"The Sopranos Last Supper" is playing inside the Empire Ballroom on the Strip. It is an interactive comedic-musical spoof of a show that is based on the popular TV series. A lot of time has passed since I last saw this show, and with that time, a lot of changes (thankfully,) have been made to this production...the form and format of the show is almost completely different. Its lasting success on the Strip speaks volumes for its stalwart persistence. The show still has its problems, but for those that love an interactive show and the Sopranos; it should provide a fun evening.

The show is an easy and comfortable ninety minutes. There is no longer a dinner, but a welcome antipasto plate. The story is still a bit awkward and clumsy...Tony Soprano (now going under the alias, Tony Baritone) has been indicted and so a party is being thrown so that the culprit and snitches can be ferreted out.

This is a character driven show and needs strong actors to propel the production forward, and there is a fine line between strong characters and bad caricatures. It is a line that not all of the performers know how to walk. The cast is comprised of a full range of actors...there are some very good people that are performing in this show---people that have created dimensional and believable characters...and there are some horrifically bad actors that rely solely upon misguided stereotypes.

The lead, Tony Soprano (Baritone) is one of these fine actors. He is a joy to watch onstage. Another character of note is the psychiatrist. She was wonderful in her role. She was both specific and comedic, and she found the right balance between reality and the character she plays.

I am a bit torn with this production...interactive shows are just not my cup of tea, but I don’t want to dissuade people that do enjoy this brand of entertainment. If you like getting up with the cast and dancing and singing, then this might be a show that you would enjoy. If you like clapping along with all of the songs and talking with the actors as they go around the room in character, you might have a great time. In many ways, the show is just fun and silly, and there are a lot of reasons that one could have a great time.

On the other hand, if you don’t want to feel pressured and compelled to participate...then don’t go. This is a show that is best enjoyed by people that want to get up and be a part of the production.

The Empire Ballroom was a much better space than I had anticipated. I like the feeling of the room, and it seemed to work well for this show. There is no good way to get to the showroom, however...you have to go down Las Vegas Blvd, and you have to plan on extra time if you hope to make the show on time.

"The Sopranos Last Supper" is not art...but if you like to get involved, and like interactive shows, then the Sopranos could be a fun time.
