Backstage LIVE with Gary & Connie Review of the Popular Las Vegas Weekly TV Show | |
From comedy to song to a little bit of golf, hosts Gary Campbell and Connie Ross produced another above-par "Backstage Live" radio and television show from the Grand Salon of The Auto Collections at the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino. The comedy styling of "Bottoms Up" Producer Breck Wall and one of his sidekicks, Sue Motsinger, brought smiles to the faces of the "Backstage" audience. In between Wall's jokes, Motsinger performed tunes, singing the "Lullaby of Birdland" and "It's Impossible." On October 27, the cast and crew of one of the longest running shows on the "Strip," celebrated the 15,000th performance of the fun-filled show. You can currently catch all the zingers, one-liners and silly skits in "Bottoms Up," Monday through Saturday at 2 and 4 p.m. at the Flamingo Hilton Hotel & Casino. Making yet another command performance at the "Backstage Live" show was one of the favorite guests, singer Ted "Boss Man" Cash. With a host of CDs ranging from jazz to Christmas tunes, Cash is never short of songs to perform, this time choosing the patriotic stance with "America the Beautiful." You can pick up Cash's CDs on his website, www.tedcash.com or at your local Las Vegas music store. The high-energy duo of May & Murray took a break from the Kabuki Lounge at the Imperial Palace to stop in and sing a tune for the audience. Stuart May and Mariellen Murray keep the Kabuki Lounge hopping nightly from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m., with an opening band beginning at 4:30 p.m. Golf Pro Mike Colandro dropped in to talk about the Celebrity Golf Event, Thursday November 15, at the Siena Golf Club. Sponsored by the Castaways Hotel & Casino, the proceeds from the "Rescue Relief Celebrity Golf Classic" will benefit the Rescue Relief Fund in New York City. For more information, contact Colandro, the tournament director, at (702) 218-0333. |
Having recently returned to the ever-changing "Legends In Concert" line-up at the Imperial Palace, "Material Girl" performer Melissa Totten returned to the "Backstage Live" set to talk about her career performing as the one and only Madonna.
