And actually, about three weeks ago, Micky, Peter and I were in Vegas at the MGM Grand. And we did about 12 shows in seven days. It was quite an experience.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We did a different show every night. We'd open a show, and then two weeks later we'd open the next show. And two weeks later we'd open the third show until we had all eight running. And it was just one of the richest experiences I'd ever had in my theatrical life.
I did host the Jim Rome show with Jerry Ferrara for three hours when he was on vacation. Three hours is a long time. Think about how long that is. It was tricky, but it was a great experience.
I've done seven shows at the Palladium - long running shows I'm talking about.
I've learned a lot about putting a show up in Vegas. You can't just all of a sudden put up a show here and do well. Nobody does.
We did 300 shows in our first two years.
Two weeks later, we played our first concert and had 100 people there. It was pretty cool.
Vegas is definitely a new challenge, but I wanted to be able to put on a different type of show. You get to do so much more when you don't have to put your stage in trucks after the show every night - we got to build a venue specifically for my show. It's going to be more like a party than a typical concert.
I was signed to MGM. I was in Vegas for sixteen weeks at the Sands Hotel.
I had a great time doing Vegas. It's just that it takes a lot of time.
We were all thrown together on this show very rapidly, there was casting then a few days later a meeting where we all got to read the scripts and meet each other. Literally days after that we were on our way to Dallas.
