I just saw "Shag with a Twist" in Las Vegas.

The show times very...some nights it's 9:00 and other nights it's midnight when the Tupperware Party starts.

There is a clever business called "Half Price Tickets" next to the Aladdin, where they sell Theater tickets for...(you guessed it)

The show is at a little club called "Krave" which is an "Alternative" bar...They don't have Sierra Nevada, or any Scotches better than Black Label...as bars go, it's about how I imagine hell. (Corona Jager and Red Bull)

Fortunately a hostess collects the theater people from the bar about 20 minutes after the show is supposed to start and seats them in a really cool little theater beside the club.

Unfortunately, the show was poorly attended this particular(Tuesday at Midnight)night so some of the gags which would have worked off a bigger crowd seemed not to float.

The show was outstanding, fun, and very impressive. (though the costumes were a bit tattered)The performers somehow stay in character thru out the whole performance which is a tall order since they are cartoons characters.

The single thing that disappointed me (besides the Bar) was there was nothing connected with the performance for sale. No program, no stickers, no CD of the sound track...This is surprising since the play is really based on artwork that's collectible.
