| Posted By: gregoryzephyr Posted On: May 14 Views: 239 | Entertainment vs Art I still think that Broadway would work provided it has at least music that is popularly well known (e.g., Grease) or is a spectacular "show." Momma Mia had the music. Phantom has the spectacle. Cats, Grease, Lion King would seem to have one or the other or both and might do well. You also can't have a boring plot or a story so complicated that a half-drunk audience can't follow. People go to Vegas to be entertained by artists. People go to New York to see artistic entertainment. There's a difference. |

| Posted By: David in Nova Scotia Posted On: May 13 Views: 272 | B'way Shows I tend to think that big Broadway musicals are not a good mix for Las Vegas; reviews/variety shows probably work better (and I LIKE broadway shows). One of the differences is the experience itself of going to the theatre in NY (or elsewhere). I've seen Starlight Express, Avenue Q and Night at the Opera (Tribute to Queen) in LV, but the experience of going to a showroom is not the same as a theatre (even when it pretends to be). What's really interesting is that I've seen one of the Cirque shows (Allegria) in a theatre rather than a showroom, and it didn't work there as well as Cirque shows do in a showroom. Go figure! |
