Jersey Boys - If you like
any music by Frankie Valli
& the 4 Seasons you will thoroughly enjoy this show. Your toes will be tapping and you'll find yourself singing along to the songs in this fast paced show. The story about the boys pulls no punches and depicts the drama behind the music. It is a must see performance in a great venue at the
Palazzo.

"O" Cirque du Soleil - While some shows are too predictable, "O" delivers an unbelievable performance. Great music, fun costumes, incredible staging and special effects that will have you reliving and thinking about the experience for weeks to come. It is a winning show to recommend to family and friends visiting Las Vegas. It's at the Bellagio. Jim Servino ***** |

Defending the Caveman - It would be easy to say the show is a comedy based on the differences between men and women, but
Kevin Burke's performance in Caveman is more than just that. This one man show engages the audience and does a fine dance between what makes us laugh about the opposite sex, while at the same time makes us think about why we appreciate the opposite sex. Burke provides lots of fun at neither gender's expense, because he balances his observations about men and women equally. Leave your sensitivities at home and don't get hung up on a few choice words. Most of my friends enjoyed it with some wanting to go back a 2nd time. Find it at the
Excalibur

The Lion King - The heart warming story, terrific talent and elaborate costumes make it stunning show. Even if you've seen the animated movie you'll enjoy this performance in a whole new way. With over 40 actors and 20 puppets you'll be amazed at the theatrical innovations that make this a unique show. This Disney production is a great way to introduce and share live theater with your children or grandchildren. It's at the Mandalay Bay. Jim Servino **** |

Beatles Love - I wasn't quite sure what to expect going into the performance. This Cirque du Soleil production does an incredible job of mixing the music, visuals and fun that make up the decades of thee Beatles. The talent of the performers along with the top notch costumes blend with an audio montage of contemporarily mixed and reprocessed best of the Beatles music. I felt a pleasant sensory overload and couldn't wait to see what came next. See it at the Mirage. Jim Servino ***** |

Blue Man Group - If you are ready to leave your traditional show expectations at the door and open your senses to an overwhelming avalanche of entertainment, then this show is a must see. I don't think I can adequately describe the extreme combination of music, visual and even plumping supplies they use to entertain. Even the audience participation is the best in that everyone gets to play. The baby boomers through teens will enjoy this show the most. See it at the Venetian. Jim Servino **** |
