A Mill Park comedian is helping to bring Las Vegas is to Melbourne’s Athenaeum Theatre this September to dazzle audiences with mesmerising acts and costumes.
James Liotta plays host Gino Starr in Club Vegas – The Spectacle, a show created by Dion and Randall International, showcasing the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip.
“My character has a bit of an Italian background and is a quirky master of ceremonies that brings the show together,” Liotta said.
“It’s a real family-friendly, colourful show to come and see, and my involvement the comic relief because I can’t sing or dance.
“Club Vegas is Gino Starr’s club, and although he has no talent, he thinks he does, but all the people around him have the talent.
“It’s essentially a variety show with international circus performers, dynamic singers, aerialists, and illusions by Sam Powers, who’s a very well-known magician and illusionist.”
Liotta said the show has “a lot to see” with a close to 4.5-metre-sized motorised stiletto that the cast will be dancing on and a million dollars worth of costumes.
“All the performers are experienced professionals in their areas,” he said.
“What the audience is seeing is the best of the best, coming from all parts of Australia to be part of this show at the Athenaeum Theatre.
“It’s not a play or a story, it’s just two hours of enjoyment that move from act to act and music to music.”
Club Vegas – The Spectacle will take the stage at the Athenaeum Theatre on September 1 and 2.
