Las Vegas' Legendary Sahara Hotel & Casino
Tony-Award Winning Musical 'Too Good to be True' for Las Vegas
The much-anticipated opening
of The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas just got bigger with the
addition of the Tony-Award winning smash hit musical, Jersey Boys. The
perennially sold-out show based on the life story of Frankie Valli and the
Four Seasons has taken Broadway by storm and now has set its sights on Las
Vegas, opening on the Strip in early 2008.
"With advance ticket sales over $30 million on Broadway we are
confident that visitors from all over the world will come to see what is
currently the hottest ticket on Broadway," said Rob Goldstein, president of
The Venetian and The Palazzo. "Jersey Boys appeals to a wide range of
audiences, beyond the traditional theatergoer. The spectacular musical is
the type of entertainment that has become the hallmark of The Venetian:
award-winning, great quality and distinctive. We expect The Palazzo,
together with The Venetian, to continue to be the preeminent entertainment
destination in Las Vegas."
Jersey Boys, which opened to rave reviews on November 6, 2005,
continues to set weekly box office records and has been among the top
grossing shows on Broadway ever since. As well as being a critical and
audience favorite, the show won four 2006 Tony Awards including Best
Musical. The original Broadway cast recording on Rhino Records won the
Grammy Award for Best Show Recording and remains one of the best-selling
show CDs in the US.
The smash hit musical follows the rags-to-riches tale of Frankie Valli
and the Four Seasons, four blue-collar kids working their way from the
streets of Newark to the heights of stardom, and features such hits as
"Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You," "Oh, What
a Night," and many more.
The Broadway creative team, including director Des McAnuff,
choreographer Sergio Trujillo, authors Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, and
The Four Seasons, will be directly involved in the Las Vegas production of
Jersey Boys.
"BASE Entertainment and our producing partners Michael David and The
Dodgers are extremely excited to be bringing this smash hit to, what we
expect will be, the most luxurious resort in Las Vegas," said Scott Zeiger,
co-CEO of BASE Entertainment. "The state-of-the-art theater housing this
production will serve as a perfect setting for this extraordinary show."
The Palazzo is a stand-alone resort currently being built by Las Vegas
Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS) in the heart of the famed Las Vegas Strip. When
combined with the neighboring Venetian and Sands Expo and Convention
Center, The Palazzo will give the company the largest hotel and convention
complex in the world. In addition to Jersey Boys, the $1.8 billion Palazzo
will feature more than 3,000 all-suite rooms and offer its new shopping,
dining and entertainment on two luxurious levels. The 450,000-square-foot
retail space, The Shoppes at The Palazzo(TM) will be highlighted by Barneys
New York and connected to The Venetian via The Grand Canal Shoppes. It will
house approximately 60 high-end and mid-level stores from the most
recognizable brands to the hottest newcomers and unique one-of-a-kind
boutiques drawn from all over the world. Additionally, The Palazzo will
offer 14 new restaurants from renowned chefs, many of whom are not yet
featured in the Las Vegas area.
