In a tribute to the golden years of Las Vegas entertainment, Tim Beveridge is bringing a taste of glamour to the heartland this winter in a feel-good nationwide tour of his production ‘Vegas’.

Supported by the stunning Diamond Showgirls and the swinging sound of the live-on-stage Neophonic Orchestra, Mr Beveridge will be leading this stunning and talented cast of dancers and musicians over 20 dates debuting in Canterbury on 26 July.

“We’re hoping ‘Vegas’ will provide a welcome touch of excitement and a little escape for people right round NZ after a tough couple of years. We’re going to take our audiences back to the ‘Swinging Vegas’ era of its heyday when Sinatra and his Ratpack ruled the town through to the stunning cabarets as inspired by the Folies Bergère,” says Beveridge.

The season will kick off in Christchurch with five performances in the specially constructed Celebration Theatre. The theatre is a uniquely designed European Marquee which producer, Ben McDonald has imported specifically for Christchurch. He is confident the show will be bursting with “crackingly good, full houses.”

Choreographer Emma McLachlan, states that the Diamond Showgirls' stunning costumes and choreography will make for a memorable show in true Las Vegas style.

The Diamond Showgirls have collaborated with Beveridge before and McLachlan believes, “the show will be a big extravaganza, with all the typical showgirl beauty, dramatic costumes created exclusively by in-house designers and loads of sparkle. We’re looking forward to such a fantastic opportunity to showcase the art we love.”

With swinging songs, a talented band and beautiful showgirls, the tour wraps up in Tauranga early September, so there is no excuse to miss this dazzling performance.
