Steve Wynn’s ShowStoppers Debuts at Wynn Las Vegas

Steve Wynn’s ShowStoppers celebrated its grand opening on Saturday, December 20 inside the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas.

It all started as a gift to his wife Andrea for her birthday party. Steve Wynn handpicked a selection of his favorite numbers from the best of Broadway that were iconic and had the power to resonate with human emotion. Steve Wynn’s ShowStoppers brings a talented cast of 66 singers, dancers and a full orchestra to the intimate Encore Theater with dazzling scenery and costumes.
The 90-minute show with spectacular scenery and costumes is composed of many quintessential musical numbers from some of the most celebrated composers and lyricists to ever grace American theater stages. From Cole Porter and Rodgers & Hammerstein to Stephen Sondheim and Marvin Hamlisch, the geniuses behind the creative works presented in ShowStoppers set the standard to which all other theater composers and lyricists aspire.

 

Created with the same unmistakable elegance and style that is uniquely Wynn, ShowStoppers is backed by a full orchestra and features a collection of 18 songs from more than 10 iconic musicals. 

Numbers include “One,” from A Chorus Line, “Razzle Dazzle” and “Cell Block Tango” from Chicago, “Willkommen” from Cabaret and more.
Combined, the musicals that comprise the scene-stealing catalogue of ShowStoppers have earned a multitude of Tony Awards and made the 46th Street and St. James Theater famous.
Provocative, fun and entertaining for all, Steve Wynn’s ShowStoppers will be an evening you’ll never forget. Two thumbs up. A must see show if you are in Las Vegas.
