Owen is the only female voice impressionist in Las Vegas with her own solo show. She is charming, perky, and a talented singer. She is also a fast dresser, naughtily changing outfits and wigs between numbers in the back of the stage, while the lights are dimmed. Paradoxically, her closest competitors are the drag queens of Divas and La Cage, who also impersonate female pop stars, albeit by lip-synching.

The King Starring Trent Carlini
The King delivers more entertainment impact than many bigger acts. Elvis impersonator Trent Carlini showcases his vocal talents and considerable stage presence. The beautiful Ashley Belle performs spirited dance routines during and between the songs. Their talents and the mix of song and dance create an engaging experience.
Two Kings
An energetic “Michael Jackson” and a charismatic “Elvis” have the moves, the vocals, and the delivery in this small act.
The Rat Pack is Back
In this lighthearted show, talented actor-singers impersonate Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and Joey Bishop. Accompanied by a nine-piece band, they sing old favorites, joke around, and drink and smoke. This act has the best Sinatra impersonator in town—his voice and singing manner essentially indistinguishable from the original, his looks close to the young Sinatra. A Marilyn Monroe impersonator provides a sordid feminine touch.
La Cage
A smaller competitor to Divas Las Vegas, this drag show features men impersonating female pop stars. Unlike Divas, where the performers are all men, this show has four lovely female backup dancers. The real girls do not upstage the impersonators, validating the men’s talents. The show also benefits from its location in the Crazy Girls’ cabaret-sized theatre.
Frank Marino’s Divas Las Vegas
In this drag show lip-synching male performers impersonate female pop stars. The impersonators mimic movement so well that the audience responds as if watching the real divas. Marino, the MC, dons a dozen dazzling designer gowns during the show, to the envy of the women in the audience. The impersonators are supported by five very talented male backup dancers.
Country Superstars Tribute
Unknown country singers enthusiastically impersonate famous country singers. The Willie Nelson impersonator bears a remarkable likeness to the original. A five-piece band supports their performances.
Barbara & Frank: The Concert that Never Was
Two impersonators and their pianist sing separately and together and chat with each other and the audience. The challenge of impersonating stars of this caliber is high, but the audience appears satisfied.
