A great Las Vegas entertainment tradition is the "tribute" act. Many of us weren't around back in the day to catch Elvis or the Rat Pack. But their memory lives on with several tributes shows. One of the best and longest running tribute shows is An Evening At La Cage which has been running at the Riviera Hotel and Casino for an amazing 22 years!
As recently noted by the Las Vegas Shows Reviews blog:
Believe it when you see it! There’s no need to go back in time to experience the legendary Diana Ross and sophisticated Judy Garland, and you don’t have to squint your eyes to witness the dance moves of Michael Jackson and Britney Spears in large overcrowded stadiums. Why not intimately see them all on the same evening at the snazzy zebra-striped Mardi Gras Pavilion of Vegas’ one andonly Riviera Hotel & Casino?
Presented by stunning female impersonators of famous celebrity superstars such as Madonna, Celine Dion, Cher, Dolly Parton, Britney Spears, Judy Garland, and the mega-diva Diana Ross, you will be so enthralled by their performances that you will forget that they are in fact merely impersonating! When "Celine Dion" performed “My Heart Will Go On”, her passionate facial expressions and mannerisms were flawlessly identical and encompassed a witty charm. For a moment I was so excited to catch one of her final Las Vegas performances at Caesar’s Palace until of course I realized Bette Midler had already replaced the show.
For those with the fashion flare, you will delight in the "Gucci" and alternate designer gowns and furs flaunted by host Frank Marino while presenting each artist of the evening, not to mention the revealing and "voguish" outfits of the artists themselves. Speaking of vogue, performing "Music" and "Express Yourself" in le cabaret de La Cage, "Madonna" is the two-fold slim, sexy pop icon in the form-fitting white cowgirl suit and hat and the hysterically burly-beautiful, cone-breasted-corset expression of… well… herself.
The performers are all very talented and you soon almost forget you're watching impressionists rather than the real thing, and yes, they're all female impressionsists! Frank Marino has been voted "Best Entertainer Of The Year" for his role as "Joan Rivers" and has also been honored by the Las Vegas Walk Of Stars. His star can be seen on the sidewalk in front of the Riviera casino.
The show is very entertaining and enjoyable and is well worth seeing! You're in for an evening of fun and laughter along with great music and wonderful performances. Shows have come and gone here but La Cage's longevity speaks volumes about it's levelof entertainment.
