Has anybody on this forum been to see Las Vegas Confidential the Musical at Star City Casino? It has Tiffani Wood from 'Bardot' and Katrina Retallick from one of the TV comedy shows. I saw a magic show with a live panther by the writer/producer (James Karp) years ago. Please someone (whose actually seen the show) write an objective review.

I believe that this was not a complete diaster as many people seem to believe. Being a drama student myself for 5 years has allowed me to be opened minded. Yes there is definate room for improvement, and perhaps a better venue, but the idea to Las Vegas the musical was not story line, but perhaps the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas itself. The idea of the mob, the show girls, and gambling was the point. The dancing and singing i found was very amazing and entertaining, and the costumes were sensational! I do believe that this is a fun night out, and your supporting and a script writer/director who has never done this before! James Karp should be congratulated on the fact that he has pursued his dreams and really put on a show of glitz and glamour! Perhaps not for story line but, for the entertainment factor. If this was such a terrible hit, why would stars such as Tiffany and Katerina Retallick agree to perform in it? i definately recommend it for a good night out!
