Tickets are currently available for Sunday - Thursday nights (no performances on Friday or Saturday) from July 16 through August 31 Vern (excerpts from a LA Times article below) "I think Vegas is a really appropriate place for the show," Shag said, "because a lot of what it deals with, and a lot of what my artwork deals with, is sort of an extreme form of hedonism, and Las Vegas is sort of the ultimate hedonistic experience." Changes to the production include the elimination of an intermission, cabaret seating for 300, a midnight curtain and a 21-and-older age requirement. "We're just a little bit freer with some of the things that were innuendo before," Bradley said. "It still has that modest Shag essence that is of a time before the sexual revolution, but it's still very sexy." The major difference in the Vegas production, however, comes courtesy of Shag, who redesigned the sets and created a video wall to represent set shifts with animation, still scenery and graphics.
