Marino stars in the show, performing a Joan Rivers-inspired comedic monologue and narrating the production throughout. Marino does a total of 17 costume changes, each time donning a different gown designed by the legendary Bob Mackie.

Marino is supported by an unbelievably talented cast of seven other quintessential queens, depicting 13 different divas. Six steamy male dancers heat up each act with dramatic choreography and chiseled bodies. “Divas” delights with pop culture-inspired tribute acts including Lady GaGa, Beyonce and Britney. Lady GaGa encourages the audience to “just dance,” Beyonce pleads for guests “to put a ring on it” and Britney’s sexy set is “like a circus.” Classic divas of the decades are channeled through acts such as Tina Turner, Shirley Bassey, Whitney Houston, Dolly Parton, Bette Midler, Diana Ross, Liza Minelli and Cher. A powerful point comes in the show comes with a dramatic performance of Charles Aznavour’s, “What Makes A Man A Man”.

Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas is produced by SPI Entertainment CEO Adam Steck and VP Alex Schechter. SPI Entertainment also produces the highly successful Australian singing sensation Human Nature who shares the stage with Divas Las Vegas in the Imperial Palace’s Imperial Theater.

Tonight, Marino will unveil a new set, new choreography and a new musical line up, including music by Rihanna and The Pussycat Dolls.

“Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas” performs six nights a week (Dark Fridays) at 10 p.m. For more information on Frank Marino visit www.frankmarino.com. All guests attending “Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas” must be 18 years or older.

MORE on FRANK MARINO

Frank Marino has entertained Las Vegas audiences for more than 25 years. Prior to opening “Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas” at the Imperial Palace, Frank starred in “An Evening at La Cage” at the Riviera. Marino is an accomplished author, columnist, spokesperson and America’s favorite male actress. He starred in the blockbuster hit Miss Congeniality 2 alongside Sandra Bullock. As a long-time member of the Las Vegas community, Marino has a Las Vegas street named after him (which he jokes ‘also goes both ways’), the key to the City, two Stars on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars and his own day, as proclaimed by Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman.

The AMERICAN SUPERSTARS show at the Stratosphere Casino & Hotel is excited to announce Corey Melton as the new Michael Jackson tribute artist.

“We’re thrilled to have Corey join our incredible cast. He is an amazing talent with a lot of energy and his resemblance to Michael Jackson is uncanny. Together with his incredible voice and dance moves we have the perfect tribute to the King of Pop,” said Donny Moore, co-producer of AMERICAN SUPERSTARS.

Corey Melton comes to AMERICAN SUPERSTARS with strong roots in the music business, dazzling audiences around the globe from New York City to Las Vegas.

He was a cast member of the performance company Team 11, a St. Louis based song and dance company produced by KPLR Channel 11. Melton also toured the nation while perfecting his dancing and acting talents and provided the vocals for many cover bands and various recording projects.

AMERICAN SUPERSTARS is a full-scale production show that combines the talents of tribute artists portraying the likeness and musical abilities of today and yesterday’s hottest stars. The American Superstars cast features tributes to Elvis, Britney Spears, Tim McGraw and Carrie Underwood. Backing the multi-talented cast are the high energy Superstars Dance Band and the beautiful Superstars Dancers. “Las Vegas Advisor” recently named AMERICAN SUPERSTARS “Best Entertainment Value in All of Las Vegas.”

About Blue Man Group Las Vegas

Blue Man Group performs nightly at its custom-built theatre at The Venetian Las Vegas. Their critically acclaimed show has been called “visually stunning,” “wildly inventive,” and “hysterically funny.”

Although it is almost impossible to describe, people of all ages agree that Blue Man Group’s show at The Venetian Las Vegas is an intensely exciting an wildly outrageous experience that leaves the entire audience in a blissful, euphoric state.

Long-time friends Matt Goldman, Phil Stanton and Chris Wink founded Blue Man Group in 1987 with a series of “happenings” which stemmed from salon style meetings. These events developed into the award-winning show that opened at the Astor Place Theatre in New York in 1991. After winning both the Obie and Lucille Lortel Awards, the Drama Desk Committee decided to present Goldman, Stanton and Wink with an additional award for their production, and to do so, the committee invented a new category: “Unique Theatrical Production.”

As one of the longest-running shows on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip, the retro-glam showgirl extravaganza Jubilee! at Bally’s Las Vegas has entertained more than 11 million guests. On July 31 the show celebrates 28 years of gorgeous showgirls, lavish costumes, dazzling scenery, world-renowned specialty acts, dynamic music and graceful pageantry.

Conceived, staged and directed by the legendary Donn Arden, who brought the spectacular French-style revue “Lido de Paris” to Las Vegas, Jubilee! is an elaborate stage production

Critics from the Travel Channel/BBC, New York Times and Las Vegas Review Journal have hailed Jubilee! as the best showgirl show noting that “in an era of high-tech productions the timeless musical of Jubilee! is the last of its kind.” Iconic showgirls from Jubilee! have been seen on “The View,” NBC’s ‘The Today Show,” “Last Comic Standing,” “The Tyra Banks Show” and “The Montel Williams Show.”

Jubilee! is performed twice nightly, six days a week at 7:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., dark on Fridays.

A limited-capacity backstage tour offered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays gives guests a once-in-a-lifetime behind the scenes look at both the historical and technical aspects of the show.

To maintain the highest show quality, auditions are held every January and July for dancers and singers. Next month show management will host open auditions in Orlando, New York and the entertainment capital Las Vegas, to find talent that sparkles greater than the rhinestones on each costume. Aspiring female and male dancers are required to have strong ballet and jazz technique while singers are required to have range between up-tempo classic Broadway to ballads.

As the only showgirl show standing, Jubilee! embodies the very essence of sexy, classic Las Vegas. Earlier this month the show kicked off a new creative campaign. Tag lines reading “The headdress weighs 35 lbs. but the rest of the costume could fit in a teacup,” and “The grandest entrance in Vegas isn’t at the front of a hotel” remind audiences about the glamour and spectacle of 85 women wearing little more than feathers and rhinestones.

The London cast of Disney’s THE LION KING welcomed Las Vegas Mayor Oscar B. Goodman as he was in town to promote the inaugural British Airways non-stop flights from London Heathrow to Las Vegas, which launched Oct. 25, 2009. While in town Goodman attended the spectacular production, now seen by more than 50 million people worldwide, and headed backstage at the Lyceum Theatre following the performance to pose for photos with principal cast members Tanya Edwards (Nala), Sakhumzi Mbele (Mufasa), Brown Lindiwe Mkhize (Rafiki), Andile Gumbi (Simba) along with two iconic Las Vegas showgirls.

A sit-down production of Disney’s THE LION KING is now playing in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay and is staged with the same spectacular music, sets and costumes that have made it a worldwide phenomenon, reaching more than 50 million people in 11 countries. For Las Vegas, Disney hand-selected an international cast of performers who have won acclaim in productions of THE LION KING across the globe, including Broadway, Taipei, South Africa, London, Los Angeles, Australia, Toronto, Shanghai, Paris and Holland. The show is performed Monday through Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. with Saturday and Sunday shows at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.
