One Voice Starring Bethany Owen

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 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.

Chippendales The Show

More risqué than comparable girlie shows, this show is good fun. Handsome bodybuilders perform group and solo striptease numbers for a largely twenty-something female audience. One of the performers is also a very competent singer. There are many costume changes and props, and a well-chosen soundtrack. The motorcycle gas tank masturbation scene is memorable, if unrealistic.
