Baz
Baz: Star Crossed Love, is playing inside the Palazzo Theater. This is a musical mash up of three Baz Luhrmann films: Romeo and Juliet, The Great Gatsby, and Moulin Rouge. I have mixed feelings about this production. Some of the production numbers are brilliant. A lot of the acting is bad. The singing is out of this world. A lot of the directing is muddled and lacks focus. The dynamic of the show is lost without connective tissue, and the last third of the show is all about big numbers...the bottom line is that without the dynamics, we just don't feel anything for the performers or characters.

Love
"Love" is playing inside the Love Theatre at the Mirage Resort & Casino. It is a tribute show that honors the lives, music, and careers of the Beatles. It comes to us through the combined efforts of Cirque du Soleil and Apple Corps Ltd., and is filled with music, images, art, and artistry. It is huge, grand, and amazing. I am, in fact, being forced into the position of having to rethink my favorite Cirque show...this one could very well become my top pick.

Purple Reign
Purple Reign is playing inside the Night Owl Showroom at Hooters Casino Hotel. Jason Tenner, who plays Prince does a great job in his role. The music and sound of the band are great, and they put on a terrific show. You really have to be a Prince fan to truly enjoy the show. There are a lot of "inside" things that left me a bit baffled at times...when these things were explained to me later, it all made sense, but to really get the experience, brush up on your Prince trivia.
