My partner and I first saw the show in September 06 and while the show was very entertaining with some amazing impersonators (Britney Spears is like a double!), the show was let down by the extreemley poor "VIP" seating and terrible backup dancers.
My partner wanted to come back to Vegas this year as our last long haul holiday (from the UK), and he insisted on going back (im writing this a few hours after the show). We both came away feeling very let down...Why?...Because nothing has changed in the last year!
The terrible "VIP" seating is still the same conference chairs and at $79 a piece its rediculous! Frank Marino has not changed any of his routene with the same jokes about Britney Spears injuring her knee last year but she's spending the last year on them and yet Britney's injury was two years ago. Then he mentions his part in the movie Miss Congeniality 2 last year, again the movie was two years ago!
Some of the impressionists are amazing such as Cher, Reba McEntire, the amazing Britney Spears who i swear must be her twin sister and the finale "What Makes A Man".
The backup dancers though are another story, i swear they must be the cast offs from every other show - they really are terrible. What confuses me though is why they use female backup dancers when this is a drag show!
Last year i bought the DVD but when we watched it i swear it has been filmed by somebody's phone camera with it going in and out of focus, zooming in and out inapropriately and the sound cutting out. This year i bought the programme book as i really wanted to see the guy who plays Britney without the makeup, only to find he isnt in there. I would be pissed if i were him, i mean he's been doing his thing every night for atleast the last year and yet Frank Marino clearly hasnt updated the programme to include him which i think is out of order.
At the end of the show, Frank stated that this was his 22nd anniversary of the show so you'd think in those 22 years with the money the show makes that he would update his material, the programme and the DVD. The DVD is $20 so for God sake get someone professional in to film is!!
This time also there were two acts missing, Jennifer Lopez and someone else who i cant remember right now. This made the show last only an hour and 10 minutes instead of the full hour and a half.
Q. Would i go back again and would i recommend the show?
A. If they cut their prices, provided quality seating for "VIP" tickets and if Frank Marino spent a little less time working on his nails and a little more time updating his material then YES but, as it currently is i would only recommend it if you can get a huge discount on the tickets.
