An Old Fashioned, some red lipstick and a black dress…sigh, there’s just something undeniable about a good ol’ classic. The beloved Vegas showgirl may be an endangered species these days (insert tear), but “VEGAS! THE SHOW” preserved those feather-clad beauties and the likes of an era when everything was flashier and dripping with sophistication. What’s that you ask? Can a show filled with gorgeous and talented women a la Rat Pack era really exist in the here and now? Oh yes my friend, it sure can and all we have to say is raise that curtain and let the good times roll. With a little song, a lot of dance and that certain sultry allure that only old timey Vegas could pull off, this is a trip down memory lane and, well, it’s pretty legit. The costumes are fun, funky, sexy and so real. Ok, well maybe not the candy-themed costumes but hell, their Sammy Davis Jr. sure had us pining for an autograph. For a city that was built on pure, raw talent and obviously dolla dolla bills, this show celebrates iconic moments from the city's rich entertainment history through the decades that made the Vegas we know and love today. And we’ll tip our top hats to that.

Here is a sneak peek for SHANGRI-LA-LA, a fast, funny, 1-hour comedy musical about Siegfried & Roy, Las Vegas magic, showbiz ambition, backstage scandal, and revenge served with rhinestones.

This is the festival version of Shangri-La-La, now headed to Harrisburg, New York City, Philadelphia, and the digital Rogue Theater Festival.

This abbreviated one-hour festival version focuses on Siegfried & Roy and their extraordinary reinvention at Steve Wynn’s Mirage Hotel. Created as global icons to fill its 3,044 rooms, they helped usher in a new era of family-friendly entertainment, replacing topless showgirls with white tigers, sequins, and magic on an epic scale. Visually playful and sharply comic, Shangri-La-La captures the moment Las Vegas reinvented itself — and two performers became its most dazzling illusion.
