Baz
Baz: Star Crossed Love, is playing inside the Palazzo Theater. This is a musical mash up of three Baz Luhrmann films: Romeo and Juliet, The Great Gatsby, and Moulin Rouge. I have mixed feelings about this production. Some of the production numbers are brilliant. A lot of the acting is bad. The singing is out of this world. A lot of the directing is muddled and lacks focus. The dynamic of the show is lost without connective tissue, and the last third of the show is all about big numbers...the bottom line is that without the dynamics, we just don't feel anything for the performers or characters.

Zumanity
"Zumanity: another side of Cirque du Soleil" is playing inside the New York-New York Hotel & Casino. It is an exploration of sex and sexuality, and the range and depth of this exploration is wonderful. This production bears all of the classic trademarks of a Cirque extravaganza, but is the first time that the company has dealt with the exploration of human sexuality. "Zumanity's" look at love, sensuality and eroticism, in all its forms, is ultimately a story of human emotion, the nature of beauty, and the acceptance of differences. It crosses many barriers---barriers of age, race, gender, and preferences.

X Burlesque
"X, Burlesque" an erotic dance show, is now playing at the Second City theatre inside the Flamingo Hotel and Casino. This dance show offers up an interesting array of beautiful dancers that execute a variety of dances and acts to show seductions and fantasies for the audience to watch. Though some of the numbers show a great creativity and style, the production, for the most part, suffers from a lack of variety and doesn't really set itself apart from other dance reviews shows.
