Celine Dion: A New Day

Celine Dion’s last show, “A New Day”, was created for her under the direction of Franco Dragone, formerly with Cirque du Soleil, and he, along with his team, has created a visual spectacular around Celine and her music.

This great show plays inside the Colosseum theatre at Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino. With the theatre, the music, the performers, and everything else, it is an experience and a journey like no other show ever seen on the Strip and raises the bar and the expectation of future shows in the valley.

The experience begins as soon as you enter the theatre. The Colossuem theatre is spectacular. Especially built for this production, the theatre holds 4,000 audience members, and yet boasts that no seat is more than 150 feet away from the stage. A combination of both contemporary and classic styling, the theatre frames the production beautifully, and even though the space is large and imposing, it never seems to lose a light-heartedness or a sense of humor.

The cornerstone upon which all of this has been built, of course, is Celine Dion. She brings her magic, her music, and her charisma to the stage. Her voice is perfect, and her interaction with the audience is inspiring. She is a performer that seems energized by crowd, and the more the audience was with her, the more she seemed to give. It is easy to see why this woman has become such a huge name in the musical world.

There are times, however, that there seems to be two separate productions going on. There is Celine Dion performing, and there is the production that is going on behind her. The two seem to only rarely interact, and you often have to choose which show that you are going to watch.
The production is such that you don’t have to be a fan of Celine Dion to appreciate the show…but it certainly helps. The non-Celineophiles in the crowd may find the production tedious at times.

American Superstars at Stratosphere Tower Hotel And Casino

"American Superstars" plays in the Theatre at the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino. It is a show of imitators that work to bring you the stylings of Elvis, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Charlie Daniels, and Michael Jackson. The production is supported by a dynamic troupe of dancers and a strong band, and all in all, even though some of the acts are better than others, it is a pretty good evening of entertainment.

Even though the evening is supposed to be about the impersonation of famous performers, the real "stars" of the show are the dancers. This dynamic troupe of dancers always seems to be right on target.

They dance in a variety of styles and seem to handle each change easily. These dancers are the consistent element that ties this production together. While each of the imitators only comes out to do their segment, the dancers are there throughout the show. It is their energy and charisma, which usually make them more interesting and entertaining to watch than each of the individual performers. They are the hardest working members of this production, and they certainly deserve their accolades.

As far as the other performers go, the general sense was that the men were a lot stronger than the women. Neither the Britney, nor the Christina Aguilera, seemed to be strong enough to really carry the stage. It wasn’t as if they were really doing anything wrong, it was just that there seemed to be something missing--presence, energy, commitment, or charisma.

Beacher’s Madhouse

"Beacher’s Madhouse" plays every Saturday at the Joint inside the Hard Rock Hotel. The show does its best to set a party-like atmosphere that is hip and cutting edge with the elements of the evening being part show and part nightclub. It is self-described as, "the world’s greatest comedy variety xxxperience!"---but sadly, there is not a lot of truth in this advertising. It is, for the most part, a dreadful experience. The show is badly run, badly put together, and even the decent people in the production come off as amateurish. The two headlining comics did a good job, but their sets came on so late and were cut so short that there was little hope of salvaging the evening.

The problems of this production started with the arrival at the Hard Rock. No one seemed to know what was going on, no one knew where anyone was supposed to go, and the effects was astonishing to watch as both staff and audience members with tickets in hand wandered around aimlessly with bewildered looks on their faces…needless to say, the show started really late. The "Pre-show" was more than an hour overdue.

Pre-show host, Pete Giovine, did his best to whip everyone into a frenetic state, but there just wasn’t that much to get excited about, and he just got annoying. Even worse than Giovine, though, were the production assistants that ran through the audience yelling, "Get up! Get up! Get on your feet!" The pre-show contests were demeaned as Giovine tried to put himself into everyone’s act. His efforts to intimate himself brought the whole experience down. It seems that Giovine was under the impression that the show was about him, and it wasn’t.
