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.
Blue Man Group
Three blue mimes use various props and stage effects to advance this show’s primary themes, which appear to be plumbing, digestion, and toilets.
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.
Celine Dion
A big concert by a major star in a huge venue. Dion sings and talks about her family, accompanied by a large orchestra and backup singers. Advanced stage and lighting effects include an unexpected use of a hologram.
Raack-N-Roll
A small and charming topless dance show, featuring a talented impressionist, rock ‘n’ roll music, and four beautiful dancers performing energetic routines choreographed primarily in the go-go style.
Barry Manilow
Manilow is eager to connect with his audience, and the audience responds by singing along, dancing, and waiving glow sticks. Remarkably, Manilow’s voice has remained substantially unchanged over the years. He is assisted by four backup singers/dancers and a ten-piece band. This is a highly professional concert by a very experienced artist, with great sound, lighting and stage effects.
Stefan Vanel
Magician Stefan Vanel works with precision and sensitive humor. This is a good-natured and well-executed magic show: cards appear out of thin air, and girls are put in cardboard boxes and folded away. The show also features energetic dance vignettes, performed by Vanel’s two beautiful assistants and a funny comedian/animal trainer who does a warm-up and variety acts.
Anthony Cools
This is a long-running hypnosis show where Cools hypnotizes volunteers into acting dirty on stage while entertaining the rest of the audience with obscene but funny comments. DVDs of each show are available for sale immediately after the performance.
Vegas! the Show
This relatively new and excellent competitor to Jubilee! provides a more contemporary interpretation of the “traditional” Vegas show genre. Because this show is smaller than Jubilee! and non-topless, it does not overwhelm the viewer as much, which some may prefer. Also, unlike Jubilee!, this show has a live band. The show’s dancers and singers are talented and beautiful, and its choreography is modern and energetic.
