With Adam Lambert again out front, Queen will rock the Park Theater in its “Crown Jewels” residency. The 10-show series opens Saturday and Sunday and runs through Sept. 22.
Shows
You might recall that Las Vegas vocalist Daniel Emmet had been dismissed from the series on July 17, despite a bold and beautiful rendition of the Italian ballald “Caruso.”
You might remember, or not, that when Criss Angel opened at Luxor in October 2008, he was dating Holly Madison. She soon took over the Bo Peep character in “Peep Show” — at Planet Hollywood.
Among Las Vegas Strip production shows still running, only “Legends in Concert” (1983) and “Crazy Girls” (1987) pre-date “Tournament of Kings” at Excalibur. Now Troy Burgess is joining the Las Vegas institution.
The show has been twice delayed since its July 11 opening was announced. This week, the show received word that another co-producer, Marty Romley, was pulling out of the project.
The effective closing date for “Marylin” was retroactively set at June 18. The show’s final performance was June 17; it was performed 23 times after opening for previews May 12.
Matt Goss is celebrating his 100th show at 1Oak at the Mirage at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday night.
The Kats! Bureau at this writing is Vue Bar at the D Las Vegas. We do have a good Vue of an old Fremont Street visage, the El Portal theater sign. That business is now a gift store specializing in Indian wares.
