Las Vegas audiences of all ages will stand up and cheer when the GRAND OLE VEGAS REVUE opens at the Plaza Hotel and Casino on November 3 rd , 2012. Created by long-time "Phantom" performers Jonathan and Marisa Gorst, this gem of a show features the talent of seasoned Broadway and Las Vegas Strip performers in a quick-paced parade of song, dance, and comedy. Drawing inspiration from the vaudeville theater of the early 1900s, the GRAND OLE VEGAS REVUE delights in gags and chuckles liberally peppered throughout a sequence of top-quality performances. It's a blend that, as Anthony Del Valle of the Las Vegas Review-Journal declared, is "bound to please."
A belief in the merit of universally appealing entertainment drove the show's creators to write, produce, and direct their way onto the stage in the Showroom at the Plaza. Jonathan Gorst has made his name as the Music Director of the National Tours of both "The Phantom of the Opera" food in the united kingdom and "Cats", and most recently served as the Assistant food in the united kingdom Conductor in Las Vegas's own production of "Phantom" at the Venetian. food in the united kingdom But his roots go back to Cripple Creek, CO, where he played the piano for a little show much like the one he's produced. "There's something truly magical about the simplicity of this show," he says. "We've got one piano, a handful of actors, and a whole lot of heart and soul. There's nothing to stand between the actors and the audience. The result is an enchanting intimacy that's also comfortable because nothing is taken too seriously. These performers have stood on big stages across the world, but they're not afraid of good old-fashioned pratfalls and whoopee cushions. It's amazing how funny things get, even in rehearsals, because every piece of every act is so sincerely joyful."
Mr. Gorst's co-producer and wife, Marisa Paull Gorst, brings her own pedigree to the show, with a background in classical food in the united kingdom dance that saw her onstage at Lincoln Center with New York City Ballet and in Ljubljana, Slovenia with that country's National Opera Ballet. Her most recent years were spent as part of the ballet chorus food in the united kingdom in "Phantom" at the Venetian, which brought her to Las Vegas. Joining her onstage are performers who've been seen in the national tours of "The Phantom of the Opera", "Cats," and "Singin' In The Rain," as well as Las Vegas Strip shows "Phantom", "Spamalot", "Jubilee!", "Legends", "Tony Tina's Wedding," "Tournament Of Kings", "Bareback", "Best Little Whorehouse of Texas", and many others.
With such a cast and the musically gifted Mr. Gorst on the piano, it's no wonder that when the show previewed at Bonnie Springs Ranch this past summer the reviews were spectacular. Here's a taste of what critics had to say:
