Unless you are a diehard fan, don't waste your money. As the earlier revews have said, Wayne's voice is gone. I thought surely he would apologize to the audience for being under the weather, but that never came. After reading these reviews, I realize this the norm. It sounds like he's hoarse. As for the "holdiay" part of the experience, there were a number of holiday favorites but the set decorations were unbelievably bad. If you could buy it at your neighborhood drug store, it was there; fake polyester show, bad red bows that no one considered fluffly, and small lit decorations that are available at Walmart. This is not what I paid $86 for. It was also amazing that Wayne and the pianist went off on a riff on the "War against Christmas" and how bad it was to say "Happy Holidays". Wayne should check his own publicity; it's the Wayne Newton HOLIDAY show! Don't go.

We saw Wayne at the Flamingo, got the tickets from the cheap ticket place in Fairmont Street, had a seat upstairs but were given a better seat when we arrived.

The venue needs a good refit, but Wayne and his band were very entertaining, it was a good vegas night out, the only other way we could have got to hear those tunes would have been to go to see legends.

Stop knocking Wayne, we knew very little about him, we saw him on National Lampoons Vegas Vacation and the Bond film that he was in.

He reminded me of an American version of Jim Davidsion, don't take it so seriously, it's fun, fun, fun, we had a great laugh.

And what a great band..they should have a show of their own !

Well Wayne came to Auatralia at last i thought, so paid for my Mum and sister to go with my wife and I. It was a shocker i couldn't belive he would perform like that with such a rap. Thank goodness for his back up singers and his instrument playing, or i would have walked out. This was in Perth. I had wanted to se him for so long and was gutted to see him perform like that. I thought it might just be that night with sore vocal chords, but have since read & spoke to many people saying the samething. Wayne i,m sorry but time to call it a day.

I have been waiting years to see Wayne Newton perform. Finally got my wish at the end of February 2006. I had read other reviews that said he couldn't sing anymore, but thought it was written by someone who perhaps wasn't a big fan. The show was terrible. I sat there thinking this has to get better, it only got worse. In the 50 minutes I stayed (couldn't take it anymore) he sang 4 songs, but didn't finish one of them, introduced his band 3 times, told about 10 minutes of Native Indian jokes, and had his back up singers perform solos. I finally left when his 2nd back up singer started to perform a solo. I paid to hear him perform, not his back up singers. I think it was a time filler because his voice was so bad. I almost think he was on something????!!!! One comment someone made was "he is 60 years old". So what, I saw Paul Anka recently (he is older) and he still has an amazing voice. It would have been better if Mr. Newton had been lip-synching rather than trying to sing with such a terrible voice. It would have been better to dream about seeing him than be as disappointed as I was. The other 2 in my party stayed about 15 minutes longer than I did. They said it just got worse not better. Wayne I think it is time to retire.
